With the party season already in full swing, the December box showcases a selection of essential party must-haves, an exclusive-to-Birchbox coin purse designed by Sophia herself and a Benefit cracker with a surprise sample inside.

The content’s of the December Birchbox contents will vary. To see what you may receive please click here

1. Models Own Nail Varnish – Full Size RRP £5.00

I already use and love Models Own nail varnish who have a wide array of darks, neutrals, pastels and glitter based shades within their collection.

Last month all Birchbox subscribers were asked to chose a Model Owns nail varnish out of four sparkly shades from the Velvet Goth collection.

This collection from Models Own is unique in design with a textured velvet lid giving it a very festive look and feel.

Nothing says Christmas more then sparkly bold nails which stand out and glisten. I received the shade Amethyst which is a dashing purple and contains tiny specks of glitter and shimmer. This dries as a matte finish and one coat is simply enough for a complete opaque finish. For a glossier effect a top coat can be applied to transform this nail varnish from matte to shiny. It’s the perfect party shade.

2. Eslor Firming Collagen Day Cream – Sample Size 10ml. Full Size 50ml RRP £50.00

I’ve not even started to look into anti-ageing products and being in my thirties this is a great introduction to ease my way into the anti-ageing range.

This anti-ageing cream from Eslor works to defend our complexion against the effects of ageing. It contains hyrdolyed marine collagen and a whole host of nutrient-rich botanicals work to lock in moisture, restore elasticity, and boost radiance to leave skin looking more youthful. It’s formulated without parabens or skin irritants to leave the skin feeling soothed and replenished.

The tub is really good sized and there’s enough product for at least a few days.

3. Eyeko Fat Stick – Full Size RRP £8.00

I already own a few Eyeko items and was happy to see this eye crayon which is exclusive to Birchbox only.

There are two party-worthy shades available which subscribers can expect to see this month. I received the shade Smoke, which is charcoal-tinged shade perfect for achieving a sultry smoky eye look.

This multi-use eye crayon which has a retractable twist-up applicator can be used as eyeliner or a eye shadow. The creamy texture glides easily when applied and helps to contour and refine the eyes. It’s super pigmented too and can be applied sheer or opaque with it’s easy to blend formula. This crayon also lines the eyes quickly and easily and you can achieve a variety of effects, from a subtle yet precise look, to a more dramatic definition.

I personally would use this to achieve an evening make up look due to the dark shade. This crayon is great when you’re on the go and if you have little time for any beauty prep this is really handy and will keep your regime super simple.

4. Electric Hair Hydrate Shampoo – Sample Size 30ml. Full Size RRP £17.50

The brand Electric Hair is a new discovery for me and is a British brand taking the haircare world by storm and was founded by Mark Woolley.

The Hydrate Shampoo which was a finalist at the hair awards in 2013 is a nourishing, creamy formula packed with moisture-rich ingredients which retains optimum hydration in your hair and intensifies its natural shine.

Winter really sucks the life out of my hair making it dry and unmanageable at times and this sounds amazing for giving your hair an extra boost of moisture.

5. English Laundry Signature For Her Perfume – Sample Size. Full Size RRP £60.00

Having discovered English Laundry via Birchbox at the beginning of the year, it’s a high-end brand which really stands out for me. Their collection contains a selection of unique and luxurious fragrances which are really feminine and smell absolutely divine.

The English Laundry Signature Perfume taps into the very essence of an English country garden with a beautifully fresh fragrance with top notes of rose geranium and creamy white flowers along with woody spicy and musky notes.

I’ve received a sample of this previously and it’s a great perfume for daily wear which really gets noticed. If you’re a fan of sweet scents you will fall in love with this instantly.

6. Benefit Christmas Cracker containing High Beam – Sample Size. Full Size RRP £19.50

This Benefit Christmas Cracker is teeny but it’s so adorable and inside all subscribers can expect to see a sample of the popular Benefit High Beam highlighter. It’s my all time favourite highlighter which gives the perfect finish to any make-up look.

High Beam which is a subtle pink in shade adds a natural glow and really accentuates features such as your brow bone and cheeks with very little effort. It gives you a fresh-faced and wide awake dewy finish which looks very natural and really enhances your make up look.

7. Lifestyle Extra – Sophia Webster Coin Purse – RRP £10.00

I love this months lifestyle extra which is an exclusive to Birchbox coin purse designed by Sophia Webster and all subscribers will receive this within their box.

I’ve stopped carrying a purse recently mainly because I find them bulky and they never seem to hold large amounts of change. Instead the zipped compartment within my bag holds everything from my bank cards to loose change. It’s not ideal and I was certainly happy to see this purse which is the ideal size for day to day. It’s also great to accompany you on a night out when there is limited room in your clutch bag!

My Verdict

This month’s Birchbox is dressed to impress and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the December edit was a collaboration with Sophia Webster. I was expecting a box with a very typical Christmas design however I was delighted that Birchbox upped the game with something more unique and eye catching. This edit without a doubt has stolen the show and will definitely be a crowd pleaser this month.

This month’s box showcases a great beauty line up with all area’s covered. The box features a good balance of products and includes of selection of skincare, make up, perfume, nail varnish, a hair product and a lifestyle extra in the form of a coin purse designed by Sophia Webster.

As well as the striking box design which I absolutely love, the box boasts seven items this month, two of which are full sized and contains a selection of beauty must-haves to get you party ready from well known brands and a couple of new discoveries for me.

