This may not look like a beauty box in appearance but in theory this has the exact concept and feel and comes presented in a pretty pink make up bag as opposed to a box . Welcome to the September 2014 edition of the BB Bag by Beauteque.

Beauteque in a nutshell is two words, beauty and boutique and they are an online retailer specialising in Korean Beauty products. The products that they offer are unique high end products that aren’t readily available in the UK and and to name a few, they showcase brands such as Etude House, Mizon, Tony Moly, and Lioele.

The BB Bag, known as the Beauteque Bag which at the moment is released bi-monthly is a beauty bag which contains 5-6 Korean beauty products and they ship to the UK and other parts of the world too. The good news is they are planning to launch their BB Bag on a monthly basis from January 2015.

The BB Bag 2 is the second edition which has been released and is worth around $85 (£44.41) in value this month with 6 full sized products. September’s bag also has a little twist as you can pick 3 products of your choice.

1. Skin Food – Real Eyelashes Daily No. 1- Full Size RRP £3.04

Out of the three options available I opted for the daily type of lashes.

The individual lashes are layered across one another and are flair out towards the end which is different to the lashes I currently own. The way these are structured are great for evenings out as opposed to daily wear. These would certainly be way too glamorous for the day!

2. Holika Holika Acerola Cleansing Foam – Full Size RRP £3.66

There were three options available in this cleanser depending on your skin type and I received Acerola.

Acerola achieves vibrant skin that appears full of vitamins! The rich multifruit BSC, amino acids and vitamin of acerola have anti-aging effects to re-energize fatigued skin. This is a foam cleanser that creates vibrant, supple skin.

3. It’s SKIN Mini tint gloss – Full Size 8g RRP £2.38

There were 3 colours available in the lip gloss tint and I opted for the pink being a fan of all things pink.

This teeny lip tint gloss moisturises and adds a sheer tint of natural colour which is very subtle. The scent is incredibly fruity too!

4. The Face Shop Modeling Patch Cherry Cherry Lips – Full Size RRP £3.35

I’ve seen these super cute lip patches appear in various Korean boxes and was happy to finally be in possession of one.

The patch is applied for 20 minutes and it’s aim is to make the lips soft and plump. Inside the patch contains soft jelly which is made with cranberry extract to nourish, moisturise and keep the lips hydrated.

5. Beauteque Minerals Exfoliating Brush – Full Size RRP £21.00

This cute travel-sized brush is a nice addition to the BB Bag and to the touch, is the softest facial brush I have come across. The brush is very gentle on the skin making it suitable for all skin types.

The brush is certainly a showstopper and it’s my favourite within the bag. I can’t wait to add this brush to my cleansing routine but in the meantime I’m happy to just admire it!

6. Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream – Full Size RRP £10.98

Whilst snails are a delicacy in the France it appears to have hit the beauty industry like a storm and has been hailed as the latest beauty wonder product promising great skin benefits.

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream is a cult favorite from Korea. This multi-tasking, lightweight moisturiser is formulated with 74% snail extract which is cruelty free and an all-natural way to get soft, rejuvenated skin. This fast-absorbing gel sinks in quickly for hydrated, clear skin with improved vitality.

My Verdict

This is my first introduction to the BB Bag and in my opinion they have selected a good variety of products from skincare to make-up from well known Korean brands. I like that I was able to customise a few options and the remainder was a complete mystery. It was also nice that the contents came enclosed within a make up bag instead of a box.

Inside the box is also a product card which is in English so you won’t be lost in translation!

The entire contents within the BB Bag are all full sized and has a value of £44.41 beating the cost of the box which works out around £18.29 including shipping. It’s a small price to pay to discover these hidden gems and there no silly little samples in sight!

I look forward to seeing the next edition of the BB Bag which will be released in November 2014.
