This box is has been specially curated and is bursting with gorgeous natural and exquisite goodies. Say hello to the The Beauty Bible Loves Box
Latest in Beauty, known for their exceptional collection of themed beauty boxes offer something for everyone’s likes and needs. These are one off purchases and no subscription is required. There’s no hidden surprises and you are fully informed as to what’s included inside the box. Once you’ve had a taster of these beauty boxes you will soon be eagerly awaiting for the next box to be released.
This box features a great line up of natural and organic brands and covers all aspects of beauty.
1. Dr Organic Dead Sea Mineral Bio-Plasma Mud Mask – Full Size 100ml RRP £7.99
Dead Sea Minerals are commonly used in cosmetics to create and promote healthy skin regeneration, elasticity and permeability of the skin and therefore can be very effective in treating skin wrinkles and other problems caused by the aging process.Thanks to the high content of sulphur, they can be very useful in cleansing and removing impurities from the skin.
This mask has a great thick consistency and applies really well. I left this on for around 10 minutes and once removed left my skin revitalised and squeaky clean. It’s also kind to your skin using only bioactive, natural and organic ingredients.
This is a full sized product and will last a good few applications.
2. Crabtree & Evelyn Verbena and Lavender Ultra Moisturising Hand Cream – Full Size 25g RRP £5.00
I do love a good nourishing hand cream and was happy to see this inside the box as this brand certainly delivers.
Crabtree and Evelyn make the most indulgent hand creams which are rich, moisturising and smell absolutely divine.
You can pick up the uplifting zesty notes straight away with a subtle hint of Lavender. This non greasy formula sinks straight into the skin giving you soft, silky hands.
It comes in a handy travel sized tube which is great for keeping in your handbag.
3. Rituals Miracle Scrub Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba Ultra Softening Hand Scrub – Full Size 75ml RRP £11.50
Our hands are one of the most exposed areas of our body which we constantly use and it’s probably the one area you wouldn’t even consider exfoliating.
The Rituals Miracle Scrub is enriched with nourishing oils that are easily absorbed by the skin to restore suppleness and moisture balance.
This creamy scrub is quite gritty but isn’t abrasive on your skin and you can really feel the oils working into your skin. The scent of this scrub is just amazing and once washed off feels like you’ve had a luxurious hand treatment at the Spa. A lovely pampering treat for the hands in the comfort of your own home.
4. Bellapierre Volumizing Mascara in Black – Full Size 9ml RRP £19.99
Mascara is a firm favourite of mine and a staple in my make-up bag. it plays a vital role in achieving my everyday make up look.
Bellapierre’s Volumizing Mascara is packaged in a slim rectangular tube embossed with the Bellapierre initials on the lid which makes it feel like a high-end product. This is the first eye make-up item I have tried from a natural, mineral based brand and they appear to be quite famous for their loose powders and mineral eyeshadows.
The wand is the ideal size and coats each lash individually. The formula is paraben-free, and mineral based. The black intensity of the formula is really good however I found this mascara to be of a thin consistency making the overall result quite subtle. It’s perfect for those looking for a more natural mascara.
5. Essential Care Creamy Coconut Cleanser – Full Size 30ml RRP £7.00
This coconut cleanser has a synergistic blend of dynamic plant oils to lift away make-up, skin impurities and airborne dirt and includes ingredients such as coconut, olive oil and essential oils that have excellent cleansing properties. Ideal for normal to dry or mature skin, the cleanser can be removed with damp cotton pads or rinsed away leaving the skin thoroughly clean, smooth and refreshed.
I assumed that this would of been heavily scented with coconut but it’s not at all. It’s pleasantly fragranced which isn’t overpowering.
I’ve not tried this on my face as my skin’s recovering from a breakout instead I used this as a make up remover on my eyes to remove the Bellapierre Mascara which I reviewed earlier. I simply put a little of the cleanser on a cotton wool pad and applied to the lashes. This worked incredibly well and removed all traces of the mascara probably better then some eye make-up removers I have used!
For an all round cleansing regime this would be perfectly suited for normal and dry skin types.
6. John Masters Organics Shampoo and Conditioner – Sample Sizes 30ml each. Full Size 237ml RRP £16.00
The John Masters Organics Lavender Rosemary Shampoo combines organic essential oils with organic herbal extracts to gently cleanse and keep’s hair in perfect balance. This is gentle enough to use as an everyday shampoo and smells great too. This shampoo has also been voted best haircare product in the ethical living awards in 2010.
I also received a detangler sample in citrus and neroli which is lightweight and can be used as an leave in conditioner. During the summer my hair tends to get very dry not to mention the damage of the heat styling tools i use on a daily basis! This should give my hair the extra TLC it needs.
If you want to try this brand they do a a great little sampler set for around £9.99 which includes the Lavender Rosemary Shampoo, the Citrus & Neroli Detangler, the Blood Orange & Vanilla Body Wash and the Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Milk.
7. PitRok Crystal Deodorant Wipes – 20 Wipes RRP £2.49
My perception of deodorant wipes is that their merely quick fixes and barely ever last compared to a spray or roll-on from past experiences. Things have obviously moved on from then…Hello PitRok!
The PitRok Deodorant wipes contain pure natural mineral salts that are kind to your skin and provide instant refreshment and protection. Formulated with extracts of Aloe Vera and Grapefruit seed leaving your skin feeling fresh and revitalised.
These are quite moist and are pleasantly scented. Surprisingly they are really refreshing when applied and great for the warmer weather when you need a top up. I’ve not needed to use another wipe and it’s been a good few hours since I applied.
Being slightly dubious about these initially, I love that these keep you fresh and take care of your skin at the same time. This handy pack which contains 20 wipes can easily be popped into your bag.
8. Merumaya Melting Cleansing Balm – Sachet Sample 2ml
Maleka Dattu, founder of Merumaya has created an evolutionary range of evidence based skincare designed to help prevent, while reducing existing signs of skin ageing; similar in concept only, to Integrative Health.
The signature double cleanse method removes make up and grime first and on the second use cleans your skin.
The 2ml sachet sample will give you a couple of applications for a taster. Will definitely give this a go once my skin has improved.
