BeTrousse 'Absolutely Fabulous' Beauty Box

BeTrousse 'Absolutely Fabulous' Beauty Box (*) - £19.00

BeTrousse boxes are starting to become my absolute favourite samples to receive - every time I receive a box I fall in love all over again! I have always loved their packages and yet again this one has not left me disappointed. Their recently released 'Absolutely Fabulous' box is filled with goodies to pamper yourself with as were getting close to Christmas. The products themselves total up to a huge £119.00, so getting all this for only £19.00 is truly amazing in my eyes. The even bigger bonus is that all of BeTrousse's products are full sized! What more could you ask for?

In the 'Absolutely Fabulous' box I received:

Duck Island Sensuous Shampoo
Organic Surge Pure & Clean Facial Wash
Spa Find Sculpting Silhouette Inchwraping Firming Gel 

Leor Facial Exfoliate Creme

Helenere Hedelweiss 24hr Cream
Helenere Hedelweiss Intensive Serum

I can't wait to try out all of these products although my Mum has her eye on the Spa Find Firming Gel, so I may have to lose that one to her. I'll be doing lots of reviews after I've tried each of them so keep your eyes pealed! Which product do you most like the look of?

You can find out more about their boxes and products over on their Facebook page.

Green Envee Organics Exfoliating Body Scrub

Green Envee Organics Exfoliating Body Scrub (*)

This was another amazing product that I was sent to a few months ago by Green Envee Organics. They are an American-based company who specialise in organic products that promote and specialise in aromatherapy, homoeopathic and spiritual products. (You can read a bit more about my goodie box here.)

I was really impressed with their Brazilian Orange and Litsea Body Wash and was already expecting a lot from their body scrub. The smell is yet again amazing, and although I'm not usually a fan of body scrubs I actually didn't mind this one At $28.00 a pop it is on the expensive side, but its all completely natural. The body scrub is said to be stress reducing, really uplifting and is actually said to reduce depression. You can read more about it here. In all fairness it is just a regular body scrub and I didn't feel like it did anything else apart from leave my skin super soft. I do think the best thing about this product is the smell, which I know I keep mentioning, but it really is amazing!

I do really like Green Envee Organics products and I have a few more to trial yet, so watch this space guys. 

Green Envee Organics Cleansing Body Wash

Green Envee Organics Cleansing Body Wash (*) - $16.00

A few months ago I was contacted by a lovely lady from Green Envee Organics, asking if I would be interested in trying out some samples. (Post here) I was so excited to try them out as I absolutely loved the little goodie box I was sent. I decided to try out the body wash first, and it was literally the smell of this that I couldn't wait for! Most of the products I received were Brazilian Orange and Litsea, and once I'd smelt the Aroma Spray I couldn't wait for the other samples.

The body wash was your standard body wash, to be frank. You got a decent amount in the sample but I'd say there was only enough in there to be used once. The best thing was that it smelt amazing, and the scent kind of clings to your skin so I was smelling it all day. Beaut in my books! At $16.00 I'd say it's a little more than I'd usually spend, but the smell really is amazing and I've not really found anything thats as yummy yet.

I'd definitely recommend if you want to treat yourself or have a little extra money to spend. I have a lot of more of these lovely samples ready and waiting, so watch this space for more Green Envee samples.

This Month's Cosmopolitan Freebies

Now if you're like me, you'll LOVE a good freebie! Cosmopolitan magazine is one of my favourites of all time, but recently I've been trying to cut down on buying as many magazines. I decided that it was about time I treated myself, so obviously reached for an old favourite. I didn't actually take any notice of the free sample for once, I think I was just so excited to actually have my first magazine in months!

After opening it and realised the little surprise, this made it even better! With this month's issue you receive a sample from Nip + Fab. This is a brand that I'd never ever heard of before, so I decided to do a cheeky google and find out some information. They basically produce products that target specific skin issues and body concerns, such as bingo wings or dry legs etc. Their products seem pretty reasonably priced too. I never realised this, but their products are actually available in shops such as Boots, Debenhams, Selfridge's and Sainsburys! How good!

