Last month’s box was the Retreat Edition
and this month we have the Firecracker Edition with a berry and orange themed
box. The six items inside the box should be worth over £58.00 altogether! I
also received a free aftershave sample.
The box quote this month is: “Be
fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire”.
Here is what I received this month:-
| 30ml - Can’t find price! |
This is a lightly tinted serum, enriched with Vitamin C and E. It is supposed to give you a sun-kissed glow. You should massage it into dry skin. It does say you can use it all over your body, not just on your legs. This is not the sort of product I would be interested in trying.
| Full Size: 120ml - £38.00 |
| 50ml - Can’t find price! |
This cleansing micellar water should remove stubborn make-up and bring hydration and moisture to your skin without drying or tightening it. I already use a micellar water product every day, so this is a product I am interested in using. The bottle is quite cute and can be re-used for travel purposes. It contains Artic Cotton, but I wouldn’t say it really has a scent.
| Full Size: 200ml - £20.00 |
| 50ml - £16.00 |
This face cream is supposed to provide moisture without leaving your skin feeling greasy. It is recommended for all skin types and it contains Green Tea, Aloe Vera and Raspberry to provide protection against free radicals. I am excited to try this out. I am into trying different face creams/serums at the moment. It has a light scent, but it doesn’t really smell like any of the ingredients listed.

| 20ml - Can’t find price! |
This is a conditioning heat protectant cream for your hair. It should be applied to towel dried hair, mainly focusing on the ends. It sounds like an interesting product, but I don’t think I would use it. If it was in spray bottle form, I would more likely use it. I always wash my hair on an evening, so when I style it in the morning, it is already dry. I also find the spray bottle versions easier to apply; you don’t get your hands all sticky.
| Full Size: 50ml - £26.00 |
| 10ml - Can’t find price! |
This nail polish contains charcoal, which is supposed to protect and promote the health of your nails. It is described as a red shade, but it looks more orange to me. It definitely isn’t a true red, but it does look like a beautiful shade. I will probably pass this along as I rarely paint my nails (I’m too lazy for that) and I already own quite a few polishes that I don’t use, so I don’t need to add more to my collection. If I painted my nails more, then I would keep it. It is definitely more of a summer season shade though, it doesn’t scream autumn/winter to me!
| Full Size: 14ml - £15.00 |
| 0.7g - Can’t find price! |
This eyeliner pencil is supposed to be comfortable to wear, intensively pigmented and long lasting. It has a precision tip and a creamy formula which should allow it to glide onto your eye effortlessly and be blended out for a smokier look. I already own far too many eyeliner pencils (mostly Urban Decay), so I will be passing this along, but it does look beautiful. One thing I will say though is that it doesn’t look that creamy compared to my Urban Decay ones, the tip looks quite sharp in comparison.
| Full Size: Can’t find size! - £10.00 |

This product isn’t listed on the official Beauty Box page, so I’m not sure if everyone received a sample of this. It was actually inside my main Beauty Box, they may have had too many and needed to get rid of some. It is kind of random though really because I do not wear masculine scents/aftershave/men’s cologne. The blurb inside the sample card says “Montblanc Explorer is an invitation to a fantastic journey, an irresistible call to adventure. This unconventional woody aromatic leather Eau de Parfum reveals a fresh green Italian Bergamot, contrasted with a powerful Vetiver from Haiti, and combined with rich and exclusive Patchouli from Sulawesi. Be prepared to discover new horizons”. It gives me Dior Sauvage kind of vibes. I am one of the few people that doesn’t really rate that scent, I have smelled sexier scents in my time. It does smell fresh, musky and woody. I wouldn’t be mad at smelling this on a man, but I am more of a Mugler Alien Man Fusion kind of girl!
| Full Size: 100ml - £69.99 |
This was an interesting box. It isn’t my
favourite, but I have got a couple of products I am excited to try out. I am
more looking forwarded to next month’s box as I haven’t ever received a LF
Christmas edition Beauty Box before, it will also be my last box as I will be
unsubscribing. I am just finding that the majority of products I receive are
uninteresting to me and I also very rarely re-purchase something I have tried
from a box, which is the whole idea of these boxes. I just like the excitement
of opening a sort of present and not knowing what’s inside until it has been
completed unwrapped! I’m not sure how much my box was worth this month as the
edit leaflet didn’t include any of the prices this time, which is a little
annoying, but hey ho!
The Sneak
Peak for December’s Box is that you should receive a 10ml tube of the AVANT Pro-Radiance Brightening Eye Final
Touch (worth £98.00).
