The Parcel Winter has quite a few full-size products!
Face
Burt’s Bees – Tinted Lip Balm
I got a Burt’s Bees lip balm in a subscription box a little while ago & I actually don’t mind it. I keep it by my bed and usually put it on before I leave the house and before I jump into bed. I’m not sure I will be using the tinted version before bed, but I have been using it before I leave the house.
Garnier – Wake Up Cream
I have sampled a few Garnier face creams in the past but I find they just sit on my skin. If I rub or scratch my face it rubs off in little clumps. I’m not saying that’s what will happen to this if I use it, I’m just not willing to risk it. It’s a full-size product & I would rather it go to someone that would actually use it.
The Body Shop – Drops of Youth Concentrate
I’ve had to look this up to determine what it smells like, I can’t quite put my finger on it. The list of ingredients hasn’t helped me figure it out either! It goes on smoothly, doesn’t feel greasy & is absorbed pretty quickly. I don’t even need to wash my hands afterward.
Nivea – Sensitive Caring Micellar Water
I’m glad this arrived, the micellar water I got in the last parcel is almost empty. I’ve tested it out once so far & seems to do the job.
Garnier – BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector
I’m hoping this will be a good colour fit for me, the medium is just too dark. I do have a feeling it might be too light though.
Body
Rituals Cosmetics – Fortune Oil
I was curious to see how this would work. It’s an oil that you use in the shower that foams up. The label listed the scent is sweet orange which I wouldn’t have guessed by the smell. It smells like a light oriental incense. It didn’t leave me feeling afterward, nor did the water bead up on my skin like it would after using an oil. I don’t think I would go out of my way to buy it but I will continue to enjoy using this sample.
Mor – Rosa Noir Hand & Body Milk
I am pretty sure the last lotion I got from this brand was the sam. I’m also pretty sure that I gave the last one to my mum. She will also be getting this one.
Colgate – Optic White Toothpaste
I have actually been meaning to buy some of this it was a nice inclusion in The Parcel! I’ve actually kept it to myself & keep putting it away after I’m done. Although I’m not sure if I have actually seen a difference in the shade of my teeth though.

Hair
John Frieda – Frizz Ease Forever Smooth Anti-Frizz Primer
As with the Garner face cream, I think I’m going to give it to someone else to use. I’m not quite sure when I would use it. I barely to remember use oil while my hair is still damp.
Klorane – Shampoo with Quinine & B Vitamins
I’ve used this shampoo before. It does a decent job & smells ok. This sample seems to be quite runny compared to the last one, from memory.