The sample I received was the 'Dry Leg Fix', which is basically a moisturiser that is supposed to fix dry and flaky skin and is very intensive but hopefully leaves your legs 'silky smooth.' My legs seem to be so dry at the minute so this is definitely going to be put to the test! I feel a product review coming on guys...

Has anyone tried this or any Nip + Fab products before?

This Month I'm Trying...

I was sorting through my boxes upon boxes of samples the other day, and decided that I'm actually going to start using them from now on. I tend to just throw them into boxes and only use the ones that I really love the look of, without really giving anything else a chance. So, every month I'm going to pick a few products to try and then I'll do a review of them after. This first month is going to be dedicated to these little beauties.

I've received these samples from a range of different beauty boxes and magazines, most of which I can't really remember to be honest. I've already sampled the TRESemme Split Remedy and the Argania hair oil before, but I decided to throw them in because I do quite like them.

I've been using a few of these samples for a week or two now, so keep your eyes pealed bloggers as there will be a follow-up post on these in a few weeks. Hopefully I'll have nothing but good things to say.

Have you tried any of these before? Which would you recommend?

Latest In Beauty - Little Beauty Box

Latest In Beauty - Little Beauty Box (£1.50)

I felt like a little mysterious treat, so decided to order one of my favourite little beauty box. You all know I love this cute idea if you're looking for something to try but you don't want to break the bank. All you contribute is a mere £1.50 and you get three cute little samples to try. Sometimes I'm not really in the mood for a big box of things to trawl through, and half of the time not use. Admittedly two of these samples were surprises, but there's nothing wrong with that is there?! Even if tooth floss was a little random...

The TREsemme Split Remedy pack is one of my absolute favourites, I think I must have had about three of these from Latest In Beauty. They're perfect to save and take on holiday with you, or take them on a weekend away or something. The Split Mend & Protect Leave-in Treatment is especially one of my favourites, so my hair will definitely be getting treated to this soon. 

I'm actually going to try ALL of these three samples this time and report back to you all, so keep your eyes pealed. I'm loving anything thats like a hand / nail cream at the minute so it won't be long before that sample has been opened. 

Have you tried the Little Beauty Box before? What do you like the look of?

Green Envee Organics

Green Envee Organics (*)

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Green Envee Organics and they asked if I would be interested in trying and reviewing some of their products. I have to admit I hadn't heard of their company before, so I was very interested in learning more and obviously trying some of their products. They are an American-based company who specialise in organic products that promote and specialise in aromatherapy, homoeopathic and spiritual products.

I wanted the products to be a total surprise, so gave them free choice of what they wanted to send me... and I definitely was not disappointed! I firstly received their lovely little note to me wishing me happy birthday, which was such a nice touch. The products were packaged so nicely too, which always impresses me. I'd like to say all the products were sample sized, but with three products they went up and above, and it looks like I got full sized goodies to try - amazing!

I received all the big products in 'Brazilian Orange & Litsea' - which sounds amazing before I've even smelt/sampled them. I got sent a bar soap, body lotion and aroma mist in that, then different small sachets. These included: 'Tunisian Rosemary & Peppermint', 'French Lavender & Chamomile' and 'Indonesian Patchouli & Orange.' You have to admit, they all sound absolutely gorgeous just from reading the names!

Now for the smaller samples...I received a body scrub, body oil, body lotion and body wash, each one in a different flavour.What I loved about these is that each product comes with an information card, which fully explains the description, instructions on how to use them and finally a low-down on the ingredients. I've never seen this used with samples before and it was so handy to have and actually quite nice to read.

I can't wait to start trying out all these lovely products, as I've only had a spritz of the aroma mist yet. I know I'm going to absolutely love everything labelled 'Brazilian Orange & Litsea' - judging from the aroma mist, the scent is to DIE for! Yum! Keep your eyes pealed for more little posts about these products bloggers, I'm so excited to start trying.

BeTrousse Beauty Box 2 - Product Reviews

Fair Naturally Mango & Safflower Moisturiser - £3.99 (*)

Jason Normalising Shampoo - £7.29 (*)

Make Believe Beauty Shimmer Lip Gloss - £10.00 (*)

It has literally taken me SO long to get back into blogging with everything that I've had going on, but I'm back and ready to show you guys everything I've been up to! I literally received this BeTrousse box in April, and have just got round to writing a review of some of the products, so I apologise massively.

