Mirenesse VIP Box for January

My Mirenesse VIP Collection box arrived this morning. I was very excited as I always love to see what Mirenesse has put together for me.

For those who have not heard about this club before I have pasted the blurb from their website below:

VIP Club Membership gets you the best prices always. Free Beauty Boxes, a $25 Monthly Voucher off a $65 Purchase. Free Shipping 24/7 + up to 80% Discount everyday! and so much morel for only $25 per month, plus you can control your membership for your account pages.

I have been using Mirenesse for many, many years and been a VIP club member for, oh god.... since I first heard about it (I honestly cannot remember how long). I pay $25.00 per month and receive a box of goodies in the mail every two months - generally 4 - 5 full sized items. I love my boxes and (for me) it is definitely value for money. I particularly love those months when I receive a shipment previewing a new product/s.

So what was my reaction to this month's box?

I have a number of these Glossy Kiss's and absolutely love them. These are a 4-in-1 lip liner, balm, gloss and stain. They hydrate, smooth and rejuvenate your lips (they can also be used on your cheeks too - although I don't).

I love the lushness of these glosses/stains - they glide on beautifully and their staying power are great. In my box I revived #14 Perfect Kiss (RRP $29.95)

An oldies, but a favourite is the Studio Magic Cheeky Blush. This is a long-wearing mineral blush which hints at colour (when applied) rather than overpowering my face.

I love the way this blush contours my face and is so silky smooth. I just find it so hard to mess up the beautifully decorated surface (looks like a lace overlay)

I received #1 Paris Peach - which (I am happy to say) is the colour I use!(RRP $29.95)

Formulated for sensitive skin this Touch on Concealer is complexion-perfecting with a blend of 3D minerals which moisturises  and improves the look of fine lines, dark circles and blemishes.

I have been using (and loving) this product since Mirenesse introduced it and find it is great for concealing dark spots and blemishes, while prepping my skin for foundation.

I received Ivory Pink  - which I am happy to say is my normal shade. (RRP $29.50)

And lastly (but not leastly) I received the Studio Magic BB Pore Powder (RRP $35.00). This stuff is fabulous - it is a weightless powder which diffuses artificial light to create a skin tone which is poreless and lineless.

I have large pores near my nose and regularly use this product to hide them. It does not clog my pores and is not heavy. I use this either over foundation or on its own and only need a small amount for great coverage.

Now keep in mind I pay $25.00 per month and receive a box every two months. So I am paying $50.00 for each box. This is much more expensive than the other monthly beauty boxes on the market...however...... I also get:
  • A $25 gift voucher to use each month (I get an email code monthly), 
  • Free shipping on all/any purchases I get from the Mirenesse website 
  • Any purchases I do make (from the website) I get at a discounted rate (minimum of 20% discount). 
  • I also get email preview of new products and have the opportunity to purchase them at a greatly discounted price.

So in many respects I cannot compare this with the other monthly beauty boxes I get. All I can say is I never get disappointed with the choices and any make up/skin care is tailored to what I would normally use.

Now where was I.....

I paid $50.00 for my box and received products to the value of $124.90 - added to that I will be using 100% of the items I received.

So for me this membership (and box) are value for money.
