My Little Box Review – September 2014

My Little Parisienne Box (September Edition)
Price of the Box – from £13.95 a month
No of Products – 6 items
www.mylittlebox.co.uk

I’m so excited to welcome the first UK edition of the September 2014 My Little Box. Since my unveiling of their previous box a few weeks ago I was truly impressed by everything which this box had to offer from the chic and cute presentation to the carefully selected products within the box.

I must admit I did have a sneaky peek at this month’s box and subscribed around two weeks ago and whilst it’s a bit late as we near the end of September I’ve definitely saved the best until last.

This box offers something very different compared to the other boxes and if their previous boxes are anything to go by you will certainly not be disappointed. It’s definitely a showstopper and one which is beautifully composed with their very own in-house illustrator Kanako.

My Little Box is a hand-picked and beautifully designed box of beauty, fashion and lifestyle surprises. With fashion accessories, beauty products and other goodies created exclusively for you and based around a different theme every month, each box promises to delight their subscribers. They also produce their in house beauty products known as My Little Beauty.

This month’s theme, My Little Parisienne Box fits in perfectly with the first UK edition. The box contains 6 items and includes a mixture of beauty products which is contained within a charming draw string bag and within the box is also a few lifestyle items.

1. Laura Mercier Foundation Primer- Travel Size 30ml RRP £19.00

Laura Mercier has been busy this month as this is the second offering I have received of this primer, not that I’m complaining as I now have two which will last for the remainder of the year if not longer.

This foundation primer is oil free and creates the perfect canvas for makeup application, especially for those with sensitive and oily skin. The soothing, lightweight, water based gel forms an even, invisible layer that acts as a buffer to outside elements, expertly holding foundation for longer wear and keeping cosmetics from being absorbed into the skin.

I use this primer religiously as a base before applying my foundation. If you have oily/combination skin it’s the perfect formula as it’s very light weight and doesn’t feel greasy. Whilst on, this definitely works hand in hand with the foundation and controls any oil production on the surface of the skin and creates a smooth canvas which keep’s my foundation looking great and flawless all day.

2. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil – Sample Size RRP £3.66

The brand Nuxe was born in Paris in 1990 and created by a graduate of the Paris Institute of Political Studies and holder of an MBA in Marketing & Finance, Aliza Jabès, an inspired female entrepreneur.

Nuxe’s philosophy is “Beauty by Nature” offering a unique combination of nature, performance and sensuality with high-quality, efficient products

Whilst I’ve heard of this brand I’ve not had the opportunity to try any of the Nuxe range and was happy to be introduced in the form of their award winning and cult favourite the Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil.

This luxurious multi-purpose dry oil is made using six precious plant oils (Macadamia, Hazelnut, Borrage, Almond, Camellia and St. John’s Wort), and nourishes, repairs and softens skin and hair.

When applied it doesn’t feel greasy or oily, it goes on soft and smells divine pretty much like a field full of flowers in the Summer.

For more information on Nuxe please visit https://uk.nuxe.com/

3. My Little Beauty Stylo Lumiere Pen – Full Size RRP £11.00

I think it’s pretty amazing that My Little Box also have their own beauty range which is called My Little Beauty.

This brush applicator pen is a complexion brightening product to give your skin an instant glow. The velvety texture is perfect for foundation fixes and can also be used as an eye shadow primer or as a boaster to brighten the complexion. If that’s not enough it’s waterproof too!

4. Lifestyle Items

This month’s box included 3 lifestyle items which finished the box off perfectly.

First up is My Little Carnet which is a note book and on the first few pages is an introduction to My Little Box and their story which is really informative and gives you a good feel of the company.

Up next is a chic designed laptop case by their very own in-house illustrator Kanako. Unfortunately this didn’t fit my laptop despite trying to to squeeze it in a few times. Someone mentioned that this could be used as a hot water bottle cover which is a great idea so not all is lost!

Lastly is a pack of Parisienne themed stickers and these can be stuck onto your fridge, computer, phone or on a note book, the possibilities are endless!

My Verdict

I’m extremely happy with the first UK edition of My Little Box. I find it amazing how so much love and passion has gone into this box from the attention to detail, the design and the contents. Their warming welcome was also was a lovely touch and certainly made you feel part of the My Little Box family.

As soon as I opened the box it spelt out quality, class and all things chic. The attention to detail is very intricate and delicate and it’s certainly evident that a lot of effort and planning has gone into delivering the UK version. It’s uniqueness definitely stands out from the others and their presentation is the prettiest I’ve seen. My Little Box is full of charm and I love the surprise aspect as they do not release any spoilers. This is certainly a box I won’t be getting bored of!

