This month the rubies were spoilt with the new rubybox packaging and a box full of amazingly scented treats. Most of the products I haven’t tried before which is why rubybox is such a great concept.

1. Bramley Magnolia Body Butter-16g (R24.99-250g)

A lovely smelling soft buttery formula enriched with vitamin E and Bio-pharm oil sinks in really quickly into the skin and is very moisturising. This is such a cute little sample and is perfect for keeping in my handbag. Such a great addition for the winter months.

2. Nutriwomen Oxygenating Papaya Masque-15ml (R129-125ml)
When I opened the box this is the amazing scent I was greeted with. This masque uses natural papaya enzymes to remove dead skin cell build-up while stimulating cell growth. After this mask my skin felt so pampered and smooth.

3. Rubybox Tools Concealer Brush (R119.95)

Always excited to see another addition to the rubybox tools collection. This little made of synthetic fibres ensures that the brush does not absorb all your product, can be used to blend and apply any type of concealer. The fibres of tightly packed to give a more natural even coverage. The tapered tip allows for precise application. This brush is such a great investment.

4. TLC Acne Wash Cleansing Facial Wipes-full size (R29.99-25 sheets)

A handy re-sealable pack is great for those late nights when you just want to pass out. I have used many types of cleansing wipes before and was quite surprised by the fact that one wipe can cleanse, tone and moisturise whilst blitzing blemishes. While I wouldn’t use this daily because I have a really tedious skin routine with serums and many more serums I think this would come in handy if I am just too tired to wash my face properly. Quite moisturising and didn’t dry out my skin like many items that contain salicylic acid.

5. Deep Heat Bath Tonic-50ml (R31.95-250ml)

The ultimate treatment for aches and pains. This liquid foams up very nicely and contains juniper, eucalyptus, patchouli and thyme which has a very calm and relaxing effect. I must admit that I have steered clear of any type of deep heat products since I can’t stand the medicine type scent but to my surprise this one is somewhat bearable.
