May Luxbox

I thought I would round up the month of May with my May Lux Box. Unfortunately it arrived quite late this month and I've not long received it. Lux Box are new and this is only their second box and teething problems are to be expected! But the customer service is outstanding! Regular updates on their Facebook page, always letting you know what's going on and email replies in my experience are within a couple of hours.


I cannot fault this company on their service. I was over the moon with my April box. (I did do a blog post of it for those of you who are interested.) So May had a lot to live up to!

1. Sensationelle Flicktips Full size £8.99- At first I thought "What are these?" as they caught my eye as soon as I opened my box. I was quite surprised to see them as it's such a different product! I don't think I would ever think to buy these so I'm really happy that I can try them out.
2. The Rosebud Perfume Co Mocha Rose Tube 30ml Full size £7.00- My box smells like this! This is a lip balm with vanilla, it smells more like coco butter to me. I really like the packaging, I think it's really different. The consistency is very thick! I don't know whether this is just mine? But it is very thick making it quite hard to apply. But the smell is heavenly! 
3. Di Palomo Hand and Nail Cream 25ml in Wild Fig and Grape this is £6.30 for 75ml- I love the smell of this, I can't stop sniffing it. It wouldn't of been a scent I would of chosen myself just by the nail, but well I'm happy! This is my favourite item out of the box. It's going in my handbag!
4. Papier Poudre- Rachel £7.20- Another interesting product to see- powdered blotting papers. I've never owned any before but a fair few of my friends use them. This is so handy to carry around with you. The powder will be a great look for the upcoming summer weather as it is a bit darker than my natural skin tone.
5. Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 30ml £34 for full size- I'm looking forward to trying this I've never tried this brand before, but this is going straight in my pile for holiday products as I think it's the perfect size to take away! Thats if I can hold of using it for about a week!

Overall I'm really happy with what I have received this month. I am staying subscribed to Lux box as I feel, for me they have the edge over other beauty boxes, they're new and I just love what I'm receiving, all these different items and different brands. Lux box is a clear winner for me

The cream with some added steam

I have never fallen in love with a cream as much as I have with this one. When I heard about it, I did really want to try it, and I was supposed to be getting it in a beauty box but for some reason or another it didn't make an appearance in mine! Then looking online I couldn't part with my £12.95 for something I wasn't sure how my skin would react to. But then luckily a pot appeared in a beauty box I received last month and I was over the moon!


After trying it out for about a month now I feel that I can write a better review on this product. I have used it everyday, putting it on my face just before I go to sleep. I have also been suffering with dry hands, so I have been using it as a hand cream also. You can use it anywhere really but this is what I have been trying out. Firstly, it smells amazing! It has a subtle scent of lavender and gosh it's lovely to put on your skin last thing at night! I find the scent really relaxing and calming. When I put the cream on my face I feel as though it sits there, but when I wake up in the morning- no trace! Not oily or anything and my skin is just amazingly soft! This is now my go to cream. I have combination skin, sometimes its dry, sometimes its oily and I do get breakouts so trying new things is not something I like doing but with this product I am having no problems.


You get a lot of product for the size of the pot as I find with this product a little does go a really long way, but you can always put more on if you feel the need to. I'm going to continue using this product as I'm really getting on with it and who knows it may be standing in line for a re-purchase! With the rate it's going at the moment I am almost certain. There are many different styles of tin you can buy and it's so hard to choose which one to get!
