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.
