abeautifulbox S/S Sampler 2014

May 12, 2014 · In: Uncategorised

abeautifulboxss14-2-2-png-1263680

Since I got the very first abeautifulbox when it was created last year, I’ve been eagerly awaiting each new limited edition beauty box, which is released twice a year from online natural beauty store abeautifulworld. Each box contains a selection of abeautifulworld’s best organic and natural beauty products in various sizes, from samples, to mini/travel size, to full sized products. As I always do with photos of this beauty box, I couldn’t resist giving the bag a smiley face again – it just makes me happy!

When this year’s spring/summer box was released on Thursday, I was away on holiday in Portugal with limited internet access. By the time I managed to log on at around 8am to buy the box it was already sold out! I was devastated to have missed out, but I came home from holiday to the loveliest surprise from abeautifulworld’s founder Liz, who very kindly sent me a spare box left over from someone who had accidentally ordered an extra. So a huge thank you goes out to Liz for the generous gift!

There’s a great selection of brands included as always! Inside the bright pink box:

  • MuLondon White Chocolate Elbow, Knee & Heel Cream full size
  • I’ve previously had a half sized travel tub from last year’s box and loved it (reviewed here), so I’m really happy to have the full size now!

  • Bee Yummy Skin Food sample
  • Products derived from bees seem to be getting very popular lately. I wouldn’t have picked this to try myself, but will give it a go!

  • Chocolate Sun Cocoa Glow trial size
  • I’ve only tried fake tan a couple of times, one of which was the Cocoa Lite last year. Interested to see how this one compares – I think it’s the darker version.

  • Dahliana Overnight Fruit Lift Créme trial size
  • Again this is another sample I’ve tried before from last year’s box. I’m really glad I got this instead of the Bee Venom products by Nauture’s Beauty that some people received in their boxes (bee venom just does not appeal to me at all)!

  • The Body Deli Firming Flax Eye Cream mini
  • Every product from The Body Deli I’ve tried so far I’ve loved, so I’m really looking forward to trying out this eye cream, especially as my Indie Lee Eye Balm has recently expired.

  • Marble & Milkweed Spring Tonic Serum sample and Rose & Chamomile White Tea
  • It’s great to try more from this brand as I’ve enjoyed samples of Marble & Milkweed products before. I’m not very adventurous with teas though so that might be passed on to someone else.

  • Naisture Collagen Paper Face Mask and a Tili Bag
  • I have a big stash of both of these products! They’re both great and I especially love Tili Bags for travelling so I’m happy to add another to my collection!

    Yet again another fantastic box from abeautifulworld, despite the fact I’ve tried all of the brands before (bar one)! This limited edition box costs £20* which is great value considering what you get inside – the MuLondon cream alone is worth £19! If you want to get your hands on the next box, out in October, you can sign up to the waitlist here to be notified when it becomes available!

    Did you manage to order this beauty box before it sold out? What do you think of the contents?

    One last makeup fave to end 2021! 100% PURE Fruit One last makeup fave to end 2021! 100% PURE Fruit Pigmented Ultra Lengthening Mascara 🌿

My favourite new encounter this year has been with one of the most well-known mascaras in clean and natural beauty from @100percentpure 

I have no idea why I took me so long to try this one, it’s now firmly in my top 5 for natural mascaras! 

If you’re after extra length for your lashes, this mascara absolutely delivers. It also smells like berries, lasts all day and holds a curl too 🙌

Head over to the blog at naturiabeauty.com for my full review and swatches (link in profile)

Of course we couldn’t go without mentioning my all-time fave makeup brand @inikaorganic 😍 I’ve used and loved their products for years now and lost count of the number of repurchases of the mineral foundation in particular! Pictured here are the lipstick, lipstick crayon and mineral blush puff pot.

    Captain Blankenship Mermaid Dry Shampoo 🌊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I briefly mentioned this one the other day, but it deserves it’s own post as one of my favourites this year! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dry shampoo is a life-saver on those days where your hair is starting to look a little greasy, but you don’t have the time for washing it. Let’s be honest, I’m going to have even less time for that dreaded hair-wash day come January with a newborn 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve tried a fair few naturally formulated dry shampoos over the years and @captainblankenship Mermaid Dry Shampoo is one of the best! I really love the uplifting scent of rose geranium and palmarosa that lingers throughout the day too.

It’s one of those more unique products as it changes through 3 different textures so it’s ideal to highlight for #texturetuesday too!

It starts off as a gel which then melts into oil on the skin. Then when you add warm water it emulsifies into a creamy milk consistency (swipe to see)!

It’s the loveliest luxurious and relaxing product to use as it smells amazing and leaves the skin super soft too 😊️

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before how mascara is one of my favourite types of makeup product! @100percentpure Fruit Pigmented Ultra Lengthening Mascara is easily in my top 5 “clean” mascaras!
