Last month I received my bag after 25th so was expecting it to come around that time only this month too. But when I saw the courier boy with my fabbag parcel I was super excited. Without much delayed I collected my box and opened it.

Sally Hansen foot scrub:  Sally Hansen is a reputed brand and the product claims to be blend of Vitamins A, C, E, Tea Tree Oil and exfoliates gently removes dry, dull skin. Dry skin easily rolls away. Feet feel fresh and renewed. The does what it claims and gives you smooth and soft feet.

Just herbs glow kit:  There are three samples Lively Clean which is an exfoliating cleaning gel, an Alovera Facial Massage Gel and Instaglow Almond Complexion Pack.  Start with a cleaning gel followed by aloe vera gel and pack. All the three products are paraben and sulphate free and make the skin feel fresh and bright. You can massage with the aloe gel daily for four to five minutes.

I Love…mango face mask: The smells reminds you of a mango candy. This peel has thick consistency and easily spreads all the over the face and after removal it moisturises the skin and makes the skin soft. The best thing is that it doesn’t dry out the skin.

I love… shimmer I Love Strawberries and Milkshake lip gloss:  I am not a gloss fan but the fragrance of this lip gloss is super tempting and it’s difficult to resist. This gloss moisturises the lips and gives a mild shimmer look. You can use it on bare lips or over the lipstick but it’s better to use over lipstick if you have dark lips.

Pros:  The best thing about the April bag is that there are three full sized product and three Just Herb samples for a complete facial clean up.

Cons: I didn’t find any cons except the gloss because personally I don’t prefer gloss.

Rating:  I would give it 4.5/5(-.5 for the gloss).
