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?
