When one of my favourite bloggers got in touch asking if I wanted to review her beauty box, I firstly screamed in delight and secondly agreed. Jaina, whom some of you might know better as WhichBeautyBox is the go-to site for all things beauty box related. Not only are her photos just incredible and can she slay the flat lay, Jaina is just one of the nicest bloggers I've come to chat to online.
This beauty box has been put together by Jaina herself and contains TEN products. The box itself oozes Summer and for the first time in a long time I can state that I have not used a single product contained within the box before, so this will be a first of everything for me.
Alphabet Bags Ombre Stay Wonderful Cosmetic Bag – RRP £22.00
Just in time for travel season comes this beautiful vibrant cosmetic bag from Alphabet Bags. With a hand drawn ‘Stay Wonderful’ design has been printed in sparkly gold glitter on a white canvas and hot pink ombré makeup bag and the interior is lined with hot pink nylon taffeta.
I am really impressed with how roomy this bag is and I have it packed already for when I go away for a long weekend with the mister, I have managed to fit in all my makeup and some toiletries!
Gifts By Little Miss Popsicle Bath Fizzy – RRP £3.25
If like me you love having a bath and like chucking random products in to make it even more fun. Then an ice lolly shaped bath treat is quite possibly one of the most fun things to have!
To use, you simply ensure there are a few inches of water in your bath and as your bathtub continues to fill, swirl this Summer-themed Bath Fizzy around in warm running water, watch it dissolve. If you love the scent of Ribena, then this Bath Fizzy smells remarkably similar.
AA Skincare Green Tea and Aloe Soothing Cleansing Wipes – RRP £3.30
It is rare that I use face wipes, I have to be really poorly to use them on my face and in most cases, I use them to clean swatches off my hand and arm.
These wipes contain natural extracts of Aloe Vera and Green Tea to soothe and nourish skin and Olus Oil to moisturise.These wipes work to lift surface dirt and grime from the skin in one-step and they also remove make-up and cleanse the skin gently.
This pack has 25 wipes and when the weather is incredibly warm, again for me, wipes are used to soothe my skin, especially on my arms and the back of my neck.

Bloomtown Botanicals The Hedgerow Organic Hand & Body Wash – Full size 300ml RRP £12.00
This is an introduction to a brand which is all over my social media feed and one that not only packages its product in an eco-friendly glass bottle but a brand which shouts out that it is not only cruelty-free but is 100% free from palm oil, SLSs, parabens and synthetic detergents.
Inspired by the late summer scents of Cornwall, where Bloomtown Botanicals hand-craft all of their bath and body products, this Hand & Body Wash takes in the summery notes of juicy blackberry and sweet honeysuckle and is made with nourishing coconut and olive oils to hydrate the skin. All of those together in one bottle and it smell just incredible and it leaves the most amazing scent on your skin.

MAKE Feet Revive Lime, Lemon and Lavender Foot Cream – Full size 50ml RRP £12.00
I use a lot of foot balms in the Summer and as I tend to wear my Fitflops every day, my feet need extra TLC and slathering on a cream is part and parcel of taking care of my feet. Make Revive Foot Cream is a delight to use, it contains avocado oil, apricot kernel oil and beeswax which help to combat hard skin and soften even the driest of feet. A blend of lime, lemon and lavender essential oils are deliciously refreshing as well as being antiseptic leaving the feet refreshed, soft and deliciously scented.
I also find the cream is really luxurious and it feels so good on the skin and it smells just incredible, so fresh and really really comforting.

Vegan Friendly and 100% cruelty-free, this Lipstick Mattifier can be applied over the top of your existing satin/shiny/glossy or cream lipstick. Right now Matte shades seem to fill my timeline and a product like this one is perfect for those of us who like our shiny lipstick but want to give the matte trend a try but with a shade you are happy with.
Danglefoot Nail Varnish in the shade Atlantis – Exclusive to the box! Full size RRP £6.50
There wasn't a chance Jaina would create a beauty box and not have nail polish in it. So within the box we have Atlantis from Danglefoot.
Described as being an indie creme teal there are twinkling particles within the polish which really capture the light and not only is it a really pretty shade but Atlantis is also a 5-free polish which means it contains no toxins and it is cruelty-free and vegan.
Raspberry Sangria Candle Jar by Flamingo Candles – RRP £3.50
I love Flamingo Candles and to have one made for a beauty box is kind of special! Described as being Raspberry Sangria it smells just incredible! It is definitely more of a summer scent than an Autumn Winter one and I am looking forward to lighting it.
