YOU Beauty Box

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 (1^st 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.

Latest in Beauty

Merhaba you gorgeous peeps…and welcome to my blog. Most of you would have enjoyed your ‘blink-and-you-might-it-summer’ by now. I can’t believe this was it, the summer of 2015. It’s actually flown by so quick, the winter, spring, summer everything and now I’m being forwarded Christmas catalogues….*gasps at the horror! Am I the only one who feels that it seems like the older you get 24 hours just doesn’t seem enough for a day!

In August I received my Glamour Summer Edit Beauty Box from Latest in Beauty. As with my previous boxes, this was my first time trying out the Latest in Beauty box and I just loved the whole design of the box and the contents. When this box landed in my hands it was pouring down like cats and dogs and I had this wonderful watermelon printed box with summer goodies just oozing summer-ness….needless to say I did not appreciate the irony!!!

 

So, the Latest in Beauty. Similar to the LFBeauty box, there is no rolling contract for the Latest in Beauty box .There options for the kind of box you prefer for the month for eg. The LIB Beauty awards 2015 Winners box, the Pure and Simple box, the Capital FM box, The Glamour Beauty box and some more. For August I chose the Glamour Summer Edit Box, as the goodies seemed for exciting and also it looked like I had covered most of the travel size goodies in some of my previous month’s beauty boxes. Ever season Glamour (that’s right, the very same mag!) teams up with Latest in Beauty to create little boxes of goodies perfect for that particular time of the year.
So the goodies, in no particular order

 

Vita Liberata Trystal Minerals in Sunkissed + full size brush 3g /£11.50 (RRP £35 /9g )

One of the main reasons for opting for this box was the addition of some full size products and this looked like a decent size product and also the tag line of first ever self-tanning bronzer. It’s the first one I’ve ever used and it does a great job as a bronzer but I haven’t used it enough to confirm the lasting tan effect yet! It also comes with a ridiculously soft mini Kabuki brush .So score!!

Pixi Glow Tonic – Sample Size of 15ml/£1 (RRP £18 /250ml )

Some beauty products manage to achieve the title of the Holy Grail and this is definitely the month of the Pixi Glow. This stuff is often sold out in most places as I learned the hard way. It’s an oxygenating, exfoliating facial glow tonic and helps to tone, firm and tighten the skin and works over time to get your skin look like that I-live-on-kale-and-water kind of look. It has no alcohol or oils in it , which will be good news for many out there and also includes Glycolic Acid  which can help to lighten skin pigmentation  and also great for acne. Again, great quantity portion to try out and see check if it’s actually meant for you.

Nails inc Gel Effect Nail Polish – Full size (RRP £15/8ml)

One of three available shades, I received .This needed at least two coats for a nice glossy gel like finish. Its ok, but nothing too exciting. Perfect summer colour…when it finally gets here that is!

Caudalie Divine Oil – Sample Size of 15ml /£8  (RRP £13.25 /250ml )

The bottle says divine oil for the face, body and hair and this is a high claim. This multiuse oil has a very pleasant feel to it and this manages to give your skin that dewy feel without making it feel greasy or worse leave an oily residue. Again, another product to try out before reaching out for the full size bottle. And that smell….just …well, divine!

Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon – Full size (RRP £7.99)

I have never tried out the Bourjois lip colour. I haven’t opened this yet. But couple of things on this it offers SPF protection for your lips and it promises to last for up to 10 hours. You will receive one of the three different shades. So, can’t wait to try this out soon.

Eucerin Sun Protection – Full size (RRP £16.50/200ml)

As I mentioned earlier, it was raining cats and dogs when I got my LIB Box and it’s just seemed very non-ironically funny when I got a SPF product in the box and that too a full size product. Eucerin is ideal for sensitive skin and again no oily residue after application.

L'Occitane Essential Oils Shampoo and Conditioner-Sample size of 35ml/£2.40( RRP £17 (each )/250ML)

I haven’t had a chance to try out L’Occtaine Hair care products yet but going by the L’Occitane skin care products this should definitely give your hair the needed TLC, plus look at that packaging!!!!

