Can we just take a minute to appreciate the packaging... and breath. Yes it is pretty god damn dreamy. Once I started opening it, it automatically felt luxurious. The little white box with Mintd printed beautifully in gold, the box is filled with tissue paper and to top it off it is all wrapped up in a white ribbon. It's just a dream, its the little details and effort gone into this box that makes it special.

Novembers box is themed 'Winter Skincare Hydration'. The second I heard the theme I was excited! There is nothing better than giving your skin a little treat, especially when the temperate drops.
Please find below my full reveal and review of Novembers box.
I've never really tried a luxury shower cream, I usually use Carex shower cream because lets face it thats a little more budget friendly. However I was not disappointed with African Botanics, I didn't exactly have high expectations at first but when using it I fell in love. The scent, the feeling, just everything. The ingredients are just amazing in this product, crushed Baobab fruit and ancient volcanic lava minerals to gently polish, refine and revitalise the skin. Tonnes of great ingredients which are antioxidant rich and great for boosting circulation, purifying the skin and even helps to tighten and tone the skin. This shower cream retails at £41, but I defenitely think you are getting what you pay for.
I'm usually not a lover of sheet masks but occasionally I find one that I really love and this trio of masks really stood out to me. The Exfoliate Flash Masque felt smoothing and refreshing on my skin and left my skin feeling thoroughly cleansed and soft. The Hydrate Flash Masque was my favourite of the 3 and one I wish to repurchase. My skin is on the dryer side so I'm always looking for something to hydrate my skin. My face felt fresh and hydrated after using this mask. The last mask the Illuminate Flash Masque was nice as well, although I don't feel like my look and more luminous after use. They all smell similar, a very light fresh scent. They also felt comfortable on the skin and didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. Definitely a big thumbs up from me. These retail at £21 which is a little pricey for sheet masks but for the Hydrate Flash Masque alone I think it is worth it.
When the Winter comes it is extra important to take care of your lips. I find my lips always get a little neglected so when this came in my box I was determined to give my lips the tender, love and care they deserve. This product was a little difficult to get my finger in properly and actually get product out but when I did and applied it to my lips it felt creamy and hydrated. It sat comfortably on my lips without leaving a sticky residue. It does exactly what it claims to do and leaves your lips feeling moisturised, supple and smooth. It retails at £16, I definitely think it is worth it as this product will last a really long time and its a great treat to have in your stash.
I had really high hopes for these gloves. I wash my hands to much and always find my hands quickly become dry and sore, so when I saw these were in my box I was thrilled. I've never tried this brand and was excited to try this product. I decide to have a pamper one evening when my hands were really bad to the point they were red, sore and had smalls cracks. After using the gloves I noticed a dramatic difference in my hands immediately. However the next day after a few washes my hands were quickly back to being battered. I do like these gloves and I think they are a little treat but if your hands are severely dry like mine they are something you would probably have to use daily or every other day and at £28 for a set of 3 it could quickly become expensive. I think I would repurchase these but they definetly be a treat once in a blue moon.
Last but not least Evidens Rich Cream. This was my favourite product in the box. From the first use I fell in love with this cream. My skin has been really dry, dehydrated and lacking lustre for the last few months and after using this once my skin felt dramatically changed. I have never tried something that has had such an amazing impact on my skin. Now after using it for nearly 2 weeks my skin is just completely different, it feels smooth and looks like its got some life back. When I realised that the travel size of this cream was £47 I was a little gutted as its not exactly budget friendly but if you love luxury products and have a little extra money to spend I 100% recommend this product. I believe the full size retails at £213 which is kind of devastating for me. I thought I'd found my perfect face moisturiser, my ride or die and then I saw the price tag and that is just not in my budget unfortunately, however if it was in my budget I'd be repurchasing it as we speak.
Overall, I am so impressed with Mintd Box they have gone above and beyond and I have enjoyed every moment of my experience and couldn't recommend them enough. I love that it gives me the opportunity to test high-end, luxury products that I wouldn't usually have the opportunity to try.
