Another lovely month and another beauty box…this time round
it is the YOU Beauty Box
YOU Beauty Box gives you the option to choose two samples
from a shortlist of selected products each month. This month the following were
the items shortlisted
- BalanceMe Congested Skin Serum (7ml)
- BareMinerals NEW SkinLongetivity (7.5ml)
- KIKO Velvet Touch Creamy Stick Blush (10gm)
- Ladival SPF15 (150ml)
- Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser (30ml)
- Nails Inc Porchester Square Nail Polish (14ml)
- PRO:VOKE Liquid Blonde Colour Activating Treatment Shampoo (50ml)
Plus each box included a Kneipp Devil’s Claw Massage Oil
(20ml ) and Organii SPF 50 Sun
Milk…but that’s not a big deal …well at least not for me!
So the goodies I picked were,
Bareminerals
NEW SkinLongetivity – Sample Size 7.5ml/£6.75 (RRP £45 /50ml)
If you haven’t heard of this product in the last couple of
weeks, you have either been avoiding beauty magazines, blogs or Instagram or
just crawled out from your favourite hiding spot. It’s been everywhere. SkinLongetivity
is designed to reawaken and help maintain your skins most vibrant look of
health. Basically promises of a younger looking skin. The serum itself is a
white creamy texture serum which almost immediately sinks into my skin. With no
residue, perfumed smell or any sticky aftereffect it’s something that can
included in your nightly skincare routine.
KIKO
Velvet Touch Creamy Stick Blush – Full size product (RRP £7.90/10gm)
Everyone’s got their sticks out this summer, from your strobes,
highlighters, bronzers and KIKO joining the bandwagon with their blush stick.This creamy stick promises a gorgeous hint of colour
for a healthy flushed effect.
The verdict? It’s a lovely pigmented dusky pink creamy texture which required a bit of blending in once applied. But it does give you a natural flush of colour on your cheeks.
I have never used a blush stick and have always preferred using a powdered blush and brush to blend it in. But the packaging and the actual size of the product makes it chic and convenient to pop it in your makeup bag. I might not ditch my brushes just yet but its definitely a must try product.

Kneipp
Devil’s Claw Massage Oil –Sample Size 20ml/£2.19 (RRP £10.95/100ml)
The Kneipp's Massage oil is a thick blood like liquid which promises to be effective in a tropical manner by adding the oil into your bath. I've not tried the oil yet , mainly because since I have had my child the concept of a 'Bath ' is more of a luxury than anything else.
Organii Everyday Organics SPF 50 Sun Milk -Sample Size 3ml/£.47p (RRP £19.90/125ml)
Another product that I haven’t had the priviliedge to use mainly due to the tains (1st day of summer they said L)….This is a sun protection lotion which is supposed to be fragrance fee and quickly absorbed by the skin.
The YOU Beauty Box seems like the best budgeted beauty box on the market at just £6.95 a month including P&P. Each month subscribers get the opportunity to choose which two products they want in their box and there are some full sized products. One thing to note you do pay on a monthly basis, so if you do not intend to continue after your initial purchase , please do remember to cancel your subscription.
Overall, for £6.95 for a monthly subscription , which I get to cancel at a later stage and products worth at least over £15 I think its good box. It’s a great way to try out beauty products from
some really good and known brands and also some new discoveries and you get
some actual full size products.
Have you tried the YOU Beauty Box?