Balance Me Super Toning Body Polish - Sample Size of  50ml /£6  (RRP £18 / 150ml )

I see loads of beauty boxes giving out at least one balance me product, be it masks, exfoliator or in this case a body polish. Differences between a polish and exfoliator….a body polish is a treatment for the skin kind of like a facial for the body and an exfoliator works to rub off hard and flaky skin aiming for baby smooth skin. So this is a polish works as a n exfoliator, toner and moisturiser, all packed in one, to improve the skin tone, smooth the skin and with it gentle buffing ability give good circulation for the skin. Another perfect, sample size product.

Seekers of the Sun Temporary Tattoos

The box also contains some temporary tattoos from Sun seekers which are completely lost on me so I will be giving them to my ‘almost’ 2 year old!

Overall, not bad for £17.99, a no strings attached deal with a value of at least over £100. 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.

Look Fantastic

Ola my darlings…and welcome to my blog. If you have been reading my previous posts you will know by now that I am a subscription box junkie. I love the whole concept of goodies selected and sent out to you in gorgeous little boxes. One of the things I want to learn from this exercise is what boxes are worth your time and what boxes are really not worth your time and effort.

In June I received my June edition of the lookfantastic beauty box (yup! It’s late and yup! I completely forgot about it) and this month I received my Birchbox August edition.

So first, the lookfantastic box. The June edition contained some high end brands to treat your skin and hair, and all in travel sizes, which will be perfect for my new Birchbag.  The best thing I liked about the LFBeauty box is that it’s not a rolling contract like the Birchbox or the Glossybox. They are one off boxes which you can purchase without committing yourself to a contract.

So the goodies, in no particular order

Murad Rapid Collagen Infusion – Sample Size of 5ml/£9.29 (RRP £65 /35ml )

Now I haven’t used any Murad products before I started using the Murad Age spot and Pigment Lightening Serum . And if the Murad Collagen is to be reviewed purely by the potential of the Lightening Serum it should be equally good or maybe better.

Nuxe Crème Prodigieux Anti Fatigue Lotion – Sample Size of 15ml/£7.88 (RRP £21 /40ml )

So a product I haven’t heard of before .But it says anti fatigue on the tube so guess I will be using this for all the damages I put my face through binge watching Orange is the New Black…..btw have you guys seen this gem of a show….if not, you might be the only ones left. Again.. a lovely addition to my travel potions.

Caudalie Radiance Serum – Sample Size of 10ml/£15  (RRP £45 /30ml )

Now this particular product I was super excited to try out and I get my excitement got the better of me. I pumped the sample size tube and it just spurted out a huge amount of lovely serum, which I had to then spread all over my face. The serum itself was very cooling and was absorbed in real quick. The serum is clinically proven to improve the appearance the dark spots and pigmentation. So will be testing this out as well. For 1/3^rd the size of the full size product, there was quite a generous amount.

Label M Protein Spray – Sample Size of 50ml/£2.65  (RRP £13.25 /250ml )
So the LabelM I have heard of but never had a chance to use .But I tried this product on and I loved it. My hair is naturally curly and when you spray this on before you blow dry your hair it kind of brings your hair under control if you get what I mean. It didn’t seem as frizzy or not as much flyaways as I would normally have. So yes, I will be definitely looking out to buy the full size product soon.

Ren Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask  - Sample Size of 15ml/£9.60  (RRP £32 /50ml )

The first time I saw the REN brand was when I was in Debenhams. Now , I haven’t shopped in Debenhams in a while. As there was a time when Debenhams just failed to impress me at all.And it was like this place I would go to buy your secret Santa gifts and your perfumes. BUT I was amazed with the whole new look that the Debenhams in Oxford Circus has got going on and also the large number of known skincare and beauty products and some new discoveries as well. The particular Mask has a bit of a powerful citrusy scent but does do its job brightening up the skin once used.

