www.youbeautydiscovery.co.uk

The September 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and this month they celebrate their 1st Birthday in style with another fantastic menu.

“You Beauty Discovery” is a monthly beauty subscription service. The box consists of 2 selected hair, make-up and beauty products from well-known and new brands and they also include 2-3 bonus samples. Unlike the other subscription boxes you get to choose two products of your choice from a diverse selection menu each month.

This month’s selection menu had a great variety to chose from which made the decision process even harder. You really can’t fault this beauty box as it’s incredibly good value for money. It’s not surprising that on the 3rd September majority of the products had already sold out which is a first since I’ve been subscribed especially in that time frame!

My box included 2 full sized products of my choice, Toni & Guy Volume Plumping whip (Birthday bonus), 2 Crabtree and Evelyn tea bags, £25.00 Hello Fresh Gift Card and a You beauty discovery make-up sponge.

To see September’s selection menu please click here

1. Wild About Beauty Nutrilips Colour Lipstick SPF15 – Full Size RRP £15.00

It was only recently that I was introduced to this brand which is owned by Louise Rednapp along with make up artist Kim Jacob and I instantly fell in love with the pretty packaging and the quality.

I received the shade Bobbie which is a nude colour but not a naked nude it’s more of a brown tone. This light weight nourishing lipstick gives a subtle hint of colour and a natural glossy finish. It’s infused with added beneficial ingredients and SPF protection which is super moisturising when applied.

I’m not a fan of nude colours and whilst a lot of people rave about them I am yet to the find the perfect nude shade for my skin tone. This isn’t the nudest of nudes and I quite like the colour which is wearable and perfect for the upcoming Autumn months.

2. Mavala Mavadry Time-Save Fast Drying Nail Finish – Full Size 5ml RRP £6.75

The Mavala fast drying nail coat definitely stood out for me this month in the selection menu this month mainly because I’m so inpatient when it comes to drying time and being such a fidget I am prone to smudging my nails even before they have dried and there’s nothing more frustrating to find you have smudged a perfect paint job.

This top coat dries in a few seconds and prevents flaking and enhances the nail colour too giving a lovely sheen. The Mavala Mavadry Nail Polish Dryer dries your polish instantaneously. It also reduces chipping and prevents smearing and smudging.

I can’t believe how quick my nails dried with this formula it’s pretty impressive and really brightened up the colour of the varnish.

I will no longer be waving my hands in the air to dry my nails thanks to this incredible formula. This is a revolutionary breakthrough for me and most importantly it’s a time saver and I can get on with chores without worrying about my nails.

3. Tony & Guy Volume Plumping Whip – Full Size 90ml RRP £7.00

This is a Birthday bonus item in this month’s box which all subscribers will receive.

LuLu Kennedy, one of the most influential names on the British fashion scene and the founder of Fashion East has helped TONI & GUY dress up four best selling products including the Glamour Volume Plumping Whip which creates all-day body and bounce from the roots, without flyaways.

This smells really nice and the formula isn’t sticky. You apply a walnut sized amount to towel dried hair before heat styling.

4. Extra Samples within the box:

You Beauty Discovery have been quite generous this month with their extra samples including two tea bag samples from the Crabtree and Evelyn collection, £25 Hello Fresh Gift card and a make up sponge.

My Verdict

You Beauty Discovery celebrate their 1st Birthday in style with another fantastic menu and I’m really happy with my box. This month’s menu had a great variety to chose from which made the decision process even harder. You really can’t fault this beauty box as it’s incredibly good value for money.

My box this month’s contained 3 full sized products and 4 extra samples.

The value of my box is worth £28.75 which is more than the price of the box itself. This month I’ve discovered the amazing Mavadry top coat which works incredibly well and is such a time saver. I only wished that I was introduced to this sooner.

The magazine contained within the box includes various discount codes for all of the brands which have been featured this month which is great if you want to buy further products.

“You Beauty Discovery” impresses me every month. I always look forward to seeing their menu at the start of the month. Their wide selection of products in their menu has something for everyone and to date I’ve not been disappointed once . This box is a complete steal for £6.95 and worth every penny.

You Beauty Discovery Box Review – August 2014

Price of the Box is £6.95 including P&P
No of Products in the Box – 6 items
Total value of contents in the box £12.20
www.youbeautydiscovery.co.uk

The August 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and the theme this month is Summer Essentials and mainly focuses on skincare and protecting yourself in the Sun.

“You Beauty Discovery” is a monthly beauty subscription service. The box consists of 2 selected hair, make-up and beauty products from well-known and new brands and they also include 2-3 bonus samples. Unlike the other subscription boxes you get to choose two products of your choice from a diverse selection menu each month.

I wasn’t overly excited about this month’s selection menu compared to the previous months mainly because a lot of the items just wasn’t suitable for my skin type, instead I went for the safer option and chose both of the nail varnishes. You really can’t fault this beauty box as it’s incredibly good value for money. The most popular items such as the Gazzeli duo and the hair masque all sold out within 24 hours. You have to super quick with this selection menu as the popular items are always sold out by the morning.

