http://www.latestinbeauty.com
With spring soon approaching, it’s nearly time to send winter packing and with this in mind Latest in Beauty have partnered with Glamour Magazine to bring us beauty addicts The Glamour Spring Beauty Edit, a spring-ready beauty box to refresh our make-up bags and beauty regimes to embrace the season of renewal and get us in the mood for spring. The box boasts 9 beauty must-haves making it the perfect debut as we slowly transition from winter to spring. I really love the line-up which fits in so well with the theme and includes a selection of beauty treats from skincare, make-up, a hair mask, nail products and a sample of a true springtime fragrance.
If that’s not enough the box is worth an incredible £99.00 and features eight full size products and only one sample, now that’s impressive. As well as the beauty line up there’s also a discount code for the Glamour magazine 12 month print subscription with a saving of 62% with free access to the iPad and iPhone editions.
1. MorrocanOil Intense Hydrating Mask – Full Size 75ml
I must admit I am the worst when it comes to looking after my hair. As much as I love having hair extensions it’s made me somewhat lazy in keeping my real hair in good condition so I was happy to see this hair mask from MoroccanOil which has a deep conditioning element to it.
The Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask is a rich, creamy treatment, designed to hydrate, repair damage and provide the hair with much needed moisture and protein whilst adding elasticity and shine.
The formula is quite rich and thick in consistency and smells amazing. I can’t wait to really pamper my hair with this mask and with my hair being so thick it’s definitely the kind of treatment I need at the moment.
2. Nuxe Creme Fraiche de Beaute Mask – Full Size 50ml
The Nuxe Crème Fraiche de Beaute Mask injects the skin with a surge of moisture within 10 ten minutes and promises to provide 24 hour rehydration for thirsty skin. It’s suitable for sensitive and dehydrated skin types.
The mask hydrates, soothes the skin and instantly reduces discomfort or redness with its skin loving ingredients such as 8 plant milks, aloe vera sap, almond and orange white flowers, all of which are abundant within the lovely fragrance of this mask.
I’ve used this masque quite a few times this year and I really like the instant cooling and soothing sensation it provides as well as giving a radiant and brighter complexion.
Not only can this be used as a hydrating mask it’s also great for all year round especially for soothing skin that’s been over-exposed to the sun.
3. Elie Saab L’Eau Couture – Sample Vial Size 0.8ml
L’Eau Couture was developed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, who created the original Elie Saab Le Parfum. The L’Eau Couture is a much lighter version and includes notes of bergamot, magnolia, orange blossom, green almond and vanilla and is a true springtime fragrance.
When I smelt this, it was truly captivating with a light and delicate burst of a refreshing floral scent with a sweet twist once settled. It’s an amazing mood-booster that brings to mind the memories of being somewhere nice, sunny, and warm. I love the rather simple selection of notes with each one retaining its own vibrant character. You need to like floral scents to really appreciate this but if you do, it will not disappoint.
4. Model Co Creme Rouge Cheek & Lips – Full Size 0.12oz
As well as a lipstick, this also doubles up as blush too and comes in a creamy matte peach/coral shade which might seem intimidating at first, but it’s actually a very wearable colour that comes in a handy sized case. It’s buildable formula means it can be applied sheer or you can go all out with a more bold and defined finish and If you’re not feeling the matte lip colour just add some gloss. Easy peasy! I love the colour and can see this suiting all skin tones.
5. Rimmel Oh My Gloss! Lip Gloss – Full Size 6.5ml
Within the box you can expect to see a new product launch from Rimmel who have partnered with Rita Ora to bring a collection of festival inspired lip gloss shades.I received the shade snog although you could receive a different variant from the collection.
I really like the texture which feels super- comfy on the lips without a trace of stickiness. The shade snog has a combination of pink and brown tones along with a great shine formula that simply adds a soft sheen of colour making it a great everyday gloss. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for other shades from this collection as this by far is the best formula I’ve come across in a long time.
6. Beauty UK High Brow Kit- Full Size
I must admit I’m picky when it comes to brow products mainly because I already have a few holygrail products and deep down I wasn’t expecting much from this brow kit. Well, it was very bad of me for judging a book by it’s cover, I was actually really wowed by it.