Korres Aloe &Soapwort Shampoo  - Sample Size of  50ml/£1.80  (RRP £9 / 250ml )

So I have never heard of Korres until I got this box but from what I can see it’s a perfect travel size goody .They are a Greek Homeopathic company with all natural products in them and the concept of Aloe Vera in anything sounds good and healthy. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet but it does smell lovely.

Overall, not bad for £15, a no strings attached deal. It’s a great way to trial beauty products from some really good and known brands and also some new discoveries.

Have you tried the lookfantastic box? What are your thoughts on the June edition? What are your favourite beauty boxes?

Birchbox-ed

Welcome back…..so this month, like with my Glossybox, I forgot to cancel my rolling contract with Birchbox. And again no reminders or emails from the company letting me know that my next month’s box will be sent out. BUT O.M.G! What a box! I just loved….L.O.V.E.D!!!!.... this month’s beauty box.

So another month another set of products…

Kebelo Clarifying Shampoo – Sample Size of 50ml/£ (RRP £13.95/250ml)

I love clarifying shampoos …anything that promises that you will be product free before you hit the bed. Currently I use the Tresemme Cleanse and Renew Deep Cleansing Shampoo which works like a dream for me. The Kebelo shampoo promises similar things so will look forward to trying this out.

Huygens Exfoliating Cream – Sample Size of 10ml/£ (RRP £19.90 / 50ml)

This is a Birchbox exclusive and something completely new for me as I have never heard of this brand before. I haven’t had a chance to use this yet but it smells lovely which ticks one of the main requirements for me in beauty products. And it’s got this nice creamy texture and not the usual pasty kind of feel. So can’t wait to try this.

Rituals Ayurveda Body Scrub – Sample Size of 70ml/£ (RRP £10 / 150ml)

So, the first rituals product that I ever used was the Rituals White Lotus and Ginkgo Biloba Miracle Hand balm. And after smelling this body scrub I see a pattern with Rituals products. They just smell heavenly and the scrub I received contains Multani clay which has exfoliating micro beads in them to brighten and soften dull skin …so in the travel bag it goes!!!

Lord & Berry Blush in Lotus – Sample Size of 2gm/£ 1.50 (RRP £18 / 24gm)

So, when I heard a blush was included in the box, I was super excited expecting to see a super cute compact blush with a mini mirror. But that dream didn’t last too long! The sample product actually comes in one of those MAC eyeshadow pans. And I’m not too confident to just leave it without the plastic packaging that it comes with. Just in case it crumbles and ruins my bag or worse my other products. The product itself is a nice soft pink which looks quiet natural against my skin tone. But I think I might be using it more of an eyeshadow than a blush.

Laura Mercier Kohl eye pencil in Black Violet - Sample Size of 0.8gm /£12.95 (RRP £17.50 /1.08 gm.)

Ok, I don’t usually experiment with colours with my kohl eyeliners except for black and blue, but this was a beautiful violet colour. I’m yet to decide on a look that will complete or work with this colour though. The shades more violet than black though so not sure about the name Black Violet. The colour itself on the skin is quiet intense and pigmented but I find it not very cooperative in the smudging department .This can work with or against you depending on the look you are going for.

Illamasqua Matte Veil - Sample Size of 3ml/£3.20 (RRP £32 / 30ml)

Ok for the actual price for the full sized product. I had to try this on just to see if the hype was worth it. And sadly, I was disappointed. I wore this under by Giorgio Armani Luminous silk foundation. For those of you who use the foundation would know that the foundation itself does have a silky texture to it and I feel it does have a, if not a full …a slightly matte like finish so it looks more natural. When applied underneath the foundation, it didn’t do much for me except for the initial dewiness.

Overall, I loved this months beauty product and thats 2 months in a row Birchbox have managed to get some really awesome goodies out to me! So definitely a 5/5 from me and did I mention about the free emoji stickers included in the box?

Have you tried this month’s Birchbox? What are your thoughts? What are your favourite beauty boxes?

GlossyBox-ed Again!

