Hi everyone,
This month’s box was really something I wasn’t expecting a couple of months ago, after the October 2013 box it got all quiet around Truly Yours and no boxes came anymore. The internet was filled with rumours and well, nobody knew what happened to this box, it was like they suddely stopped but didn’t disappear, just nothing new came out. And then all of a sudden in February there was an email saying that Superbox had taken over Truly Yours (just as Glossybox has just been taken over as well, but more news about that in another post). And then later on in February there was another email saying we could order the new March box. Thankfully no one lost the points they’d acquired. I think wel all know I have a lot of patience so I actually immediately ordered the new box and when it came today I saw immediately that that was the right choice.
Products in the box:
- Toni & Guy – Hair Meet Wardrobe – Glamour Firm Hold Spray (75 ml sample / 250 full size = €11,99)
I’ve had this product before in a previous box and it’s quickly become one of my favourites, I love the travel size for weddings because it doesn’t take up a lot of space in the makeup bag I bring with me all day.
Get definitive hold and control that takes you from day to night. Spray evenly over dry, styled hair. It’s firm, reliable hold makes it ideal for up dos.
- Hot Makeup – Nailpolish (there is no name on the bottle) (10 ml full size = €7,95)
I wish I could tell you more about this Danish brand, I haven’t heard of this brand before but I did find their online shop and some information. It was created by the Danish company HOT4YOU in 2007. HOT4YOU develops make-up, for themselves “HOTmakeup” and for private labels (Danish & International). This is a brand that looks to be a trendsetter and has a team of professional and devoted make-up artists. HOTmakeup is based on bright colours, high quality and stylish design for low prices. Also nothing is tested on animals.
For the nailpolish I can tell you this is their Red nailpolish, it doesn’t have another name and I can also tell you that this nailpolish didn’t dry on my nails in 15 minutes. I usually take a quick picture with my phone when the polish is still wet, just in case I bump into anything or something happens to distract me from my nails and this time that was very handy. It wasn’t like it was dry to the soft touch, I seriously mean that if I blew on my nails it would move a little still.
So I only have for you the iPhone picture because actually got ruined when the cat walked by.
This is two coats:
- Nivea – Calm & Care Spray (50 ml travel size / 150 ml full size = €3,99)
I haven’t used this yet, I expect it to be a nice anti-perspirant. It’s an after shaving deo with Hammamelis and Pro Vitamin B5 that actively support skin regeneration after shaving. It also contains Witch Hazel to calm irritated skin.
- Thierry Mugler – Womanity – Eau Pour Elles (5 ml miniature / 50 ml refillable full size = €59,00)
I LOVE this fragrance so much. It’s so different from many of the scents that are around at the moment and it’s beautifully unique. I also really appreciate the miniature bottle that we got in this box. It’s so funny that when I do the fragrancefinder on his website, he actually advises me to wear Womanity. It’s the portrait of an independent, feminine and spontaneous woman; sparkling, intuitive, connected and ceaselessly on the go. She is a singular woman with multiple facets, freely flaunting her individuality.
Thierry Mugler Womanity is the first sweet and savory fragrance. Mysterious and unique, the perfume revolves around the fig – a symbol of femininity. The refillable bottle is a work of art.
Notes: fresh fig, oceanic accord, fig wood and leaves
This fragrance makes me more brave and carefree, it makes me live in the moment and enjoy so much more. It is perfection.
- ROC – Enydrial Extra-Emollient Rich Shower Cream (60 ml sample / 400 ml full size = €17,23)
This rich, hypoallergenic* cleansing cream from RoC® is ideal for daily facial and body cleansing and gently acts against skin dryness. Enriched in glycerin and skin softening ingredients, it nourishes dry, very dry and sensitive skin with moisture, helping it to feel soft and smooth.
Soap, fragrance and paraben free.
*Formulated to minimise the risk of allergies.
RESULTS:
Perfectly and gently cleansed, your skin recovers comfort and feels soft, smooth and supple.

Work into a creamy lather on moist skin, then rinse off. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with water.
SKIN TYPE:
Dry, very dry and sensitive skin.
KEY INGREDIENTS:
This gentle cleanser combines a soft cleansing base to Glycerin and Panthenol for a gentle cleansing and soft and supple skin.
I like that they say creamy lather, which I haven’t been able to get, but I do really love the fact that my skin really feels sooo moisturized after a shower and my flaking skin on my calves in the winter really love this shower cream.
- Dr. van der Hoog – Charming Chocolate Mask (10 ml full size = €2,23)
Most of the masks and products by Dr. van der Hoog really are amazing in quality and not as expensive as you would expect. If you can get your hands on this brand, please do try it.
This mask really does smell of chocolate and that does make me happy (and hungry!). Your skin also loves cocao-extracts and cocao-butter.