I really adore this months box which ticks all the boxes for me. All of the items are very usable and the samples are decent sized too giving you an opportunity to really road test the products.

I’m looking forward to seeing what Birchbox have in store for us in 2015.

The December 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and this month’s Party Prep shortlist featured a selection of beauty fixes and a little sparkle for the festivities ahead. In all honesty I was a little disappointed at this months line up especially with it being the December shortlist. Despite nothing really standing out I opted for practical items which I tend to use on a daily basis.

To see the December 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.

My box included 2 products of my choice from the shortlist and three extra treats in the form of a Lindt Mini Christmas Bear, 2 sachet samples of Le Couvent Des Minimes Hiker’s Foot Healer and a sample sachet of Yardley London Hydrating and Enriching Body Lotion.

1. Colab London & Rio Dry Shampoo Duo – Travel Size 50ml x2 RRP £4.00

I tend to reach out for dry shampoos in between hair washes. They are great for eradicating oil and adding volume to flat lifeless hair.

COLAB is a breakthrough in dry shampoo couture. At the heart of the product is a revolutionary sheer and invisible dry shampoo formula which is available in a range of exquisite fragrances.

It’s created by an inﬂuential collective of beauty insiders, led by Ruth Crilly, international model and founder of beauty and fashion website, ‘A Model Recommends’.

Within this duo set is two different ranges from their collection, both of which smell really nice. London is a classic yet contemporary fragrance of bergamot, musk & magnolia and Rio contains a carnival of tropical notes with papaya, pineapple and a heart of cassis.

I really struggle to find good dry shampoos mainly because I’m dark haired and majority that I’ve tried leave a white powdery residue on my hair which isn’t a pretty sight! Thankfully these are white powder free but unfortunately after a couple of hours my hair looked greasy again. Whilst these didn’t work as well as my all time favourite from Percy and Reed they are budget friendly and left my hair feeling very refreshed and fragranced. I like that the scent lingered for some time too and think these sprays are great for a quick burst of freshness.

2. Halo Eye Make Up Remover Pads – Full Size RRP £1.99

I’m a regular user of eye make up and forever running out of remover so these are very welcomed. The pack contains 30 remover pads which is a generous amount.

The Halo Eye Make Up Remover Pads are hypoallergenic and fragrance free which gently remove make up including waterproof mascara.

These budget friendly pads are really moist and removed all of my make-up effectively and effortlessly. With the pads being slighter larger compared to others I’ve used, one was simply enough for both eyes.

These are ideal for keeping in your handbag or storing as a back-up for when you run out of your usual remover.

3. Extra Samples within the box:

This month, You Beauty Discovery included 2 sachets of Le Couvent Des Minimes Hiker’s Foot Healer cream which help nourish and repair the feet, there was also a sample sachet of Yardley London Hydrating and Enriching Body Lotion which is a light weight cream with a quick drying formula and last but certainly not least is the adorable Lindt Mini Christmas Bear which was utterly yummy and lasted in it’s glory for around five minutes!

My Verdict

I was a little disappointed with this months line up especially with it being the December shortlist. I expected something a little more enticing and with nothing really standing out I opted for practical items which I tend to use on a daily basis. I’m happy with my picks this month and loved the additional bonus treats within the box.

The value of my box is worth £5.99 which is slightly less than usual however it includes great daily beauty essentials which I will make use out of.

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 and whilst this month’s menu was a let down 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.

Price of the Box is £10.00 Plus £3.25 P&P
No. of Products in the Box – 5 items
Total value of contents in the box is £42.28
www.glossybox.co.uk

The December 2014 Glossybox has landed and this month sees the iconic pink box replaced with a collectors edition Christmas box. This months edit comes beautifully presented and wrapped in a special festive box design and boasts four full-sized products out of 5. The box has all areas covered and contains make-up, skincare, a hair product and a must have on -the- spot treatment.

Glossybox already revealed two of the products which you could expect to see inside this month’s box and I was pretty excited about the Belle Pierre Lip and Cheek stain and the Anatomicals day and night spot stick which is certainly an essential SOS must-have for this time of year.

This month’s box covers all aspects of beauty and features brands such as Belle Pierre, Anatomicals, Tresemme, So Susan and SkinPep.

Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription service. The box consists of 4-5 selected hair, make-up , body and nail products from well-known brands and new brands and includes a mixture of full sized and sample products.

1. Bellapierre Cheek and Lip Stain – Full Size 5g RRP £12.99

Last month’s box revealed that all subscribers would be greeted by the Bellapierre lip and cheek stain. I love dual purpose products which not only save space but are great for when you’re on the go too.

This cheek and lip stain has an oil-free formula and is available in two shades, pink and coral. I received the shade Coral which is the shade all subscribers will receive.

The coral shade is very soft making it the perfect everyday color. It’s quite pigmented and I love how it blends effortlessly when applied onto the cheeks and on the lips it gives a natural sheen of colour. This shade really will complement any makeup look and is great for a natural pop of colour during months of winter.

2. Anatomicals Zap Zap Zap Spot Treatment – Full Size 7ml RRP £3.79

I get pretty excited about spot treatments and love trialling new products which claim to keep spots at bay. It’s inevitably I get a few before the dreaded time of the month and with it being the month of partying and dinners I hope to be spot free and picture perfect. That’s wishful thinking on my part but I was pleased to see this on-the-spot treatment pen by Anatomicals which covers spot concerns day and night.

