My Little 'Dream' Box REVIEW | April 2015 UK

 Ever since FleurDeForce did a collab with "My Little Box" i've wanted a box from them and, this month, I am lucky enough to have been sent their "Dream" box and I am IN LOVE. The box was filled with a bunch of goodies and motivational quotes.

I'm yet to use the Masque but it has a delicious sweet coconut scent and comes in the cutest packaging so I can't wait to try it!

My favourite product in the box is 400% the Loved by Lou Lesage balm, it's an exact dupe for the Benetint Balm. It glides on really well and leaves a sheer rosy layer on your lips, whilst leaving them moisturised.

Another product that will have a permanent place in my handbag for a long while is the solid perfume by Sabe Masson in Copacabana. The packaging is gorgeous and is really sturdy meaning it won't fall apart in my bag which is a win. The fragrance is strong fresh and long lasting and feels like a balm upon application. It reminds me of my first ever perfume I got (J.Lo, cringe.) so it's a really nostalgic smell for me. It's quite unusual so when going to the site to find out the scents I found out it's worth $25! This box costs costs £11! So, you've got your moneys worth with this product alone.

Carrying on with the "dream on" idea we got a lovely multi-saying stamp and ink, believe it or not i've never owned a stamp before so I had great fun playing around with this!

I love that my little box varies it's products and already thrilled at the box I put it down and started writing my review, only to find another item in there, they really spoil us, don't they? It's a simple, yet gorgeous bracelet.

As you have probably guessed by my non-stop raving about the products in this box, I am thrilled that My Little Box lived up to my expectations and filled the box with so many goodies. I really recommend subscribing to them, can't wait to see whats in next months box. To sign up for just £11 a month visit to their website here.

Holland and Barrett Sleeping beauty box

I'm extremely energetic. Now, this is great throughout the day as it means i'm always alert but it's not ideal when it comes to sleeping. So when the lovely people at Holland and Barrett put together a beauty box to aid peaceful sleeping it's safe to say i was thrilled. The Sleeping beauty box* came in a beautiful white box wrapped with a green ribbon and filled with goodies.

Wonder Oil: Buy (here)
This smells divine. It smells fruity and has a touch of spice. To me, the leading scent is grapefruit. This product can be used as a hot hair oil, for massages, as a cleanser, to moisturise cuticles, in the bath, on the tips of your hair and so much more. Now, that's what i call a multi-use product! I like to use this after shaving as an intense moisturising treatment and also in the bath so the smell fills the bathroom. Yum.

Cherry juice concentrate: Buy (here)
Cherries contain the sleep hormone melatonin; I didn't find that it put me to sleep. However, i did find it hugely relaxing. I mixed 3 tsp in a warm mug of water before i went to bed and found it really soothing. You can also put it in cold water and use as a refreshing beverage before an exam, test etc. to calm nerves. It's naturally sweet so you don't have to add any sugar which makes it an extremely healthy alternative for squash, ribena etc. It also works well in smoothies to add taste. This product has a large variety of ways you can use it and i highly recommend buying it if you find it hard to unwind or find yourself getting anxious before things like exams.

Lavender Oil: Buy (here)
Lavender is one of my favourite scents so i was really excited to test this out. It's recommended that you put a few drops on your pillow (i used 2-3 drops) but i like to do a drop on each of my wrists as well. It's hugely relaxing, i found that i drifted off to sleep within 20 minutes of using this product. The scent is strong but not overpowering. It's more of a sweet lavender smell than english lavender which i tend to prefer but it's really subjective to the user.

Dr. Organic Night Cream: Buy (here)
This cream is an extremely thick overnight treatment which has a gorgeous spicy scent. Unlike most overnight creams, this sinks right into your skin and doesn't leave it looking or feeling sticky. It's an intense moisturiser and left my skin feeling soft and hydrated. Ideal for sufferers of dry skin. This product can also act as a toning treatment.

I hope you find this post helpful and if you're looking for an excuse to buy all of these, it's national sleeping month! So you'd be a little bit of a spoil-sport if you didn't join in... right? My favourite product was the lavender oil as i felt it was the most soothing and helped me get a good nights sleep, so if you buy just one of these items let it be this one! Hugely impressed by these products from Holland and Barrett and will definitely reviewing more in the future.
