It is that time again! For those of you who are unfamiliar (where have you been?!), the Natural Beauty Box are a monthly subscription service featuring only natural, cruelty free products that are often also vegan and organic. I have been getting this box for 5 years now and in that time, I have not once been disappointed.
As is the standard now, I unboxed this on my YouTube channel, which you can catch here:
The theme for April was 'Silky Soft' and I managed to avoid all but one spoiler, so I was in for a real surprise!
First up, a brand I know and love, and who I have worked with before, Gaia Skincare Facial Toner (RRP £24). A natural and delicate hydrating toner to refresh and balance the skin after cleansing. With soothing Rose and Geranium to tone the skin in preparation for moisturising. This has such a subtle and delicate scent to it, feels so lovely on the skin and the bottle is huge too. I love the frosted glass design. A great addition to my everyday essentials.
Next is a brand I was recently introduced to thanks to this box- Authentic House Organic Cotton Makeup Pads- set of 4 (RRP £4). Handmade in Cardiff, these pads are a soft, gentle alternative to disposable cotton pads to use in your daily skincare routine. They help remove makeup, cleanse or apply toner- such as the one included in this box! I love these, I already have a set that I bought elsewhere but they are looking a little tired so these will be a great replacement. They're also a great money saver, as you can reuse them. The design is eye catching and they are perfect for slipping into your bag for day trips and holidays too.
Another brand I know and love is the next one, although this is a new product for me from their collection. Sintra Naturals Silk and Shine Vegan Conditioner Bar (RRP £8). Made with moisturising light weight Mango Butter to tame frizz and prevent drying out, without being too heavy on the hair. Added rice protein and pro vitamin B5 strengthens the hair and prevents breakage. I have to say, I am very hit and miss with shampoo and conditioner bars as it appears I have very fussy hair. However, this smells beautiful and is huge, so I am really hoping this is the holy grail for me. Time will tell!
Finally, we have a new brand for me- Ametrine Skin Uplifting Whipped Mango Body Butter (RRP £8). The ultimate solution for silky soft, smooth and moisturised skin with uplifting Lemongrass and Sandalwood. This smells incredible- it's like spring in a jar! The whipped texture is an absolute dream to apply, as it sinks into the skin with no stickiness or greasiness, leaving it soft and delicately scented.
So another amazing mix of products! The total value of the items this month is a staggering £44! Such an incredible saving!
There are a few different ways you can purchase or subscribe to this box:
Monthly rolling subscription- £24.95
3 month prepay- £71.10
6 month prepay- £138.00
One off box- £25.95
Bimonthly- £24.95 every 2 months
Plastic free quarterly- £24.95 every quarter
They also do 'Lucky Dip' boxes on their website which contain 3 products from past boxes so you can get a taster for the service- this is priced at £12.95. For a limited time (at least, initially!), there are also Pick n Mix boxes available where you can choose either 3 items for £15 or 4 items for £20 from a selection menu. All of the above options include delivery.
I have said this so many times but I will say it again- this box is my absolute favourite and it never lets me down. It is not often that you can subscribe to a box for 5 years and not have a single 'dud' box or a repeat item but Emma, who is the woman behind this box, always manages to blow me away every month with new brand discoveries and some new products from old faithful brands I already know and love. I'm already excited for next months offering! Emma is also a lovely lady who puts so much heart and soul into every box- you can really feel the passion when you unbox it and it is testament to her passion that she absolutely smashes it every month! This box certainly deserves all the success and I cannot wait to see what delights await me in the May edit- hopefully some treats for the arrival of spring!