I’m always intrigued by the Anatomicals packaging which is quite funky and you definitely need a sense of humour to appreciate this brand!

The spot pen comes packaged in a lipgloss type tube which is double ended. The clear liquid is for day use and the white formula is for night time use. I’m guessing the night formula is stronger than the day treatment. The key ingredients are tea tree oil and witch hazel and both have a potent scent of green tea, the night one being more stronger.

I’ve using the night treatment for two days now and visually a couple of my spots look less angry, the redness has definitely disappeared and the soreness ceases to exist. I’m really impressed with this budget treatment which works effectively and won’t break the bank balance.

3. So Susan Cosmetics Concealer Quad – Full Size RRP £20.00

This seems to be a repeat as I received this in my June Glossybox and still working my way through it however I love this quad so was happy to receive another as a back up.

This compact contains four concealer shades from lights to darks and cover dark spots, blemishes and minor imperfections and is formulated with virgin marula oil.

I love that this product is diverse and the colours can be mixed together to achieve the perfect near match. This is great if you are looking for light weight coverage which isn’t heavy.

4. SkinPep Hydra Boost Serum – Sample Size 15ml

I’ve not tried anything from the Skinpep range who specialise in advance skincare products.

The key ingredient is this serum is hyaluronic acid and is known for its a powerful moisture-binding ingredient that keeps skin plump, hydrated and youthful. The good news is that this magic ingredient will work for all skin types even the oiliest of skin will benefit.

The serum is really light weight and has a cooling effect on the skin which feels refreshing. Due to the texture I think this would be perfect all year round for a surge of intense moisture.

5. Tresemme Renewal Hair and Scalp Treatment Shots – Full Size Pack RRP £5.50

It’s been years since I’ve used anything from the Tressemme brand as I tend to stick to products which I’m already using and very rarely change brands however these 60 second shots look interesting. The pack contains four treatments which is a good amount to really road test the product.

These treatment shots instantly helps nourish the scalp and renew the hair, leaving it beautiful from start to finish. With tea tree extract and sunflower seed oil this salon quality formula helps nourish the scalp at the surface cellular level, leaving hair 3 times stronger.

I like that the treatment is only left on for 60 seconds perfect for a quick fix and an instant boost of moisture. I look forward to trying these out.

My Verdict

I think we all expect a little more cheer and sparkle in our beauty boxes during the month of December and whilst this months edit didn’t particularly excite me apart from the Bella Pierre, Anatomicals, I think you will agree that all of the products are very practical and usable covering all areas of beauty this month. It’s also impressive that four out of five products were full sized with a value of £42.28. I love the festive design which gave the box a very Christmasy look and feel.

I’m wowed by the Anatomicals spot treatment which surprisingly works amazingly well and I’m really pleased with the Belle Pierre lip and cheek stain which gives a flattering pop of colour with a very natural finish.

Glossybox always include some full sized products which bumps up the value of the box so it’s a great affordable way to discover and trial products from well known and new brands.

January Spoiler Alert – All subscribers will receive a full size revitalising toner containing aloe vera, chamomile and calendula from the natural brand Kueshi.

Glossybox Christmas Offer:

www.lookfantastic.com

After the success and the great response of last months box which was my all time favourite from Look Fantastic I couldn’t wait to unveil the December 2014 edition which to no surprise even tops last month’s box in my opinion. Look Fantastic have pulled out all the stops with this showstopper edit which boasts seven products this month. The line-up covers all areas and includes a variety of skincare essentials, an innovative hair comb and make up must-haves for creating the perfect smokey eye look for the party season upon us.There’s also a bottle of Gold Collagen supplement for boosting your inner beauty too.

Look Fantastic have taken the plunge and bring you their very own monthly beauty box. Known for providing all things beauty from A-Z via their website if anyone could successfully pull this off it’s certainly them being experts in this trade already. With over 14,000 products online from more than 400 brands across hair, make up, skin care, nails, electrical, fragrance, health , home and organic it was inevitable that this beauty box was going to deliver and be a hit as soon as it landed. Really isn’t a surprise that these continually sell out when launched.

The box offers a selection of handpicked, must have beauty fixes wrapped in a beautifully presented box and delivered straight to your door. The beauty box will always include a minimum of six products and offers a selection of skincare, haircare, cosmetic and body products, catering to every kind of beauty lover.

This month’s box is filled with an incredible 7 beauty items which have been carefully selected and showcases well known and premium brands such as Murad, Elemis, Ole Henriksen, Lord and Berry, Bourjois, Gold Collagen and Macadamia.

1. Macadamia Healing Oil Infused comb -Full Size RRP £6.00

Whilst I’ve seen many reviews of the Macadamia haircare range I’ve not tried any of their products and was happy to be introduced to this innovative comb which claims to smooth, condition and detangle your hair whilst combing your hair.

The Macadamia Natural Oil Infused Comb is a unique detangling comb which treats hair whilst you style. This special resin comb is infused with with Macadamia Natural Oil’s Healing Oil, allowing the hair to be treated every time you comb. Hair is easily detangled, whilst the oil is distributed evenly to nourish, moisturise and add shine and smoothness.

I used this comb on washed hair and after blow drying my hair and it simply glided through without any pulling or tugging, although I didn’t really notice any additional shine or softness to my hair it managed to un-tangle my hair effortlessly. With it being oil based I automatically assumed that this would leave my hair feeling greasy and surprisingly there wasn’t a trace of oil.

