Natural Wellness Box: Comfort Collection

Happy New Year to all my readers. This year I'm going to be doing operation use-up as I've got tons of products in my stash and really need to buy nowt! I'm sure I'll be swayed by a few things however! The only paid subscription box I'm keeping is my Balneaves Monthly Subscription Box. I'll be shopping my stash more and enjoying what I have. I'm also planning on posting less - but there will always be at least 3 or 4 blog posts a week.

My first review of the month (and year) is of November's Natural Wellness Box entitled "Comfort Collection" which I received from my mum and dad at Christmas. When the box arrived I must admit I did have a quick peek (and liked what I saw) before wrapping it up and putting it away until Christmas. (founder & curator, Catherine gives two reveals each box - the next box is this month if you're interested).

The box is available on a rolling bi-monthly basis and this costs £38, a six month (3 boxes - £109), a twelve month subscription - (six boxes - £218), or a one off box (which I chose) costs £42). See more info HERE. 

Inside are a variety of different items - food, wellness, home scent and beauty. I must admit I was swayed by the two reveals but found I loved everything in the box when it arrived.

From Farryn Amber is their Superfruit Face Milk 50ml (£29.50) which is fantastic. It had actually been on my wishlist. It's perfect for stressed and combo skin types. Hand blended with skin loving plant oils, natural minerals and rose quartz crystals it'll brighten, detoxify and soothe. Expect a review when I've had the chance to try it out properly but so far my skin's loving it.

fais botanicals is a fairly new to me brand (I loved their Kiss It Lip & Skin Balm which I received in my September Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box - see my review HERE). Nourish It Scented Soy Candle smells glorious (Ylang Ylang + Bergamot) and costs £18 for 180ml, I'm so looking forward to lighting it, and again a review will come!

I've heard of Life Armour but haven't (until now) tried anything from their wellness range. Inside the box is their Drops of Immunity (£22) which help to support your immune system (perfect for COVID-19 times!) Again, a review will follow when I've had the chance to try them out.

From Nourish Skincare is a 15ml pot of their Anti-Oxidant Multi-Tasking Super Balm (£12) which I've had the pleasure of trying before. It can be used as a cleanser, a moisturiser or a treatment mask. I've also used it on hands and cuticles and flyaways. 

From new-to-me LBB Skin is one of their single use Take Off - Touch Down XL Face & Body Cleansing Cloths which are perfect for travel and holidays. Use when you are unable to get to the sink to clean, refresh and revive the skin and body - it'd also be perfect for the work to night out routine. I'll share my thoughts in an empties post.

Rounding up the box are two sweet treats - Popcorn Shed's award winning Butterscotch Vegan Gourmet Popcorn (£4) which has a rich, sweet and buttery flavour and Cocoba 53% Dark Chocolate Hot Chocolate Spoon (£2.75) which creates an indulgent luxury hot drink.

Did you get November's box? If so, did you love it too?

fais botanicals Kiss It Lip & Skin Balm

This fais botanicals Kiss It Lip & Skin Balm in Lavender & Chamomile came in my Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box in September. The theme for the box was Sunset (see HERE). The balm costs £8.50 for 15g and is presented in a cute reusable/recyclable gold tin.

fais botanicals is a totally new-to-me brand - I always find new to me brands inside my Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box. As you'll know, I love a multi-purpose product and you can use Kiss it on lips, dry skin patches, as a sleep balm and I've even used it for flyaways and cuticles. The scent is glorious - sweet and floral and the balm nurturing, moisturising and soothing.

Formulated with vegan waxes, coconut, watermelon seed and sweet almond oil along with shea butter and essential oils of lavender and chamomile. The balm instantly melts onto warm skin leaving it nourished and content!

What are your favourites from the brand? What should I try next? 

Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box: Sunset: September 2020

My Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box arrived the other day and it's absolutely fantastic! This month the theme is "Sunset" and inside are five products - one I've tried before, two brand new-to-me brands and two known to me brands but I've not tried the products in the box. How exciting!

WOW! The first item to jump out at me is Organic Works, a new-to-me brand. Inside is their Lavender Shower Gel (300ml - £12). It has a rich lather and feels silky on the skin with a gentle lavender aroma. I absolutely love it! A full review to come.

The second new-to-me brand (although I follow them on socials) is Fais Botanicals and inside is their cute Kiss It Lavender & Chamomile Lip & Skin Balm (15g - £8.50) which is great for lips, cuticles and dry patches. Again review to come.

I discovered Help Me Organics via my Skin Organics Clean Box and inside is their "it's way past my bedtime" candle (150g - £12) which smells glorious. I've been lighting candles again so this is great coming into autumn and for a restful night's sleep. A lovely addition to the box.

From Ezape Naturals is their latest launch (though they've been out a while now!) Lavender & Chamomile Bath Salts (250ml - £17). I adore bath salts so I'm looking forward to trying these.

Rounding up the box is a product I've tried before - NUORI's Vital Eye Cream (3ml - £11.95) which I loved.

It's a great box for me - I absolutely love it! Are you a subscriber? What are your thoughts?
