ABW S/S 14 Samples Box

My alarm goes off at about 6am most mornings and I begrudgingly drag myself up and out of bed. There are a few exceptions to this throughout the year and two of these belong to the A Beautiful World Sample Box which are released in May and October. The Sample Box costs £20 plus £3.95 P&P.

So when my alarm went off at 6am on Thursday 8th May, I knew what had to be done.... get onto the abw site quick sharp and order a box before they sell out!

My box arrived yesterday and this is what was in mine...



I received two full sized products in  my box, the first of them Nature's Beauty Bee Venon Eye Serum which costs £25 on the site. This is an anti-aging eye serum which instantly tightens the skin. Best used morning and night for full results.

My second full size product in the MuLondon White Chocolate Elbow, Knee & Heel Cream which costs £19. This products has been raved about and has been reviewed by so many of the blogs I follow that I feel so slow in not trying it before! An intensely rich cream for those neglected areas that smells heavenly thanks to the white chocolate.

I'm looking forward to using Chocolate Suns Cocoa Glow for a natural, organic self tan, on my legs for a wedding at the end of the month. 

I'm also excited to try The Body Deli Radiance Enzyme Peel as I've read so many positive reviews on this company. I think I'll use this tonight to refresh my skin for the coming week.

Two bits from Marble & Milkweed, Rose & Chamomile White Tea (which is lovely) and a tiny sample of Spring Tonic Serum. I'll be using this before my nightcream for an extra boost.

Next up is a sample of Bee Yummy Skinfood, a live and organic moisturiser that feeds the skin. 

Lastly, no Sample Box would be the same without a Tili Bag and a Collagen Mask Pack.

There are a few variations between boxes, which is stated when purchasing, but I think I've got a really great value box here with my two full size products adding up to £44. 
I'll be signing up for the A/W 14 box without a doubt!

What did you get in yours?

  2. God I feel bad for you getting out of bed at 6am every day haha! I got a Dahliana Eye Renew instead of Bee Venom products, I think they must have run out of Dahliana products as it wasn't on the list of brands? You'll love the MU London cream it is to die for! I use it on my feet at night and put socks on :)

  3. Awesome! We have similar boxes in the states like Birchbox and Ecopique- these picks look awesome! I love it! I wish it were easier for us to access UK products here in the states and vice versa. :0)

    1. I'd cancelled my SoukSouk box back in Jan as I just had too many smaller sized products but considering I'm almost through them, I had to buy this! x

    1. I've used the peel just the once so far and it's really super thick honey. Found it difficult to spread onto my skin but my forehead looked much smoother after use :) x