Winter is my hairs worst enemy and trying to keep my hair extensions tangle-free is some what of a challenge. This comb is the perfect solution for when I’m on the go and easily fits into my handbag.

2. Lord & Berry Silk Kajal Kohl Eyeliner – Travel Size

Eyeliners play a huge role in my daily make-up regime and was happy to receive another as a back-up. This one is more of a travel sized liner which is great for when your traveling light or when space is very limited in your make-up bag.

I tend to reach out for kohl liners as they tend to be more creamy allowing smoother application and the colour pay off usually has more depth and pigment.

I currently own this liner by Lord & Berry and it glides onto the water line effortlessly. I find that this also works incredibly well on the eyelid too for creating a smokey eye look. Although the longevity isn’t great I find that using a primer tends to set the liner much better.

This liner is also ophthalmologically-tested and gentle enough to be used on the inner eye, perfect for those who have sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

3. Bourjois Intense Smoky Palette – Full Size RRP £7.99

Dark smokey eyes are my favorite make up look during the winter. The Bourjois palette features 2 eye-catching eyeshadows, a dark plum base and a shimmery grey shade with has a pearl finish perfect for creating refined, bold smoky effects. Within the palette is also a cream liner designed to give structure to the eyes and provides an extra touch of intensity to the eyeshadow and comes in a purple shade. The palette also comes with a double ended applicator, a sponge tip and a small liner brush.

These are very easy blend however I found that a sponge applicator worked better in picking these up as opposed to a brush. All three colors in the palette have amazing pigmentation and look really flattering when combined together and can be used wet or dry depending on the intensity

On the back of the packaging you’ll find professional makeup artist tips that give you step by step instructions to help you achieve a classic smoky eye. Although it’s pretty small, it’s perfect to accompany you when you’re on the go or traveling.

4. Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel – Sample Size 15ml.

This Papaya Enzyme Peel by Elemis has won the Harper’s Bazaar Best Peel in the past and is formulated to brighten and promote skin cell renewal. It’s natural plant extracts work to soothe, repair and protect your skin from environmental pollutants and daily stresses. Enriched with natural exfoliating extracts of Papaya and Pineapple which smooth your skin and is full of antioxidant Vitamins to nourish and protect your complexion.

Unlike most masks this feels more like a gel/serum. It’s quite thick but applies easily and evenly and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. The scent is deliciously fruity and isn’t intrusive. I left it on for about 15 minutes and washed it off with lukewarm water. I really thought this was a peel off mask which I was looking quite forward to! Nonetheless I really enjoyed the texture and my skin looked much fresher and brighter after using it.

5. Murad Essential-C Cleanser – Sample Size 45ml

I’m always on the look out for a good cleanser and was happy to give this one by Murad a whirl.

This fruity, fresh, antioxidant rich cleanser combats the daily impact of the environment and it’s pollutants by washing away impurities and restoring moisture whilst soothing stressed skin.

The clear gel based cleanser contains tiny orange micro beads which burst during the use. It’s designed to clean and purify your face while injecting a healthy dose of moisture back to dehydrated skin.

This is quite foamy, but I like that in a cleanser as it feels like I’ve cleaned my face properly.

The cleanser is infused with mandarin orange, basil and grapefruit oils which has a citrusy uplifting scent. I’m really impressed with this cleanser which leaves the skin feeling fresh, clean and refreshed. Due to its uplifting scent it’s a great pick me up for the morning and is probably best suited for acne prone, oily-combination skin types.

6. Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil – Deluxe Size 15ml

Within this months edit includes a deluxe sample from Ole Henriksen. I’ve hardly tried anything from this brand apart from their cleansing wipes which didn’t disappoint. With the full size only being 30ml it’s amazing that this sample is 15ml.

The Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil features a lightweight texture infused with natural citrus aromas and absorbs quickly to soften, condition and moisturize dull and tired skin. It’s infused with Rosehip oil, vitamin C and essential fatty acids which improves your skin’s own natural rejuvenating abilities while the tangerine and lemongrass oils soothe inflammation and minimise pores without a greasy residue.

It’s only recently that I’ve incorporated facial oils into my beauty regime and I’m no longer skeptical that these only work for dry skin types. These work just as well for oily skin too.

I’m looking forward to seeing how the Ole Henriksen oil measures up against the oil I’m currently using.

7. Pure Gold Collagen – Full Size 50ml RRP £3.59

I keep seeing this brand pop up and it was only a few months ago where I received a sample of this.

The Gold Collagen liquid supplement range is a ten day programme and comes in a pack of 10. This is a liquid food supplement that improves the skin’s appearance by working from within and counteracts the ageing process from the deep layers of your skin. Enriched with a special blend of natural ingredients, it re-activates the formation of collagen to give you brighter, plumper and more youthful looking skin. These come in a variety of different flavours and I received the peach and passion fruit.

I’m terrible at taking supplements and tend to avoid them as I can never stick to them for more than a week. Whilst you won’t notice any results with just the one bottle it’s a great opportunity to try the brand and their concept.

My Verdict

After the huge success of last month’s box, Look Fantastic have pulled it out of the bag once again and have delivered another well curated box which has a great balance of products featuring well known brands and a couple of new discoveries for me. This box impresses me each month and it certainly gives you an opportunity to try more upmarket beauty brands without the hefty price tag. I’m pretty chuffed with this months line up as I’ve been on a quest to step up my beauty regime and there’s a great selection of skincare products for me to road test.

