The BB Bag 3 is the third edition which Beauteque released in November and this edit contains a mixture of skincare products and a lifestyle item in the form of a pretty scarf which will certainly come in useful this winter. The bag contains six full sized products with a value of around £40.02. As with all of the BB Bags there is also an opportunity for customisation where you can choose variations of some of the products and the remainder is a complete surprise, a concept which I really like about Beauteque.
The BB Bag, known as the Beauteque Bag which at the moment is released bi-monthly is a beauty bag containing 5-6 Korean beauty products ranging from skincare, make up, hair and bodycare along with a lifestyle item or a beauty tool. The good news is Beauteque have launched their BB Bag on a monthly basis as of the 26th December, the full details are available here.
Beauteque in a nutshell is two words, beauty and boutique and they are an online retailer specialising in Korean Beauty products. They offer 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 contents always come presented in a bag as opposed to a box and are re-usable too, they are great for traveling or weekend breaks. The BB Bag 3 comes in vibrant yellow make-up bag and features mainly skincare products along with a pretty lifestyle item in the form of a scarf.
1. Mizon White Sleeping Mask – Full Size 50ml RRP £7.36
The Mizon’s Good Night White Sleeping Mask is an overnight treatment which claims to improve skin tone and builds protection against moisture loss to nourish and balance skin while you’re sleeping to give you bright, hydrated and radiant skin when you wake up. It’s formulated with natural extracts, including soothing lavender and mulberry and is suitable for all skin types especially those with dull skin and uneven skin tone.
This sounds like a great overnight treatment which is essential for this time of the year especially if you’re skin is all partied out.
2. Mizon Collagen Power Firming Eye Cream – Full Size 10ml RRP £10.12
This Mizon eye cream contains 42% of highly concentrated marine collagen to fight and lift wrinkles around the eyes and claims to restores elasticity to the skin by promoting skin regeneration. It also contains natural ingredients such as adenosine, argan oil and hyaluronic acid. The formula is free from alcohol, fragrance, parabens and colouring.
I’ve been using this for a few days now and whilst it applies very smoothly it doesn’t absorb fast into the skin and almost leaves a film by forming a barrier to lock in moisture. The skin around my eyes feel much hydrated and softer. This would work really well for those who have dry patches under the eye area.
3. It’s Skin Green Tea Lips & Eye Cleansing Pads – Full Size RRP £8.28
With all the late nights recently I’ve been a little lazy when it comes to removing my make up. It’s the worst chore to come home to when you simply just want to go to bed! These fuss-free cleansing pads will certainly come in handy for a quick swipe before bed with minimum effort!
These pads are infused with a gentle formula which eliminate dirt, oil and make-up whilst leaving the skin calm and soothed with it’s green tea extract.
There’s a generous amount of pads within the tub and they are super moist too with a light scented fragrance.
4. Cosmos Facial Blotting Tissue – Full Size RRP £3.68
You were able to choose the type of blotting tissues from five options. I received the Natural and Fresh pack which contains 100 blotting papers.
These blotting papers are fragrance free and gently eradicate excess oil and mattify the skin such as the nose, chin and forehead by simply blotting or wiping the area. Inside the pack is a clever little sticky pad which picks up each paper.
I have oily skin and these are great for keeping in your make up bag or handbag for on the go touch ups to keep your face shine-free.
5. The Face Shop Blackhead Out Aloe Nose Strips – 5 Strips RRP £3.22
The Face Shop Blackhead Out Aloe Nose Strip which comes in a pack of five removes blackheads with it’s strong blackhead and oily secretion absorption properties. It also contains pore minimising ingredients and leaves your nose feeling tight and smooth.
Fortunately I don’t suffer from blackheads however I’ve got a few family members who do and will be putting these to the test when they come and visit!
6. Beauteque Scarf – RRP £7.36
One of the aspects I love about the Beauteque bags is that they also include either a lifestyle item or a beauty tool making the discovery not just lotions and potions.
This edit includes a scarf and out of the two options available I opted for the floral one which has a beautiful colourful print. The quality is really good too and is perfect for brightening up any winter outfit.
My Verdict
I really like the BB Bag 3 edition which showcases a good variety of skincare products and a lifestyle item. All of the items are usable and features well-known Korean brands. I like that I was able to customise a few options too and the remainder was a complete surprise. There’s a great selection of skin pick me ups and essentials in this bag, all of which have arrived at the right time for at me where my skin is a little partied out!
Inside the box is also a product card which is in English so you won’t be lost in translation. Each product within the bag is listed on the card along with a brief description and the value.
The entire contents within the BB Bag are all full sized with a value of £40.02 beating the cost of the bag which works out around £18.29 including shipping. It’s a small price to pay to discover Korean brands which aren’t available in the UK.
