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 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!
