There have been a few changes to You Beauty Box this month and I am not too sure I like it. It used to be £6.95 per month and for that money you would get to choose two products and then you would be sent two treats. Now you have a choice of three different types of subscription which allows you to selected 2,3 or 4 products with the prices varying accordingly. I now have the Silver membership option which are £8.95 I can now select a third product from those available on the monthly shortlist. I also receive the usual monthly treats, brand offers, FREE P&P, email previews and the option to cancel at any time.
This months You Beauty Discovery Box is titled 'The Jet Set Edit' and it is packed full of summer beauty buys, perfect for going on holiday with, preparing for that holiday and a touch of glamour. The edit this month features products for your hands, lips, face, body, Sun protection, perfume, nail polish, make up and your hair.
Now initially I had attempted to add Alpha H Liquid Gold to my box, but after a few technical issues, it wasn't to be and the selection was quickly sold out. So instead I had to make further selections and this is what I chose:
White Rabbit Skincare, Lime & Coconut Cleansing Water (30ml £2.25)
I have never come across the brand before and Lime & Coconut sounds like an amazing cocktail, never mind skincare. White Rabbit Skincare is a brand which hails from Scotland and is described as being 'Luxury Vegan'. So this Cleansing Water, as you can imagine smells incredible, I absolutely love it andit is suitable for all skin types! I have been using it as a first cleanse and it is great for removing make up, dirt and grime from your skin and it does leave my skin feeling so soft and smooth, it is hard not to love it.
This is definitely one of those brands I might never have discovered had it not been for a beauty box and it is something I am grateful to have found. A full sized 200ml bottle costs just £15 which is an absolute bargain.
Illamasqua Precision Ink Liner in Abyss (Fullsize £20.50)
This went into my box for a friend who absolutely loves it. The Precision Ink creates perfect lines with its long-lasting water-proof formula.
With a luxurious fluid consistency which impart rich, effortless colour in one stroke, Precision Ink Eyeliner is perfect for use on the eyes, but can also be used on the face and body for creating sensational makeup effects. As you can see, the Precision Ink Eyeliner has an ultra-thin brush which allows for intricate sharp lines whilst the waterproof formula stays put until you decide it's time to take it off.
Rodial STEMCELL Super-Food Glam Balm Multi (25ml £17.50)
Having tried the lip balm and liking it, I have been wanting to try the Glam Balm Multi for a while. Described as being 'a super-intensive anti aging multi purpose nourishing balm' it can be used in over 100 different ways to feed skin essential nutrients, restore moisture and balance out dehydrated skin. Using innovative PhytoCellTec Alp Rose stem cells combined with 3D Hyaluronic Filling Spheres it works to quickly reduce the look of fine lines and boost appearance of skin's vitality.
Glam Balm Multi is packed with a revitalising cocktail of super-food oils and vitamins skin remains protected and moisturised.
Key Benefits:
- Stem Cell (PhytoCellTec™ Alp Rose Flower): Protects against environmental stress.
- VCIP Vitamin C: Helps corrects sun damage an skin tone.
- Calendula Oil: Soothes and calms the skin whilst protecting against skin irritation.
- Hyaluronic Filling Spheres: Instantly plumps fine lines and wrinkles.
The Treats in this months box comes from St Tropez and it is their newest In Shower Gradual Tan Lotion in shade medium. I was really impressed with the original (here) and I am looking forward to giving this a try so I can see if there is any difference or much change in colour.
Plus there is a £10 gift card to use with White Rabbit and it has no minimum spend, so I might just be picking up another cleansing water!
So there you have the July You Beauty Box and it is a pretty good box this month, a really good selection of products. What do you think?