This months edit has all area’s covered from skin loving treats, make up for the party season and a hair fix perfect for tackling the months of winter. The box is filled with an incredible 7 beauty items, 2 of which are full sized and showcases well known and premium brands such as Murad, Elemis, Ole Henriksen, Lord and Berry, Bourjois, Gold Collagen and Macadamia.

As an extra treat, Look Fantastic also included a £10 gift voucher to spend on luxury fashion site, Coggles.com.

In my opinion the quality, the presentation and the product selection throughout their boxes remains to be consistently great and focuses mainly on medium to high end brands. The samples sizes are very good sized (more travel sized).

It’s certainly a nice monthly treat to receive through your letter box and having had a few tasters I think it’s safe to say that Look Fantastic certainly know the concept of a beauty box.

For only £15.00 it’s a great way to discover new brands and products from brands we love.

The December box is still available via the Look Fantastic website however it won’t be around for long.

The long awaited announcement finally hit us on the 17th November and I was certainly delighted and some what relieved to get my hands on the British Beauty Blogger Dream Box 2 after missing out on the first one which was a huge hit. Jane Cunningham (The British Beauty Blogger) and Latest in Beauty joined forces again to bring you a second edition bursting with 18 worthy beauty products with an exceptional value of £129.00. It really isn’t surprising that due to phenomenal demand the website crashed within minutes of it being released and the boxes had to be purchased via a waiting list. Yes Jane Cunningham broke the Latest in Beauty website and it’s no surprise that this box has now sold out.

The BBB Dream Box 2 has all area’s covered from skin loving treats, make up for the party season ahead and some hair and body fixes perfect for tackling the months of winter. The box showcases brands such Ardell, Elizabeth Arden, Ciate, and Essie and many more.

As well as a fabulous line up the box includes a selection of good sized deluxe samples and full sized products personally selected by Jane and is either a long-time favourite of hers or an impressive new discovery.

1. Ardell Natural Style Demi Wispies – Full Size £5.49

I love false lashes and was happy to see a set from Ardell which is normally the brand I favour over others.

These lashes live up to their name and are are super light, full of length and volume and are perfect for those who want a more natural look that is not too dramatic. They are suitable for any occasion and are subtle enough to wear during the day too.

2. Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Cream – Sample Size 15ml worth £4.80

I’m a newbie to the Vichy range so it was great to finally be introduced in the form of their Thermal Light Cream.

This cream combines Vichy Thermal Spa Water and a micro-encapsulated delivery system of Activ Hyaluronine to improve the diffusion of moisture into the surface of the epidermis. The skin feels replenished with water, as if continuously hydrated by misting micro-sprays and claims that skin will be refreshed, velvety soft and free of the sensation of tightness all day long.

The cream has a very light weight texture and being oily skinned this is lighter than others I’ve used which is my preference when it comes to day creams. A tiny amount is needed and it spreads and sinks into the skin within seconds leaving no traces of oiliness on the surface. Dry skin types will love this as the skin literally drinks this up within seconds.

3. Kerastase Bain Satin 1 and Kerastase Lait Vital – Travel Size 30ml & 20ml worth £3.03

I am a big fan of Keratase and was happy to see that both a shampoo and conditioner from the Nutritive Range was within the box. I received the same set a few month’s ago which are both empty now so was happy to receive another set.

The Nutritive range is specially formulated to meet the needs of normal to slightly dry hair which gently cleanses your hair of dirt, excess oil and product build-up, whilst deeply moisturising and conditioning your hair to restore it back to full health.

These are both great and work well together to tackle rebellious hair like mine, it definitely tamed some of the frizz whilst leaving my hair feeling more nourished and smooth.

4. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF15 – Full Size 3.7g £20.00

The renowned Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour range is a true classic which has been around for years and loved by many.

The lip protectant stick moisturises, softens and smooths the lips and provides antioxidant protection with vitamin E. It also has the added bonus of UV protection as well as the same amazing healing and moisturising properties as the Eight Hour range.

When applied this leaves the lips feeling soft and nourished and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy. The moisturising formula is great to tackle the elements of winter. I particularly like that this is in the same form as a lipstick as opposed to being within a tub. It’s subtly scented with a citrus scent which is really pleasant too.

5. Mio Double Buff Dual Action Enzyme Exfoliator – Travel Size 50ml worth £7.66

On first impressions I assumed this was a facial exfoliator and I was pleased to discover that this was for the body.

The Mio Double Buff exfoliator instantly transforms rough, dull skin into skin that’s superbly soft, smooth, radiant and dewy. It claims to soften the skin and hydrate whilst brightening uneven skin tone.

The exfoliator has fine grainy particles which feel gentle on the skin and isn’t abrasive. This has a creamy texture which doesn’t leave an oily film on the surface unlike others I’ve tried. The product is very good sized too at 50ml.

6. Sleek MakeUP Mini Pout Polish – Sample Size 4.5g worth £2.49

I tried a sleek pout polish a few months ago and I really love their non sticky formula which feels moisturising and keeps the lips amazingly soft.

There were two variants of this pout polish and I received The Show, a pretty subtle pink shade which provides more of a natural sheen which mainly enhances the natural colour and shine of your lips. It also appears that the two shades are exclusive for this box only which is impressive.

