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.
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.