Ni Hao my lovelies..as mentioned in my previous posts, I have missed almost a week and was at home playing mum and haven’t had a chance to update my blog .I have had one reader asking me why I haven’t updated my blog recently (getting emotional here * sniff, sniff*….Thanks Bottom!). So, I’m just going to use this time between putting baby to sleep and dinner time to cram in here as many posts as I can. Mostly it’s a push for me to get my blog going on.

Now,if I have already mentioned this in any of my previous blogs, I love my beauty boxes. I just love the concept of sample sizes and the whole idea of being able to try on items before actually buying the actual sizes. So last month I had my heart set on receiving my lookfantastic June box and was quiet surprised to get an email from GlossyBox that my beauty box for the month has been dispatched. Funny, as I don’t remember ordering them since May. So guys point to be noted, if you do do a monthly subscription with GlossyBox, it doesn’t mean that the payment ceases after the selected month, it actually keeps going till you actually cancel the membership and you do not get any reminders letting you know that you will be receiving a box. So you would need to cancel your GlossyBox membership on their site.

Ok, so I’m not a festival-kinda girl. Mostly because I like the luxuries in life, you know, like clean water, clean loos…preferably with privacy included and mostly sound sleep. So going with the festival theme, Glossy box has decided to join the bandwagon and base at least some of their items around the festival theme. It wasn’t very exciting for me and I will moan more about it further down.

So in no particular order

Kueshi Anticellulite Booster – Full size 150ml RRP£13.89

Ok, so an actual full size product. Now GlossyBox, if you ever read this….PLEASE… PLEASE…Puh-lease Can I have a…any moisturizer or even any body lotion in an actual full size rather than a cellulite cream which promises to reduce your cellulite, which I believe in as much as I believe in unicorns and leprechauns .I personally do not have cellulite and feel like this is completely wasted on me. Although I do think that creams like this help in improving the surface of your skin. Girls, if you really need to get rid of the dimples, working out would be the best option. So for anyone there who thinks this thing is “totes amazeballs !” , please do let me know and I will get this out to you absolutely free.

Essence The Gel Nail Polish – Full size RRP £1.71

I love my colors, I mean I’m one of those gals who go completely crazy seeing things organized by colors and if there’s a shade I haven’t heard of try to figure out where it belongs in the spectrum. So naturally I have a nail color in almost every color…EXCEPT for coral. Now being Asian Indian , it’s quite tricky to carry off coral be it blush, lip color even nail color, and make it look natural rather than the whole “Chucky’s bride” look. So was quiet happy with corally orangey red nail color from Essence. Most probably will try them out on my feet first rather than my fingertips. Haven’t the world suffered enough?

MONUspa Rosewood Reviving Mist – Travel size - Full size for £11.95

I do see myself using this. The actual bottle itself is one of those travel friendly sizes and the mist is quiet cooling and refreshing. I can even use to set my makeup.

Halo Facial wipes – Travel size  RRP £1.20

Who doesn’t like wipes? And this is, again, your travel friendly size with 10 in a pack. That would last me five days. Although this is not strong for removing makeup, it is good for the general face refreshing when you are sans make-up.

Glossybox Metallic Tattoos  - Full size  RRP £6.50 (What!?! Seriously?)

Ok, seriously Glossybox…get your boxes in order…I mean which 30 year old or even 20 year old will want to walk around Glastonbury with GlossyBox embossed tattoos…and that’s really cheeky of you include this as one of the full items in the box. Again, any die hard GlossyBox fans, please let me know and again absolutely free of cost.

So, not a great bigYayy from my end.Although I did get a £25 off voucher for Hello Fresh. So might try that out as well. What were your thought on the box?

BODY SHOP DROPS OF YOUTH BOUNCY SLEEPING MASK :Review

…you would understand this if you were a Bollywood buff. I AM…a complete Bollywood buff well until recently. I used to know the songs, the plots, the names of the actors everything. Maybe it was the colours, maybe because they were the initial creators of Twerkin’…but a Bollywood movie was an absolute treat for me once upon a time. But this post is not about Bollywood.