7. LOLA Make Up Ultra Shine Lipstick – Full Size £12.00

There were two variants of shades available in the Lola lipstick and I received Strawberry Fields which is a lovely pink shade. Visually this looks quite vibrant however when applied it isn’t so bright and is ideal for brightening up your winter make-up look. The lipstick has a glossy and a subtle hint of shimmer which gives the lips a radiant flush of colour.

8. Invisibobble The Traceless Hair Ring – Full Size £3.75

I was delighted to see my all time favourite hair tie The Invisibobble within Jane’s shortlist. I received a pack of these in My You Beauty Discovery box this month and also purchased some more via Latest in Beauty’s build your own box. Whilst I have around five packs I was happy to receive another as back-up. Sometimes the odd one goes missing as the cat seems to pinch these and according to her they make the best toys ever, never to be seen again!

The Invisibobble which is available in various colours is a simply yet effective 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.

9. Agent Provocateur Fatale – Sample Vial 2ml

The Agent Provocateur Fatale speaks seduction and sexy as soon as you see the packaging. Fatale is a new fragrance and is infused with a striking blend of notes including Madagascan pink pepper, succulent mango and blackcurrant to name a few. I received a sample of this in July and the full size has been on my wishlist ever since.

This smells utterly amazing and has a very sweet scent which is what I normally go for in a perfume and it lasts well too.

10. Eylure Brow Crayon in Mild Brown – Full Size £6.45

I knew from moment I saw this in Jane’s unboxing video this was going to be way too light for my dark brows which wasn’t really an issue as I have a friend who is a perfect match for this shade.

This soft pencil ensures intense, long lasting colour for the brows and with it’s fine point it’s perfect for filling in, shaping the brows and adding definition.

11. Le Couvent des Minimes Gardener’s Hand Healer – Travel Size 15ml worth £4.95

Inspired by the Gardinarius, the monk who tended the Convent’s plants, the Gardener’s Hand Healer helps to repair dry and damaged hands and contains skin loving ingredients such as nourishing Shea butter and 7 Beneficial Plants in a rich, emollient cream. This intensive formula acts like an invisible glove to help protect against cracked and chapped skin and is recommended for gardening or DIY

Whilst I’m not green fingered or a fan of DIY this would be perfect as an intensive night treatment to soothe and nourish the hands.

12. Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Duo – Full Size £7.99

The Bourjois Delice de Poudre is a bronzing and highlighter duo palette which provides a contoured glowing complexion pberfect for rightening dull and lack-lustre skin this winter.

The palette has two chunks of the chocolatey bronzer and two of a shimmery highlighter. The bronzer has a matte finish which gives a natural looking glow, it also works well to sculpt the cheekbones too. The highlighter has a soft shimmer finish which is great for definition and accentuating your facial features.

In line with its chocolate theme this palette has the most delicious chocolate scent to it which literally smells good enough to eat.

13. Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream – Travel Size worth £3.00

Burt’s Bees’ Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream gives your needy nails a helping hand and nourishes and moisturise nails and cuticles with an intensive, natural treatment.

I was expecting this to be oily but surprisingly it isn’t in the slightest and contains ingredients such as sweet almond oil and Cocoa Seed Butter to moisturise and soften your cuticles along with Vitamin E and Sunflower Oil to nourish brittle nails. It’s also infused with lemon oil which is very potent within the fragrance and smells quite refreshing.

Unlike other cuticle treatments I’ve tried this absorbs into the skin and doesn’t leave any traces of oil. I hardly bare my naked nails they are always painted so I look forward to trying this and giving my nails a well deserved break with this nourishing cream.

14. The Body Shop Beautifying Oil – Full Size £9.00

The Beautifying Oils by The Body Shop is a lightweight multitasking oil for your hair, body and face and come in a range of different scents. I received Olive which has a fruity scent which is subtle.

This “dry” beautifying oil promises to banish dry skin, promote a smoother texture and add radiance to skin. As opposed to wetter oils this dry oil absorbs quicker into skin with it’s beautiful, lightly scented fragrance. The oil glides on and leaves the skin soft and feeling nourished.

The oil is very versatile too and can be used in many different ways. I prefer using dry oils after a shower on slightly damp skin as I find it works better then applying directly onto dry skin.

15. Essie Nail Polish – Sample Size worth £2.66

Nothing says Christmas more then sparkly bold nails which stand out and glisten. The Essie glitter nail polish in the shade Toggle to the Top is all things Chrismasy with it’s rich garnet red formula containing tiny specks of glitter and shimmer.

This is quite a unique colour which is truly a stunning. It seems to be quite popular too with the nail addicts.

16. Nude Skincare Pro Genius Treatment Oil – Deluxe Sample Size worth £20.00

I’ve heard amazing things about the Nude Pro Genius Treatment Oil and with it’s £58 price tag for a full size I was extremely happy to see this deluxe sample inside the box.

This is Nude’s signature product and has 10 carefully-selected, nutritious plant oils. These replenishing oils are rich in omegas 3, 6, 7 & 9, and provide essential building blocks for youthful, healthy-looking skin and provides 24-hours of moisture, plumps fine lines and reveals a smoother complexion. You can apply this day and night and can be used alone, before moisturising, or worn under foundation for a smoother application.

I’m thankful that this comes with a dropper applicator as being oil based you only need a little and this ensure there’s no wastage. I’m interested in seeing how my oily skin reacts with this oil.

