Pink Parcel Subscription Service

Pink Parcel Subscription Box Review - 

Today I’m going to review the Pink Parcel monthly subscription boxes. I’ve always been interested in monthly subscription boxes, and although I do want to try new things I’m sometimes sceptical of spending money on a box of products that I might not like, and so when I stumbled upon Pink Parcel I was quite excited to try out their service. 

Pink parcel offer a unique subscription service, because not only do you get your usual treats and beauty products, but also a personalised selection of products for ‘that time of the month’. You can choose whether you wish to receive tampons or pads, but you can also choose the brand and style. Super helpful.  I decided to give the service a go because I figured that even if I didn’t like the beauty products I’d still have a useful selection of items. My parcel arrived before the expected arrival date, and so I’ll show you what’s inside.

The first thing to note is that the parcel is very discreet, the packaging itself is black and pink and is very sleek, and the box is the perfect size to fit through most letterboxes so that you don’t have to even answer the door to the postman. They’ve really thought this one through!

When you first open up the box you’re greeted with some leaflets detailing the products inside, and then the box has been split into five sections. 1. For Now – This cute little bag is for you to pop into your bag for when you’re on the go, and contains a few extra pads/tampons (depending on your choice). The little bag also includes a few little liners just in case, which is again a very nice touch and shows the thought that has gone into this box. 2. For later – This box contains the bulk of your pads or tampons to last you through your cycle – the best part is that you can choose how long your cycle lasts to make sure that you get enough products to last you. 3. For bedtime – This section is pretty self-explanatory; you get more of your chosen product specifically for use at bedtime. 4. For down there – Every woman knows that you don’t exactly feel super clean on your period, and so the inclusion of the Sass Intimate Purifying Cleanser in the box is a great idea, to make sure that you feel extra comfortable. The product is a very generous size and I’d imagine it would last a very long time. 5. For you – Now for the exciting part! The cute little treats are designed to make you feel better when you’d rather be in bed, and not going about your daily business. 

Here’s a breakdown of what I received:

1. English Tea Shop Organic Cranberry Vanilla Delight – Let me just say that this is THE CUTEST tiny little box of tea ever, because it comes in a teeny tiny box! I haven’t actually had the tea yet but it looks super cute and I can’t wait to try it :)

2. Pink Parcel Brow Kit – This brow kit is really cute too, and although I haven’t tried it yet it looks very promising. The kit contains two shades, one that would be perfect for filling in your brows and a highlighter powder/lighter shade for people with lighter brows. The kit also contains a small angled brush, a spoolie and a good sized mirror. This kit will be perfect for travel or just to pop in your handbag. Another winner for me.

3. Next up is a duo of nail polishes from Little Ondine, I had never actually heard of this brand before, but their products are natural and actually don’t smell like polish at all, in fact they don’t smell of anything. I was sent a pretty green shade and a gold shimmer shade (perfect for the festive season) and after trying the gold shade I can honestly say that these are pretty good, not only do they apply well but you can also peel them off, so there’s no need to use nail polish remover!

4. I was also sent a sample of the Neutrogena nourishing body lotion, I am yet to try this out, but I am going on a trip next month and this will be perfect to pop into my wash bag :)

5. Next up is the Anatomicals headache relief balm, this is a cute little tin of a very menthol/mint scented balm that you can rub on your temples to help relieve your headache. Again, a handy handbag stable and a nice addition to the box.

6. Next (yes, there’s more) I received a benecos apricot and elderflower hand cream, there isn’t much to say about this really, the brand is cruelty free and vegan, and is great to just pop into your handbag.

7. I also received a benecos Natural Kajal eyeliner in my box; this is a super pretty dark grey shade which seems very pigmented. Again the brand is cruelty free and perfect for adding a little something to your make up look.

8. Finally I received a Cocoba mini orange milk chocolate bar. I haven’t tried this chocolate yet but it does look very nice and I can’t wait to give it a go.

So there you have it, I’m really really pleased that I decided to buy this box, and the contents are perfect to make that time of the month just that bit easier. I can’t wait to receive next month’s box. Let me know what you think of these boxes :)

You can get your first box here for £7.95 :)
