The cold weather and perpetual grey skies have been making me feel a bit down in the dumps recently, but I instantly perked up when the postman delivered my Amarya box this morning (ah, the power of material things...).
The box was a lot heavier than last month's and here's the reason why. A REN giftset! In the most beautiful packaging I've seen in a long time. It is simply gorgeous and something I will definitely be reusing. The giftset (worth £28), comprises of two full size bottles (200ml) of Neroli and Grapefruit Body Wash and the accompanying Body Cream. Since trying out Bodhi's Ylang Ylang Incensa giftset last month, I've been enjoying layering bath & body scents, so the REN set couldn't have come at a better time for me to try out. It smells lovely, more grapefruit than neroli, and a bit like fruity sweets! This was a great treat to find in this Xmas box.
Also included this month, was a 10g sample tube of Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream (full size 50ml £14.95) which I'm looking forward to trying out. Everything I have tried by Dr. Hauschka in the past has lived up to its hype so I hope this is good too.
Lastly, I received a 1.5ml sample spray of Acorelle Eau De Parfum in White Orchid. "These are the world's first certified organic perfumes made of essential oils and natural extracts based on the principles of aromatherapy." Not being a fan of perfumes, I gave it a quick spray just to see what it was like and shock horror, I actually think I like this. It didn't give me a headache like most perfumes do and it's light and floraly with a tang of oranges. The full sizes of these are also really affordable for such quality, just £29.99 for 50ml, so it might be the first time in like, ever, that I buy a perfume!
Overall, I'm really happy with my Amarya box and look forward to seeing what they come up with in the New Year :)
P.S There was also an offer code included in the box. If you spend £50 at Amarya, you can receive £10 off your order by entering "XMASBOX", ends 31/12/11.
