After a somewhat negative review of the July Beauty Heroes box (see here) I’m back at my usual positive reviews, this time with the July Art of Organics box, which is one of my faves. Why? Well because it contains a Leahlani product! I’m sure you all know by now how I feel about Leahlani products, but if you don’t, they are bloody amazing!! And the second product in the box is beautiful too.
July Clean Beauty Box* with the theme ILLUMINATE contains Leahlani Skincare Aloha Ambrosia Morning Moisture Elixir and Au Naturale Pure Powder Highlighter in Begonia. Check it out here.
Aloha Ambrosia Morning Moisture Elixir is the only elixir I’ve tried from Leahlani and it is so gorgeous! I already used a whole bottle of it and I loved it so much (read my review here). Aloha Ambrosia is an exotic superfood feast for your skin and I completely agree with that. Formulated with youth-enhancing antioxidants and vitamins derived from Mangosteen, Goji Berry, Guava, Passion Fruit, Kiwi, Acerola Cherry. These lovely ingredients are blended in a mix of Olive Squalane (which is very hydrating), Sunflower & Jojoba Oils. Aloha Ambrosia is lightweight, gives my skin that beautiful radiant look, it gives an aloha glow. It gives a massive punch of moisture and makes my skin plump and soft. The oil is also balancing and it really is so stunning. AND it smells gorgeous, like every other Leahlani product does! It has a sweet floral scent and smells mainly of Jasmine, but it’s not really your typical jasmine scent. It’s so darn beautiful! Aloha Ambrosia is the perfect morning treat, for your skin and for your senses. I think it would work for all skin types. You can check it out here.
Au Naturale Pure Powder Highlighter in Begonia is a very pigmented (which isn’t really shown on the photos), gold highlighter with a touch of pink that gives a sun-kissed, bronzed look to the skin. It can be used both dry or mixed with Aloha Ambrosia or some other oil. Ok so far I only used Begonia dry and I applied it on my cheekbones, as a highlighter. I saved my first impression in my highlights “makeup” (on my Instagram) and for me, the look of it was a bit too much. I really do prefer a more natural look and I love a highlighter that looks radiant on my skin, like it’s just a part of my skin and I prefer if it’s not very obvious that I’m wearing a highlighter. So I tried it as an eyeshadow instead and it is absolutely gorgeous! First I applied it with a dry brush and then also with a wet brush and it is oh so very pretty. Very! I have yet to try it out mixed with Aloha Ambrosia and I was thinking that should be a gorgeous primer all over my face. I will update you on my Instagram when I try that. Oh and don’t be scared of the packaging. You simply spray some product on the back of your hand or directly onto a brush and simply apply where you wish. All in all, Begonia is beautiful and with a colour like this you can always find a way to incorporate it into your beauty routine. Check it out here.
July Art of Organics box is so lovely and the two products perfectly match the Illuminate theme of it. I also have to say that the print of this box is so pretty! You know that I love nature. It was created by Juliet Meeks, an artist and surface designer based in New Orleans, LA. You can follow her on Instagram at @julietmeeksdesign if you wish.