The palette is housed within a sturdy plastic case and inside there’s three different shades of powders, a clear wax, tweezers and a double-ended brow brush.
The darker shade matched my eyebrows perfectly and surprisingly the powder sticks to the brush like a magnet and doesn’t go everywhere unlike others I’ve tried. The brush has the ideal shape and flexibility giving a defined finish, and the most impressive factor was the longevity, the powder remained intact from 8am until 6pm without any fading or smudging.
I love this brow kit, it brings everything you need to achieve natural and defined looking brows. The RRP is complete steal at only £3.99 and whilst it’s budget friendly it really doesn’t compromise on quality.
7. Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow – Full Size
I’ve not tried anything from the brand KiKo so was happy to be introduced in the form of their Long Lasting Eyeshadow Stick.
I received the 06 shade which is a deep metallic bronze with a hint of shimmer and you could possibly receive a different one as there’s three shade variants. The product itself is very creamy, super pigmented with a very smooth texture. It’s extremely easy to blend or smudge whether you’re using a brush or your fingers and once set it has serious staying power and looks very flattering. It’s buildable too and can transition you from a day to night look effortlessly. It works really well as a liner too. Really impressed with my first product from Kiko and will certainly be looking into more of their collection.
8. Revlon Colourstay Gel Envy Longwear Nail Enamel and Diamond Top Coat – Full Size 10ml
I personally like to coordinate with the seasons and pastel and bright polishes are perfect for spring time. This however isn’t your average nail lacquer it’s a gel based formula and comes alongside a diamond top coat too. I’ve not tried any gel formula’s before so was happy to be finally introduced.
From Revlon’s innovation in their ColorStay collection this pioneering nail collection promises to provide brilliant colour, gel-shine and a long lasting wear in an easy at-home 2-step system.
From the six variants I received the shade 320 Full House which is a lovely light sky blue colour and shouts all things spring and sunny. I’m looking forward to trying these especially the top coat.
9. Glamour Magazine Discounted Subscription
As well as the beauty line up, I think it’s great and very generous of Glamour Magazine to include a code to get a free Glamour magazine 12 month print subscription which also gives you free access to the iPad and iPhone editions. It’s a great way to keep up with the latest beauty trends and gossip whilst you’re on the go.
My Verdict
Just when you think you’ve seen the best of the Latest in Beauty Glamour edits, they pull out another showstopping box, although I wouldn’t expect anything less from this partnership, it’s something which they get right each time. This box really gets you in the mood for spring and boasts a great selection of products all of which are contained within a vibrant spring- inspired box. What amazes me is that eight out of the nine items are full sized and showcases well-known brands making it exceptional value for money. I also like that it’s not dominated by skincare giving a much welcomed break, and plus you can never have enough make-up and nail varnish!
Overall I’ve really enjoyed discovering everything within this box and there’s nothing that I won’t continue to use. I particularly love the shades that have been selected for the spring edition and whilst dark lips and nails are beautiful, I’m so ready to stash these away and pull out the bright and pastel colours.
Individually, the products would cost a whopping £99.00, but you can get your hands on the whole lot for just £16.99 making it super-affordable and great value for money.The box also includes some discount codes to redeem against the brands showcased within the box, which is great if you fall in love with any of the products.
I’m a big fan of the Latest of Beauty who curate incredible beauty boxes and showcase worthy and well-known brands for a very affordable price with the Glamour editions being my favourite partnership when it comes to collaborations. As with all of the editions there’s always something that I manage to fall in love with and usually it’s not just the one product! I’ve gone on to purchase quite a few products that I’ve discovered via their boxes.

Givenchy British Beauty Blogger Edit by Latest in Beauty Review – February 2015
Givenchy British Beauty Blogger Edit
Price of the Box is £18.95 including free P&P
No of Products in the Box – 9 items
http://www.latestinbeauty.com
With Valentines Day in mind, I took the initiative and treated myself to the lust-worthy and luxurious Givenchy British Beauty Blogger Edit by Latest in Beauty, and with my husband being pretty clueless on what to buy me as per usual, I wasted no time getting in there first although surprisingly he did quite well with the gifts this year! This limited edition box includes Jane’s personal picks of Givenchy Iconic Products and each item has an emblem of excellence within the brand to allow you to get to know Givenchy a little better. As well as the box being a great little sampler set to get a feel of this famous Parisian brand, I was also really lusting after the coin purse although I would of been equally happy with the notebook too. Unfortunately and to no surprise this box has now sold out so I’m even more happy that I managed to purchase one just in time!