Unfortunately the My Little World Magazine wasn’t available this month but it will be inside the box from October.

I can’t wait for next month’s edition.

Love Me Beauty Box Review – September 2014

Price of the Box is £10.00 Plus £3.95 P&P
No. of Products in the Box – 4
Total value of contents in the box £20.50
http://www.lovemebeauty.com

September 2014 see’s the arrival of a new revolution which has finally landed at Love Me Beauty despite the many teething problems since the launch it’s finally up and running. Not only have they had a complete brand revamp they have also abolished their selection menu’s and replaced it with a concept which is personalised by you. Whilst it’s great you can curate your own box I really miss the old menu’s. It’s been a rocky road since the go live but just when I think I have finally got to grips with the new Love Me Beauty I receive my box and find an eye liner pen as opposed to the Mascara which I chose. After getting in touch with Love Me Beauty they will be sending me the mascara.

Each month starting from now their monthly subscription is worth 6 credits and you simply chose the items you want inside your box from a selection of products ranging from hair, body, nails, skincare and make-up. Most of the items are either 1 or 2 credits and some have already flew off the shelf. For information on how the new concept works please visit their website.

The box came packaged in a standard box with the new Love Me Beauty logo and inside was a draw string bag with the contents. Unfortunately the new re-vamped box will not be available until October. Inside is also a welcome card but there was no information cards about the products unlike before.

The box also lacks substance and doesn’t have the same feel as previously. I would of liked to have seen a lifestyle product or some sachet samples thrown in as a bonus which would of made the box complete in my opinion.

Having a good browse on their Boutique which featured some new and old products from previous boxes I opted for practical items this month. My pickings included 4 full sized products.

1. Anatomicals New York London Paris Body Cleanser – Full Size 300ml RRP £3.00

I was introduced to this brand at the beginning of the year and loved their bizarre tongue in cheek statements and their vibrant colours on their packaging. I love trying new bath products and this sounded right up my street.

This is infused with an invigorating mix of fruit extracts including blueberries and raspberries leaving skin feeling soft and refreshed with a fresh and fruity scent.

2. Anatomicals Cruisin’ For A Snoozin’ Sleep Balm – Full Size RRP £3.50

Whilst browsing the boutique I came across this bright blue tub and the name Cruisin’ For A Snoozin’ grabbed my attention straight away.

The soothing Sleep Balm by Anatomicals is enriched with beeswax, lavender and lemon oils and has the most potent effect on promoting sleep with this natural remedy.

I don’t suffer from Insomnia and usually fall asleep pretty quick especially during the working week however I adore scents which help to calm and clear the mind and it’s the perfect size to sit on the bedside table.

3. The Vintage Cosmetic Company Gracie Lashes – Full Size RRP £6.00

I received the same lashes in a previous Love Me Beauty edition this year and fell in love with these natural looking lashes instantly.

They are easy to apply and come with adhesive inside the pack and can be worn during the day. They are amazingly light weight and you can’t even feel that they are on.

4. Oriflame The ONE Eye Liner Stylo – Full Size RRP £8.00

Unfortunately I got sent this eye liner pen by mistake as opposed to the mascara which I chose and for hygiene purposes I was unable to try this as Love Me Beauty wanted me to send this back to them in return for my correct item.

I will update my post once I have received the mascara.

My Verdict

A taster of the first Love Me Beauty Box since their revolutionary launch and whilst I am happy with my selections I hope next month see’s the release of some new exciting products and hope the process is much smoother compared to this month.

I felt that the box also lacked substance and doesn’t have the same feel as previously. I would of liked to have seen a lifestyle product or some sachet samples thrown in as a bonus which would of made the box complete in my opinion. Whilst it’s great you can curate your own box I really miss the old menu’s however this concept will ensure that you make the most out of the products you have selected. There’s nothing worse then receiving a product which isn’t suitable for you.

My box is worth £20.50 beating the cost of the box which has now increased to £13.95 including P&P.

So Susan LacquerLove Box Review – September 2014

Price of the Box is £14.95 including P&P
No. of Products in the Box – 5
Total value of contents in the box £45.75
www.sosusan.com

The September 2014 So Susan LacquerLove monthly subscription box has arrived and this month’s theme is Fashionista celebrating London Fashion Week. This month’s box contains hot runway trends with 4 new shades for every fashion icon.

So Susan is a brand which is known to have the prettiest quirky packaging and definitely a brand which stands out. Their collection of products ranges from make-up to nail varnish combining their lovely portfolio of colours with science. Their philosophy is to create colours which last and is kind to your skin.