Miredita..that’s hello in Albanian. And today I’ve got some reviews sorted out for the Beauty column which seems to be quiet empty for some time now. So I love me some beauty products, like seriously good products that actually work. And The Body Shop is one of my fav places that have actually nailed this. The product that actually made me go gaa gaa goo goo is the The Body Shop Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask. I was actually walking by TBS when I saw there 30% off promotion unfortunately this item was not included in the offer. Just my luck!

Ok , now let’s talk about the packaging , it actually comes in this gorgeous green glass jar and not the usual plastic tubs. love my glass jars, I use them usually to store stuff after I’m done with the product but there’s nothing fancier than glass jar products on the dressing table or by the bathroom sinks bouncing off lights all over the place. But this isn’t your fragile glass jars but quiet a heavy flat glass jar. But saying this, this might make it the only reason why this would not be favoured as travel friendly product.

Now, can we please talk about the consistency of this item? It’s not something; I have ever seen or felt before. The cream is an opaque, “bouncy”,crème caramel-y like of paste and the paste goes back to the smooth surface every time you open the lid. I have to keep this jar far far away from my little one as he could easily misunderstand it for one of his icky looking puddings.

I just used my finger to grab some pudding…I mean cream..and applied it to my face resisting every temptation to smell or taste it. The cream itself is actually a bit heavy for my taste and a bit oily on my face, so I didn’t use much product on my face. The concept of sleeping masks is to spread the cream on your face, let your skin absorb it and then sleep without washing it off. And obvio wash it off the next day. I personally love the smell, but I was not a fan of the sticky fingers that I had post application.

The next day my skin actually felt quiet hydrated and not the usual dry, ‘morning face’ kind of feeling that I usually get. I didn’t get glowy skin like those women off the ads but my skin felt taken care off and nourished so definitely yayy from me.

In a nutshell, don’t expect miracles with this cream but I can see this as an essential for the dry weathers and definitely one of dry or dehydrated skin. I did see some bounce but that could also be due to my chubby cheeks!!!!

KIKO Gel Eye Liner:Review

Goeda dag, Hallo my fellow beauty lovers.

For some time now I have been on the lookout for a good eyegel that would give me perfect jet black (ness) that I needed and also all the -proofs in the world….you know your waterproof, smudgeproof, foolproof..the works.

I thought I almost had my perfect match with my Bobbi Brown Long wear gel eyeliners and with all the lovely colours that they have. But I have no idea what secret coding they have in the gel but gone 1 month the gel just dries up and is just beyond useable and for £18 per pot, it costs much too dear to be unusable makeup. And it was even sadder to see this happening across all my colour pots.

I actually decided to browse the KIKO store in Westfield Stratford as my eyeliner was barely there and thought I could fix it whilst I was in the store.I tried some from the tester pots and it looked a perfect black. I always have issues getting the perfect black. There are just way too many random blacks in that transition from the perfect black to the greys. My other half just doesn’t get this and thinks I’m bonkers amongst many other titles. Please tell (assure!) me I’m not the only one who has this issue.

I was actually on my way to catch up with a friend of mine in Stratford and was quiet surprised that the liner was on my lids completely intact and still the same perfect black when I got home and also needed a bit of cleanser to actually get it off. Obviously when I went in there the next day to get some a glorious pot they were all gone. Just my luck!

But same store, another week, this time with a sale on, I found my KIKO eyeliner. The pot is quiet generous and has got a 6ml of whipped gel liner in there. Not sure how much it measures up with Bobbi Browns 3gm pots but it definitely looks like it’s got more in there than BB. Also, with or without the sales you still end up getting the KIKO pot £10 cheaper than BB. Sorry Bobbi Brown !

Pros: Actually delivers, doesn’t dry up as quick and also has this nice matte finish

Cons: Just the one colour…..WHYYYYYY!!!!! Why couldn’t they just do them in at least another 4 colours or even more?

GlossyBox

For a while now I have been thinking about starting a subscription to a monthly beauty box...I have never even attempted to do this before but there is a sense of excitement in expecting a box full of goodies delivered right to your house. (Even though you do have to pay for it!!)….There is actually a list of boxes that I want to try in the following months…and I get the feeling that I’m going to have mixed feelings about some of the boxes and I’m going to be kicking myself if I find out I just missed my perfect box by just a month.

