Price of the Box is £6.95 including P&P
No of Products in the Box – 4 items
Total value of contents in the box £22.50
www.youbeautydiscovery.co.uk

The October 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and after the success and popularity of last years Handbag Heroes shortlist, it’s been featured again this month showcasing a great balance of luxe, distinct and effective quick-fix products.

To see the October Shortlist please click here

You Beauty Discovery have also 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. I preferred staying up as I’m not a morning person!

“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. It’s quite unusual to see that majority of the products are still available which is a first since I subscribed!

My box included 2 products of my choice from the shortlist, two extra treats in the form of Gold Collagen Forte and a sample sachet of Cowshed Perfecting Night Serum.

1. Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick – Full Size RRP £18.50

The Illamasqua Lipstick was the first item which caught my eye in this month’s shortlist and I wasted no time in quickly adding this to my box. It’s definitely risky going for a lipstick where the shades do vary however I thought I’d take the chance as what’s the likelihood of receiving another dreaded nude shade?

Typically and as my luck goes I received the shade Buff which sits within the nude collection. Whilst this isn’t a naked nude it’s more of a warm brown shade which is great for Autumn if your complexion can pull it off. Unfortunately for me it was way to dark.

The lipstick itself has lovely satin finish which glides on the lips and has great moisturising properties and staying power.

2. Lalique Nilang Fragrance – Sample Size 4.5ml

The second item which stood out for me was the luxe Nilang perfume sample from the Lalique Collection and it comes presented in a delicate lavish voile pouch embossed with gold lettering. Inside the pouch is also an artificial flower with ribbon attached and pays homage to the lotus flower that inspired this line.

The Nilang perfume contains notes of Lotus Flower, Peach, Melon, Mandarin, Clove flower, Jasmine, Freesia, Wild blueberries, Amber, Vanilla, Praline and Sandalwood. The fragrance is quite sensual with a soft hint of fruitiness making it potent within it’s own class of uniqueness.

I would probably use this on a night out as opposed to during the day as the scent is quite overpowering and dominant.

3. Extra Samples within the box:

This month, You Beauty Discovery have included a full sized bottle of Gold Collagen Forte which is a new nutritional beauty supplement specifically designed for women aged 40+. I’m guessing one potion isn’t going to work any miracles and will need to be taken regularly to see any noticeable results. A pack of 10 supplements is £39.99.

There’s also a sachet sample of Cowshed’s anti-aging perfecting night serum which is the ultimate all-in-one skincare treatment for busy women. The serum-in-oil hybrid is packed full with botanical actives and essential oils that work wonders on your skin while you sleep, so that you can wake up to a firmer, brighter and smoother complexion.

My Verdict

The October Handbag Heroes shortlist showcases a great balance of luxe, distinct and effective quick-fix products this month. I am extremely happy with my picks this month. I’m especially smitten with the beautifully presented Nilang perfume by Lalique. I’m amazed by the intricate attention to detail and the lavish delicate presentation which accompanies this divine sample.

It was unfortunate that the Illamasqua lipstick in Buff didn’t suit me but I’m sure I will find someone to take this off my hands.

The value of my box is worth £22.50 which is more than the price of the box itself.

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.

You Beauty Discovery Box Review – September 2014

Price of the Box is £6.95 including P&P
No of Products in the Box – 7 items
Total value of contents in the box £28.75
www.youbeautydiscovery.co.uk

The September 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and this month they celebrate their 1st Birthday in style with another fantastic menu.

“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. It’s not surprising that on the 3rd September majority of the products had already sold out which is a first since I’ve been subscribed especially in that time frame!

My box included 2 full sized products of my choice, Toni & Guy Volume Plumping whip (Birthday bonus), 2 Crabtree and Evelyn tea bags, £25.00 Hello Fresh Gift Card and a You beauty discovery make-up sponge.

