March - The Natural Beauty Box & My Thoughts

So this is what I received in my March Natural Beauty Box (That arrived in April).

The Natural Beauty Box is a beauty box from Canada. They ship to different parts of the world. I'm in the UK & my box cost me £19.50 total. 

Unfortunately I had to chase up my box, as did others as they did not keep us informed on when it was going to be shipped.. And by the time we came into the month April, people started wondering where the March box was!

I got told on the 18th March it would be shipped soon. I got a dispatch email 12th April. Almost a month after I was told it would be shipped soon.

I love their boxes, although the lack of communication and having to chase up the boxes is a very poor way to run a business. I had to ask them the same thing in a few emails (not in the same day) before I got a reply .. And once you pay all you have is the paypal receipt email, no email from them.. 

I just wish they'd improve their customer service a bit and communicate more with their customers.  Oh and also not tell us a box will be shipped soon if it isn't going to be.

But anyway .. onto this months box contents: 

Just opening..



Inside..

Everything Taken Out..

Envelope with my name on that has the info sheet inside & receipt.
 Onto the product details:

First Product...


 This is the Natural Luxury Frangipani Extra Moisturizing Facial Exfoliant. According to the leaflet this is worth $19.50 and is full size at 1oz. By checking google 1oz is around 28g . To be completely honest I will most likely swap this as I don't really put much on my face and I already have an exfoliator I really like.


---------------------------------------------

ONTO THE 2ND PRODUCT.. 



 This is a makeup item and will also be swapped.. Temptations Bath 'n' Body Queen Oompabulous Pot Of Chroma - Treasure Island.  Again this is full size and worth $24.95 . This is a makeup product that can be used as an eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, bronzer, and even as a lip colour. They do it in different shades. This is 0.5oz.

---------------------------------------------
  
3RD PRODUCT...




 Pure Anada Loose Eyeshadow Velvet Matte Shade Latte 1g. Full size worth $8. This will also be swapped.

---------------------------------------------

 PRODUCT 4....

 This I was happy about. Not something I would use but with it being my mums birthday in 3 days and she has been trying stuff to help her under eyes this was a PERFECT gift.. (along with the other things I got her) This is Dr. M. Emerald Super Hydrating Anti-Inflammatory Mountain Edelweiss Under Eye Gel. This is worth $45 and is full size.

---------------------------------------------

 PRODUCTS 5, 6 AND 7....


 I put all of these in the same photo since they are all the same brand and look like a set. They are Judith Jackson products all 1.2oz. The Citresse Conditioning Shampoo is worth $2.50 and the full size is 8oz for $13. The Citresse Conditioner is worth $2.75 and the full size is 8oz at $13.50. The Tenderly Hand & Body Lotion is worth $3 and the full size is 8oz for £15. I'll definitely use the shampoo and conditioner. May use the lotion on my hands.


---------------------------------------------

NOW ONTO PRODUCT 8... 


 Tommy Bahama Traveler's Collection Exotic Coral Bath & Body Gel at 2oz worth $4. The leaflet doesn't say if they have this in a full size version or what price it is so I'm not sure if they do or not. I will be giving this a try though! 

---------------------------------------------

PRODUCT 9....




 These are from the same brand as the previous product; Tommy Bahamas. Traveler's Collection Exotic Coral Moisturizing Bath Salts. Sample worth $2. Pretty cool how the card the salts are in can stand! These will also be used. 

---------------------------------------------

LAST PRODUCT.. PRODUCT 10! ... 


Another Pure Anada product but this time it is a lip balm .. Elegant Nature Bath & Body Cocoa Mint Lip Balm. I have tons of lip balms and use different ones all the time so this will definitely get used! This is full size worth $3.

Overall very pleased and glad there was something in it that I could give to my mum as part of her birthday.. So I have to say a BIG THANKS to The Natural Beauty Box for that. Although I usually just give things to my mum anyway if I see something that she would most likely use. The total value of the items I will actually use may only total around $17.25 which is around £11.32 but still one was used as a gift that valued $45 which is around £29.54 so I'm delighted. 

All I can really ask for now is the customer service to improve & then everything would be fab because you really need to be patient to be a subscriber which unfortunately a lot of people are not. But it does get worrying when its the next month and you haven't been notified of whats going on yet.

Did anyone else get this & what was your opinion ? x
