There’s been an awful lot of beauty reviews and skin care talk on the blog lately right? Well, let’s just say that I’m becoming increasingly interested in getting my glo on. Lol
I talked about how I’ve been looking to develop a natural skin care routine in this post, so I was really excited when the Albimazing network reached out to me to try out their beauty box. Not only because theirs is a natural and organic skincare subscription box but also because if there’s one beauty retail trend (if I can call it that) I’ve been wanting to try out, it is beauty boxes.
For those who aren’t sure what a beauty box is all about, it is basically a subscription type service where you pay monthly and get a box of handpicked beauty products delivered to you. I love the element of surprise that comes with it, like a sort of gift to yourself and also the fact that I don’t get to spend as much money as I would have if I buy the individual products myself.
The Albimazing beauty box is thebrainhild of fellow lifestyle blogger, Coco Anetor-Sokei, and I just have to comment first off on the branding and packaging. I’m a sucker for branding and this gets major points from me for presentation. The box itself is a really lovely colourful box that is just so pretty to look at and I plan to use it as a makeshift jewellery box soon. It came with an extra leaflet listing/expantiating more on the box and products which I thought was really nice.
For the maiden box, the theme was “the vitamin c box” focusing on organic products that work to enhance your glow and gently erase the sun’s damage. If you remember from this post, that is the one thing I’m actually searching for with skincare products.
The box comes with five different products – the Ajali konjac face sponge, the L’avyanna skin naturals vitamin C daily exfoliating face wash, mint organic care foot scrub, whipped shea butter by shea butter roots and Moringa oil.
My favorite and the best surprise for me was the Ajali konjac sponge because it has been on my wish list since I attended Ajali’s anniversary party and I was just so happy to see it lying there. Will do a review on the products in another post.
I think subscription boxes in general are a great idea! It was really fun unboxing this and going through the products. I hear there are also food subscription boxes but I’m not sure how I feel about that just yet. Lol. So for now, I’ll be sticking to beauty boxes and I can’t wait to see what the next theme for the Albimazing box would be.
For the cost and other details, there are three plans you can subscribe to: The monthly Plan where you get to pay N10,000 every month, the Bi-Monthly Plan for N17,000 every two months and Quarterly Plan for N24,000 every three months

I also received another beauty box from Youtopia beauty but theirs isn’t a subscription box, I just got sent a box of some products they retail as a Christmas gift.

Oh you wouldn't have to stumble on it. All you have to do is subscribe! Details in the last paragraph of this post 😆
I love them both. I always save my boxes if they are sturdy for storing my jewelry. Great post!! Lukeither @AtlantaBizWomen

Hello Cassie. The boxes look awesome. I've been hearing good things about Ajali cosmetics. Would love to try them cos they're made from natural, organic ingredients, no? No I've never had a subscription box, but it sounds awesome cos I hate shopping so it'll kinda be like having my own personal cosmetics shopper lol. Merry Christmas. Mitchell
Yes you gorrit! Ajali has also super impressed me and i dont think I've seen a bad review yet
It is a great gift idea, not really into skin care so not sure how I feel about it
