I have really enjoyed trialling
the Discovery Box products. Here are the
two reviews for the nail varnish and eye shadow. The other additional items were a
multivitamin drink with collagen (for 40+, slightly perturbed) and a night
serum. Realistically, I couldn’t do a
review on these as I wouldn’t notice any difference after one use, so I chose
the other two this time.
Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Lacquer in Apple
I hadn’t realised that Crabtree
& Evelyn sell nail varnish and I must say that although the colour was not
to my initial taste (red with a shimmer in there) it has grown on me considerably
and I am quite enjoying wearing it. It will be perfect for the Festive period,
or if you want to show off your talons at a dinner party! The branding and bottle are simple and
elegant, and the brush is very nice to use.
I’m also impressed with the price, a little bargain at £6.
Wild about Beauty Eye shadow in Eva
The second product that arrived
in my box was a lovely little eye shadow from Wild about Beauty. I hadn’t even heard about this brand of
makeup, so popped onto Google and realised it is collaboration between Louise
Redknapp and makeup Artist Kim Jacob.
Anyway, moving on, I was excited to use this product, as it is the shade of colour that I would consider buying,
a brown shimmery base that I could wear in the day or glam up for the
evening.
On the whole the eye shadow was
ok, I found I needed to apply a lot to get any depth in colour, which may be
the colour not being ideal for me, although it was one of the darker colours on
the swatch. It does appear to be a skin
friendly product with Aloe Vera, and Vitamins E & C and I didn’t get any
reaction or problems. I really liked the
packaging, and the little compact case was easy to open and didn’t chip my newly
painted nails, so a tick there! I’m
unsure that I would pay £13 for it, as unfortunately I have paid less for eye shadow
and had a much better coverage. I was a
little disappointed, however I will continue to use it and experiment a little
further. On the plus side, the blog is
really good, an interesting read.
I have included the above product
websites so you can have a mooch over there.

Very interesting! Now I know where I have been going wrong. The lid of the eye shadow with the mirror is very useful when out an about for touch ups. Nail varnish is very festive!
Love the review, Claritybeauty. Looking forward to your next product review.
