YOU BEAUTY Discovery Box Review - January 2014

-
Well here is my first beauty box review of 2014.  I received my YOU BEAUTY Discovery box this week and here's what I received:
I chose the Organic Pharmacy Purifying Seaweed Clay Mask 5ml - I have always wanted to try this brand and I love face masks so I was happy with this pick although I wish it was bigger than 5ml because you need to use a product a few times to really find out if it works for you.  I will give this a go and report back.  This mask is a must for all skin types but especially congested and skin prone to spots and blackheads.

I also chose the Essie Repstyle Magnetic Nail Polish.  I love Essie polishes so I couldn't pass up a chance to receive another one to add to my collection.  I am not a fan of magnetic polishes so I will just use this as a normal polish as it is a great metallic colour.   I didn't get  to choose the colour that I received, but I was happy with the silvery dark blue colour that I received (its called Snake it up).  These polishes are currently only £2.50 on Fragrance Direct here.

I also received a packet of popchips barbeque potato chips and a sample sachet of AGE DEFY+24 hour brightening.  There was a voucher for £5 off 24 Hour Brightening as well.

The other choices available  for this box included:
  • Sanctuary Spa Active Reverse Body Polish Resurface & Refine Ultra Polish
  • Melvita Fresh Moisturising Body Milk
  • Ginvera Green Tea Exfoliating Gel
  • Thalgo Cocooning Cleansing Milk
  • Goldwell Kerasilk Rich Keratin Care Shampoo & Ultra Rich Keratin Care Daily Intense Mask
Overall this is not the best box I have received from YOU Beauty in terms of value and choice of products, but the options weren't bad so I will continue to subscribe to this box for now.

Which products did you choose?

 YOU BEAUTY Discovery box is available for £6.95 per month here.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have defini...

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes c...
