Nip + Fab Coconut Latte Dry Skin Fix Body Butter

Hi guys! Today's review is a product I received in my first (and last) ever Glossybox way back in April (blog post HERE). I had heard of Nip + Fab before but this is my first time actually trying a product. I guess that's the great thing about beauty boxes, you get to try things you wouldn't necessarily have bought before.

The Nip + Fab Coconut Latte Body Butter is much thicker than other body butters I've used. It's almost solid when it's fresh out of the tub but melts a little when it gets warm. This makes it a real delight to use when you're fresh out of the bath and warm and toasty.

I'm usually the kind of girl that picks out more floral scents, and I love the way the Soap and Glory body butters smell so I wasn't sure how I would find this coconut scent. But it's a real winner for me, especially in the summer! It's just the nicest subtle coconut scent and actually lasts on the skin for a good 4-5 hours after you've applied it. It keeps your skin soft all day though!

My only negative is that my tub didn't last very long - I only had a small 50ml travel size and although I didn't expect it to last months and months it's almost finished and I've only been using it consistently for a few weeks. But if you're looking for a really nice smelling body butter that's a little bit different to everything else on the market, I really recommend giving this a go!

You can pick up the full sized (200ml) Nip + Fab Coconut Latte Dry Skin Fix Body Butter for £8.49 from Look Fantastic HERE.

Have you tried Nip + Fab before? Are you a fan of the brand?

My First Glossybox - the April Glossybox

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you have a great day enjoying however you're choosing to spend your weekend. Today's post is about my first ever Glossybox, which I received last week. I never really got in to the hype around the Glossybox, as I didn't like the idea of spending almost £13/month on products I have no say in whatsoever! But then I saw the design of the April Glossybox, by Pearl Lowe, and I had to have it!

My Glossybox came around 4 days after I ordered it, which I was pretty happy with. When I got the email at work to say a parcel had arrived I was so excited it was like Christmas! Even the cardboard box it comes in is pretty!

I opened up the packaging as soon as I got home from work, as I couldn't wait to see what was inside!

Here's the stunning design of the April Glossybox, by Pearl Lowe, which was my main reason for ordering it! It's so pretty it will fit in perfectly in my bedroom and the thick cardboard is perfect for storing all sorts in!

I loved how the products were packaged - having a bow to undo and tissue paper to open up makes it feel like a little present to yourself. A lovely touch!

And here's what I got! If you follow me on Twitter (@ElspethDaisy) then you'll know I was disappointed by some of the products I received. I have to say though, I didn't get the Balance Me Radiance Face Mask which I was happy about, as I know that was a product this month but I already own it. So it was a relief not to receive that.

This Nip & Fab Body Butter will definitely get used. I can't wait to give it a sniff and see what Coconut Latte smells like! I do love a good moisturiser so this won't go to waste.

This was the first product I was disappointed to find in my box - a Sleek blush in the shade Flamingo. What are the chances?! I've already owned this shade and found it too much for my pale skin so I got rid of it a while ago..

..also disappointed to find Sugar Daddy by Essie in my box - there couldn't ever be a nail polish shade that is less suited to me and my personality.

I was happy to find this So Elixir perfume sample though. I do love a perfume sample when it comes in its own mini bottle, it makes it last so much longer and you get a good few days' worth out of it. Excited to try this when I go away for the weekend over the bank holiday.

And finally this A-Derma Intense Repair Lip Balm. I'm ambivalent about this product - I haven't heard of the brand before and I'm not sure whether I will actually use it.

Overall I was disappointed by 2 of the 5 products, and I'm unsure about 1 of them. Not the best start to Glossybox and I'm still deciding whether I should keep my subscription for next month... what are the chances I would get that Sleek blush hey?!

After sharing my disappointment with some of you on Twitter, I have been thinking about maybe putting some of my unwanted Glossybox products into a giveaway so then at least someone will use them! I'm still undecided on this, as I don't want it to come across in the wrong way (i.e. as rude!) Of course the products will be new and unused. What do you think?

You can order a Glossybox for £10 plus P&P (£2.95) HERE.

Have you ever had a Glossybox before? What do you think of this month's offerings?
