Betrousse Pretty Beauty

My Betrousse Pretty Beauty Box* arrived at the weekend, part of the Betrousse concept is that you need to try full size not small samples to be able to decide if you like the product.  WOW I don't think they could have physically fit another thing in the box! 

Betrousse boxes are always well packed, the main black box is filled with protective packaging and the black box is then shipped in an outer brown box and sent tracked delivery to make sure that it arrives safely.

The box contains a menu card telling you the brand, product and retail price of each item.

The reverse side of the card tells you a bit more about each product.

Saffron London Black Cracking Polish 75p

I have not heard of this polish brand before, to be honest I am not a great fan of crackle polishes but I'll give it a go and see how it compares to my Barry M crackle.

Papier Poudre Gift Pack of 3 Booklets, each containing 65 sheets £7.95

The booklets come in an outer folder and I love the design! White and Rose will suit my skintone but Rachel will be too dark.  I know a certain blogger who likes these papers though so I will pop it in the post for her to use.

Kesari Radieuse Anti-Age 30ml £47

This is an organic anti wrinkle cream containing extract of saffron flower petals, it claims to reduce surface lines and wrinkles in only 28 days.  It says on the card that if you are less than 30 that it would make an ideal gift for a friend or family member, as I am erm only just over 30 I will be keeping this to see how it fairs against my fine lines!

Cupcake Organic Frankincense & Orange Day Cream 30ml £16

This can either be the cream that I received or a Blue Tansy & Lavender Balancing Day Cream.  I love the name of this company! It is a fragrant flower cream with lemon grass, ginger and vanilla bean to protect and repair dry and mature skin.  As we move into winter my combination skin always has dry patches around my forehead so hopefully this cream will rehydrate them - the joys of working in an air-conditioned office!

Essyta Cosmetics Body Moisturising Lotion for dry skin 250ml £13.50

You will either receive the cream for dry skin or for all skin types.  I am glad I got the dry skin version as my skin does become much drier in the winter. This is a natural organic product and contains shea butter, coconut oil, green tea and sweet almond.

Yves Rocher Organic Refreshing Gel Cleanser 200ml £11

This is a natural product containing organic ingredients, it is a micellar gel cleanser with aloe vera to moisturise.  It is suitable for sensitive eyes.  I am looking forward to trying this product, I have been using a few different micellar cleansing waters but this has a very different consistency and I like that it contains a moisturing ingredient.

Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp Volume Gloss Pink £13.90

I love pink lip products so I can't wait to try this!

It contains sandthorn extract, with its moisturizing and plumping properties, increases the production of collagen in lips by 41% and hyaluronic acid by 67%

Vera Valenti Valetta Eyeshadow Pink £2

This also comes in grey.  Sorry Betrousse but I had a little giggle when I saw this in the box as it is the palette which caused mayhem when another beauty box included it! What I like about Betrousse though is you can see what you are getting before it arrives and from a box crammed with full size products this is the only item that I don't really like, plus when you are paying £19 for a box worth £122 you can't complain that you don't like the £2 item!

Arganti 100% Pure Argan Oil 60ml £10

You can use this on your hair and skin.  I like to use argan oil on my hair so I really like this product too.

I think this is an absolutely fantastic box this month Betrousse! It contains a great range of products and I am looking forward to trying everything (apart from the eyeshadow palette!).

Pretty Beauty costs £19 plus P&P  from Betrousse website and contains items worth a whopping £122. You can also read about the product and brand in more detail on the Betrousse website.