These are the only three products that I've had chance to try properly, and all in all I was really impressed. This is my second box and I'm just as impressed with the amazing full sized products, its literally one of my favourite every beauty boxes. I'll start by saying that the Fair Naturally Mango & Safflower Moisturiser is THE best smelling thing ever! I love the smell of Mango so this was a winner straight away, not to mention it actually leaves your skin feeling so soft. I used it while I was on holiday and was so impressed, thank god I've got a bit left to carry on using.

I was really impressed with the Jason Normalising Shampoo too. I don't usually try a huge amount of hair products, as I kind of know what works for me. I decided to brave this shampoo for a few tries and really loved it. I found that if I used too much it did make my hair feel really stiff, so just be wary on the amount you do use. When I finally got the proportions right, my hair was so shiny after and I actually got compliments from people asking if I had dyed my hair... which is always a bonus is my books!

The third product I tried out from the box was the Make Believe Beauty Shimmer Lip Gloss. I'm not a massive fan of lip gloss and I only tend to wear it on the odd occasion. This gloss was a really lovely pale pinky peach colour with a little bit of sparkle, which I have to admit I wasn't really fond of. It felt quite sticky when I applied it at first, but that soon faded and I liked it. I'm going to keep it in my bag and keep trying it, I just wish it wasn't so glittery.

Yet again BeTrousse has exceeded my expectations and I am so impressed! I actually love their boxes and I'm definitely going to catch up on the rest of the products and try them out, so watch this space bloggers!

The Body Shop // Born Lippy and Mango Beautifying Oil

Born Lippy - Strawberry * // Mango Beautifying Oil *

Last week I was contacted by a lovely lady from The Body Shop to see if I would be interested in trying a few of their products. I've loved The Body Shop for years now so obviously I said yes! I was given the option of choosing what I wanted to try, but I decided to let them surprise me... and thankfully it was a good one. I received an amazing Strawberry 'Born Lippy' lip balm and a Mango Beautifying Oil that I cannot wait to try properly.

Anything remotely strawberry flavoured from The Body Shop is to die for, so I was so happy when I received this lip balm. It smells AMAZING and I could literally eat it every time I open the pot. The Beautifying Oil doesn't really seem to have a strong smell and to be honest I've never heard of this product before, so it will hopefully be a nice new experience. The product is said to 'Moisturise, smooth and illuminate' your hair and skin, which sounds very interesting.

I'll definitely do a review of both of the products when I've had chance to try them properly, but I'm so thankful to The Body Shop for giving me the opportunity to try these lovely products.

BeTrousse 'Glitz and Glamour' Beauty Box

BeTrousse 'Glitz and Glamour' Beauty Box (*) - £10.00

Back in February I received an email from the lovely Christelle at BeTrousse to see if I would be interested in sampling one of their beauty boxes. When the box arrived I was so impressed and I absolutely loved it! (You can read my thoughts here.) A few days ago I received a mystery parcel through the post, and to my surprise it was another of their boxes! This time I received their latest 'Glitz and Glamour' box and I was so happy to have the chance to try out some more products.

Yet again I received five full sized samples ranging from moisturisers to a lip gloss. Yet again BeTrousse have amazed me with their amazing creativity with this box, not to mention the fact that all the products are full sized. That's definitely my favourite bit! The box is on sale for £10.00 instead of the combined price of £70.00, which is a massive 86% saving. I always have amazing service with this company and every time I receive another box, I seem to be even more impressed than before.

In this box I received:
Benta Berry Facial Cleanser
Make Believe Beauty Shimmer Lip Gloss
Fair Naturally Mango & Safflower Body Moisturiser
Tulecos Tonifying Oil
Jason Normalising Shampoo

As I've already said, I cannot say anything but good things about BeTrousse and I'm so thankful that they have chosen to send me another box to try. I will be doing reviews of all these products as I use them, so keep your eyes pealed bloggers.
