  • Affordable Luxury From Glow’s March Bath & Body Subscription Box

    There’s a reason subscription boxes are popular. They give customers the chance to try out new products or a combination of products they may never put together themselves. That’s why I’ve enjoyed Glow’s subscription boxes over the last couple of years. March 2023 box was a little different to their previous ones (usually wax melt based). This month’s showcased their new bath, body and fragrance range recently launched on their website. And guess who couldn’t resist buying it? For the cost of £22.00 including postage and packaging, what did I get?

    Raspberry Candy Floss Shower Gel & Celestial Whisper Hand Soap
    First impression

    As I was ripping open my parcel when it arrived, my first thought was there was ALOT of products in this! A great (and thoughtful) mix of products for the bath, body and even the face. Some of these products would be used everyday (shower gel, hand soap and body mist) and some to help relax and pamper, so more as a treat (bath salts, bath bomb, body butter and eau de parfum etc).

    Madame Body Mist
    Sizes

    Sizing is generous with each product. These are not sample sizes but full sized products! Weeks worth of use from Celestial Hand Soap and Raspberry Candy Floss Shower Gel. Up to 4 baths from Dazzling Foaming Bath Salts. Raspberry Candy Floss Body Butter contains many, many applications and Madame Body Mist and Musk Eau de Parfum lots of product to use if and when needed.

    Musk Silhouette Eau de Parfum
    Packaging

    All of these items have functional packaging to them. They aren’t fancy but simple in a good and practical way. I really like how the bottles are black which makes them stand out. And the tubs being clear means you can see the product inside.

    Dazzling Foaming Bath Salts
    Fragrances

    I’ve had a cheeky sniff of all of these products and they smell fabulous! Most of these are all the types of fragrances I like anyway and these are scented beautifully, fragrant and obvious but not overpowering. I’m not 100% sure abut the foaming bath salts in Dazzling as it’s quite left field for me. But of course I will give it a go before I pass judgement so watch this space!

    The extras!

    The added facial tools were totally unexpected but equally welcomed. What a brilliant addition to this already overflowing box of goodies. So not only is the body treated by using the Glow bath and body products but now the face can be pampered too.

    Recommended?

    I can’t recommend (or not) this box because it was limited in numbers for March’s release. But what I can say is if a similar subscription box comes out like this in the future, then yes! These are practical but luxurious products, full sizes and will cover nearly all of your body care needs. I’ve already been lucky to try a few of these items previously but in different fragrances (*gifted*Pink Sugar Foaming Bath Salts and Amber & Lavender Body Butter) so I know what to expect. But I’m so excited to try the other products. This is what you call affordable luxury even on a budget!

Not to worry…here is a round up of some of the products I used in the month of March.

    March Product Reviews
    Palmer’s Coconut Oil Body Lotion

    It took me a long time to buy this body lotion. Why I do not know as it’s a gorgeous body product! Hydrating, non sticky and beautifully fragranced. Easily available and not expensive. Well done Palmers!

    The Little Wax Box Co’s Banana Nut Bread Wax Snap Bar

    As a lover of wax melts and bakery inspired scented fragrances, Banana Nut Bread Wax Melt Snap Bar was the perfect introduction to the wax vendor The Little Wax Box Co thanks to a friend. An unusual and highly addictive fragrance which was surprisingly strong and punchy.

    Beauty Laundrette’s Cotton Smooth Micellar Body Wash

    Never thought I would be a fan of something so softly scented, but when the dreaded curse of hay fever kicked in, this was perfect for me! Foam, non stripping and lightly fragranced. Cotton Smooth Micellar Body Wash is ideal for this time of year. Beauty Laundrette are a fun and interesting range available from the UK based store Superdrug.

    Getting Spring & Summer Ready. New Aldi Body Care Products!

    New foot care products from Aldi. Great timing for these products to be released. Not just for general pampering but of course, getting ready for Spring and Summer and more open foot wear.

    The Body Shop’s Mango Body Butter

    Body butters are a great alternative to a traditional body lotion if you suffer from dry skin. Thick, more emollient like and very protective, this is why I love them! And The Body Shop’s Mango Body Butter is one I’ve used and is now on my ‘love’ list!

    Farmologie by Child’s Farm Pink Grapefruit Bath Soak

    This was a great bargain price wise! If you bought this recently you will know, and will be pretty pleased with yourself that you got it for under 50p! Super cheap, lovely (but light) fragrance, bubbles, which creates a nice bath for all the family.

    Farmologie By Child’s Farm Pink Grapefruit Bath Soak

    I think I’ve been pretty busy not only trying out new products but writing about them too. And I’ve enjoyed ever moment of it. So what’s in store for April? Wait..and..see
