Flo Atomiser

Back in August I went on Holiday to the beautiful Peniscola in Spain.  We flew back home from Barcelona and wow what a beautiful place that is!  Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to take a look around as we got lost trying to find the car hire place but we did stop off for lunch by the beach.  I've never been to a place like it with the city spreading right up to the beach.  I enjoyed some delicious breaded monkfish and a strawberry soy milkshake.  Yum!

I hate having to wait around in airports so a stroll around the shops is a must.  It's such a shame that most of the prices aren't that different to the ones here in the UK now and you have to look out for the odd % off deals instead.  Well I found myself a cracker!  I managed to pick up a 100ml bottle of DKNY Red Delicious.  I can't now remember how much it was but I knew it was cheaper than I'd seen the 50ml bottles on the high street.  A great deal, yes??

I love most DKNY fragrances with Be Delicious and Red Delicious right up there at the top, so it was an absolute disappointment a few weeks later when I excitedly opened up the box to find out... it didn't work!!  All of a sudden it wasn't such a great bargain.  After playing around with it and managing to get a couple of dribbles from the bottle it got tossed to one side until I figured out a way to fix it.

I'd put my frustrating find completely out of my head until a few days ago.  I popped out on my lunch to pick up a new bottle of perfume and saw sitting next to the fragrance cabinet a handful of Flo atomisers.  This had to be the answer, right?

Carmine October '11 Reviews

I've noticed the growing popularity in these 'beauty boxes' and had been considering trying them out for the last month or so.  I picked out 4 different companies Boudoir Prive (£10 + p&p), GlossyBox (£10 + p&p), Carmine (£10 + p&p) and Feel Unique (£9.95).  A bit overkill? Maybe, but I wanted to try at least one box from each company to see how they compared.  Each one promises almost the same 5-6 deluxe samples with the odd full size product and of course exclusive discount codes for some of the products should you wish to re-purchase.

Although I subscribed to each at the beginning of November I actually received October boxes from two of the companies, Carmine and GlossyBox, which I wasn't expecting.

Below is what I received from Carmine.  I'll be sharing my GlossyBox later this week.

I received my first Carmine box around a week after I signed up.  How exciting!

Opening up the bright orange mailing box revealed the black box inside.  (Sorry about the pics, I had to take them in the evening with a flash.  Hopefully the next ones will be in daylight!  ^_^)
