 Her Fashion Box labelled this box as their best ever. Unfortunately I would have to disagree. Each month I have a lot to say about their products but this month I felt it was lacklustre and you'll see what I mean once you've read through this blog entry.

The accessories this month felt/looked really tacky and also didn't fit (being a plus size girl). So basically half of this box was useless for me, BUT there was one product that I ABSOLUTELY loved and it will be a permanent addition in my life but we'll get to that later. First, here are the pics of the accessories for this month.

Complimentary gift for completing the survey.....
Belt and scarf
Silver wrap bracelet

REDKEN CONTROL ADDICT

There was nothing extra fabulous about this hairspray for me but it will definitely be used. I run out of hairspray all the time for shoots etc.

DR LEWINN'S PRIMER AND CLEANSING MILK


These days it takes a lot to impress me since I made the switch to Dermalogica skin care. I trialled this out for a week but found my skin didn't like the formulas and I broke out. So, it's without saying that I won't be using these again.

HALLMARK 'THE COLLECTION' CARD RANGE


I don't understand how this fits in with fashion/beauty but they are nice cards. I felt like this was just thrown in for the hell of it. #fail

REVITANAIL CONDITIONING REMOVER WIPES


This is the product that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE and can't imagine not having in my nail kit! Where have these been hiding and how have I not heard about them?!? Seriously these wipes deliver on their promises!

First of all, the packaging is super cute and is ideal for travelling. When I opened the packet I found that the wipes were very moist (unlike former brands of nail polish remover wipes that I have used before) and there was no harsh scent.

Below are images of two of my most damaged nails after removing glitter polish. Every time I remove my nail polish this is what they look like. I had used my regular nail polish remover as I wanted to show you what these wipes can actually do. These images are all macro shots and have not been edited.

Amazing right?! These wipes were even strong enough to remove the glitter polish. All in all this product is a MEGA WIN and definitely one to purchase and at $5.95 a packet it's a steal! You've just got to remember that if you want to apply polish straight after using these wipes that you will need to clean your nails in order for the polish to adhere to your nails.

Overall I felt like this months HFB was a bit of a fail so here's hoping next months box is better! x