17. Ciate Lash Lites – Full Size £16.00

Ciate recently launched their new lash lites range this year which was a complete surprise as to you and me they are popularly known for their pretty nail varnish bottles with the iconic black bow. It’s was nice see that they had now ventured out into make up in the form of their vibrant coloured mascara which comes 6 eye popping shades.

I received the shade electric which is a vibrant blue very similar to the Benefit Badgal Mascara but the results are ten times better. I don’t usually opt for any other shade apart from black since my teen days however the pigmentation is very impressive even when applied onto the lashes without any mascara. The colour adds some drama to your make up look and really makes the eyes noticeably more brighter. I will definitely be using this on evenings out.

My Verdict

I’m really wowed with Jane’s picks in collaboration with Latest in Beauty which is another fabulous edit bursting with a wide selection of beauty fixes and delightful treats. There’s also a handful of winter must-haves which will come in very useful during the cold months. It’s amazing how many items have been crammed into this box, 18 products to be exact and I certainly struggled to fit all of the contents into one photo!

The BBB Dream Box 2 has all area’s covered from skin loving treats, make up for the party season ahead and some hair and body fixes perfect for tackling the months of winter. I’m simply blown away by the box and it’s fabulous line up which showcases brands we all know and love and there’s even few new discoveries for me too. All of the products are really good sized with a mixture of deluxe samples and full sized products.

This box is incredible value for money and worth an amazing £129.00 and for only £21.95 it’s such an affordable way to discover brands and products.

As well as the fabulous line up there were also discounts codes included for some of the brands featured inside the box which is great to redeem against something you loved inside the box.

The November 2014 Glossybox has landed and this month sees the return of the sleek iconic pink box. Glossybox already revealed two of the products which you could expect to see inside this month’s box and I was pretty excited about the Lollipop eye pencil and the lip gloss from Burt’s Bees which I’ve been meaning to try. The box includes 3 full sized products, 2 sample sized products and a £20 gift card to spend at Best Secret which is a members only online fashion shop.

This month’s box covers all aspects of beauty and features brands such as Lollipops Make Up, Burt’s Bees, H20+, Monu Skincare and Umberto Giannini.

1. Lollipops Make up Eye Pencil – Full Size RRP £11.14

Last month’s box revealed that all subscribers would be greeted by this retractable black eye pencil by lollipops make up.

I tend to mainly focus on my eyes when perfecting my desired make-up look whether it’s to brighten the eye area or to create a sexy, sultry smokey eye look, eyeliner is the one staple make-up product which I can’t live without. I always get excited about new liners which promise longevity, no smudging and the blackest of black kohl.

This eye pencil has a creamy texture which glides on smoothly and effortlessly creating bold striking lines with a deep black pigment. I applied this to my water line and as promised the longevity is great and lasted pretty much all day with no smudging.

2. Burt’s Bees Lip Shine – Full Size 14g RRP £6.99

I’ve been meaning to try out the Burt’s Bees Lip Shines as I’m a big fan of their popular lip balms.

Out of the six shade variants and I received Wink which is a sheer pink with a fruity scent. This lip shine is 100% natural and is enriched with apricot wax which glides onto your lips giving a super glossy finish and fuller looking lips. The formula is quite thick and isn’t sticky when applied. It’s a great nourishing aid for the colder months whilst the wash of sheer pink provides a natural looking colour.

3. H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment – Sample Size 8ml

This oil-free hydrating gel is a striking turquoise blue and reminds me of the ocean and since it contains marine botanicals, it’s very fitting!

The oil-free gel delivers deep hydration while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and rapidly replenises depleted skin and fills surface lines with a surge of moisture. It contains multivitamins A and E to help skin resist daily damage from environmental stress factors.

With it’s light weight formula this would be perfect for applying in the morning.

4. Monu Skincare Refining Capri Facial Oil – Sample Size 30ml

This facial oil is specifically targeted for oily or spot prone skin types. The formula works to cleanse, tone and restore the skin making the skin look more refreshed and revitalised.

Using only the purest of ingredients it contains natural citrus oils which are known for their antibacterial action, Camphor which cleanses whilst refining the pores and grape seed oil to tighten and tone the skin.

I’m not a fan of oil-based face products mainly because my skin produces enough oil however with winter in force and the indoor heating constantly on, my skin gets dehydrated resulting in dull and lacklustre skin. This is a night treatment and the oil magically sinks into the skin without leaving a oily film on the surface which wasn’t what I was expecting from this oil formula.

As with all Monu products this smells amazingly therapeutic with uplifting zesty notes. I’m looking forward to giving this a try as it sounds like a great pick me up.

5. Umberto Giannini Miracle Worker – Full Size 125ml RRP £8.00

I have thick coarse hair which annoyingly turns frizzy as soon as it comes into contact with wintery weather and the perfect blow dry soon turns into a mess!

This salon formula which is an ancient hair repairing remedy with it’s silicone blend leaves hair protected, supple and full of softness and shine and instantly and visibly transforms even the most dry, frizzy coarse hair. It’s perfect for dry, rebellious hair with the magic ingredient being Argan Oil known for working wonders on the hair.

The applicator is a pump dispenser which is great for serum type products to ensure you get even amounts. This can be applied to damp hair before a blow dry or alternatively can be used as a finishing serum for shiny, smooth results. A little does go a long with this serum and due to the oiliness this would be more suited for applying to the ends of your hair only.

