So if you thought it couldn’t get any better Latest in Beauty deliver another fantastic Glamour collaboration in conjunction with Alessandra Steinherr, Beauty Director at Glamour Magazine.

The box contains some iconic beauty brands and includes an excellent mix of 9 products,  8 of which are full sized. Amazing!

The box contained body, skincare, make up, hair and nail products. No part of your body will be missing out with this box.

This box will kick start your summer to ensure you have all the essentials you need whether at home or on holiday.

1.    Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick in Naked  Full Size RRP £18.50

This forms part of a new Glamore Nude collection at IIamasqua and has been launched exclusively in this box first. Now that’s special in my eyes.

A lovely satin finish lipstick which glides on the lips and has great moisturising properties . I love the colour which is a nude with peach undertones. It’s lasting power was also great.

This has everything you could possibly want in a lipstick from it’s moisture properties to its staying power.

2.   Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Lacquer  –  Full Size RRP £6.00

I didn’t even know that Crabtree & Evelyn did a nail varnish line!

I received the shade apple which is a nice red tone. The other shade you could receive in your box a light pink shade.

A great new addition to my nail vanish family.

3.   Rimmel Sun Shimmer Instant Tan BB Skin Perfector  – Full Size 125ml. RRP £6.99

For all you instant glow lovers, this is Rimmel’s first instant tan with skin perfecting powers in one easy step . It’s 9 in 1 results softens, moisturises, instant results, a healthy looking glow, even’s skin tone, covers, perfects and lasts up to 24 hours.

The shade I received was medium which I found a bit dark as I am quite pale. I would of preferred the light shade which probably would of given a sunkissed look instead of bronze.

The great aspect of this product is the fact that it simply washes off with soap and water which is great if you’re not a master of self tanning like me. I will probably go and get the light shade as I love the concept of the 9 in 1 and it’s hydrating formula.

4.    Hawaiian Tropic Satin Sun Protection Sun Lotion SPF30   – Full Size 100ml RRP £5.49

You can always rely on Hawaiian Tropic to deliver great suncare products.  I am big fan and love their after sun cream which I always carry with me when on holiday.

This is a sun tan lotion with SPF 30 and smells like paradise just what I expect from Hawaiian Tropic. Its scent consists of coconut and Jojoba oil and doesn’t smell like a typical suncream. A definite must-have for the beach bag.

5. The Original Tanning Mitt by Velvotan – Full Size RRP £2.99

This is a self tanning mitt which promises to give you a pro finish and has a waterproof barrier which will not stain your hands.

I’m not great at applying self tan but this will definitely aid the process and can also be used with the Rimmel Instant Tan BB Skin Perfector.

6. Magnifibres Brush-on False Lashes – Full Size RRP £21.00

Magnifibres is the perfect solution for those who love long, big, captivating eye lashes but don’t like the hassle of false lashes. 100 per cent natural brush-on fibres create an immediate and stunning false lash effect – achieving length and volume beyond belief.

This came in a pretty pink tube which wasn’t your average type packaging.

I love anything that promises longer lashes so was looking forward to receiving this and putting it to the test. Firstly this is not a mascara it’s a tube of tiny fibres which you apply with the wand once you have applied mascara. After 60 seconds you then apply a second coat of mascara to cover the fibres.

I started off with one eye first and then moved onto to the other as it appeared to be the easiest way. As soon as you apply the mascara you need to use the fibres straight away in order for them stick onto your fresh mascara. I didn’t go to close to my lash line either just midway. This does exactly what is says on the tin! I saw an noticeable difference in the length of my lashes and this didn’t flake after application either.

I’ve got lots of love for this and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a great alternative to wearing false lashes and doesn’t damage your lashes either.

There’s a fab step by step tutorial video at www.magnifibres.com which shows you how easy it is to get great lashes within a minute with Magnifibres.

7. Bourjois Cream Blush in Nude Velvet – Full Size RRP £7.99

I’ve been meaning to try one of these  cream blushes out and I have been saved a trip to get one.

This is a cream-to-powder formula  and has a velvety texture that blends into your cheeks effortlessly. It is enriched with a range of ingredients to keep your skin looking and feeling fresh for that long-lasting radiant glow!

I love the way this applied to the skin and adore the colour which I received. I mainly own pinks and oranges so it was nice to discovery another colour in a different texture.

8. DHC Deep Cleansing Oil – Travel Size 30ml RRP £4.50

This is a water-soluble Deep Cleansing Oil containing a rich blend of skin-loving vitamin E and hydrating olive oil. It helps unclog pores by clearing impurities and make-up, leaving your face a grime-free zone and it’s great for oily skin too.

I’ve heard great things about this magic potion and look forward to trying this.

A nice travel sized product.

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

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 smell nice and the formula is not sticky. You apply a walnut sized amount to towel dried hair before heat styling.

My Verdict

So if you thought it couldn’t get any better Latest in Beauty deliver another fantastic Glamour collaboration in conjunction with Alessandra Steinherr, Beauty Director at Glamour Magazine.

The box contains some iconic beauty brands and includes an excellent mix of 9 products,  8 of which are full sized. Amazing!
