This is the 4th beauty box from Jane, better known as The British Beauty Blogger. I think this is probably my favourite box so far and I do hope she continues to bring out such amazing boxes. This is the second one she has done with Latest In Beauty and due to high demand it broke the LIB website, definitely something to be proud of! Luckily I put my name down on the waiting list and received my box within a couple of days of payment. Jane was great with keeping everyone up to date with what was going on which I'm sure was very much appreciated by all.
Onto the box -
The only beauty box that comes this packed full of goodies. For £21.95 you get 18 products and I believe a value of over £100.
Le Couvent des Minimes - Gardener's Hands Healer
This sounds like it's going to be a very intense lotion which for winter time is a must as there's nothing worse than cracked skin. This contains 20% shea butter and 7 healing plant extracts.
Burt's Bees - Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream
This is more of a wax consistence in that it is a hard balm which melts to the touch. I already have one of these little tins and really don't use it as much as I should. It smells really nice and I could imagine this tin lasting a very long time.
Essie Polish
I received Toggle To The Top which I have seen described as red and raspberry so I'm not sure what colour it actually is! This is one of 3 colours that can be found in this box. I'm really happy with this glittery shade, perfect for Christmas time which when I'll be donning it.
Kerastase - Bain Satin 1 & Lait Vital
A shampoo and conditioner I've not tried before. I've heard these leave hair soft so will give them a try.
invisibobble - the traceless hair ring
3 hair rings that don't leave the usual line that normal hair bands do. Great for people who sleep with their hair up.
Eylure - Brow Crayon in mid brown
This is noted as being long lasting and blendable. It is a twist up pencil which saves on product waste from sharpening. I do nothing with my brows but I know a lot of people will be happy to have this in their box.
Ardell - Demi Wispies
Natural looking lashes that I've heard a lot of people talk about. I've worn lashes before and found them easy enough to use, I may give them a go around Christmas when I've got a few events to go to.
Ciate London - Lashlights
I got Electric which is a lovely blue which should go nicely with my brown eyes, I may be wrong! There are 6 colours in the boxes, all look very bright. This is to be brushed on the tips of the lashes after mascara has been applied. I'm hoping this is going to be as bright as it looks in the tube.
Elizabeth Arden - Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF15
This is basically the cult Eight Hour cream in stick format. It has UV protection and provides moisture which is very much needed for this time of year. I do have a sample of the Eight Hour cream but am yet to use it but as a lip balm addict this won't go to waste.
LOLA - lipstick in Strawberry Fields.
This is a beautiful pink and I'm so glad I received this shade, the other available is Sunset Red. This lipstick claims to be hydrating and highly pigmented. Really looking forward to trying this out.
Sleek - Pout Polish in The Show.
This is a baby pink which I hope comes across on the lips, the other shade available is The Afterparty which is a hot pink. These 2 mini shades are exclusive to the box which is a treat. I haven't tried a Pout Polish but they look like they will give a nice gloss to the lips. Also contains SPF15 for some added protection.
mio - Double Buff
This is a dual action enzyme exfoliator which I'm honestly not sure what that means. Again another product suited well for this season, you can never go wrong with exfoliation.
NUDE - ProGenius Treatment Oil
This oil is packed full of omega which softens your complexion overnight. Since breaking out from using an oil cleanser I'm a bit dubious about putting oil on my face. I shall brave it and fingers crossed the outcome is good skin rather than all hell breaking loose.
The Body Shop - Beautifying Oil
There are 9 different scents for this box and I got Cocoa Butter which smells lovely. I have had one of these before in Mango and ended up using it as a bath oil as I found it a bit too messy. It worked just as well at moisturising. This is a dry oil which can be used on body, face and hair.
Agent Provocateur - Fatale
Perfume sample. I'm never interested in these samples but I know lots of people do enjoy them.
Vichy - Aqualia Thermal Light
This is good for normal to combination skin, this gel-crème adds a nice boost of moisture into dry and tight feeling skin. It also gives 48 hour hydration so I could imagine this would benefit people with really dry skin. Hopefully this won't be too heavy for me as I find a lot of moisturisers are.
Bourjois - Delice de Poudre Duo
This is their best selling product, a bronzer and highlighter duo. I never use bronzer so I won't get any use from this but it is still an amazing product to find in the box. You can tell Jane really put a lot of thought into the contents.
Over all this box was definitely worth the money and I'm really looking forward to trying a lot out. As always a lot of thought went into this and she handled the website problems perfectly. Another box well done.