My Verdict

I’m quite pleased with this month’s offerings which covers all areas of beauty from make-up to skincare. There’s some great essentials to help tackle the havoc which winter brings to our beauty regime and the products all are very usable. I love the Burt’s Bees lip shine which adds a sheer wash of colour, great for days when you opt for a more natural make-up look and the miracle worker serum will certainly come in useful for keeping the frizz at bay.

November’s box included 3 full sized products, 2 sample sized products and a £20 Best Secret gift card. The contents within this month’s box is worth £46.13.

Glossybox always include some full sized products which bumps up the value of the box so it’s a great affordable way to discover and trial products from well known and new brands.

December Spoiler Alert – All subscribers will receive the newly launched Bellápierre Lip and Cheek stain worth £12.99 in the December box and a Anatomicals Zap Spot Stick. There’s also four full-sized products too!

The November 2014 Love Lula Beauty Box has arrived and there’s nothing more delightful then receiving a box filled with natural skin loving treats. This month’s box contains a variety of winter essentials from skin rescuers to instant moisture fixes which are perfect for tackling the colder weather upon us. I’m delighted that all of the brands within this edit are new discoveries for me.

LoveLula brings together an unparalleled selection of the world’s finest natural and organic beauty products. Their brands are hand-picked and tested: products are created using only the highest grades of ethically sourced natural and organic ingredients and must be effective, luxurious and guilt-free.

They insist on NO parabens, NO SLS’s and NO animal testing. Beyond this they seek out the most innovative companies and strive to support morally run and environmentally driven businesses. Love Lula also have a online shop which has a huge selection of the world’s finest natural and organic beauty products.

This month’s box includes 2 full sized products, 3 travel sized samples and 1 Hello Fresh Gift Card. The box features the brands Barefoot SOS, Jason, Giovanni, Living Nature and Suti.

1. Barefoot SOS Face and Body Rescue Cream – Travel Size 25ml. RRP £5.95

With Winter upon us we all tend to reach out for more moisture quenching products as the weather conditions wreak havoc on our beauty regime.

The multi award-winning, intensively rich and nourishing Rescue Cream by Barefoot which is 100% natural combines the highest quality botanical extracts, pure natural moisturisers and the finest essential oils to provide welcome relief for all kinds of dry, sensitive, uncomfortable and problem skin.

This multi-purpose cream can be used on the face and body to moisturise, soothe and hydrate the skin. Not only is this a saviour for dry skin it can also be applied to patches of eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis including any allergic flare-ups making it the perfect skincare essential for the months of winter.

Normally creams like these come non scented however this has a refreshing aroma of real French lavender, Neroli and Camomile which is really pleasant and smells quite therapeutic.

2. Jason Brightening Apricot Facial Wash and Scrub – Full Size 113g. RRP £5.49

This naturally gentle, soap-free foaming scrub polishes away impurities, oil and makeup for a clean, comfortable feel and contains apricot oil and triple refined walnut powder which gently washes away dead skin cells, revealing a smooth, glowing complexion. Mild enough to use everyday, this scrub is a gentle way to wake up your skin, with no pore-clogging residue.

I welcome this full sized product as I tend to reach out for exfoliating products more often in winter as the cold weather and indoor heating really dehydrates my skin making it look dull and tired.

3. Giovanni Deep Moisture Shampoo – Travel Size 60ml.

Winter really is my hairs worst enemy especially if you have unruly hair like mine which turns into a frizzy mess as soon as it comes into contact with rain or wind! Another welcomed addition in the form of the Giovanni Deep Moisture Shampoo which claims to transform your hair into a silky palette whilst calming unruly hair to alleviate frizz.

I look forward to trying this over the weekend and hope this is the rescue product I’ve been searching for.

4. Living Nature Nourishing Hand Cream – Full Size 50ml. RRP £16.00

My all time favourite winter essential is hand cream and I was pleased to be introduced to a full sized one from Living Nature.

This hand cream contains active manuka honey and larch tree extract to help repair chaffed hands and gives extra protection from moisture loss. I work in a hospital and I’m constantly washing my hands with the not so friendly hand wash, it really doesn’t do any wonders to my skin!

The hand cream is lighted scented and it’s rich formula sinks straight into the skin leaving no greasy residue. My hands were left soft, supple and extremely nourished. This definitely gets top marks from me!

5. Suti Cleansing Balm – Sample Size 4ml.

The Suti cleansing balm is an uplifting oil that melts instantly into the skin, penetrating the dermis and drawing out impurities, cleansing the skin of dirt, pollutants and make-up. It also states that you can apply this as a face mask whilst in the bath perfect for cosy nights in.

Unfortunately I tried this a few months ago and I found it too oily for my skin. This would be more suited for dry skin types.

My Verdict

I’m delighted with this month’s box which features a variety of winter essentials from skin rescuers to instant moisture fixes, perfect for tackling the colder weather upon us. The box covers all area’s and everything is very useable.

This month’s brands were all new discoveries for me and included a mixture of full sized products and good sized samples this month including a £25 gift card to spend at Hello Fresh.

The value of this month’s box is around £52.44 which includes the value of the Hello Fresh Gift Card beating the cost of the actual box.

The Love Lula Beauty Box offers a completely different experience compared to the others boxes and focuses only on all things natural and organic.

Love Lula also included a 20% off promotional code to use in their online shop on any of the brands which were featured in this month’s box which is valid throughout October.

If you love organic, natural and cruelty free products this is definitely a box you don’t want to miss out on. I have discovered some wonderful natural skin loving treats thanks to Love Lula.