This box includes 5 full sized items four of which are 4- free nail varnishes and one bonus make up product each month from Jelly Pong Pong with So Susan being the sister company. Their monthly edits include lacquer shades especially selected to compliment their theme for the month.

This pastel coloured and elegantly designed box is very So Susan designed and comes in the form of a gift box which is secured by a magnetic fastener.

Inside the box was four 4-free nail lacquers and a bonus So Susan Universal Blush which I received from a mystery selection this month.

1. So Susan 4-Free Nail Lacquers – Full Size. RRP £6.95 each

The So Susan nail lacquers are highly pigmented and are formulated to be chip-free and to remain intense with shine from the first application. The formula has quick drying time and is enriched with Rosehip fruit oil to moisturise and strengthen your nails and the delicate skin around it.

These nail lacquers they are 4-free which means they contain no DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate), no Toluene, no Formaldehyde and no Formaldehyde resin. A nail varnish which contains no nasties making it the ideal product which is kind to you.

This month’s box included the shades Peplum, Emerald Dust, Dark Denim and Aqua Marine (Full sized retailed at £6.95 individually).

These nail lacquers have a wonderful formula and the colour payoff is pretty good.The most impressive factor is the shine which these lacquers give without the need for a top coat and one coat is all it takes to show it’s true colour.

This month’s box featured a range of different unique shades and look absolutely stunning when applied. I welcome the very subtle aqua blue and the vibrant emerald green as I don’t own any similar shades in my collection. The darker shades in the form of the dark purple and blue are great for the Autumn Fall which is nearing upon us.

2. So Susan Universal Blush – Full Size RRP £17.95

This month So Susan are surprising their subscribers with a mystery make up item.

I was delighted to receive the Universal Blush which I’ve been wanting to try having read really positive reviews. This is a micronized, jet-milled blush that works with your skin’s natural chemistry to create a universal healthy flush that is flattering on all skin tones. Made with Buriti Fruit Oil to repair the epidermis and improve skin elasticity.

This diverse blusher is the most amazing shade of pink which gives a soft warm glow. It’s looks very natural once on and the depth of colour is ideal for achieving the perfect rosy cheeks. The texture of the powder glides smoothly onto your skin.

My Verdict

Overall this is an unique subscription box which concentrates only on nails and is the first of it’s kind in the UK subscription market. I love So Susan’s concept of this monthly box it’s certainly one which will ensure you have the latest colour trends in your collection. I also like that you receive a bonus make up product too making the discovery not just nails. Alternatively this would also make a lovely gift.

This box is worth an amazing £45.75 which is great value for money as the box itself is only £14.95 including P&P. You certainly won’t be in the dark with this box as you will be able to preview the box and all it’s contents prior to it being sent to you however if you don’t fancy the pickings you can simply skip the month giving you complete control and flexibility.

If you tend to stick to classic shades this box definitely gives you the opportunity to try something which you normally wouldn’t reach out for.

There’s a colour to suit every occasion in this box making it the ultimate box for all you nail varnish enthusiasts and fans.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box Review – September 2014

Price of the Box is £15.00 including P&P
No. of Products in the Box – 6
Total value of contents in the box – £54.00
www.lookfantastic.com

September appears to be the month where we see a few new beauty box launches and I was delighted to hear that Look Fantastic had also taken the plunge. 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 the September box sold out like a flash.

The October Look Fantastic Box Box is available to pre-order here

Inside the box is filled with 6 mystery beauty items which have been carefully selected. A mystery gift (worth £89.00) was also added to 5 random boxes.

The September box being their first features an incredible line up and showcases well known brands such as Keratase, This Works, St Tropez, Jurlique and Caudalie.

1. Caudalie Divine Oil – Sample Size 30ml Full Size 100ml RRP £27.00

I was introduced to this luxurious oil a few months ago and religiously used the whole bottle during the Summer. Happy to be re-acquainted with the Caudalie Divine Oil.

This is a nourishing multi-purpose miracle oil which is an indulgent treat for dry skin, hair and nails. The unique blend of natural oils, gentle fragrances and softening shea butter can also be used to restore the skin in the bath or during a massage.

The oil has beautiful but subtle floral fragrance and it’s multi purpose properties have so may uses, the list is simply endless.

2. Kerastase Nutritive Irisome Bain Satin 1 Shampoo and Condition – Sample Sizes 80ml and 75ml. Full Size Duo Set RRP £22.20

I am a big of Keratase and was happy to see that both a shampoo and conditioner from the Nutritive Range was within the box. There’s nothing worse than receiving an incomplete set for hair as sometimes you either only get a shampoo or just a conditioner. I like to try both to really get a feel of the brand and the product as they both work hand in hand.

