The July Edition of my You Beauty Box has arrived and this month the theme is 'Come Fly With Me' and there was a great list of products to choose from to create your box. The list of products to choose from forms a collection of beauty must-haves, all perfect for holidays!

This month there is one treat within the box and again it is quite disappointing. The reason I love beauty boxes is to try new products and become reacquainted with some I might have forgotten about or absolutely love. This month there is one sachet - yes just the one and it is OMS - Sublime Enzyme – Exfoliate & Resurface Mask. Admittedly it isn't a brand I have come across before and there is seemingly more information than product and it claims that you only need one application to notice a remarkable difference in your skin. So the mask is described as being a "unique, natural, enzyme formula dissolves the protein bond between dead and new skin cells, delivering outstanding, immediate results.
OMS uses no harsh acids, abrasives or micro beads, which can burn or scratch the skin surface and may lead to premature ageing". It uses Cacti Enzyme, Wheat Grass Extract, Moringa Oil, Chamomile and concentrated vitamins, all which have powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
Simple Kind To Skin Micellar Cleansing Water (200ml). I like Simple skincare, it is great when you just want to go back to basics and it is a brand I tend to use in between testing products on my skin.
This is a unique Triple-Purified Micellar Water formulation and it is enriched with multi-vitamins and skin loving ingredients which are designed to give the most effective cleanse whilst leaving your skin feeling hydrated. It actively works to attract and remove make-up and impurities whilst helping to unclog pores supporting skin to breathe. This product costs less than £5 right HERE.
Physicool Pink Handbag containing Cooling Mist - So admittedly I chose this option because of the packaging, I was intrigued as to what was inside and how it worked. Pretty much as the description states, this is a cooling which, as soon as it hits the skin it begins to evaporate, drawing out the heat immediately and evaporating it away.
It is claimed that using this mist results in an instant cooling effect and also helps to alleviate redness, heat and night sweats. I have used this a few times and it doesn’t leave any sticky residue on the skin after applying and it does leave you feeling refreshed. On a hot Summers Day, for me a refreshing cooling mist is a must!
Salon Science Aqua Cacteen Hydrasoothe™ Cooling Spray (150ml) - This is a cooling spray with a difference, it isn't for your skin, it is for your scalp. In the hot sunshine, my scalp can become really dehydrated, much like any other part of my body, the difference being that I moisturise my body more than my scalp, so this product appealed to me.
Described as being "An ultra-hydrating cooling spray to provide instant relief to dehydrated scalps, boosting hair hydration levels" it is really simple to use. You simply section your hair and Spritz the Hydrasoothe™ Cooling Spray from root to tip to rehydrate hair and to soothe the scalp. It contains the ultra-refined elixir of both AquaCacteen Organic Cactus which are said to help shield the hair and scalp against environmental stress and help prevent further irritation. Add to that is the addition of the soothing and moisturising actives such as Aloe and Panthenol to help refresh and provide instant relief to a tight, dehydrated scalp and instant hydration to dry hair. If you like the sound of this, then you can find it HERE for just £10.
So despite this months treat being a real let down, I do have three amazing brands with amazing products that I have wanted to try and now am and have. The You Beauty Box is one of the best around and for just £8.95 which includes P&P.
