Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box: December: Merry Christmas

It's always an exciting day when my Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box arrives! Inside are 6 treats including a delicious looking bar of chocolate!

I'm currently testing Guiltless Skin's Illume Moisture Serum (30ml - £26) so know already this is a fab item and great addition to the box. It's also a full size item.

KONJAC Sponge Blitzen's Nose (£6.99) is a fun but useful item. It contains oil-absorbing bamboo charcoal which will be great to use on my oily T-zone especially around my nose.

I've had a Help Me Organics Candle before which was lovely. This one - Help Me Get into the Festive Spirit (£7.50 for 75g) has a gorgeous festive scent with Fir, Clove, Ginger, Sweet Orange and Lemon in a soy wax base. I'm looking forward to burning it!

ClockFace Beauty is a new to me brand and inside is their Enhanced Recovery Body Oil Spray with Clary Sage & Geranium 30ml (£25) I've already tried this out and I adore the scent. A review will follow!

I'm a huge bar of soap fan and inside is Christmas Cwtch (£4.50) from Celtic Herbal which has a delicious cinnamon/orange scent.

The final item is an edible - delicious looking vegan Chilli Dark Chocolate from Choc Affair which is worth £2.75.

As ever, it's a well thought out and good value box. What do you think of the contents? Do you subscribe?

The Pip Box - April Edit

The Pip Box is known to me but this is my first one! I was very kindly sent the April edit* to try and review. Subscribe to this cruelty free box for £14.99 a month plus £3.35 p&p UK, or £6.95 p&p Rest of Europe). See more information HERE.

I like how the branded label seals the box (there's no excess sellotape in sight!) and that a 50p donation per box sold will be donated to the charity, Animal Free Research UK.

So what's inside:

And for a closer look..

From Balade En Provence there is an apple shaped and apple scented Vegan Hand Cream (30ml - £9.99) which is quite intriguing. The rich cream nourishes the hands and nails and leaves them smelling of apples (and the pot can be re-used for storing small items).

I've always wanted to try a The Konjac Sponge Co Body Sponge (£11.99) and inside is The Original Konjac Wave Sponge which gently exfoliates, deeply cleanses and refreshes, conditions and calms the skin. Looking forward to testing it out.

From Peony Cosmetics is their stunning Pink Glow Luminizing Stick (£16.99) which gives a rosy golden glow to cheekbones. This is really pretty and will be great for summer (and perfect with a tan).

Also inside the box is FRUU's Colour Balm (£4.99) I've got rare coral which smells of watermelons, leaves the lips with a light tint and is perfect for summer!

The final item this month is a trial size (10ml) of Weleda's Evening Primrose Body Oil (£3.99). I've not tried this scent before. It's back in the box by popular demand!

There are also money off coupons from most of the companies in the box which I think's a generous extra treat. Did you get a box this month? What are your thoughts on the contents?

Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box: Merry Christmas December Box

Now this is what a Christmas beauty box should look like! It made my heart sing and really excited me. The December boxes are now sold out but you can sign up for January now (£21 plus £3.95 p&p).

It was packaged up so beautifully too - and included two extra treats!

So what's inside:

From BRYT Skincare there is a full size Night Cream (£18.50 - 50ml) and a sample sachet of their Day Moisturiser. This is a brand which is known to me but I've never tried any of the products (excited).

This is only my 2nd try from Siskyn Skincare and I'm looking forward to testing out their Grapefruit & Sweet Fennel Toning Body Oil (£9 - 30ml) which smells mouthwatering! 

From well loved bodhi & birch there is a 50ml travel size of their Ylang-Ylang Incensa Sensual Bath & Shower Therapy (£5.50). See my review HERE.

I recently tried NARLOA and can tell you that their Mandarin Cleansing Oil (£12.50 - 50ml) is gorgeous. See my review HERE.

The final items is a mini Rudolph's Nose Pore Refiner from The Konjac Sponge Company (£6.99) which is a cute little Christmas edition.

And we also received some fabby extras..

From Lilian Jones a gorgeous cinnamon swirl tealight candle which smells divine and from Truffle Pig, a handmade dark chocolate orange, raspberry and rose chocolate bar.

Thanks so much Paula for a wonderful Christmas subscription box!
