April Favourites

Only four new favourites for April, mainly because I've been trying to use up a lot of other products at the moment.   But four's better than none right?  And they're good ones too:-

(1) Pure Fiji Nourishing Exotic Coconut Oil - Love this little sample bottle to bits  Have so far tested out its multi-purposeness and can happily say that it works wonder on the hair as a pre-wash conditioning treatment,  on the body as a moisturiser, and in the bath!  And yes, it really does smell incredible too.

(2) Bourjois 'Chocolate' Bronzer in 52 - My favourite budget bronzer for contouring and giving an overall healthy/summer glow look.  Review & swatches here.

(3) Simply Argan Oil - I have really been enjoying using this since it arrived in an Amarya box.  It absorbs into the skin so well without any greasy residue and leaves it looking supple and toned.  Also fantastic when used on hair lengths and ends too for conditioning and de-frizzing.

(4) Liz Earle Gentle Face Exfoliator* - I've also been using this in my skincare routine this month, and it's helped to clear up some blemishes and make my face lovely and smooth.  Excellent product for getting rid of any stubborn dry patches too.

What are your current beauty favourites?

Amarya Organic/Natural Beauty Box - April

I was very happy to get my Amarya box redelivered to me from the post depot today, along with some other wonderful goodies that I had missed whilst being away. This month's Amarya box contains a full size bottle of Pure Organic Argan Oil by Simply Argan which I am very excited to try out. Ever since this miracle oil exploded onto the blogosphere, I have been wanting to try it, but had been seriously put off by the amount of fakes on the market, so I was a bit wary. Plus it annoyed me greatly that some companies were using the term 'Pure Argan Oil' on their products when they actually only contained a small percentage. So you can imagine how pleased I am to finally have a proper bottle of the pure stuff, this one even comes with a certificate of authenticity!

The other two products in the box are tiny sample sachets, but again ones that I'm happy to try out nonetheless. I received a 7ml Evolve Protein Build Conditioner for dry/damaged hair and a 2ml Jurlique Purely White Skin Brightening Cleanser. Will include mini reviews of these two in my monthly empties posts once I've given them a go.

Special offer code: enter EASTERBOX for 15% off the Evolve and Jurlique ranges when you purchase them from Amarya.