To see September’s selection menu please click here

1. Wild About Beauty Nutrilips Colour Lipstick SPF15 – Full Size RRP £15.00

It was only recently that I was introduced to this brand which is owned by Louise Rednapp along with make up artist Kim Jacob and I instantly fell in love with the pretty packaging and the quality.

I received the shade Bobbie which is a nude colour but not a naked nude it’s more of a brown tone. This light weight nourishing lipstick gives a subtle hint of colour and a natural glossy finish. It’s infused with added beneficial ingredients and SPF protection which is super moisturising when applied.

I’m not a fan of nude colours and whilst a lot of people rave about them I am yet to the find the perfect nude shade for my skin tone. This isn’t the nudest of nudes and I quite like the colour which is wearable and perfect for the upcoming Autumn months.

2. Mavala Mavadry Time-Save Fast Drying Nail Finish – Full Size 5ml RRP £6.75

The Mavala fast drying nail coat definitely stood out for me this month in the selection menu this month mainly because I’m so inpatient when it comes to drying time and being such a fidget I am prone to smudging my nails even before they have dried and there’s nothing more frustrating to find you have smudged a perfect paint job.

This top coat dries in a few seconds and prevents flaking and enhances the nail colour too giving a lovely sheen. The Mavala Mavadry Nail Polish Dryer dries your polish instantaneously. It also reduces chipping and prevents smearing and smudging.

I can’t believe how quick my nails dried with this formula it’s pretty impressive and really brightened up the colour of the varnish.

I will no longer be waving my hands in the air to dry my nails thanks to this incredible formula. This is a revolutionary breakthrough for me and most importantly it’s a time saver and I can get on with chores without worrying about my nails.

3. Tony & Guy Volume Plumping Whip – Full Size 90ml RRP £7.00

This is a Birthday bonus item in this month’s box which all subscribers will receive.

LuLu Kennedy, one of the most influential names on the British fashion scene and the founder of Fashion East has helped TONI & GUY dress up four best selling products including the Glamour Volume Plumping Whip which creates all-day body and bounce from the roots, without flyaways.

This smells really nice and the formula isn’t sticky. You apply a walnut sized amount to towel dried hair before heat styling.

4. Extra Samples within the box:

You Beauty Discovery have been quite generous this month with their extra samples including two tea bag samples from the Crabtree and Evelyn collection, £25 Hello Fresh Gift card and a make up sponge.

My Verdict

You Beauty Discovery celebrate their 1st Birthday in style with another fantastic menu and I’m really happy with my box. This month’s 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 this month’s contained 3 full sized products and 4 extra samples.

The value of my box is worth £28.75 which is more than the price of the box itself. This month I’ve discovered the amazing Mavadry top coat which works incredibly well and is such a time saver. I only wished that I was introduced to this sooner.

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.

Price of the Box is £6.95 including P&P
No of Products in the Box – 6 items
Total value of contents in the box £12.20
www.youbeautydiscovery.co.uk

The August 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and the theme this month is Summer Essentials and mainly focuses on skincare and protecting yourself in the Sun.

“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.

I wasn’t overly excited about this month’s selection menu compared to the previous months mainly because a lot of the items just wasn’t suitable for my skin type, instead I went for the safer option and chose both of the nail varnishes. You really can’t fault this beauty box as it’s incredibly good value for money. The most popular items such as the Gazzeli duo and the hair masque all sold out within 24 hours. You have to super quick with this selection menu as the popular items are always sold out by the morning.

This month’s box included 2 full sized products of my choice, 2 Jimmy Choo perfume samples, 1 skincare sample and a You beauty discovery 4-way nail buffer.

To see August’s selection menu please click here

1. Peggy Sage Nail Varnishes from the Nude and Summer Collection – Full Size 100ml RRP £6.10 each

A girl can never have too many nail varnishes in fact I don’t think I have enough! That’s my excuse when I get moaned at for having too many.

These nail varnishes really stood out for me mainly because it’s a brand I haven’t been introduced to and when researched there’s only a handful of stockists in the UK who sell these.

