You Beauty Discovery Box - July 2014

-
This months You Beauty Discovery Box is a travel themed box.  I have to say that the options were not great this month, but I am still happy with the 2 items that I picked. Here's what I received:
You Beauty Discovery Box July 2014

I picked Tan Organic Oil Arganic Body Oil (£24.99 for 100ml) - this is a multi-purpose dry oil and I am really loving argan oil products at the moment.  They really do work wonders on my hair and skin, so I am looking forward to trying this out.

The 2nd product that I chose was L'Oreal Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara (full size worth £8.99).  I like L'Oreal mascaras and this one promises mega volume.  I haven't tried it out yet as I have too many opened mascaras on the go at the moment, but I will report back when I have used it.

Everyone received a sachet of Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream,  a 2ml sample of Agent Provocateur Fatale Eau de Parfum (which is very sultry and peppery, rather nice actually) and a 50ml Dove Men +Care Pro-Moisture Shave Cream.  I will try this out next time I shave my legs I think.

Other choices this month included:

Archeia Rose Rejuvenating Cream - 5ml
Dr Bonner's All-One Hemp Lavender Pure-Castille Soap - 34g
Abahna White Grapefruit & May Chang Bath Gel - 35ml
Green People Sun Lotion SPF15 With Tan Accelerator - 20ml
Tan Organic Self Tan Original  - 100ml (now out of stock)
Balm Balm Rose Geranium Lip Balm in a Pot - 7ml (now out of stock)
L'Occitane Aromachology Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner Duo - 75ml each (now out of stock)

Another nice box for the grand total of £6.95 including postage.  You can join here.

 What items did you choose?

    I think I chose the Miss Manga and something else - I honestly can't remember but possibly the lip balm? I love that you get a choice of products even if sometimes the selection isn't what I'd choose personally because it makes me try new products!

    I also went for the Argan oil and I almost went for the mascara but have about 6 unopened so I refrained. I went for the Rose cream because a 15ml pot retails at £47.99!!! I wanted to find out what is so great about it. I agree it wasn't such a great box this month.

    I was tempted by the cream, but a 5ml sample would last me one application as I like to be generous since I have so much stuff.

    Hi Jaq I think its great that you get a choice and for £6.95 the choice is pretty good, not all my cup of tea, but like you say its an opportunity to try products you would not normally buy.

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...
