Lovelula's November beauty box introduced me to Natura Siberica, with a 30ml travel size of Oblepikha Hand Cream. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to try a few other products from the brand. Currently on Lovelula's website when you spend £25 or more you can receive a free trial set containing Coloured and Damaged Hair Shampoo 50ml, Coloured and Damaged Hair Conditioner 50ml, and Oblepikha Hand Cream 30ml. There is so much to choose from, and with everything being such great prices it took me a while to decide which products to go for. Here is what I decided on: Natura Siberica Oblepikha Mask for Severely Damaged Hair 300ml £8.95 - My hair is fairly damaged due to straightening and colouring, and has quite a few flyaways, so this mask is perfect to repair my strands back to a shiny and smooth appearance. Vitamins and amino-acids in the formula nourish and repair hair, oils of Altai sea-buckthorn and Moroccan argan help produce kerati...

The Vegan Kind offer two types of subscription boxes. Lifestyle and Beauty. The lifestyle box is £10 per month + £3.15 p&p whereas the beauty box is a bi-monthly subscription for £15 + £3.15 p&p every second month. This is Decembers box so the next one will be released in February. A fab selection of prod ucts this month. I've used all the brands previously, and I'm not disappointed to see them feature in this box. One of my all time favorites is Betty Hula . Their Shea Butter Body Moisturizer is heavenly! Here we have Champagne and Spice Nourishing Anti-bacterial Hand Cream . A great size at 25ml (£4.95). This also comes in two other scents, Lime & Mango and Rum & Blackcurrant (my fav!) This antibacterial hand cream leaves your hands feeling deeply moisturized & germ free. With Shea Butter and Coconut Oil to help diminish the appearance of skin ageing and blemishes. Figs & Rouge Hydra-Pore Soft Focus . A product I currently own...

Embracing the festive season with a sparkly box and some extra goodies, December's Birchbox is by far the best they have done in a long time! Normally there are one or two products I won't use, but this month I love EVERYTHING!  Let's take a closer look.... LARITZY Cosmetics - Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in shade Tidal. This liquid formula delivers rich, pigmented colour that won't budge! The first full sized product in the box that everyone will recieve. And worth an amazing £20! Oh K! - Bubble Sheet Mask. An innovative mask that reacts with the oxygen in the air to form tiny bubbles when you place it on your face. It does make for a serious funny look but purifies and smooths skin for a radiant complexion. Its a fun sheet mask and I love the tingly feeling of the bubbles. Leave on for ten minutes and rinse with warm water. Another full size worth £7.50. Rituals - The Ritual of Ayurveda Body Cream . Combining an irresistible aroma of...

My Lovelula box arrived slightly later than normal this month (silly Christmas rush) but was worth the wait. £13.95 per month, this box contains 1 travel size and 4 full sized products this month. This is one of few boxes that don't give out spoilers or sneak peeks which I think is great...I love the element of surprise! But they only dispatch once a month so if you sign up in December you will get January's box.