Firstly, the presentation and the packaging is in true Givenchy form and really gives it that luxurious and premium feel. It’s almost too pretty to unwrap and feels like a true little treat! Interesting fact – the packing team wore white gloves to put this one together so the white glossy box and all the contents were absolutely pristine. I wouldn’t expect anything less from Latest in Beauty!
The box showcases an impressive beauty line-up from the luxury brand Givenchy and covers a good area of beauty from innovative skincare, make-up treats to sensual fragrances. As well as beauty there was also a chic handbag accessory in the form of a notebook or a coin purse.
Okay, so there’s no full-sized products but remember this is a taster edit to welcome beauty lovers into the world of Givenchy and enables you trial some iconic discoveries without splurging out on full size items.
1. Givenchy Foundation (1 empty bottle for a 5 day foundation trial + FREE make-over invitation)
I’ve seen a little controversy over this empty bottle but personally I think this is a great concept and one which I really welcome and wish more brands would incorporate this. There’s nothing worse then receiving a foundation shade which doesn’t match your skin tone and this will allow you to get a perfect match from the experts themselves along with a free-make over. The bottle gives a 5 day foundation trial which is great to really decide if you want to purchase the full-size.
2. Phenomen’Eyes Mascara: The Iconic Reinvented – Sample Size (4g)
I love mascara in all shapes and forms and I must admit this one looks a like medieval mace with it’s spikey applicator although it’s not harsh in the slightest! I’ve not tried a sphere applicator like this before so couldn’t wait to see what magic this had in store for my lashes.
This reinvented new launch of the original Phenomen’Eyes Mascara promises to give more length, more curl and more definition which is exactly what I look for in a mascara.
Admittedly, it took me a couple of minutes to get to the grips with the sphere applicator but once I had got the hang of it I was pretty much a pro. The brush surprisingly works very well, it gives you complete control, separates the lashes without any clumping and also manages to grip the tiniest of hairs. The end result was even more impressive and I loved how this mascara enhanced the length of my lashes with a very natural finish without compromising on the impact. It’s not the quickest of mascaras to apply but seeing the results and the precision it’s definitely worth spending the extra time.
3. Mini Le Rouge Lipstick (shade 202 Rose Dressing) – Sample Size 1.5g
I really couldn’t take my eyes off the pretty packaging this lipstick came presented in, it’s so chic and utterly adorable.
Rose Dressing is a warm coral pink shade that has a semi-matte finish and impressively applies opaque in one swipe. According to Givenchy’s description, it contains micro-spheres that “glide into the fine lines of lips and lock in moisture growing 50x larger to make your lips look plumper and revitalised. I’m not sure if I noticed my lips looking plumper, but they definitely looked smoother and felt much more hydrated.
This has to be the most easy-on-the-lips matte lipstick that I’ve come across and with it not being so bright it simply adds a touch of class and sophistication.
4. Hydra Sparkling Luminescence Moisturizing Cream – Sample Size 5ml
This velvety, feather-light hydrating cream is specially formulated for normal and combination skin type and it’s texture is soft and comfortable with a non-greasy, non-sticky finish.
I did open the tube and it has a light perfumed scent which smells quite refreshing however my skin is quite oily so it’s probably wise that I didn’t try this one.
5. Hydra Sparkling One Minute Glow Powder – Sachet Sample 0.5g
We all need a little skin boost especially during the colder months and I was delighted to see this innovative Hydra Sparkling One-Minute Glow Powder. It’s a micro-peeling cleanser with a light as talc texture and when in contact with water it transforms into a delicate foam to eliminate impurities.
The gentle formula can be used daily and it’s suitable for all skin types too. I’m saving this for that emergency skin moment and can’t wait to see what this does for my skin.
