My first beauty box of 2012 is from Amarya, and I was a little apprehensive to see what was inside because this month's box was tiny and very lightweight. I needn't have worried though because...
...there was a full size Dr Hauschka product! Wow! Given that Amarya seem to like to include a lot of Dr Hauschka goodies in their boxes, I had been crossing my fingers that they would include a full size item soon, so I was more than pleased with this. Wrapped in a very pretty purple butterfly bag was their award winning Rose Day Cream which retails for about £24. In the enclosed leaflet, it says that this is made with "the extract of over 1,075 organic rose petals in every tube", which sounds pretty incredible. I can't wait to use this and I'm glad that I didn't get this for Christmas because I had been eyeing it up for some time.
Also included in the box were these two samples. I received a 5ml sachet of John Masters Organics Jojoba & Ginseng Exfoliating Face Cleanser which states that it's "the perfect cleanser for oily/combination skin" which suits me perfectly. The second sample is a 3ml tube of Caudalie Radiance Day Fluid which smells nice and has SPF10.
Summary: For me, if the only item included in the box had been the Dr Hauschka cream, I would have been happy anyway. They are a high-end brand that I really like, but due to finances, I can't always afford to try them out. The two samples are tiny but they seem like they will suit me, so I'll definitely use them up at some point. Though I can imagine you'd be feeling pretty disappointed right now if you didn't like the Dr Hauschka cream.
Great review and fab pictures! Still to receive mine! Great value! x
