The November 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and this month’s shortlist features a selection of gift-worthy treats which didn’t disappoint. I only wish I could of picked more than two products!

To see the November Shortlist please click here

You Beauty Discovery have changed the process of the shortlist menu go live time. The selection menu is now available on the 1st of the month from 7.00am as opposed to previously where you could choose from midnight.

“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.

 My box included 2 products of my choice from the shortlist and three extra treats in the form of Aduna Baobab Superfruit Powder and 2 sample sachets of Merumaya Cleansing Balm and Iconic Youth Serum. 

1. Invisibobble  – Full Size (3 in a pack) RRP £3.75

I was delighted to see that this month’s shortlist featured my all time favourite hair tie The Invisibobble. I received a pack of these in a previous box and not only is this bobble my hairs best friend it’s also very effective and doesn’t break the hair.

The Invisibobble which is available in various colours is a traceless hair tie which leaves no kinks or marks in your hair. It is also kind to your hair and helps to avoid split ends. I have hair extensions and these are great for keeping my hair tied without any pulling. I tie my hair before I go sleep to ensure my extensions don’t matt and tangle, it does the job perfectly and in the morning the Invisibobble still remains in my hair unlike others which simply just fall out.

2.  Rituals Hammam Delight Shower Foam – Travel Size 50ml RRP £4.00

With the colder season I love reaching out for more indulgent shower gels to make the bathing experience more warming and pampering.

The Rituals Hamman Shower Foam is a unique gel-to-foam technology which transforms it’s gel into a rich relaxing foam. It promises to transform your own bathroom into a true Hammam with it’s infusion of aromatic and revitalising qualities of refreshing Eucalyptus and Rosemary.

As with all Ritual products I’ve tried this smells utterly divine with it’s refreshing and invigorating notes. It’s the perfect shower companion for the wintery days and nights.

3. Extra Samples within the box:

This month, You Beauty Discovery have included a sachet of Aduna Baobab Superfruit Powder which is a rich source of vitamin c, contains 50% fibre and is high in antioxidants which are key supplements as we approach winter which is also known for the dreaded cold and flu spell. The powder can be blended into a smoothie or sprinkled onto cereal, porridge or yoghurt.

There’s also two sachet samples of the Merumaya Cleansing Balm and Iconic Youth Serum. Maleka Dattu, founder of  Merumaya has created an evolutionary range of evidence based skincare designed to help prevent, while reducing existing signs of skin ageing; similar in concept only, to Integrative Health.

My Verdict

The November gift-worthy shortlist showcases a great balance of products this month and I am extremely happy with my picks which included my all time favourite hair saviour, the Invisibobble and a lovely indulgent treat from Rituals.

The value of my box is worth £7.75 which is slightly less than usual however it includes great beauty essentials for me.

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.
