A Beauty Box Review
(I’m Addicted to Beauty Boxes!)
I first discovered this beauty box by reading a review by [Which Beauty Box]. She subscribes to a lot of monthly beauty boxes and reviews them all by products, value for money etc, so if you’re unsure of which beauty box would be best for you to subscribe to I would definitely check her out! (My last blog is a reblog of her Glossybox review so you can find her through there).
I am now subscribed to 2 beauty boxes, the Glossybox by Superdrug (you can see reviews in previous posts) and now I’ve subscribed to the you beauty discovery box. This box is smaller than most beauty boxes but it is only £6.95 per month INCLUDING p&p which is great.
Its also a great box because you can actually have a say in what you want to receive, don’t get me wrong I do love surprises but I do love this option! Each month they post a shortlist of products and you choose two from the list to get in your box, then they usually add a couple of freebies too.
Items To Choose From This Month
This months Shortlist consisted of: Cowshed- Slender cow extra firming body butter; Herbacin- hand cream; Rituals- zensational organic rice milk & cherry blossom foaming shower gel sensation; HER- 300 trecento revitalising hair treatment; Transformulas- Face contour & tightening crème; Urban Veda- Daily Purifying Facial Wash; L’Oreal paris- Infallible 24h lip colour in either flawless fuchsia or timeless rose.
My Box 🙂
I opted for the Urban Veda Daily Purifying Facial Wash & L’Oreal Paris Lip Colour in Timeless rose.
£7.99 for 150ml
I’ve heard great things about Urban Veda Products as it is all natural ingredients [ *No SLS *No Parabens *No GM Ingredients] but have always been really wary when trying out new skincare products, but I thought whilst I’m in the midst of altering my facial care routine now would be the perfect time to try it, especially seen as it is the smaller size of 20ml so if it didn’t agree with my skin I wouldn’t be wasted much money or product. As soon as I opened it the smell was delicious! It really is a great product and I will definitely be buying the full size product when this has gone.

£9.99 in Superdrug
I chose the L’Oreal Paris Infallible 24h Lip because I am a lip colour whore-der. I’ve slowly been trying to get away from wearing my bright red lip when I go out so I’ve been looking for some other colours that would work well with skin tone/hair colour as I’ve gone to a darker blonde rather than the bleach bombshell look I had before. I love this colour because it’s neutral enough to wear in the day as we’ll as at night, I think this will definitely be a summer BBQ favourite! and it really does last a long time, its even difficult to get off with make up wipes (another reason I went for the more neutral colour) It’s also a full size product so I’m going to get plenty of wear out of it.
This months freebies were an Expandable Pink Face Cloth which comes shaped as a heart which is gorgeous, plus its pink! who doesn’t like pink 🙂 and a face mask from Montagne Jeunesse which is a Dead Sea Mud Spa, I love pampering myself with a good face mask and have used many by this brand, I’ve never found one that didn’t make my skin feel luscious and I’m sure this one won’t be any different.
