It's the last month of the year. Woohooo. Happy December all. And, boy, am I glad we are coming to an end of this year. I know I said that in my last blog post, but 2018 really has been such a rubbish year for me. I'll be glad to see the back of it.
Although, I am super duper excited for Christmas. I'm definitely a festive kind of person. I just love the atmosphere around the holidays; The endless Christmas music, the lights switched off in the lounge so you can relax and drink mulled wine with the Christmas tree lights on..and the food. So much good food to eat and a good time with the people who for the rest of the year just piss you off most of the time.
But I love Christmas. Which means I've also been really excited to see what the December beauty boxes are going to be like that and if they will be delivering a Christmas theme to them.
Well, I've got to say, I was kind of disappointed with Latest In Beauty. Their December boxes will come all beautifully Christmas wrapped, with an extra treat and chocolates included in each box. I missed out on this beautifully Christmas themed idea by one day, probably even less. I literally received the email like I do every month which says payment has been taken and you can start your box, for me to then pick out all my products, receive my usual confirmation email, only for them to send another email only a few hours later to say when you build your box from the next day onwards you get it Christmas themed. Kind of gutted to know if I had left it a few hours and received the second email, I would have been able to wait until the next day to build it. Oh well.
But aside from that, I'm still over the moon yet again with the box I have built. I can honestly say I've never had any disappointments with the products fron Latest In Beauty and am always really pleased with each box I build. I honestly do keep expecting that on one of my montly builds I will find there aren't all that many products that interest me but LIB just keep adding more products and making sure that the consumers don't run out of new products to choose and try.
And what I love about LIB is that it's the one box where I know I will definitely want to try every product out because I picked them myself. I do tend to lean towards more body and skincare products with LIB and I tend to pick products that I actually need and not necessarily what I just fancy trying.
I'm always using hand cream and get through lots of it so I'm always choosing one in every box each month. I did pick two in this month's box as I tend to get through a bottle a little before the next box is due.
I absolutely love the smell of the hand cream by Soaper Duper. I've also been using the hand cream by Laidbare. It's not my favourite of smells but it does the job.
The smell of the Impulse 'Tropical Beach & Espresso' is amazing. I honestly recommend trying it as a daytime spray. I can remember using Impulse and the Charlie sprays when I was a teenager and they're not something I buy at all anymore but when I saw LIB had a few to choose from, for old times sake I just had to choose one to try out.
I haven't tanned in such a long time but with the holidays fast approaching, it's something I'm definitely going to be doing soon. And so I wanted a good exfoliator to use prior to tanning. I absolutely love the Dr. Organic moisturiser and use it on a daily basis so when I saw that I could choose the Body Polish Pre-Tan Exfoliator by them, I wanted to give it a try. It's a generous size too so I know it will last awhile.
A toner isn't something I ever use as part of my skin care regime but I've wanted to try a toner out and see if it makes a difference and becomes an added benefit, so I picked the treatment toner by Merumava. I've got to say it doesn't smell the prettiest but I'm still keen to try it out.
I also chose some Wellwoman energy tablets and some cute little hair ties.
I don't tend to always use shaving gel so when I saw the shaving gel by the brand Queen of..., I wanted to give it a try.
And the final product is a 10ml sample size of the Sarah Jessica Parker perfume lovely. It's a roller vial and definitely is a unique smell. I'm not sure how I feel about it but I absolutely love having the opportunity to trial perfumes. I've been pretty tempted to subscribe to a perfume subscription box.
The only thing I wish Latest In Beauty would have more of, and that's makeup. I feel they are very limited to the makeup you can choose and although I do prefer skincare and bodycare products to choose from, it would be nice to have some makeup products to select.
Are you subscribed to Latest In Beauty? What products did you pick in your box?
