Latest in Beauty Editors Pick Box

This is the most recent Latest in Beauty Editors pick box, the box cost £9.95 inc delivery and when it arrived it was absolutely jam packed full of goodies!

Wow!! Don't think they could have squeezed another thing in!

Blackcurrant Balmi, full size and retails for £4.99 at Boots

I received one of these in my September Joliebox so I gave this one to my sister (along with a bag full of samples, she was made up!) 

Nelsons Pure & Clear Purifying Daily Facial Wash, full size and retails for £7.85 at Boots

This is a natural product that contains no parabens or fragrance and it is anti-blemish so I am looking forward to trying it out.

Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Bath Salts, this is a sample size but I'm not sure how much is in it as it doesn't say on the bottle.  Full size is 300ml and retails for £20 on their website.

I got the fragrance Amandula which is made with almond milk to soften and moisturise the skin.  The salts smell gorgeous, just like marzipan! 

You can use code LIB10 to get 10% off your order on their website.

The Vintage Company Tweezers, full size and retail for £8.00 on their website.

If you read my blog you will know that I am forever losing tweezers so these will always come in handy.  They have a lovely floral print on the other side and the plastic case stops me from stabbing my fingers with the slanted tips!

Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser, 15ml sample size.  100ml retails for £7.99 at Boots, making the sample worth £1.20.

I can't wait to try this! I am always looking for moisturisers that don't break out my combination skin and it's also a great price, smells lovely and doesn't contain SLS, parabens, mineral oils or animal ingredients.

Japonesque Beauty Fixation Tinted Lip Conditioner, Nail Polish Touchup and Makeup Remover.  These are all full size items, I can't find them in stock anywhere in the UK but they seem to retail for £4.99 each.

Mirenesse Secret Weapon 24hr Mascara in black, this is a 1.5g sample size.  Full size retails for £23.97 on their website making the sample worth £3.60.

Again I can't wait to try this! It contains an exclusive microwrap formula to form tubes around each lash.  The sample mascara only has a 1 month shelf life once opened so I am going to keep this for the Christmas party season.

Chia Bia Omega 3 Seeds 15g 1 serving sachet. 7 servings retail for £3.99 on their website, making the sample worth 57p.

My hubby claimed this when I opened the box as he is currently on a health kick so he wants to try it on his porridge...!

And if all these fabby items weren't enough they including an extra!

Weleda Pomegranate Firming Night Cream, 7ml sample size.  30ml retails for £22.95 on their website making the sample worth £5.36.

I am so pleased with this box, I haven't bought a Latest in Beauty box for quite a while but I will be keeping an eye on the collection boxes.  I think this box is sold out now, did you manage to pick one up? What do you think?

Ding, Ding Round 2 Harrods Glossybox!

Couldn't resist ordering an extra Glossybox this month with it being the Harrods edition, hubby phoned work to say it had been delivered (well trained!) but looking online I could see that lots of people who got theirs on the same day had the dreaded body lotion box (I'm convinced they send them out in batches)....

Yay! Only one body lotion, praise again to the beauty gods!

As you can see this box looks a lot fuller than the first box I received.

It says on the card - present this card at Molton Brown in Harrods and receive a complimentary hand & arm massage, along with a little bag of treats! Now I don't live anywhere near London, so if you would like me to send you this card in the post let me know. First come, first served!

My lovely assistant in work purchased this perfume last week, it smells gorgeous and the full size bottle is very pretty.  This is a 1.5ml sample.

More Molton Brown, different scent this time - I love the sample I got in my first box, so I'm pleased to get another bottle.

Anti-ageing moisturiser, I have a little obsession with the Sisley cream that I received in my YOU Latest in Beauty Box and while I love it I can not justify spending hundreds of pounds on a cream - so when one of the lovely ladies on Beauty Box Swaps put up a post asking who wanted to swap their SKII for the Sisley I was straight in there!

I was really pleased to find this in my box as I've heard good things about it and have wanted to try it for a while, its a 2ml sample.  Can't wait for the next night out with the girls so I can try it out!

This is a 4ml sample and while I'm pleased to try it out I do wish companies wouldn't put oil samples in a sachet, little tubes/tubs/vials would be much easier to use.  I'll probably decant this into a little pot so that I can get more than one use out of it.  I would have liked a bigger sample too, as I don't know how my skin will react using it once or twice.  A weeks worth would be much better!

And last, but not least the body lotion! I'm actually secretly pleased to get this again as I loved the one out of my first box and have already used it all! Ssshhhh though don't tell the beauty gods!

I actually like the first box I received more than this one.  I would have loved to get one of the perfume samples in the minature bottles and yet again Glossybox are facing criticism for the variety in the boxes!

I would have loved to try the Ojon too, but that leads onto another post.........!

Did you order more than one box?  What was your favourite item?
