Little Known Box April 2019 Review & Unboxing*

New month, new treasure trove of goodies from Little Known Box 💗 This month's curation is the 'Floral Fever' April 2019 edit - and she's another lil beaut.

Before I crack firmly on with this review & my undying professions of love, I need to make a quick disclaimer here; as it's really bugging me & I'm pure kicking myself for my ways [y am I like this.] In the main flatlay pics of this month's box, I've accidentally missed a product out & I'm pure ashamed hahahaha. 

You probs / may not notice it, but I have & I need to stick me rancid tanned hands up right now & admit the error of my ways. 

The product in question had hidden itself under my photo-taking-table & I didn't find it till later; when I'd packed everything away and gone full rogue with the other products. You'll see it in the other pics, but just not in the flatlays of all the products together... so soz about this huns, if it bugs you as much as it does me 😂

Let's get down to business.

So, as I touched upon briefly, this month's edit is the 'Floral Fever' box; all products which have been picked out with obvious love & attention to detail for the theme [flowers, sunny vibes & pastels.] As soon as I opened this month's box I was like 'wow, dis stuff is all ded co-ordinated, dis will make taking my flatlays a breeze.' And then left one of the bloody lilac products out, which would have balanced out the top of this shot with pastel goodness a treat 😫

Anyway - that's other reason why I love Little Known Box so much - the amount of care, thought & effort you can tell goes into every month's offerings. This beautifully co-ordinated curation of products & brands is themed around feminine shades & floral elements; which is reflected in the packaging of the products contained, as well as in the products themselves.

Let's dive in, before I get hung up on the flatlay thing again.

Douvalls Lip & Cheek Oil, Full Size, RRP £16

I'd not heard of this brand before, but this product is lovely. A totally wearable dusky pink shade - which can be used as a cheek & lip tint, this argan oil hun is vegan, organic, cruelty-free, paraben-free and free from nasty chemicals as well. Noice. I hope at least some of yous get that reference, haha #TeamJake

I'll wear this as a subtle, nourishing lip tint over Spring / Summer - it's natural, pretty & feminine, ideal for taking on ya holidays, no?

Tisserand Aromatherapy Lavender Roller Ball, Full Size, RRP £6.25

I love a bitta aromatherapy in my life... and although you won't be able to tell when you read this [unless this post is even more scatty than my usual standard] I defo need to relax & sort my sleeping pattern out... as I'm typing up this post at 4:30am with zero ragrets.

I've tried Tisserand roller ball essential oil products before and was really impressed with the quality of the oils & the mood enhancing fragrance, so I'm hoping this lavender & chamomile bad boy will work some much needed chill into me life. Or at least help me flip my reverse sleeping pattern back to how it should be... I'm currently like a massive tanned hamster, losing my sh*t at night & sleeping in a sweaty nest with snacks by my side during the day.

I'm very erotic, I know.

Cougar Beauty Facial Oil, Full Size, RRP £19.99

Ah, hyaluronic acid. I know sooooo much about you these days. I've gone from a pure skincare novice with my babywipes & sudocrem toolkit, to an actual functioning human with knowledge of what ingredients fix what when it comes to matters of the face.

This cruelty-free oil has loads of other goodness in it too, but hyaluronic acid & it's ability to help the skin retain more moisture & hydration is a big thing for me when it's approaching the summer months. My tip would be to apply this stuff right after a shower / bath, before you moisturise. Having this as ya base will help your moisturiser absorb into the skin loads better. It's science, hun 🙅

I hope this facial oil is really good anyway, as for a bottle that size, its pricetag is pretty steep. I know, I'll never fully come out of the el cheapo babywipe stage mindset. I'll report back, if I remember #MindLikeASieve

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Brush Cleaning Tool, Full Size

How pretty is this brand's packaging, pls? Everything I've tried from them [mostly fuelled by Little Known Box haha - I've tried what must be a large percentage of the range by now, so cheers bbz xo] is contained in stunning vintage inspired floral loveliness; making their products great to pop in pretty feminine gifts.

Brush cleaning eggs are always useful - I actually do use these when I [very rarely, I admit] cleanse my stash of brushes & tools. I have a Freedom Makeup London brush cleansing spray which works really well when sprayed on ya tools [wheyyy] and used with a brush egg. So every 6 years, you'll find me using this 😂😂 [exageration obv, I'm bad at life tasks but not that bad, after I watched a horror story about not washing ya makeup brushes on Snapchat.]

e'lifexir Natural Beauty Leg Cream, Mini, RRP £15.99 Full Size

This was the one that got away. The product that sneaked under my photo-prop table and has caused me so much anguish since, hahahaha. Probably cos I felt a bit warm during my photography spree & applied some to my legs to refresh; meaning a rogue foot [of mine, I hope!] probs knocked it under there. I only have myself to blame. Repeatedly.

This brand [I'm not gonna keep attempting to type that name out, it blew my tiny mind] is vegan, using 99% natural ingredients in their products; which I applaud. This is a great product for Summer; especially if your legs or ankles swell in the heat. It's proper soothing, cooling and relaxing on ya skin - its effectiveness & usefulness for on holiday making it one of my surprise favourite picks from the Floral Fever box.

Offer: You can grab 30% off this brand's range via their website [www.elifexirnaturalbeauty.co.uk] from the 1st - 31st May 2019 with code LKB30

Bonus Product: Little Known Box Daily Planner, Life Size

This surprise bonus has stolen this month's title for me. My number one fave pick outta the edit - and not actually beauty related 😂 It's just so handy though, I've used it every day since it arrived to try and keep my clustered brain and overly full schedule on track. I actually sell blog planners & daily planners too on my Etsy yeno, whilst I'm at it [shameless plug, zero sh*tes given] which you can check out here.

I'm really enjoying 2019's Little Known Box edits so far; I think they seem fresh, on-point & refreshed for the new year... and next month's is their Birthday Edition, which is gonna be biiiiiig and I can't wait 😍

What's your favourite pick from this month's products? Have you tried LKB's bangin' service yet?