Ok, so first month and we 'MAY' have the perfect box....geddit :)...we have The Glossybox. Every fashion blogger has done a review on this particular subscription box at least once in their blog lives. It does have a reputation of sending out some niche brands and on-trend beauty products. I love my beauty products and sometime ending up wasting crazy money on stuff just to find out later it is just wasn't for me and hence reckoned this might just be my kind of thing. It costs £10 per month plus£3.25 postage and packaging and you get a hand-picked selection of five miniature/tester products in an awesome pink box delivered directly to your door.

So let's see how I got along with my first ever Beauty box!!!!

**feeling quiet giddy right now !!

***Harps playing in the background!!

Ok, so it was a bit Meh !

I know the weather hasn't still made up its mind , but summer is definitely round the corner and keeping this in mind this month’s Glossybox gives a head start with some summer miniature and actual size treats from hair care to body care and makeup. And hence the aptly titled ‘Summer’s Calling’ listing all product information and actual prices. Now to be honest, I haven’t tried any of the products that I got and hence will have some fun reviewing them as well. And except for the moisturizer jar and post shave serum , all items were full sized and if you do a comparison with the actual prices that they go for. It’s definitely a bargain.

                           

1. MeMeMe Enchanted Eyes Dual Ended Eye Wand – Full Size RRP £6.95

I love my eyeliners and would not dare get out without some. I have some emergency stock at work , in the car and even in my first aid box !! So I was quiet glad that they decided to pack this in this month’s box. MeMeMe’s double ended eyeliner wand allows you to switch between a bold or subtle lines’ and I will most definitely be using this soon .And it comes in a shimmery turquoise colour! There’s also a 25% off order code for more online goodies from www.mememecosmetics.com... So yayy!

2. Etre Belle Aloe Vera Ultra Moisturising Gel – Full Size 40ml RRP £15.93

Ok, so I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m really rubbish at making an effort to keep myself moisturized. Unless I have a bad skin scare. So I wasn’t sure what I felt when there were 2 moisturizers in this month’s box, which means I have an additional 2 moisturizers that I might never use. But I will definitely make it a point to use it just to review it. The sacrifices one makes…..!!! Plus its aloe vera… so more hydration for the skin.

3. Zerreau Towel Off Shampoo Foam – Full Size 70ml £7.95


I looooove my dry shampoos….mainly cos ever since my little bundle of joy arrived I just don’t get the leisure to wash my hair on a regular basis. I was expecting another dry shampoo but was surprised to get….THE NEXT GENERATION …of dry shampoo, allowing you to wash your hair without water and even remove product. How posh must one be to wash one's hair…without a drop of water!!! It sounds like a product The Avengers might use and you know the Hulk definitely needs some.

Again another 20% off your next Glossybox by visting www.festivalshampoo.com
.

4. SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate – Sample Size 30ml – Actual price RRP £12 for 100 ML


Ok so this is something I have always thought of buying. The SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate is the perfect treat for your skin post-shave or wax. With your salicylic acid and fruit enzymes, it ensures that ingrown hairs are a thing of the past. And guess what …more aloe Vera!!

 
5. Philosophy renewed hope in a jar refreshing & refining moisturizer. –Sample Size 7 ml - Actual price RRP £35.50 for 60ml

So another moisturizer, I have heard and read lot about this in most mags and blogs but with 7ml I’m sure I will be done with it by the end of the week. It says it works to reduce the effects of environmental attack, from pollution to harsh weather to the London Transport System …..ok I added the last bit. But another offer with £7.50 off at boots.com when you buy a philosophy moisturiser or eye cream jar.

My Verdict

This month’s box was ok in my books but it could be just down to me never having a chance to use some of them so any excuse to use these new products and review them .But for the actual prices, this is definitely a bargain. This month’s box boasts four full sized products which totals up to a value of around £38.57. Overall, 3/5.