Specially formulated to meet the needs of normal to slightly dry hair, Kerastase Nutritive Irisome range 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.

Whilst these may be sample sizes they are really good sized.

3. St Tropez Bronzing Mousse – Sample Size 50ml . Full Size 240ml RRP £30.64

I’ve not used St Tropez for years and happy that I’ve been re-introduced to the brand in the form of a self tanning mousse. I particularly like the St Tropez range as the developed colour is more of a natural glow rather than a full on colour.

St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse is a super-lightweight, easy-to-apply, velvety mousse that delivers the ultra-even all-over tan you’ve always wanted. Delivering a streak free tan, it dries in just 60 seconds so you can whip it on anytime, anywhere.

St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse contains an innovative fragrance technology that helps to take away the tell-tale tanning aroma to make way for a beautiful subtle, yet refreshing fragrance.

I can’t wait to try this mousse and the 50ml size should hopefully give me one full application.

4. This Works Deep Pillow Spray – Sample Size 5ml. Full Size 75ml RRP £16.00

Now this product excites me and as soon as I saw the packaging I knew exactly what it was. I have been meaning to try this spray and convinced myself I really didn’t need it. I sleep like a log at the best of times and it’s very rare that I suffer from insomnia but I like calming and relaxing aroma’s and this spray sounded perfect for a better night’s sleep.

This spray aims to give you a relaxing and rejuvenating deep sleep and is formulated with natural oils such as Lavender, Vetivert and Wild Camomile which release relaxing vibes so you inhale calm and exhale your worries.

I applied a couple of sprays on my pillow and the scent is intensely relaxing and quite comforting. It’s a very herbal fragrance and isn’t overpowering at all. Whether this put me to sleep or not I couldn’t really tell you but I love the concept and it’s calming properties. Definitely one for the wishlist!

5. Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum – Sample Size 15ml. Full Size 30ml RRP £45.00

I’m familiar with Jurlique products and have seen some raving reviews of their skincare range.

This youth defence concentrate serum features a proprietary active complex: Naturadiance PB18+ to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, help increase elasticity, restore radiance and increase hydration, while antioxidants create a natural defence shield to help protect against environmental aggressors. Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum leaves skin visibly glowing, hydrated and younger-looking.

As this isn’t suitable for my skin type I will be gifting this to my mum.

My Verdict

Look Fantastic known for providing all things beauty from A-Z via their website have definitely hit the beauty box industry with a bang and they certainly didn’t disappoint with this showstopper of a box. They definitely exceeded my expectations with their first ever beauty box.

The September box featured an incredible line up and showcases well known brands such as Keratase, This Works, St Tropez, Jurlique and Caudalie.

In my opinion they have executed their first box very well from the presentation to the contents within the box. Inside the box also contains pretty information cards which are quite descriptive.

Whilst there are no full sized products the samples themselves are very good sized enabling you to get a good feel of the brand and product and perfect for weekends away. I think sometimes people forget that the sole purpose of these boxes are to enable you to trial products before you buy. It’s certainly a nice monthly treat to receive through your letter box!

The value of this month’s box is £54.00 beating the cost of the box which is only £15.00

Love Lula Beauty Box Review – September 2014

Price of the Box is £12.50 including P&P
No. of Products in the Box – 7
Total value of contents in the box – £35.60
http://www.lovelulabeautybox.com

The September 2014 Love Lula Beauty Box has arrived and this month it features an incredible line up with a special curated box in partnership with the Soil Association. It’s Organic Beauty Week and this box definitely showcases the best of Organic Beauty and contains 4 full sized products.

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 included 4 full sized products and 3 sample sized products. The box features Balm Balm, Skin Blossom, PAI, Essential Care, Bentley Organic and Herbfarmacy.

1. Skin Blossom Facial Toner – Full Size 150ml RRP £5.95

This toner conditions and purifies the skin and contains refreshing ingredients such as witch hazel to tone and tighten pores, Aloe Vera and Glycerin to condition, and subtle essential oils to revive. It’s made with 97% organic ingredients and is suitable for all skin types.

The key ingredients within this potion is ideal for my skin type. This toner has a pleasant scent and smells quite therapeutic.

This full sized toner comes in a generous 150ml and is a great budget friendly toner which contains no nasties and is kind to the skin.

2. Balm Balm Little Miracle Rosehip Serum – Full Size 30ml RRP £13.25

Balm are known for their 100% natural and 100% organic philosophy and their collection ranges from skincare to home fragrances.

The Little Miracle Rosehip Serum is a rich and refined blend of Rosehip, Jojoba and Borage oils. Infused with Frankincense and Madarin for a total rejuvenating experience.

