You Beauty Discovery

Since my October You Beauty Discovery box was super late, I figured I'd throw both the October and November boxes together to share with you guys as I've been left pretty impressed! I moan about UK beauty boxes all the time, so its strange to be finally subscribed to one that I really look forward to receiving. At £6.95 You Beauty Discovery, is one of the cheapest boxes on the market yet somehow they still manage to contain an incredible selection of brands every month! The idea is simple, subscribers simply pick two products from the list, and a couple of surprises are also thrown in every month.

Admittedly of the two the October box is my favourite which is a shame as it isn't available now, although I thought I'd still share in case anyone wanted to see an individual post on any of the products mentioned. I'll start with the things I picked for myself as they always excite me the most! First up was the product which made the whole box worth it, an Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick (£18.50) ! This alone retails for double the box value so as you can imagine I was so excited to see this on the October short list. I received the shade minx and I have no doubt I will be reviewing this very soon! The second product I picked was this MeMeMe Cherubs Blush cheek & lip tint (£5.50), which I've been eyeing up in superdrug for a while so was really happy to see it on the short list. Also thrown in to the box was this Cowshed serum and Gold Collagen Forte.

The October box was a hard act to follow, yet somehow this months box did pretty well! The first thing I spotted on the short list was something I've wanted to try for a while now, Magnifibres brush on false lashes (£16.99). Anyone who knows me well knows there's one mascara which has my heart, so I'm interested to see how this compares as they work in a very similar way. The second thing I picked was this Bourjois cream blush (£7.99), personally I'm a massive cream blush fan so cant wait to put this to work! Also included in the box were some Baobab and Merumaya samples.

So there you have it, the best beauty box the UK has to offer! Are you subscribed to You beauty?

Memebox Superbox #49 All About Lips

I feel like I say this every time I review a Memebox, but I definitely feel like this is my favourite yet and there have been a fair few (which you can view here). In case you've managed to miss my mass of Memebox posts, Memebox are a Korean beauty box service who ship to around an incredible 44 countries around the world. The site offers a range of different kind of boxes, although today I will be sharing Superbox #49 which has the all about lips theme. I pretty much have a draw dedicated to lip products so if ever there was a memebox made for me this is it.

RiRe Tick Tock Lip Gloss ($18) - Admittedly it took me a little while to work out how to use this one, you simply screw off the lid then press the button at the top to reveal a hidden brush. I got the shade peach orange which is a lot brighter than the shades I normally go for, although Its nice to have something different in my collection!

Cheek Room Color Lips ($10) - Surprisingly the only lipstick in this box is this one from color room. Although it has a list of pretty impressive claims meaning I cant wait to put it to the test! I got the shade Orange Peach and am starting to sense a bit of a theme in terms of shades here.

Royal Nature Paint Mousse Lip Lacquer ($24) - I was excited to see this 'mousse-type lip lacquer' in my box, again I got quite a bold colour in the form of 'hot place' which is a VERY bright pink, although its nice to have a different shade in my collection and I cant wait to try it out.

Shara Shara Petit friend tint balm ($8) - I think this pretty balm is super cute and cant wait to throw it into my bag as it smells amazing! The idea behind it is that there's both a tint and balm in the tin making it a fab 2-in-1 product.

Cheek Room Lip Tint ($10) - Most lip tints in the UK happen to be in those nail polish style bottles so its nice to she this one in such a practical form! Again I got the orange shade, but I love that this is a lighter colour and cant wait to put it to work

Very Six 6 Seconds Kissing Lip Gloss ($17) - Out of all of the products, I think this is the one I'm most excited about, its one of those glosses that adapts to you and I love the feeling of it on my lips!

Bottom-Top: RiRe Tick Tock Lip Gloss, Cheek Room Color Lips, Royal Nature Paint Mousse Lip Lacquer and Cheek Room Lip Tint

So there you have it, everything in my latest Memebox! While this box retails at $23 on the Memebox website, the value is an amazing $87 so you really get your moneys worth! Have you used Memebox before?

The Body Shop Haul

I'm somewhat of a Body shop obsessive, so when I spotted that I could get an extra 40% the recent sale I had to treat myself to a few 'essentials'.

My first stop were the famous Body Shop body butters! With the extra discount these worked out at just £3.90 each as aposed to the normal retail price of £13. I picked up three scents almond, blueberry and vineyard peach.While the almond one is an old favourite of mine I'm looking forward to trying the other two scents and hope they live up to the same standard.

Although the blueberry theme didn't stop there and I also ended up picking up the body scrub-gelee (£12.50 £3.90) and lip butter (£4.00 £1.80) from the line! I also picked up a chocomania shower gel (£4.00 £1.80) in the sale as it sounded rather appealing.  Last but not least I picked up the Tea Tree Pore minimiser (£7.50 £4.50), although this wasn't in the sale the 40% discount still applied and since this is a product I've been meaning to try I decided to go for it.

 

So there you have it, everything I picked up from The Body Shop. If you act fast this offer is still around and you can currently get 40% off everything with the code: 14672

Will you be treating yourself?
