I am finally getting around to writing this review! There were a few issues this month, as my details didn't update on the system in time meaning the box was originally sent to my old address. However the great customer service meant this was quickly rectified and my box arrived at my new address in one piece!
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 March was 'The Spring Revival Collection' and I managed to avoid any spoilers, so I was in for a real surprise!
First up, a brand I have tried before and loved- Grums HA and Peptide Complex Under Eye Serum (RRP £30). Revive fatigued eyes with this new advanced under eye serum, expertly crafted to address common signs of aging around the eye area. Specifically targeting crows feet, wrinkles, bags, puffiness and dark circles.
Eye cream is becoming more of an essential for me as I am getting older and especially as I work in front of a screen all day- fatigue is my middle name! I love that it has a dropper style applicator, as I am guilty of using too much product at times so I feel this will help me be more accurate. I look forward to trying this when my current eye cream runs out.
Next up is another brand I have been introduced to through this box- Paul Yacomine Parfum de Coiffeur Rose (RRP £30). A revitalising natural aroma of Rose Otto essential oils. Fresh floral notes, romantic and delicate, this oil based perfume radiates it's scent and shimmers with the natural flow of hair.
I have to admit that rose scented items are not my favourite (blame hayfever!) but this is really delicate and subtle. I wore it to meet friends recently and they all commented on how nice it smelled.
Third was a new brand for me- Pit Putty Lemongrass and Tea Tree Deodorant (RRP £2.99). With anti-inflammatory properties, you can refresh and energise your skin making this zesty scent perfect for everyday use.
This really does smell amazing and I love it's compact size too, perfect for holidays and day trips. Deodorant is of course a daily essential and I am always happy to discover new brands and formulations. I will be trying this over the next few weeks!
Next up was Banks Lyon Secret Salt Society Bergamot, Pomegranate and Orange Mineral Bath Infusion (RRP £4). A great, 100% natural alternative to bath bombs with no mess. Wonderfully unique for that spa experience at home, with a fresh fruity aroma.
I don't have a bath at my new place either and so I have passed this on to my mum to use- that is the beauty of items like this- they can be gifted if you won't use them yourself!
There was an extra item in my box that wasn't listed on the product card, which I believe was added as an apology for the mix up with delivery addresses. Flora and Curl African Citrus Bloom Superfruit Detangling Mist (RRP £16). This is infused with Argan, Sweet Orange, Bamboo Leaf Extract and Clementine Water to detangle, smooth, reduce frizz and add shine to your hair. Plus it smells amazing!
This was featured last May and I absolutely loved it- it is a miracle worker! Even though my hair is wavy rather than curl, this still works wonders and helps my comb glide through even the most stubborn of knots. It does smell amazing too! I am so pleased to have another as I was gutted when my last one ran out.
So another amazing mix of products! The total value of the items this month is a staggering £67! Such an incredible saving!
There are a few different ways you can purchase or subscribe to this box:

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 April edit- hopefully some treats for the arrival of spring!