Peggy Sage provide’s elevating nail care to a whole new creative process and is based in Llandudno and their collection has a wide range of pretty shades and textured nail varnishes.

I received Sunny Sweetie from their Summer collection which is a vibrant pink shade and Nude Poudre from their nude collection which is a lovely light mocha shade.

The formula of these nail varnishes apply like a dream and one coat is enough for a non sheer colour. The drying time is relatively quick and promises to last for up to 6 days depending on the colour – average hold is 4 days. It also claims to retain its shine for up to 4 days.

I’m really tempted to try their textured range and You Beauty Discovery have included a generous 20% off discount code to redeem against any of the Peggy Sage nail varnishes.

For more information on the Peggy Sage range please click here

2. You Beauty Discovery 4-Way Nail Buffer.

This month see’s the inclusion of a 4-way nail buffer as a bonus treat which is great for when you’re on the go and is the ideal size to fit into your handbag.

3. Jimmy Choo Perfume Vial for Men and Women and FaceD 3-Luronics Face Cream Serum Sample

You Beauty Discovery have been quite generous this month with their extra samples including two perfume samples and a face serum sachet.

My Verdict

Once again I am happy with my You Beauty Discovery selections this month and whilst August’s selection menu wasn’t as exciting as previous months you really can’t fault this beauty box as it’s incredibly good value for money and gives you the opportunity to try products without the hefty price tag. The most popular items such as the Gazzeli duo and the hair masque all sold out within 24 hours. You have to super quick with this selection menu as the popular items always sell out by the morning.

My box this month’s contained 2 full sized products (chosen by me) and 4 extra samples.

The contents within my box is worth £12.20 which is more than the price of the box itself. This month doesn’t see that much of an increased value compared to previous boxes however I’ve discovered Peggy Sage who has a wonderful collection of good quality nail varnishes and I will definitely be purchasing a few more.

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.

Beauty Pick of the Month – April 2014

ClaySpray
(Brightening White Clay with Ginseng Masque)

*Pictures from the ClaySpray Website

My favourite product which I received in April has to be the Brightening White Clay with Ginseng Masque by ClaySpray which was sent to me in my You Beauty Discovery Beauty Box.

Upon choosing my products I was so excited to see this in the selection menu as this is the first time I have seen a face mask in a spray formula. It’s no wonder that these sold out so quickly on the website!

ClaySpray is the first clay emulsion to come in a spray can which not only helps keep the clay fresh but pure also.

The founder of Clay Spray is Marian an Archaeologist by training. “Clay is intimately bond to the excavation deposits, where Archaeologists patiently scrapes away layer by layer from the most recent traces human settlements through the oldest until a virgin stratum is reached that no human has ever had contact with. A clay deposit that has not undergone any alterations since its geological formation millions of years ago. This is where the job of the Archeologist finished and the dream of Pharmaclay starts”

This product exfoliates and renews. Removes dead skin cells, revealing a fresh new skin surface with energising ginseng to brighten, for an immediate replenished healthy look and 95% of its ingredients are natural.

This mask is perfect for tired and dull skin (ideal for me as the pressures of work and late nights play a toll on my skin) This is for combination and normal skin types.

I definitely didn’t waste any time to try this product. I initially thought this could be sprayed straight onto the face however this certainly was not the case! As per the instructions I sprayed this into the palm of my hand. The spray releases a lot of product really fast so you do have to be really careful otherwise it could be quite disastrous with clay everywhere! I applied and left it on for about 20 minutes and it dried firm.

I rinsed in the shower, and magically I acquired radiant looking skin! My pores looked more refined and my skin did look noticeably better. I am so impressed with this product it really is a hidden secret amongst the Beauty market and only wished I came across this earlier. I am quite particular about face masks but this really is effective and the results are noticeable. I am using this on a weekly basis as part of my cleansing regime.

I have recently purchased the Mattifying Red Clay Mask and the Glow Red Clay with Cacao Mask from www.feelunique.com who are stockists of ClaySpray. I am looking forward to their arrival!
