Firstly you have the option as to whether or not you create your profile to let the Latest In Beauty Team know your beauty preferences, favourite brands and style and then some brands and products will come up as a recommendation.
The next stage 3, 6 or 9 of your favourite products to try each month, all with free delivery, so you know exactly which and how many products you receive. Your first month's subscription will come in a gorgeous limited edition make up bag which is chic and reduces unnecessary packaging as shown above.
So I was given the chance to try out the Beauty Guru option which involves selecting 9 products from over 200 in total which you can see listed right here, within a couple of minutes I had already picked 9 and I was not even a third of the way through the selections, so I was constantly adding, removing, re-adding and debating with myself which products I would really like to try. In the end I did managed to select 9 products and they are:
High Definition Bronzer in Light/Medium. The simple, silky and long-lasting powder is ideal for contouring, or just adding a touch of a tan, as the subtle pearlescent pigment keeps the colour natural and adds a satin finish to create that radiant look we all strive for.
Aloe Leaf extracts are used as a soothing ingredient to minimise redness and Vitamins A, C, and E offer antioxidant benefits.
MUA Luxe Palette in Paradise. With 10 eyeshadow shades which are super-pigmented with a sleek design which makes it easy to carry around in your handbag.
Anne Semonin Eye Express Radiance Ice Cubes. These ingenious Eye Express Radiance Ice Cubes are formulated with a powerhouse of ingredients to dramatically reduce puffiness and dark circles.
Marine Spring Water and Hyaluronic Acid provide a much-needed hydration boost, Ginkgo Biloba promotes microcirculation, Gourd Extract alleviates puffiness, and Bioflavonoids work to brighten the eye area, reducing the look of dark circles.
Living Proof Pre Shampoo Treatment - Most of us don’t think about treating our hair in the same way we do our skin. There are more skin cleansers, toners, serums, moisturisers than you can shake a makeup brush at, but for our hair we just rinse, repeat, and go (and not always repeat if we’re honest). Well, no more! Pre-shampoo treatment is here, and your hair deserves it.
Living Proof Healthy Hair Conditioner - This conditioner from Living Proof is part of their acclaimed Perfect Hair Day (PhD) range. While we love a good pun, naming their range PhD isn’t just for humorous effect. All these products are backed by hardcore scientific research and Living Proof’s own patented molecules. If anyone can claim to have a PhD in haircare, it’s Living Proof.
Ila Cleansing Bath Salts. These salts go beyond luxurious, they offer detoxification for anyone who is tired or stressed out and because they are designed to wage a war against poor circulation they actually ease puffiness, swelling and cellulite. Effectively ila have created a product which dictates that taking time out and lying in the bath is productive for our mind, body and soul...Yes please!
These salts work to leave skin feeling smooth and enriched, Juniper Berry strengthens and protects the body's energy field and Rose geranium and lemongrass actively cleanse negativity healing your body both mentally and physically.
Pure Konjac Facial Puff Sponge - For those of you not up on your Ancient Indochinese medicine (pretty niche we know), Konjac or Konnyaku, is a native Asian plant found growing at very high altitudes. Packed with minerals and antioxidants, 100% free from impurities and pollutants, and naturally sustainable, this wonder plant is ideal for use in skincare.
That's why The Konjac Sponge Company have utilised it's numerous benefits to create their eponymously named Facial Sponges. This lightweight little puff packs a serious punch when it comes to cleansing your skin and removing impurities. The unique net like structure of the vegetable fibres gently exfoliate skin, helping to get the blood flow going and thereby promoting skin cell renewal. No need for any additional cleansing products, just add water and puff away.
Anne Semonin Bath and Shower Gel Exotic Verbena. With a delicate aroma of litsea cubeba oil, this body wash leaves your skin smelling delicious and feeling squeaky clean.
What’s more, it’s paraben-free, so perfect for those with sensitive skin.
Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Napa Vineyard. This is a beautiful cranberry red shade in a matte texture.
The crayon delivers long-lasting moisture and hydration to your lips keeping them soft, smooth and oh so kissable, and the shape of crayon means application is easy and hassle-free, too.
What I like about this service is that if you don't think you need 9 products a month, remember they are not all full sizes, then there is the option of 3 or 6 which might be more manageable and you can also order a one off box which would make a great treat for you or a great present for someone else and you can find everything you need to know here.