Unfortunately this isn’t for my skin type but I’m sure someone will take this off my hands.

3. Herbfarmacy Mallow Beauty Balm – Sample Size 15g. Full Size 30g RRP £14.50

Founded by Botanist Dr Paul Richards, Herbfarmacy products are all made on a small herb farm in Herefordshire and they use Soil Association certified ingredients in their products.

This award winning Mallow Beauty Balm is full of Marshmallow and Muselin which is an infused oil that has anti-wrinkle properties. The balm softens and deeply moisturises the skin leaving it smooth and protected.

The formula can be used in place of your daily moisturiser or if you’re looking for an intensive night treatment this is perfect due to it’s very nourishing and luxurious rich texture. This is definitely more suited for those who have dry thirsty skin.

4. Bentley Organic Moisturising Hand Santizer – Full Size 50ml RRP £3.65

This hand bag sized sanitizer is made with 90% Organic Ingredients and comes in the form of a mousse rather than a gel. It’s made with a unique formula that is gentle on you but hygienically cleans and contains Organic Aloe Vera which moisturises your hands.

I’m not a fan of hand santizers mainly due to the high alcohol content these contain leaving your hands horribly dry. This however contains no alcohol and is paraben and fragrance free and works amazingly well at keeping your hands germ free and soft at all times.

5. Essential Care Organic Lip Silk – Full Size 4.5g RRP £5.50

This lip balm has a nourishing blend of beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil and orange essential oil to moisturise, repair and protect your lips in all weathers.

It’s smooth formula literally glides onto the lips and there’s not a hint of a mint or a medicated scent which is great! It’s really light weight and literally feels like silk once on.

With Autumn showing signs of it’s arrival I rely on a good lip balm to get me through the colder weather stream and this could possibly be one of favourites.

6.PAI Skincare Samples – Sample Size

Lastly there are two offerings of PAI skincare samples, an exfoliator and a day cream.

The Pai Kukui & Jojoba Bead Skin Brightening Exfoliator marks an innovative and ultra-gentle approach to exfoliation. Unlike other exfoliators, whose uneven grains can damage and irritate healthy skin, Pai’s clever Micro-Sphere system is formulated to protect as it polishes and is suitable for sensitive and problem skin, including skin prone to redness, eczema and acne.

The Pai Hydrating Day Cream is formulated to hydrate and protect dry sensitive skin using only the cleanest organic ingredients. It’ delicately scented with Jasmine and May Chang leaving the skin hydrated and replenished.

My Verdict

This month’s box features an incredible line up with a special curated box in partnership with the Soil Association. It’s Organic Beauty Week and this box definitely showcases the best of Organic Beauty and contains 4 full sized products which is amazing.

This month’s box included 4 full sized products and 3 sample sized products. The box features the brands Balm Balm, Skin Blossom, PAI, Essential Care, Bentley Organic and Herbfarmacy.

Love Lula have executed this box very well to complement Organic Beauty week and whilst there are a couple of products I won’t make use out I am extremely happy with the remainder of the contents.

This is in the same price range as the other beauty boxes and you are getting a completely different experience compared to the others boxes in relation to the products. Love Lula really do curate good quality boxes.

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

The value of this month’s box is around £35.60 beating the cost of the box.

If you love organic, natural and cruelty free products this is definitely the box for you. I have discovered some wonderful brands thanks to Love Lula.

A Taster of the Parisian My Little Box

I’m so excited to welcome My Little Box which has finally landed in the UK after it’s success in it’s home of France. Whilst this isn’t September’s Box I was kindly sent one of their previous boxes to share with my readers to give you a taster of what you could discover with this Parisian box. I can assure you My Little Box offers something very different compared to the other boxes and if their previous boxes are anything to go by you will certainly not be disappointed.

The box I received was July’s Edition which was My Sunshine Box. This box is themed for the Summer month of July and contains an informative magazine, a sunglasses case which is simply adorable, the cutest head band and a charming drawstring bag containing three beauty products – Kerastase Cristalliste Shampoo, My little Beauty Mascara and Absolution L’Eau Soir et Matin which is a make up remover.

As soon as I opened the box it spelt out quality, class and all things chic. The attention to detail is very intricate and delicate from their presentation to the carefully selected products within the box. It’s the perfect Little Box and offers something very magical. It’s uniqueness is definitely a show stopper and their presentation is the prettiest I’ve seen. I am hoping that the UK version of My Little Box delivers the same quality and charm as the successful French box.

Their monthly subscription package starts from £13.95 a month and includes shipping.

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.

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.
