The Parcel By Marie Claire: The Autumn Edit 2016 UNBOXING

Hi everyone! Today the Autumn Edit of The Parcel by Marie Claire arrived at my doorstep, and as always I was eager to rip it open and see what was inside!
The Autumn Edit Packaging

Estee Lauder New Dimension Shape + Fill Expert Serum (30ml), RP $140
The parcel first came with the Estee Lauder New Dimension Shape + Fill Expert Serum in 30ml (what a mouthful!). The serum, which is applied on freshly cleansed skin both morning and night prior to moisturiser, claims to smooth and plump the skin! I think I might hand this over to my mother haha!

Next is the CROP Natural Pure Macadamia Oil (50ml) that retails at $18. It claims it can be used as a cleanser (which I'll definitely be trialing), an anti-ageing face and body treatment, or as a hydration booster for hair and nails.
Gilded Cage Unleashed Lipstick in the shade '107' (3.5 g) (RP: $40)
 This was slightly dissappointing for me. The Gilded Cage Lipstick with its rich, pigmented colour was included in the parcel, and you had a chance to get one of three shades. Unfortunately for me, I got the shade that I definitely won't be using as it doesn't suit me. '107' is a rosy pink shimmery colour. The other possibilities were a gorgeous red or red/orange (which I ultimately wanted - but I'll be trying to purchase '22' - the Kylie Lip Kit in the upcoming days which is basically the same so we'll see how that turns out! I'll be posting a full swatch/review of every colour I have so far if I manage to get some at the next sale ;) ). Despite this, the quality seems wonderful based on the swatch I did on my hand!
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 125ml (RP: $6.95)
 I wasn't surprised to see this in this edition as it's a cult classic, but as I just recently bought a massive bottle of it I was a little let down that this was a product included in The Parcel. Anyway - you can never get enough Micellar Water so I'll make the most of it!
O.P.I. Nail Lacquer 15ml in 'Embarca-Dare Ya!' (RP: $19.95)
 The Parcel is renowned for including O.P.I nail polishes, and this time I received an 'autumn' shade that I'm not really a fan of. It's called 'Embarca-Dare Ya!' and is a shimmery red//pink colour as you can see in this photo I found. I'll be handing it over to a friend of mine who I know will live and breathe for this colour!
MOR Emporium Classics Triple-Milled Soap in Blood Orange 180g (RP: $19.95)
 This is my favourite thing in the box - as soon as I opened it up, the waft of the blood orange scent encapsulated my suroundings. It smells WONDERFUL.

Overall it was a step-down from the Summer Edit which I also have an unboxing post about. Nevertheless, I'm more than happy to pass some of these items along to friends and family who I know will get more use out of it!

I hope you found this post useful in some way and that all of you have a lovely day!
