AMARYA - THE NATURAL AND ORGANIC BEAUTY BOX

Hi everyone!

I am very excited to share the contents of my first Amarya beauty box* with you. It is a natural and organic subscription box, perfect for those who care about ingredients and the environment.

What is AMARYA BEAUTY BOX?

It's a monthly beauty box with natural and organic products delivered to your door for just £10 a month with no additional p&p charges unlike other beauty boxes. You can either subscribe monthly for £10 a month or pay for a yearly subscription and receive a welcome gift worth £56 + 120 Amarya points=£12. If I had £120 spare I would subscribe right now to get the benefits of the yearly subscription. They also run a referral programme and if you refer a friend, both of you will get a free Amarya box. With other boxes you need to collect points and it's never enough to get a free box.

Every month you will receive one or more full sized products worth at least £20, samples and trial sizes and an exclusive offer for beauty box subscribers. The idea of the box is simple- With so many different Organic and Natural beauty products on the market it can feel daunting to try out different ranges. Amarya’s Beauty Box is a fun and cost effective way to experience a wonderful range of products every month!

The box I received is the December edition. I checked online what was included in previous boxes and I was pleasantly surprised, as every month the contents were amazing and well worth the £10 price tag. Here is what I received in my box:

1.REN gift set- 2 full sized products worth £28. Neroli and Grapefruit duo contains a 200ml reviving body wash and a fresh and richly hydrating body cream (also 200ml) Both products smell amazing and leave your skin perfectly clean, fresh, moisturised and silky smooth. Presented in beautiful packaging would make a lovely gift.

2.Dr. Hauschka cleansing cream- this little cream is great for deep cleansing and an alternative to face scrubs that irritate and damage your skin. You simply mix the Cleansing Cream with water in the palm of your hand and it turns into a smooth paste. 

3. Acorelle Eau de Perfum - Rose - organic perfume that smells absolutely amazing! 

4. A lovely Amarya canvas bag- I will definitely use it when I am out and about :)

Overlal, I am very impressed with my Amarya box and I would definitely recommend it.

GLOSSYBOX REVIEW- FEBRUARY 2012

This is the first time I received my Glossybox in the original powder pink packaging. Two previous ones were special editions in red and hot pink, so I have a nice little collection now :) 

Here is what I received this month:

1.DuWop Venom Gloss- combination of subtle tinted lip gloss with DuWop's Lip Venom- tingly gloss that gives you fuller bee stung lips. AMAZING STUFF!!! This is definitely my favourite from this month's box. I have got naturally big lips and I was in shock how big they were after using this magic lipgloss :) Highly recommended for anybody who wants fuller, sexier lips in a second!

2.Dr Bronner Magic Liquid Soap- a combination of organic extra virgin coconut, olive, jojoba and hemp oils, together with pure essential oils. The peppermint essential oil tingles the body and clears the mind. Because therapeutically peppermint oil is a mild stimulant it increases vitality and clarity. 

I am not sure what I will use it for, probably to clear my airways before bedtime :)

3.Paul Mitchell Superskinny Relaxing Balm-intense hydrating treatment for your hair- very nice smell and consistency, left my hair nice and soft.

4.BM Beauty Pure Mineral Eyeshadow-  cruelty free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. very nice earthy colour, used with a primer the colour is very intense and long lasting.

5.Como Shambhala  Invigorate Body Lotion- a revitalising blend of essential oils that puts you in a perfectly uplifted mood- It smells absolutely amazing, absorbs quickly leaving skin soft and hydrated.

Duwop venom Gloss- full size £16/10.4ml

BM beauty pure mineral eyeshadow- full size £7.00/2g

Como Shambhala Invigorate Body lotion- full size £20.00/300ml

Dr Bronner Magic Liquid Soap- full size £5.49/236ml

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm- full size £15.25/200ml

FLORAL KIMONO - NOTD- NEON TIGER PRINT AND... GIVEAWAY WINNER ANNOUNCED

Believe it or not, but I managed to find this gorgeous piece for £4.99 from H&M!!!

It was also available in black , but it sold out quickly and I didn't get a chance to order one.

Would you wear a kimono? Or just like my husband, you consider it a bedroom garment?  ♥

I wore it with a black skirt.

I like neon colours and I decided to wear neon orange tights and I painted my nails with neon orange  tiger print :)

I used:
Models Own Neon Sorbet Nail Polish as a base
black MUA polish for the print with Konad plate M57
and a glossy top coat from Bourjois

The winner of my last H&M and Rimmel giveaway is...

I will contact the winner via email today x

LEOPARD PRINT- BLACK AND GOLD- WITH KONAD

I don't want my blog to turn into a nail blog :) but I just love sharing my latest nail polish purchases and creations with you :)

Today I went for black and gold leopard print look.

All products used, are on the last picture. I love my Konad stamping kit and I ordered more plates with different designs. They are so easy to use, and you can create so many looks with just one plate and many colour combinations.

I ♥ MAKING BATH BOMBS

I love bath bombs, and I used to be addicted to Lush ones, but... I figured that it will be cheaper and more fun to make them myself. I bought all the ingredients and "equipment"  to make them and here is the final effect. I will try to add a tutorial in the future.

The fresh ones I photographed, are scented with vanilla and lemon grass and decorated with rose petals :)

In a wicker basket, with cute tissue paper and ribbons they make a great gift x
