As well as Beauteque unveiling their exciting new monthly subscription bag this month, they have also kick started the year with the new limited edition Head to Toe Milk Bag which is available now to buy as an one off purchase. The Head to Toe Milk Bag contains an impressive beauty overhaul from skin loving treats to some innovative milk sponges, all based around the key ingredient milk. The likes of Egyptian goddess Cleopatra was renowned throughout history for her radiant skin and her stunning beauty, and was known to bathe in milk to keep her skin soft and supple. As well as it’s beautifying properties , milk also has healing properties that repairs sun damaged skin, prevents premature aging, and also provides abundant nutrients for a youthful look.
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 come presented in a black and white checked make-up bag which really complements the theme. This edit contans seven full sized products covering all aspects of beauty and as with all of the Beauteque Bags there was a little customisation available too which is a feature I really like. I love the illustration of the cute cow on the information card which has it’s very own Beauteque Bell around it’s neck!
1. Secret Key Milk Brightening Toner – Full Size 248ml RRP £11.65
There’s a very generous sized brightening toner inside the bag by Secret Key.
The toner contains an abundant mix of vitamins, minerals and ions which aids the skins immunity along with the vitamins and minerals from milk to provide the skin with nutrients and moisture. As well as it’s moisturising and brightening properties, it’s also balances the skin’s oil making it ideal for all skin types.
The liquid itself looks like milk watered down and smells really pleasant with a floral fragrance. This feels really refreshing on the skin and didn’t make my skin feel dry or tight in the slightest. It’s contains no alcohol either making it skin friendly too.
2. Skinfood Green Tea Milk Cleansing Foam – Full Size 150ml RRP £7.36
I’m on a quest at the moment to really shake up my cleansing regime this year and this cleanser arrived at the perfect time. Out of the two options available I chose the Green Tea (Fresh) Milk Cleansing foam which is suitable for oily and combination skin. The other option which is also available is Wild Berry which is more suited for dry skin types.
The green tea cleansing foam is enriched with green tea extracts, a powerful antioxidant that protects skin against free radical-damage and smooth milk extracts to provide gentle exfoliation by buffing away dead skin cells for smoother and glowing skin.
The gentle formula is pretty creamy and it lathers up really well even when using a tiny amount. It did leave my skin feeling fresh and clean however it wasn’t that effective in removing a full face of make-up which resulted in a double cleanse. I think this would be more suited for the mornings for a quick refresh.
3. Secret key Milk Whipping Hand Cream – Full Size RRP £3.98
I love hand creams and was happy to welcome another product from the Secret Key collection.
Out of the two options available I chose the Secret Key Milk Hand Cream instead of the Somang hand cream.
This hand cream contains donkey milk which is rich in essential fatty acids, minerals and nutrients. The cream has a light weight and oil-free texture and sinks into the skin effortlessly leaving your hands soft, replenished and moisturised. The scent is really pleasant too with subtle floral notes. This is a great hand cream especially for the months of winter.
4. Skinfood Shea Butter Milk Lip Balm – Full Size RRP £4.29
I’ve been reaching out for lip balms more frequently recently and this one in particular is quite impressive with it’s creamy and super-moisturising shea butter formula. This really works wonders on dry chapped lips.
5. Skinfood Milk Creamy Nail Polish – Full Size RRP £5.21
This little nail varnish which comes in a milk bottle is utterly cute and is the star product inside this bag. There is a good choice of colours available and from the selection I chose mint which is the perfect pastel shade for Spring.
As well as the adorable bottle which I love, the formula applies opaque within two coats which is normal for a pastel shade. I’ve not tried any nail varnishes from Skinfood so it will be interesting to see what the longevity is like.
6. 3W Clinic Milk Mask – Full Size RRP £1.84
There were two mask choices available, I chose the 3W milk mask instead of the Somang Milk Mask.
This is a sheet mask which I absolutely love, it contains milk and protein extract which leaves the skin smooth and moisturised. The instructions advise to pop this into the fridge first for an ultimate cooling effect which sounds appealing just on it’s own.
7. Milk Wash Off Sponge – Full Size x2 sponges RRP £6.13
Lastly inside the milk bag is a pack of two gentle exfoliating milk sponges which slough away dead skin cells in the most delicate approach. You simply add some cleanser and water to the sponge ensuring that it’s completely soaked through and use it in circular motions on your face. As well as removing dirt and grime it also massages, stimulates tired skin and encourages skin renewal. I’m looking forward to trying these over the weekend.
My Verdict
I really love this bag which Beauteque have carefully curated, it contains a great variety of milk themed products which covers all things beauty from skincare treats to an adorable nail varnish. As with all of their themed bags, Beauteque they have hit the nail on the head from the presentation to the contents within which is something they never appear to fail on. The bag boasts seven full sized products which are all very usable, very good sized and even included well known Korean brands. The aspect I like about the Beauteque Bags is that they offer some personalisation too which allows you to choose products from different variations and the remainder of what you receive is a complete surprise. I’ve had a few tasters of the Beauteque Bags and they are definitely a company who get it right each time.
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 this bag has a value of £40.46 beating the cost of the bag which works out around £20.82 including shipping. It’s a small price to pay to discover Korean brands which aren’t available in the UK to buy.