6. Hydra Sparkling Nude Look BB Cream – Sample Size 2ml
I love trying out new BB creams and really favour them over foundations especially on days when I don’t need much coverage or when there simply isn’t enough time in the morning. They provide a quick fix and tend to do everything from skin brightening to covering blemishes within one single formula making it a staple for the make up bag.
The Givenchy Hydra Sparkling Nude Look BB Cream is a multi-perfecting cream that balances the skin and provides 24-hour continued hydration whilst giving a flawless radiant finish. Its universal chameleon formula is suitable for all skin types and all skin tones.
The texture is a light fluid that feels super-comfy on the skin and simply glides on like a dream making it very easy to work with. The coverage is very impressive and managed to blur my imperfections perfectly which wins me over automatically although the end result was even more pleasing with it’s soft, natural and radiant finish, a result I haven’t seen with any of the BB creams I’ve tried. I think I’ve just found my holy grail BB cream!
7. Dahlia Divin sample & Gold Blotter – Sample Size 1ml and Gentlemen Only Intense sample & Costume Blotter – Sample Size 1ml
As well as the signature make up and innovative skincare the box also included perfume samples from Dahlia Divin and Gentleman only, all of which came within an organza bag.
8. Givenchy Purse
Last but certainly not least is the adorable and chic Givenchy coin purse which I’ve been lusting after since the box was launched. It’s the perfect companion on a night out which easily fits into a clutch bag and it’s good quality too and looks very classy. There’s certainly going to be some envy when I pull this one out of the bag on a night out with my friends!
My Verdict
Just visually, my first impressions were “wow” especially the presentation and the intricate detail of the wrapping, even the Givenchy sticker made it feel that extra special and it felt like a treat even before I had delved into the contents. I’ve not tried anything from Givenchy and this box gave me a fantastic opportunity to trial some of their iconic beauty gems, handpicked by Jane herself who I completely trust when it comes to beauty and with this in mind I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. In fact the box actually exceeded my expectations and turned out to be very worthwhile.
This box has been a great introduction to a luxurious brand which truly captures the best of the Givenchy and I will definitely be looking into more of their products.
I’m really impressed with my first experiance with Givenchy and I’m looking forward to visiting my nearest counter to find my perfect match foundation and to purchase a few of the items I’ve already fallen in love with, although I don’t think my husband will be best pleased on my new found obsession!
Another great box by the British Beauty Blogger and Latest in Beauty, thank you so much for the introduction!

http://www.latestinbeauty.com
I’m a big fan of Latest of Beauty who curate incredible beauty boxes and showcase worthy and well-known brands for a very affordable price. Since Christmas they’ve been pretty quiet on the new releases but I knew in the background they were super-busy planning and working their magic to bring the next installment of boxes for 2015. I’ve been eagerly waiting for a new edition and to my delight they have kick-started the year with a new collaboration partner Get the Gloss to bring us beauty addicts the Get the Gloss Beauty Insider Kit, It’s the perfect survival kit which not only combats the winter blues but also includes a selection of make up treats along with some fabulous skin pick me ups and rescuers to get you looking your very best.
The box showcases an impressive beauty overhaul covering a good area of beauty and includes well-known and loved brands such as Glamglow, Shiseido, Laura Mercier, Essie and many more. If that’s not enough the box is worth an incredible £116.
The Get the Gloss Beauty Insider Kit includes skin loving treats to brighten dull and lackluste skin, not one but two Essie mini nail varnishes and a good selection of make-up treats. As well as a fabulous line up the box includes a selection of generous sized samples and full sized products from brands we all know and love including a few new discoveries for me.
1. Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate – Sample Size 10ml
A brand I’ve heard of but not tried before is Shiseido and I was happy to be finally introduced in the form of their Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate.
This super-charged, boosting face concentrate is for youthful-looking skin and is primarily used for enhancing the skin’s essential multi-defensive power against visible signs of aging, environmental factors, and daily stress. It restores the skin powers to resist, protect, regenerate, and strengthen, leaving skin smooth and deeply nourished.
I’m usually pretty skeptical when it comes to “do-it-all” products that claim to cover a variety of skin issues with one single miracle formulation however I’m particularly drawn to the philosophy behind this product which in fact makes perfect sense after all prevention is cure!
2. Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner – Full Size RRP £12.00
I’ve been really loving the Eyeko range from their eye make up remover wipes to their super skinny liners and being a fan of liners in any form I was delighted to see a full size version inside the box in the shade black.
This eyeliner pen has a slim applicator just like a felt-tip pen which is perfect for those who want to achieve the perfect cat eye. The pen gives great precision and control and it’s so easy to work with and really is foolproof!
The pen also allows you to create thin and thick lines and has a good lasting finish with an intense shade of black which makes the eyes pop!
3. GLAMGLOW Supermud Clearing Treatment – Travel Size 10g
I could of literally done a little dance when I set my eyes on the GLAMGLOW Supermud Clearing Treatment as it’s something I’ve been wanting to try for while, mainly because it claims to address my biggest skin concern – spots! It was only recently that I tried the Youth Mud Treatment and I instantly fell in love with it’s magical results.
The Super Mud Clearing Treatment is an innovative facial treatment mask that works to tighten skin texture and pores whilst fighting common skin problems such as blemishes, breakouts and even ingrown hair. Suitable for both men and women, this facial mask absorbs impurities without affecting the skin’s natural oils, giving you a youthful appearance. This can be used as a full facial mask or as a one spot solution for blemished areas.
Typically, I’m spot-free at the moment and I never thought I would say this but I’m looking forward to my next breakout so I can give this a go!
4. Laura Mercier Foundation Primer – Full Size 30ml RRP £19.00
The Laura Mercier Foundation Primer is my go-to product, I use it on a daily basis to create the perfect base for my make-up however I’ve got about six of these now from various beauty boxes!
This foundation primer is oil free and creates the perfect canvas for makeup application, especially for those with sensitive and oily skin. This 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. This creates a smooth canvas which keep’s my foundation looking great and flawless all day.
5. Therapie Roques O’Neil Cherish Skin Repair Serum – Travel Size 30ml RRP £12.00
The Cherish Skin Repair Serum has become a top pick within cult beauty due to its skin healing and skin soothing ingredients including Argan Oil, Avocado, Arctic Blackcurrant, Broccoli Seed and Red Raspberry Seed, to name a few and comes from the skin and bodycare range by world renowned aromatherapist Michelle Roques O’Neil.
This wonder potion is packed with natural antioxidants and ingredients that its suitable for all skin types, it’s particularly soothing on sun damaged skin and its even suitable for pregnant women to ease stretch marks. This product is also suitable for use over your whole body and helps to condition, repair and protect giving you toned and lustrous skin.
The serum has a silky yet oily formula but doesn’t leave your skin with a residue and it sinks in particularly well on damp, freshly washed skin. Just after one application it left my skin super-soft and nourished. The scent is absolutely divine, with a blend of essences and it’s perfect for applying after a long day and is a real refresher in the mornings.
If you’re looking to treat yourself then the Therapie’s Cherish Skin Repair Serum is certainly something to consider, with its divine scent and skin boosting formula it really is a luxurious treat.
6. Daniel Sandler Concealer Brush – Full Size RRP £12.25
I was really looking forward to receiving this concealer brush by Daniel Sandler as I don’t own a specific brush and usually turn to the nearest smallest brush or even cotton buds!
This award-winning concealer brush mimics the shape of your little finger to gently disguise under-eye dark circles when used with concealer and is made from Taklon which is a synthetic fiber. Taklon bristle do not absorb product and therefore is the perfect texture for applying concealer type products.
I can’t believe I’ve gone without a concealer brush for so long! This brush works so well under the eye area and really helps to blend the product evenly giving a much natural finish. The shape of the brush really gets into the inner corners too and the bristles are really soft so there’s no tugging on the skin.
7. Essie Nail Lacquer x2 – Travel Size 5ml
There’s not one but two Essie Nail Lacquers inside the box in the shades Parka Perfect and Shearling Darling and their the perfect shades for winter.
Parka Perfect is a dusty light blue green with subtle iridescent shimmer. This polish is absolutely gorgeous and very wearable. The color is quite subtle and although it’s not a typical winter shade, I love the unexpected color.
Stearling Darling is a vampy deep blood red shade and would pair well with any outfit. It’s a little on the dark side but I really like it.
