The latest beauty box to launch here in the UK is called Muuse. It launched yesterday on International Women's Day and I shared that launch on my Instagram Stories. Described as being a Unique Beauty Box, Muuse, has a team of beauty experts who get together to selected 6 UK based brands.
Each product featured within this box are made in the UK and some of them have been handmade to make it feel even more special. Within this box, Muuse work to highlight new brands and their innovative products which are created by female entrepreneurs to celebrate how amazing, we, as Women are - made even more poignant by the fact it has launched on International Women's Day.
The first product out of the box is the Doctor Formula Ampoule Hydrate Me. Ampoules are very much a thing right now with both high end and high street brands both offering up their versions.
This set of ampoules are described as being "your go-to product" whenever your skin needs an instant boost of hydration and moisture. Each Ampoule is made up of a mixture of renowned plant extracts such as Panax Ginseng and vitamins such as B1, B2, C, D and K which work to supply intensive moisture which in turn leads to create a fresh complexion.
The Ampoules are designed to be used once a day for 7 days, so ideal if your skin does need that pick-me-up.
The second product from the box is from In Your Dreams with the Aura Pressed Glitter Balm and it is incredibly pretty.
If you love a statement highlighter, this In Your Dreams offering, which has a moisturising gold base with hints of violet and metallic copper and as it catches the light, it changes colour and is incredibly pretty. It is made using ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Sweet Almond Oil, Wheat Germ Oil and Apricot Oil and not only is it moisturising but it is also buildable too, so if you want your highlight to pop, it will do just that!
The third product from Skin Glow London is a two-piece facial treatment mask which infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and Turmeric help to leave skin perfectly hydrated, bright and evenly toned.
Made from Hydrogel, this mask is designed to be use on freshly cleansed skin and left for at least 20 minutes, longer if you feel the need. The three main ingredients all have their part to play:
- Vitamin C protects the skin from free radicals to prevent damage.
- Hyaluronic Acid helps to lock in moisture and plumps skin to even out fine lines and wrinkles.
- Turmeric works to enhance the skin’s tone for a more even complexion.
This mask is a delight on the skin, the coolness of the hydrogel feels so soothing on the skin.
The third product out of the box is from Smoom with the Naked Night Face Floss, one of the most intriguing products I have come across.
Described as being a smoothing, remedial night cream which is designed to leave your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated when you wake up.This product is anhydrous, meaning it contains no water, so that means it is much more concentrated and less is needed when applying. It contains three main ingredients which are Shea Butter, Lavender Oil and Activated Charcoal.
On the skin, not only does the scent of Lavender bring about a sense of relaxation, but the cream itself has the feel of a fresh cream with a slightly bouncy texture to it.
From Beauty Kubes plastic free Solid Shampoo Kubes which are unique, Vegan and again, unlike anything else I have used before.
Each box of solid shampoo Kubes is packed with what is referred to as being natural, hair loving ingredients and gentle, biodegradable cleansing agents. These particular shampoo kubes are designed for hair which is said to be 'normal to dry' hair. They use Rose extracts, Coconut Milk, Pro-Vitamin B5 as well as Orange and Palmarosa Essential oils and the scent is just divine.
Inside the box is 27 perfectly formed cubed Kubes that each provide enough gentle cleansing power for 1 wash, this ultimately means that one box of Kubes equates to 27 hair washes and all for less than £10.
The final product within this box comes from Flo with these Here we Flo Bamboo Pads which are described as being natural, eco-friendly, ultra-absorbent. breathable and silky-soft.
This Combo Pack features 10 Day and 5 Night Bamboo Pads and are made from 100% organic, edge grown, sustainable bamboo and have plant-based and compostable wrappers. This pack features pads which are winged and ultra-thing but even better, Flo support charities such as the Orchid Project who work to end Female Genital Mutilation and Bloody Good Period who provide personal care and hygiene products for girls and women in need.
As you can see, all of brands that are featured within this box are as promised from Muuse, in that they are committed and innovative in their fields. This box has an overall value of £106 but, as it is a monthly subscription box, it costs just £15 which is a bargain. Better still, if it has caught your attention, I have a discount code which gives you the box for just £12.75 - simply use the code RachelS15 at the checkout.
