YOU Beauty Discovery February Box

This months box is all about Red Carpet Glamour.

For those of you who haven't heard of this box before, it is a monthly subscription box (you can cancel at any time) where you choose two picks from a choice of about 10 items plus everyone gets the same couple of freebies.  The box is priced at a brilliant price of £6.95 inc postage!

Postage is fast, I only choose my items at the beginning of the week and the box arrived via courier last night.

There is always a little magazine included that has details on all the products that you can pick from in the month as well as a few beauty related articles.

I choose:

Teeez Mysterious Crystal Eyeliner - I received the shade smokey quartz, it is a gorgeous steel grey with sparkles of green and pink.  Once this sets it doesn't budge! The eyeliner is double ended and has a smudger and a sharpener, very handy!  This is a full size item and retails at £13.95 here.  I also love the packaging it is very quirky! I have not heard of this brand before but will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of their products.

Glamglow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment 15ml - this is a celebrity and bloggers fave! A mud face mask that leaves the skin moisturised and glowing. 50ml retails for £34.99 here making the sample worth £10.50.

These are the two freebies that everyone gets in their February box. 

Charles Worthington Instant Amplifying Volume Treatment 20ml sachet, 200ml retails for £14.99 here so the sample is worth £1.50.  There is also a £2.00 voucher off Charles Worthington at Boots.

Beyond Dark Chocolate Drops with a hint of orange 35g bag - you can buy 12 bags for £10.00 here which works out at 83p per bag.  Oh my word! These chocolates are absolutely delicious!! I will definitely be putting an order in for more!

Yet again I am made up with my YOU Beauty box.  It is brilliant value and I love the concept of being able to choose what you want in the box.

Have you bought this months YOU box?

You Beauty Discovery Box - Party Prep

The You Beauty Discovery Box for December is themed around Party Prep.  I have had a box every month now since it launched in September and I have really liked every box.  They are an absolute bargain for £6.95 inc delivery.  It is the only beauty box that I sub to now.

The way the boxes work is that on the 1st of the month the new choices are released, you pick two of the choices and You Beauty add in a couple of extras which are the same for everyone.  You can read more about it and get yourself a box here.

The boxes are sent via courier and are dispatched quickly once you have selected your items.

You can see all the choices for the December box here.

My first choice actually consisted of two Awapuhi Wild Ginger products:

Hydrocream Whip 70ml - 200ml retails for £19.99 here making the sample worth £7.00

Hydromist Blow-Out Spray 25ml - 150ml is £17.95 here making the sample worth £3.00

My second choice was a full size, 15ml, Dr Nick Lowe Age Correct Eye Serum, this retails for £19.00 here.

The two items that everyone gets are 2ml Jimmy Choo Flash Perfume and a mini Green & Blacks chocolate bar!

Have you got this box?  I think it would make a fantastic Christmas present for someone!

You Beauty Discovery Box - Handbag Heroes

The October You Beauty Discovery Box is based on Handbag Heroes! 

This is the second box they have released, you can read my review on the September box here.  The October choices were released right at the beginning of the month and shipping is fast, my box arrived today via courier.

The box contains a small magazine with details about all the products for the month, plus beauty articles.

The concept of the box is that you choose two items from a selection and they include a couple of items that are the same in all the boxes.

These are the items that are in all the boxes this month -

Full size Nakd bar - I got Berry Delight.  The bars contain only raw fruit and nuts, no sugar or nasties.  I have tried a few of these bars and they are absolutely delicious, they are very filling too as they are quite dense.  I hadn't tried this flavour before and it is yummy!

These are the ingredients Raw Dates 49%, Raw Cashews 31%, Raw Raisins 17%, Raw Raspberries 3%, a Hint of Natural Berry Flavour.  They retail for 75p here.

A handbag mirror - these are always useful for putting in your bag, I'm forever losing mirrors and tweezers!

This is the first item that I choose.  A compact tangle teezer, this retails for £12.25 here.

I really like this! I was a bit worried about it being "compact" but it actually fits perfectly into my palm.  This is definitely a handbag hero!

This is the second item I choose Noble Isle Bath and Shower gel in Willow Song 75ml.  250ml retails for £20.00 here, making the travel size worth £6.00.

An unreservedly romantic fragrance, remindful of floaty green florals and mellow woods, enriched with extracts of willow bark and water lily, known for their soothing properties.

Fragrance Notes