8. Balance Me Radiance Face Oil – Travel Size 10ml RRP £15.00
It was only a few months ago that I started using facial oils and having always been reluctant in the past to use such formula’s on my oily skin, I now happily slather these on to take care of everything from dehydration to blemishes.
The Balance Me Radiance Face Oil offers skin an extra layer of moisturising protection and enhances dull, lifeless, dehydrated skin with a radiant, dewy glow. It’s infused with eight oil extracts including Amazonian buriti nut, camelia and rosehip oils to help reduce redness, addresses uneven skin tone and minimises the visible signs of ageing and scaring. It also has a healing blend of yarrow and benzoin along with English chamomile, to create a super plumping and deeply soothing treatment.
I’ve been using this for a few days now and it leaves my skin super smooth with a lovely glow. With the ingredients being all natural it’s a great formula for sensitive and oily skin and a little really goes a long way. I’ve not had use a moisturiser in the evening since I’ve been using this and it does a wonderful job at keeping my skin hydrated.
I love the rollerball applicator which ensures there’s minimal wastage and it’s the ideal size when travelling. Another great product from Balance Me.
9. James Read Sleep Mask Tan – Deluxe Size 25ml.
I always welcome self tanning products during the colder months to achieve a natural golden glow to liven up and brighten my dull and pale complexion. I was delighted to see this fool-proof product from James Read as it’s one which I’ve used previously and due to it’s easy-to-use formula I fell in love with it instantly.
The James Reed Sleep Mask Tan offers an overnight tanning treatment in the form of a lovely light weight serum. Being the first of it’s kind to hit the industry, the lightweight formula contains skincare essentials that include aloe vera, cucumber, hyaluronic acid and red algae to moisturise the skin overnight. The self-tan ingredients guarantees a subtle golden glow by morning. You simply apply before bed, go to sleep and wake up with a beautiful natural colour with no mess or evidence on your pillows or bed sheets due to its colourless formula.
If you’re worried about the formula over accelerating over night it surprisingly doesn’t and instead gives a nice healthy glow without looking artificial or too tanned. If you’re disastrous at applying fake tan like me, this mask is completely fool-proof and applies with very minimal effort, it simply does all the work for you whilst you’re asleep!
My Verdict
Latest in Beauty have curated another fabulous edit in partnership with Get the Gloss. The box boasts a great selection of beauty fixes and delightful treats which covers a good area and showcases well-known brands and a few new discoveries for me. It’s the perfect survival kit which not only combats the winter blues but also includes a selection of make up treats along with some fabulous skin pick me ups and rescuers to get you looking your very best. It’s definitely one of my favourite edits from Latest in Beauty.
As well as the great beauty line up the box features nine items and includes a mixture of full-sized products and very generous sized samples. The box is worth £116 making it great value for money at an affordable price.
I loved the new collaboration with Get the Gloss and hope to see a close relationship forming between the two to bring us beauty addicts some more boxes during the year.
Latest in Beauty never fail to impress me, they are a company who get it right each time and their concept allows us beauty addicts to try a range of high street and premium brands for a fraction of the price. The box also includes some discount codes to redeem against the brands showcased within the box, which is great if you fall in love with any of the products.
The Get the Gloss Beauty Insider Kit is available now and you can use the code below to get 10% off your first order.

Get The Gloss Beauty Insider’s Kit by Latest in Beauty – Janaury 2015
I’m a big fan of Latest of Beauty who curate incredible beauty boxes and showcase worthy and well-known brands for a very affordable price. Since Christmas they’ve been pretty quiet on the new releases but I knew in the background they were super-busy planning and working their magic to bring the next installment of boxes for 2015. I’ve been eagerly waiting for a new edition and to my delight they have just launched the Get the Gloss Beauty Insider Kit.
To kick-start the new year Latest in Beauty have launched their very first box in collaboration with Get The Gloss, an online editorial showcasing expert knowledge in beauty, health, and lifestyle. The Get the Gloss Beauty Insider Kit showcases a beauty overhaul and includes well-known and loved brands such as Glamglow, Shiseido, Laura Mercier, Essie and many more. If that’s not enough the box is worth an incredible £116 and is available now for only £19.95.
The box includes nine beauty treats:
