all about beauty box january. late release

hello everyone its time again for my all about beauty box ,by select company .this month we are visiting
                                                           Italy.
I'm currently really enjoying the trip round the world,each month a new country.from the comfort of the sofa  ,and less money than travelling.
a box costs £15 and with the new payment method its even quicker and easier ,you can pay with a rolling monthly,or 3/6/12 month your choice.
link here http://www.allaboutbeauty.co.uk/box/index.php

so after a few emails i found out why  we hadn't received our boxes to find out many never received,and I'm truly gutted as i was dying to try products from Denmark but here is the email if you to are still waiting for your box.

An email was sent out to everyone explaining that a consignment of boxes was being returned to us as they apparently suffered flood damage, when we were informed of this we did not have, and still do not have the exact details of this particular consignment so alternative products have been sent to everyone and those whose products were damaged would then receive replacement products.

I know this has taken some time but we have been trying to make sure that there were no duplicate of products sent out and to ensure where possible that everyone received products which would be new to them, I am sure you can appreciate that this has been a very arduous task but thankfully the final 53 boxes have been collected this morning.

so here's the box of goodies all smell good,i will know explain the products .

so first up i received  Dr lauranne.perfect range. white day.moisturiser day cream.
a UV resistant cream,50ml .

next up from drlauranne, the moon life range. beauty eye gel, 30ml.

enriched with vitamin a,e,and thermal trace elements.it left the skin soft and smooth,ideal for skin types even sensitive.
use before the toning water.










kipos toning soothing and energising lotion.200ml.

Dr lauranne low protection sun cream.spf10.  200ml.

all in all I'm happy with the box as i never received it, I'm glad to of received the  box substitute rather than none at all.as many box subs just wouldn't send anything .i would of loved to seen the box to be and hope it was good as previous.so do you get all about beauty box or have you received the substitute box due to damage,thank you for reading .feel free to comment .

My lush limited order mother day ,Easter,

Hello everyone,so just a little blog about what I received from lush limited UK.

Find lush here.https://www.lush.co.uk/

Valentines range never excited me this year ,the soap lacked a good scent .so I was waiting for Easter and mothers day range.

So only a small order I placed,

8 x mum kins ,£2.75 each ,100g.

The mum kins is suppose to be a lovely raspberry sweet smell,like jammy.it colours the bath water a pretty shade of pink ,to me and many on line have also said its not as sweet,sticky raspberry as it could of been I think that the violet seems to of overtaken which I find a little sad.

mumkin

mumkin family

9x secret gardens,90g. £2.50.each.

A ballistic that is full of the joys of spring,rose absolute,sweet Wild orange,rosewood,inside,the secret garden are petals,rose,bluemallow,marigold,makes a lovely green water.

secret garden
This was a potent little number and heavily perfumed if yo like rose queen your love this .

The mum wand,75g £5.25

the mum

This is a reusable bubble bar.scented with lime and orange.

Best results hold under running water,and then swish in the water for lots of scent and bubbles.

These annoy me abit as they are a gimmick and would rather use a bubble bar with better results,

Of all the bubble bars the washing up fairy is the only one I have in standby you never know when you run out of washing up liquid ,with do a post later on.

Your suppose to get some flower seeds on a label but for 3 years now I have never received any on these from mail order.

Madame butterfly. 75g £5.25

A rose and lemon,geranium papillon,

A lovely pink bath ,this is the strongest smelling one of the bath wands for mothers day .

madam butterfly

Also is a mum tulip, 75g £5.25

Chocolate orange and yuzu and cocoa scent this tulip.

mum tulip

Last up is the  Easter egg hunt. Soap  100g £ 3.40.

This giant soap looks like a giant lawn with Easter eggs planted in and it looks amazing .

This soap is fragranced the same as the mumkins ,a sweet fruity raspberry perfume.everyone was looking forward and excited to see and get this .

Easter egg hunt soap.

Easter egg soap

but alas as many have already said I have to agree,lush I'm not impressed,I can't smell the raspberry the violet has taken over and it has that green scent to it and it's verging on cucumber scent ,what a disappointment again.the citrus seems to knock all the perfumes off.

I think lush are really lacking in experience in using scents in these soap bases more so than the creamy soaps.and it dried my hands and wasn't a great lather making soap either.

Candy Japan sub box service.

Hello everyone .
So in January I thought that I would look at subscription services around the world that ship to the uk.
Not just the beauty boxes concept.
So I decided on first stop sweets and I know I can buy from cyber candy and stateside candy but it's not the same so.
Say hello to candy Japan .
First up you are given a true manga style how to sign up instruction ,
Then what you get to do is try lots of various Japanese. Sweets,twice a month you will receive an envelope through your letter box containing a picked sweet of the month,
Sometimes these sweets are not what they seem and a video is uploaded on site and shown how to prepare or eat  or if they need an explanation it is shown and it makes the candy easier to eat.
$23.95 a month so that works out at 2 packages free wide world shipping .
Candy Japan can be found here .http://www.candyjapan.com/
I received kinoko no Yama .
Mini mushrooms (mushroom mountain in Japanese) .

each piece contains dark chocolate on the outer layer and milk on the inner layer and a cookie biscuit base,

Next up are fillers to fill the envelope up so a little piece of variety.
Chiroru milk ,
sold as tiny impulse items sold separately .chiroru milk is chocolate on the outside and cream on the inside .the cream tasted like a soured cream and it was very rich one piece is enough.

Hello kitty marshmallows.
Of course if you have sweets from Japan no sweet would be enough if it didn't have hello kitty packaging.So a light fluffy marshmallow with a chocolate cream centre .

Past and future candies to be included can be found here.
http://www.candyjapan.com/candies

So I will be getting some more of these as it quirky.
So have you used this company or would you try it ,tell me what you think ,
Thankyou for reading.
