I had the pleasure of reviewing a Goodbeing box back in October (read my review here), so I was thrilled when they offered to send me another one to test out. If you haven't come across Goodbeing before, they are a monthly subscription box that's based in the USA, however, they ship to numerous countries, including the UK - yay!
Everything about Goodbeing is focused on natural beauty, wellness and living sustainably/eco-friendly and they do two different types of subscription boxes; a beauty one and a lifestyle one. I decided to try out the latter as it includes both beauty and lifestyle products, which keeps things nice and interesting. It's also a great way to be introduced to brands that you can't often find over here, so if you love trying out new products, especially natural skincare and makeup, I feel that Goodbeing would be a perfect fit!
What I like the most about Goodbeing is that they personalise the boxes to your profile (you fill in a detailed questionnaire when you sign up) and you get to choose two of the products that will be in your box every month - how cool is that?
Here's what I found inside the November Goodbeing Lifestyle Box:-
On top of the products, they always include mini cards that give you more info about the items included with some discount codes, and there's also a lovely inspirational quote - this time it's one from Albert Schweitzer.
Woo Bamboo Eco Toothbrush (RRP $3.95)
If you've recently watched Blue Planet 2, you may be wanting to change some of your plastic consumption habits, and one way you can do this is by purchasing bamboo toothbrushes. Millions of plastic toothbrushes end up in landfill sites around the world every single day, so by swapping your plastic toothbrush for one made from sustainable and biodegradable bamboo, you're doing your bit for the environment. Why not buy an extra pack from Woo Bamboo and give them to friends and families as stocking fillers this year?
Au Naturale The Anywhere Creme Blush in Grapefruit (deluxe sample worth $11.66 - full size is 9g for $35)
Next up was a product that I chose myself and it's a very generous deluxe sized sample of Au Naturale's bestselling The Anywhere Creme Blush. This creme blush can be used to perk up the cheeks for a pigmented flush of colour and can also be used on the lips, making it a versatile product to have in your makeup bag, especially for travelling. There were a range of shades available and I opted for Grapefruit which is a beautiful fresh rosy pink that has a subtle golden shimmer running through it - very similar to NARS Orgasm on the skin!
Poethique Radiance Boosting Serum (15ml deluxe travel size worth $27.50 - full size is 30ml for $55)
Moving onto skincare, I was pleased to see this Radiance Boosting Serum from the Canadian brand, Poethique. I've seen this brand mentioned numerous times online from green beauty blogs so I've always wanted to try something from them. I love the packaging of this serum which is formulated with AHAs derived from Caviar Limes to gently exfoliate and brighten, whilst Wild Plum extracts balance and protect the skin. The texture of this is so lovely - it feels very luxurious and sinks into the skin quickly. I've only been using it for a couple of days, but I really like it so far.
KoVoss Nourish MagiK Shimmer Body Lotion (full size, RRP $28)
Perfect timing for the upcoming party season, I found a pot of KoVoss Nourish MagiK Shimmer Body Lotion inside this month's Goodbeing box. Made from just a handful of ingredients such as Avocado Butter, Grapeseed Oil and Shea Butter, these are blended together with mixed mineral micas to create a golden shimmering lotion that you can apply anywhere that you want a little glow - ideal for legs, shoulders, arms and the décolleté. Very subtle and pretty, plus it smells great!
MyChelle Lip Hints Conditioning Lip Balm in Nude (full size, RRP $12.50)
As I'm obssessed with lip balms, it was a no brainer that I would choose this for my box and I couldn't be happier - this Lip Hints Conditioning Lip Balm from MyChelle is amazing! It has a really rich melting balm texture that allows you to dip your pinky in and glide the balm effortlessly onto your lips with one quick swipe. I love the Nude colour and it feels wonderfully hydrating which is perfect for my super-dry lips. A fantastic find!

What's your favourite natural beauty box?
Looks like a great box! I love the look of the serum (and agree the packaging's fab!) My favourite beauty box in the UK is the Skin Organics one.
