Unwrapping the Box: August 2012 – Go Green

Right now the beauty industry is shifting towards a more natural approach, and here at bb we couldn’t be happier! This month we bring you the pick of the natural crop of beauty, skincare and lifestyle products, with some amazing brands on board - let's go ahead and unwrap the 'green' August bellabox!

* Please note the image shows the entire run of products, only a selection is included in each bellabox

We can hardly contain our excitement - we’d like to present you with the luk beautifood Lip Nourish exclusive! Hot-from-the-lab, you’ll be the one of the very first to smooth on this nourishing balm, in a range of 7 shades and flavours. Made from 100% natural, edible, food products, get your hands and lips on this wonder product that is yet to hit stores! As far as leaders of the beauty pack go, we don’t stop there. Luxuriate in LUSH Cosmetics’ Body Conditioner – the first of its kind! Similar to a conditioner for your hair, give your skin some all-over smoothness and silkiness with just one application after showering before rinsing off. For an around the clock hydration hit, your bod will also love the natural colloidal oatmeal in AVEENO’s Daily Moisturising Lotion.

Remove pollutants and rehydrate the precious skin on your face with emerginC skincare. Due to popular demand, Be In Awe are back with their range of skin specific, and may we say, spectacular serums. Dry skin will find much needed relief with the Nutri-Synergy Moisturiser – your face will feel restored, refreshed and ready to face the day ahead. Your face and the planet will love you thanks to 100% biodegradable face wipes from Wotnot – now that’s a lot of love! For the eyes? You can’t go past a touch of Bourjois Smoky Pencil in Dark Purple! I spy with my little eye perfect winged peepers and you will too, next time you look in the mirror, thanks to Eye of Horus Liquid Define Eyeliner. No matter how tired or unsightly you feet feel now (We understand. It’s winter. No judgement!) the Uspa’s Organic Foot Pumice will have you jumping to wear your best strappy heels with its divine exfoliating and regenerating properties. We all dream of days at the spa. Thankfully Aurora Spa Retreat understands that pampering should be accessible. Try their clarifying shampoo and revitalising conditioner, part of the all natural, treatment tested and approved Aurora Spa Rituals range for a moment of bliss you can gift yourself everyday. And remember, the best beauty starts from the inside out. To give yourself a nutritional boost, look no further than Phytocare’s Daily C.

Going Green isn’t just about looking good, or even helping the environment by using natural and organic ingredients (even though both of which are totally fantastic!) We also want you to take a little time out to nourish yourself this month, whether it be for 3 minutes, or 3 hours. Self-care needn’t take a whole day to manifest itself, or for you to feel the results of a little TLC. Small acts of self-kindness will take you one step further towards feeling how you’d like to - whether it seems like you have miles to go, or whether your feel-good destination is simply just around the corner. Every little step in the right direction really does help! Be sure to check in with us on Facebook and in our online magazine this month for plenty of tips, tricks and advice from the pro’s on how to look after yourself – you deserve it!