This month’s box included 2 full sized products of my choice, 2 Jimmy Choo perfume samples, 1 skincare sample and a You beauty discovery 4-way nail buffer.

To see August’s selection menu please click here

1. Peggy Sage Nail Varnishes from the Nude and Summer Collection – Full Size 100ml RRP £6.10 each

A girl can never have too many nail varnishes in fact I don’t think I have enough! That’s my excuse when I get moaned at for having too many.

These nail varnishes really stood out for me mainly because it’s a brand I haven’t been introduced to and when researched there’s only a handful of stockists in the UK who sell these.

Peggy Sage provide’s elevating nail care to a whole new creative process and is based in Llandudno and their collection has a wide range of pretty shades and textured nail varnishes.

I received Sunny Sweetie from their Summer collection which is a vibrant pink shade and Nude Poudre from their nude collection which is a lovely light mocha shade.

The formula of these nail varnishes apply like a dream and one coat is enough for a non sheer colour. The drying time is relatively quick and promises to last for up to 6 days depending on the colour – average hold is 4 days. It also claims to retain its shine for up to 4 days.

I’m really tempted to try their textured range and You Beauty Discovery have included a generous 20% off discount code to redeem against any of the Peggy Sage nail varnishes.

For more information on the Peggy Sage range please click here

2. You Beauty Discovery 4-Way Nail Buffer.

This month see’s the inclusion of a 4-way nail buffer as a bonus treat which is great for when you’re on the go and is the ideal size to fit into your handbag.

3. Jimmy Choo Perfume Vial for Men and Women and FaceD 3-Luronics Face Cream Serum Sample

You Beauty Discovery have been quite generous this month with their extra samples including two perfume samples and a face serum sachet.

My Verdict

Once again I am happy with my You Beauty Discovery selections this month and whilst August’s selection menu wasn’t as exciting as previous months you really can’t fault this beauty box as it’s incredibly good value for money and gives you the opportunity to try products without the hefty price tag. The most popular items such as the Gazzeli duo and the hair masque all sold out within 24 hours. You have to super quick with this selection menu as the popular items always sell out by the morning.

My box this month’s contained 2 full sized products (chosen by me) and 4 extra samples.

The contents within my box is worth £12.20 which is more than the price of the box itself. This month doesn’t see that much of an increased value compared to previous boxes however I’ve discovered Peggy Sage who has a wonderful collection of good quality nail varnishes and I will definitely be purchasing a few more.

The magazine contained within the box includes various discount codes for all of the brands which have been featured this month which is great if you want to buy further products.

“You Beauty Discovery” impresses me every month. I always look forward to seeing their menu at the start of the month. Their wide selection of products in their menu has something for everyone and to date I’ve not been disappointed once . This box is a complete steal for £6.95 and worth every penny.

You Beauty Discovery Box Review – July 2014

Price of the Box is £6.95 including P&P
No of Products in the Box – 5 items
Total value of contents in the box £34.99
www.youbeautydiscovery.co.uk

The July 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and they really kept us waiting this month to reveal the items on their selection menu. The theme this month was “You Travel” – dedicated to beauty and skincare travel essentials.

“You Beauty Discovery” is a monthly beauty subscription service. The box consists of 2 selected hair, make-up and beauty products from well-known brands and new brands and they also include 2-3 bonus samples. Unlike the other subscription boxes you get to choose two products of your choice from a good selection menu each month.

I wasn’t overly excited about this month’s selection menu compared to the last two months but none the less you really can’t fault this beauty box. The most popular items such as the tan, the oil and the Shampoo & Conditioner duo all sold out within 24 hours. You have to super quick with this box not to mention battling with their website!

This month’s box included 1 full sized product, 1 travel sized duo set and 3 sample sized products which consisted of mainly body products.

For more information on what was available on the selection menu please click here

1. Tan Organic Arganic Body Oil – Full Size 100ml RRP £24.99

Initially when looking at this I assumed this went hand in hand with the Tan Organic Self Tan however whilst it accompanies the self-tan it’s also a multipurpose dry oil made with an unique blend of natural plant oils with a subtle fragrance of roses which can be used on hair, nails, body and on scars and stretchmark’s.

I love the way this oil has a silky texture and is not greasy when dried. The scent isn’t overpowering either.

A great potion which has several uses for home or away.

2. L’Occitane Aromachology Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner Duo – Travel Size 75ml each RRP £10.00 for both

I have never tried any L’Occitane products despite walking past many of their stores and ogling at their window displays!

Thanks to You Beauty Discovery I am longer a stranger to this brand. This came in a duo set which consisted of both the shampoo and conditioner in the Aromachology repairing range.

Each of these is formulated with a natural complex of 5 essential oils and helps repair dry, damaged or colour treated hair.

These smell quite luxurious and the bottle sizes are a good size too at 75ml.

3. Dove Pro Moisture Shave Cream – Sample Size

In case you were wondering I did not chose this product it was provided by You Beauty Discovery as an extra sample this month!

