Beauty Boxes Going Au Naturale

In the past i've mentioned whenever a beauty box company does a "natural" themed month but to my surprise, one beauty box company seems to be shifting it's focus to natural and organic products for good. So a big thumbs up to BellaBox! This month their theme was "get naked" by letting your bare faced beauty shine through. I was lucky enough to receive the following products which I am absolutely loving! I'm thrilled that all of them are natural or organic because one of my main issues with these sample beauty boxes is getting products filled with chemicals that I don't end up using. In fact, I recently received a petroleum based lip balm in my Lust Have It box which left my lips dry, swollen and sore - I even developed an ulcer behind my lip! So to get only natural or organic products in my Bellabox made me very happy, here's what I received:
 
ULittle Beauty Natural Shine Hair Serum, 100mL, RRP $19.95 (Full Size)
I'm really looking forward to using this tonight after I henna my hair! Everything that i've tried by ULittle Beauty has been fantastic so far (many reviews of their products will be coming soon). This contains Argan Oil which is a wonderful ingredient so I have high hopes for this serum.
 
Yes To Carrots "C Me Blush" Lip Tint in "Cotton Candy" (Light Pink), 2.6g, RRP $9.95 (Full Size)
I'm very thankful that I received this colour and not "Ready Red" like some other subscribers as I already have it (and reviewed it here). These aren't really tinted lip balms as they don't deposit much colour, but they are very nice lip balms and I love the tingly feeling that the peppermint oil provides, it's very invigorating.
 
Planet Eve Anti-Aging Face Moisturiser, 50mL, RRP $59 (Sample Size - 10mL)
Up until the other week i'd never even heard of this brand! I actually picked up their "Super 5 Eye Firming Gel" from BeautyHeaven's Beautorium store the other week and am liking it so far. Despite Planet Eve having a focus on "anti-ageing" their products are also really great for sensitive skin. I'm looking forward to trying this out and seeing how my oily skin copes with it as it's a reasonably priced organic facial moisturiser.

 
Pure Fiji Hydrating Body Lotion in Coconut Infusion, 354mL, RRP $29.95 (Sample Size - i'm guessing around 30 mL)
I'm so glad that I saved the matching body wash from my Lust Have It box a while ago because now I can layer these! I don't know what Pure Fiji's ingredients are like as they have no ingredients list on the sample bottles, but I believe that they are natural (i'll do some more investigating and please correct me if I am wrong). I really love Coconut so these are a lovely little treat.
 
Bellamer Eye Balm, 15g, RRP $40 (Sample Size - around 2g)
I've never heard of Bellamer before but they seem to be a small Australian based skincare company. Again, they don't have an ingredient list but from what I can find online, it seems to be Shea Butter based with Peppermint oil and Chamomile oil.  I currently use ULittle Beauty's Eye Balm so it will be interesting to see how this compares.

 
Carman's Muesli Round in Fruit & Nut, 200g/5pack, RRP $5.50 (Sample of 1 Muesli Round)
This was a bonus treat this month. I guess it's not something that you'd usually expect to find in a monthly beauty box but it definitely fit in with the theme of letting your natural beauty shine through! After all, no amount of skincare products can compensate for a bad diet. These Carman's muesli rounds are delicious snacks that are perfect to have with a cup of tea. I've actually bought these in the past and quite enjoy them.

Do you subscribe to any monthly beauty boxes like BellaBox? Did you receive anything different to me?
