Amarya Review - November


I received my November Amarya Beauty Box yesterday.  After a disappointing box last month I was pleased with what was included this month.

Essential Care Creamy Coconut Cleanser 30ml - which retails at £6.00.  I'm happy to try this as I love the Rose Moisturiser (2 x 1.5ml sachets included in this box).  I received a sachet sample of this in my February Amarya box.  I also reviewed it here.  A 15ml size also came in May's Joliebox.  The cleanser is suitable for normal, dry and sensitive skins.  I am more combination but I'll still test it out.  It is more herbal smelling than I expected.

Cowshed Cow Pat Hand Cream 50ml with Grapefruit and Coriander essential oils. I picked one of these up recently with Easy Living Magazine and its worth £8.  I am enjoying using this moisturising and deliciously scented hand cream so I'll stash this one to use later.

Weleda Lavender Creamy Body Wash 20ml - really rate Weleda and happy to try this out.  I especially love using lavender scented products before bed.

Essential Care Rose Moisturiser - 2 x 1.5ml sachets - as you can see from my comments above I already love this multi-purpose product - you can also use it as an eye cream.  Happy to put these in my travel bag.

Weleda Skin Food 1.5ml sachet - a cult product I've not tried yet!  Great for dry areas of skin over the body like elbows, knees and feet.

Weleda Pomegranate Body Lotion 4ml sachet - a lightweight body lotion.  Small sachet but I guess I'll know if I like texture/scent.

Did you get the box, what are your thoughts?

p.s. Friday's makes, bakes and learns to follow later today!

  4. This box looks fantastic! I unsubscribed from Amarya over the Summer but I really wish I hadn't as I'm a massive Weleda fan and the Essentials products that I've tried have been lovely! x

  5. I'm really happy with the box this month and for me Amarya is still the best/most consistent box I subscribe to. And to be honest I think a lot of the fuss last month was because all us beauty types were a bit jaded and meh about Balance Me because they've been done to death in other boxes and magazines, which wasn't really Amarya's fault or even much of a reflection on the products themselves. I do think it's interesting how the image of Balance Me and nails inc have been somewhat cheapened by too many cover mounts....

    1. Definitely agree Amarya most consistent box and generally I love every one. I do love Balance me products but agree they've been a bit overdone. x

  7. I really liked this one, I already love skinfood and the body lotion and body wash, I will use everything except the hand cream which I am not fussed on at all and am going to give as an xmas pressie. The coconut cleanser has been on my wishlist for a while.
