 My June 2014 SoukSouk Little Green Beauty Box has arrived and I was looking forward to seeing what this month had in store judging by last month my expectations were high! As soon as I opened the box it looked kind of special. All new brands this month too and a little bit of magic!

“SoukSouk” are a green beauty box company with a mission to help their customers to greenify their beauty regimes, one beauty box at a time! They have various subscription packages and also do a bespoke beauty box and a limited edition box. They really do have something for everyone’s likes and needs. The Box also includes a magazine which has lots of useful articles and facts.

“Scouting out the best, the new, the small and the niche in natural and organic beauty”

The box included 4 good sized samples and 1 full sized product. The box mainly consisted of  Skincare, body and hair products this month.

1.   MEL Mellis Organic Neroli Hydrolate Mist Tonic – Travel Size 10ml £5.00 RRP £15.00 for 30ml

Mel Millis is a British brand who works in harmony with nature and it’s science to create the most effective skincare containing the purest, freshest, nutrient rich ingredients, painstakingly selected for their individual qualities and exceptional proven benefits that deliver effective, long last results.

This is an Organic Neroli Mist tonic and is a pure hydrolate  which is extracted during the distillation process of this essential oil. Along With The Rose, Neroli Is One Of The Hydrolates Originating In The 10th Century.  Neroli Has Both A Rejuvenating And Regenerative Effect On The Skin. It promotes the generation of new cells, stimulating those already present and protects the Epidermis from extrinsic factors too.
This can be used on all skin types from sensitive to oily which is great and is used after the cleansing process to aid the rebalancing of the PH levels in our skin.This tonic helps flush toxins out removing impurities which in turn keeps the skin feeling hydrated, plump and smooth. This can also be spritzed throughout the day for a quick refresh.
Sounds wonderful doesn’t it. The scent is quite pleasant too. Defiantly one for the handbag especially now the weather is slowly warming up.
There is something very magical about the packaging this came in…There are wild flower seeds contained in the box material. You simply tear up and plant into a pot! Such a lovely concept.

2.    MEL Mellis Organic Phytonutri Neroli & Baobab Re-energising Face oil –  Travel Size 10ml £7.00 RRP £35.00 for 50ml

Another product from the same brand above.

This is face oil for mature, lack lustre skin. Containing a highly effective combination of pumpkin, baobab and rosehip Oils, infused with the precious oils of Neroli and immortelle, Along with seabuckthorn CO2 plant extract, with Its powerful concentration of phytonutrients. The Proven Regenerative Properties of the Oils strengthen cells by stimulating the circulation of the Lymphatic fluid which reducess puffiness and promotes Collagen production.

This is for mature skin and I don’t think my skin is quite there just yet!

A good product but not one for me I’m afraid.

3.    Yours Truly Organics Fix Me Repairing Serum – Full Size 30ml  RRP £28.00

A completely new brand for me again – Oh I do love you SoukSouk! This is a british brand.

This is a repairing serum which smooths, repairs and tightens your skin with an oat kernel enriched serum. Reduces inflammation caused by blemishes with sesame seed extract and saw palmetto.

I use to be quite sceptical about face oils until I recently got introduced to one specifically for combination/oily skin from a brand in a previous SoukSouk box mainly because of the oily texture however my perception has some what changed recently.

I spot that this can be used for blemishes – a winner for me and this full size bottle will last for ages.

If you want to try out their products they do a sample set for £5.00 which consists of:

Take it away! Gel Cleanser 5ml
Balancing Toner 5ml
Fix Me! Repairing serum 5ml
Face Base Face Balm 5ml

A great little starter kit and is available here

4.     FoM Antioxidant Facial Mask – Sample Size 5g. Full Size 50g RRP £18.00

FoM stands for Freshness of the Morning. They provide luxurious, natural, non toxic, active and rejuvenating skincare products. Their range of products is a result of many years of research and development bringing you the most effective natural skincare. This is also a British Brand.

This is a 100% Natural  Detoxifying and Toning mask that also provides a gentle exfoliation and contains a pure herbal blend for a clearer, younger and brighter complexion visible after just first application.

The deep detoxifying and exfoliating formula clarifies and absorbs impurities; reducing pore size to reveal smooth, bright, glowing skin. Suitable for Normal, Combination and Oily Skin/Acne prone skin. This mask is in a powder form and therefore you just need to add water which is great for less wastage.

This sounds great and the sample size will give me a few applications. Will definitely give this a go over the weekend.

5.  FoM Revitalising Hair Serum – Sample Size 10ml  RRP £4.50

This highly concentrated serum contains jojoba, buritti, manketti and passionflower oils to treat and regenerate the hair. You simple warm two drops in your hands and massage into the ends of damp hair or alternatively this can be massaged into the scalp for a more deep moisturing treatment.

This smells divine and I will be keeping this for when my hair extension finally come out at the end of this month. My hair definitely deserves some extra loving.

My Verdict

Another great box from SoukSouk and I am very happy and content with the products provided this month. I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing all of the products but most of all I enjoyed discovering these new brands which were all British Brands. Their magazine was also a good read and very informative as per usual. I certainly know what I will be spritzing on my skin this summer! Thank you SoukSouk for the fact sheet!

The box included 4 good sized samples and 1 full sized product. The box mainly consisted of  Skincare, body and hair products this month. I have certainly made some new discoveries and welcomed the brands chosen however I would of liked to have seen more of a mix in the products maybe some makeup and bath products.

This is slightly more expensive than the other  boxes (only by another pound or so) but it is totally worth spending the extra. The quality and selection of the products are great also. You can certainly see that alot of thought goes into their product selections each month.

Overall, this is a great box this month for all you skincare lovers and if you want to discover natural and organic brands this is the box for you.

The contents within this month’s box is worth an amazing £44.50 and beats the price of the box.

I’m looking forward to July’s Box.
