Finally got my Beautylishious beauty box!

When I got my Glamguru box a while ago, I mentioned in the post that I wrote about it that I had ordered another beauty box that I never got, from Beautylishious. Well, as it turns out, I did get it now, after quite a long while, so when I wrote that I was highly suspicious of the fact that the Beautylishious box was ever sent, I was obviously wrong. Because it did arrive, and it was quite nicely packed too. The box, which was actually more of a bag, looked like this when I got it:

One of the products (the face mask, consisting of a very fine powder of some sort) had leaked a bit, but other than that all the products arrived in perfect condition.

The bag contained 4 different products, that all seem to be full sized, which is really nice. And while I haven't had a chance to try them properly yet, the products seem to be of good quality.

The products I got were:
- A Ooh La La Naked Creamy Bliss Coco de Mer Body Wash, which was nice, since I actually needed a new body wash anyway.

- A small bottle of Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment for hair, something I was also pretty happy about since  I have tried the Macadamia brand in the past (see some previous experiences here and here, for instance) and liked it. So it will be nice to try yet another product from this brand!

- A Fresh Minty Foot Scrub by Ooh La Spa. A nice surprise as well, since I could actually use a foot scrub at the moment, yet it's one of those products I never seem to go out and buy, mostly because I get pedicures on a regular basis, so I don't do so much with my feet other than that. But I definitely don't mind having a reason for getting better at foot care!

- A Natural Face Mask with Rose Clay and Raspberry, by a company called Lilac Thyme Soap Company. This face mask looks really different from other masks I use on a regular basis, so I actually really look forward to trying it for that reason alone!

So my experience with the Beautylishious beauty box actually turned out to be a really positive one when I finally got the package. The products seem generous and nice, and the packaging was flawless as well. I am still not sure I would order this beauty box again, since it took a really, really long time for me to get it. But if you live in the UK, where Beautylishious is located I believe, you probably won't have that kind of problems with the shipping, so I would recommend this beauty box to others, at least if you happen to live in the UK!

My first beauty box purchase: Beautylishious

I've been reading about beauty boxes for ages now, and I have always been kind of tempted to try one of these subscriptions. But a lot of the companies that offer monthly beauty boxes sadly do not ship to where I live, so my options were kind of limited. But now I've managed to find some beauty boxes that ship worldwide, so of course I should try some of them, just for the experience.

The first monthly beauty box I ordered was ironically not a box though, but a beauty bag, from Beautylishious. I should be getting it in January sometime and I am looking forward to it a lot. I need to form my own opinions on these monthly beauty boxes, because I am still not quite sure how I feel about them. On one hand, I do like trying new beauty products, of course, and the element of surprise with them appeals to me, but for the same price that you pay for these monthly beauty boxes, you could get at least one full priced beauty product that you choose yourself, and know that you like, so I am not sure they are worth it. Because what if you get a bunch of stuff that don't suit your coloring (talking make up here) or skin type?

But still, beauty samples are always fun, so the idea of having these sample beauty boxes is great if you ask me. I am just not sure if a beauty box monthly is for me.
This is why starting with Beautylishious was actually a good idea for me, you don't have to sign up for a subscription right away, but just order one box. And I guess if you like it, you order one - or several - more.

So let's see how the Beautylishious beauty box turns out. The brands listed on the website seem great at least (the list includes one of my absolute favorite brands: Soap and Glory, for instance!).
You have:
Murad
St. Ives
Crabtree & Evelyn
and The Body Shop, in it for instance.

And ordering a bag was simple as well.

I will be ordering some more beauty boxes further on, since I want to try to figure out what the best monthly beauty box available worldwide would be, so if you live outside the US/UK/Canada (the countries that seem to have the most monthly beauty boxes to choose from), stay tuned!