It’s a men’s product which is applied before shaving. My husband happily took this off my hands!

4. Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream – Sample Sachet

I’ve seen this around quite a bit and it’s a celebrity favourite all-purpose skin balm with super moisturising benefits combined with the healing powers of six natural ingredients.

This is a sample sachet which I’ve emptied into a pot to keep in my handbag. It’s always useful to keep an all-purpose balm in your bag.

5. Agent Provocateur Fatale Eau De Parfum – Sample Vial

This speaks seduction and sexy as soon as you see the packaging. Fatale is a new fragrance and contains a striking blend of Madagascan Pink Pepper A sexy, addictive Floriental, the fragrance opens with a striking blend of Madagascan Pink Pepper, succulent Mango and Blackcurrant. The voluptuous floral heart seduces with Gardenia, Orris Absolute, and sweet, smoky Indonesian Patchouli. An addictive base of sensual Skin Musk, Vanilla Orchid, Chocolate Spanish Labdanum complete the fragrance.

This smells amazing and something which I would certainly wear. It has a very sweet scent which is what I normally look for in a perfume. This lasted well too. Definitely one for the wish list.

My Verdict

Once again I am happy with my You Beauty Discovery Box this month and whilst July’s selection wasn’t as exciting as the previous months you really can’t fault this beauty box. The most popular items such as the tan, the oil and the Shampoo & Conditioner duo all sold out within 24 hours. You have to super quick with this box not to mention battling with their website to order your items.

My box this month’s contained 1 full sized product, 1 travel set duo (chosen by me) and 3 bonus samples.

The contents within my box is worth an amazing £34.99 – more than the price of the box itself!

“You Beauty Discovery” impresses me every month. I always look forward to seeing their menu at the start of the month. Their wide selection of products in their menu has something for everyone . This box is a complete steal for £6.95 and worth every penny.

You Beauty Discovery Box Review – June 2014

Price of the Box is £6.95 including P&P
No of Products in the Box – 4 items
Total value of contents in the box £20.98
www.youbeautydiscovery.co.uk

The June 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and once again I’m certainly not disappointed. You Beauty Discovery’s theme this month is Beauty Hero’s.

“You Beauty Discovery” is a monthly beauty subscription service. The box consists of 2 selected hair, make-up and beauty products from well-known brands and new brands and they also include 2-3 bonus samples. Unlike the other subscription boxes you get to choose two products of your choice from a good selection menu.

June’s selection wasn’t as exciting as last month but none the less I was impressed and this month I decided to be sensible and choose products which I would use on a day to day basis.

For more information on what was available on the selection menu please click here

1. L’Oreal Paris – Infallible 24H Lip Colour (110 TIMELESS ROSE) and (121 FLAWLESS FUSCHIA) – Full Size RRP £9.99

Finally some make-up on the You Beauty Discovery selection menu! I’m currently going through a lipstick buying frenzy at the moment (maybe a crisis!) and trying all sorts of brands and colours so this was timed very well and yes I chose both of the lipsticks available!

L’Oréal Paris Color Infallible Lipstick is their first Lip-Duo with Hyaluronic gel. It claims to make your lips feel smooth, hydrating and a non fading colour all day.

This certainly has a strong staying power I was actually having problems trying to take it off to a point where I ended up going to sleep with bright pink lips – it seriously would not budge! It’s quite moisturising and didn’t dry out my lips like others which I have previously tried.

The Timeless Rose Colour was quite subtle and definitely a colour I would wear during the day however the flawless fuschia was quite bright however a great lipstick for nights out.

I love these lipsticks and I definitely made the right choice this month.

Here are the colours: Top Picture – Timeless Rose. Bottom Picture – Flawless Fuschia

2. Montagne Jeunesse Dead Sea Mud Mask – Full Size Sachet RRP £1.00

I’ve only tried a few of these in the past and they are good masks and great value for money.

This mask is nutrient rich in seaweed and kelp and is a boost for thirsty skin which penetrates deep into the pores and draws out impurities.

These are great for a quick pampering session.

3. Expandable Face Cloth – Full Size

I love the cuteness of this product – its wrapped in a heart shape what’s not to love!

However there is more to it – it magically expands into a full sized cloth when in warm water.

I love facial cloths they come in useful for removing facial cleansers, masks, make-up and exfoliaters.

This has been designed by You Beauty Discovery – a great little bonus in the box

My Verdict

Once again I am happy with my You Beauty Discovery Box this month and whilst June’s selection wasn’t as exciting as last month none the less I was impressed. This month I decided to be sensible and choose products which I would use on a day to day basis. I love the extra samples included this month too.

My box this month’s contained 2 full sized products (chosen by me) and 2 great bonus samples.

This box is a complete steal for £6.95 and worth every penny. You Beauty Discovery is a very good example of what a beauty box should be in every form.

It appears that they have also increased their stock levels as most of their items are still available unlike previous months where popular items immediately went out of stock in the morning.

Next month’s You Beauty Discovery’s theme is”You Travel” – dedicated to beauty and skincare travel essentials.
