You Beauty Boxes Review – Feb & March
Not a buy one get one free I’m afraid! but a 2 in 1 post of the You Beauty Boxes I have recently received.
As you know I subscribe to You Beauty Box as a Silver Member (£8.95 per month). To be honest some months are better than others, (January was such a disappointment I didn’t even write a post 😞) however one of the things I still really like about the You Boxes opposed to some of the others (i.e. Birchbox – been there, done that) is you get to choose a couple of the products yourself. Personally I always go first for skincare, then hair, make up last.
Pleased to report that after a blip in January the boxes are back on track – see below
February
I haven’t had a chance to try all of the goodies yet, however I have started my Argan Moroccan Rose Super Repair Hand & Nail Cream which is rather lovely. I love anything pink plus it makes sense that a hand cream should include ingredients to benefit your nails. I am all about the nails when I apply my cream, I massage it into my cuticles as I feel this helps my nails to grow. Delicately fragranced, not overpowering this is a full size product, available online and in Waitrose if you are in the UK.
The Feb box also included another couple of really interesting products Oskia Renaissance Mask and Sukin Super Greens Detoxifying Clay Mask.
The Oskia one has a butter like texture and in the pot it is a soft salmon pink colour, but as you ‘butter’ your face it turns white. Instructions say leave on for 10 – 20 mins, it started to feel quite sticky but I left it on for a good 20 mins, maybe more. You then add a little water and massage it around a bit, it will go white again lastly rinse off with water. It was very pleasant to use, I have read about how wonderful the smell is but to be honest, to me, it didn’t really smell of anything much. There is enough in this sample size for a good 5 or so treatments, it is packed with exfoliating ingredients so should pep up your skin, certainly left mine looking fresher.
Sukin are Australia’s best selling natural skin care brand, certified as 100% Carbon Neutral 🌳 Cruelty Free 🐰 and Vegan 🍏 This is a full size product, called Super Greens, this detoxifying mask includes kale, spirulina and parsley. I painted this on using my FAB Tropic Skincare spatula, and let it dry which took about 30 mins. At the time I had a few breakouts on my chin 🙁 so I gave them a dose of Super Greens. Good size going to last for ages, as long as I screw the lid on tight. Buy in the UK @ Look Fantastic
