Elegant Environmentalist: March 2012

Joliebox February 2012

I don't have a picture for this and i unfortunately haven't tried everything from this yet as I am in the process of moving and the box's contents are split over two houses. I will update later on with pictures and reviews of the other products!

My box contained the same as everyone else and had:

Lavera hand cream - This was already my HG cream from the LIB boxes. I love this stuff and the full size is under £4!
Macadamia Hair Mask sachet
Jane Iredale lip tint
Taaj make up remover

Amarya March 2012

My March Amarya contained:

John Masters Lavender and Rosemary Shampoo for Normal hair - This smells very strongly of lavender. It foams well and left my hair super soft and shiny. Compared to other natural shampoos it performs well but it doesn't foam up as well as conventional shampoos will. I would definitely buy this again!

John Masters Lip Calm - This is a gorgeous, lemony balm that is full of natural oils and super moisturising.

REN Anti-ageing treatment - This a thick oil that you apply at night. This reminds me of the Liz Earle Superskin Oil and is about the same price. I don't need a concentrated anti ageing product but I do like using a good oil every now and again for a boost and I think the Liz Earle will be more suited to this purpose than the REN.

Inlight facial oil sachet - This smelt gorgeous. The only problem I had was that it smelt no different and felt no different to the facial oil I made up myself from base oils and essential oils. Don't think I could pay for this.

Running

As part of my Fabbing efforts, I am doing a few races in the next few months!

I'm running the 3 mile race for Sport Relief on the 25/3. Hoping it will all be OK and I'm training for this at the moment!

I also have a place in the Great Manchester Run which is a 10km race in May. Going to start on this as soon as Sport Relief is done!

My inspiration has come from wanting to get my Slimming World Body Magic awards and a book called "Run Fat Bitch, Run!". This tells it to you straight with no fads, gimmicks or silly promises. I love the idea that with every run you do you are automatically a winner. It defiantly keeps me going!

Amarya February 2012

My February Amarya box contained:

Neom Happiness Candle - This smells divine!

Zoya Nail colour in Kristen - I love the colour and it goes on well in two coats but mine chipped SO easily.

Essential Care Avocado Cream - This is a brilliant night cream. It sinks in well and is a good size to try out.

Essential Care Rose Day Cream - This smelt like the Dr Haushka cream we were given in the last box but it was a light lotion like the avocado cream. This is multi use and can be used as a normal moisturiser or as an eye cream.
