If It wasn't for beauty boxes...

Monday, 6 February 2012


Beauty boxes have become huge over the past year and I can really see why. Its such an amazing idea and a great thing to sign up for if you want to explore the beauty market. As well as learning about products, which I think is vital for beauty bloggers especially as we like to share our knowings onto others. I personally think there is no better way to learn about products than to try them out in the comfort of our own home! I have really enjoyed receiving beauty boxes because I have discovered some amazing products that I never would of tried before and also ones that will be with me for a long time. So I thought it would be good to do a 'If it wasn't for beauty boxes' post!

If It wasn't for beauty boxes...

HD Brows Palette - I wouldn't be filling in my eyebrows, well I probably would but it may have taken me a lot longer to take the plunge. I honestly don't see how I never done it before. Its so vital for framing your face and finishing of a polished look. This is all round a great product, I use shade Ash Brown for reference. (Glossybox)

Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque & Multivitamin Thermafoliant - I wouldn't have known what its like to have my softest skin yet. These products are incredible. They make my skin soft, radiant and a hell of a lot better looking. I tend to use these once a week to give my skin a little love. I was a fan of Dermalogica before using these products and I would love to purchase the full size once these have run out. (Glossybox)

Colbert MD - I wouldn't have realised how important it is to keep your under eye area hydrated. Not only will eye creams keep your delicate eyes hydrated, but it will also prevent signs of ageing. Its never too young to start! Its a shame that the price of this eye cream comes around the £100 mark because its such a great product. (Boudoir Prive, now Jolie Box)

Nuxe Dry Oil - I would still be scared to put oils on my face, this dry oil from Nuxe is incredible. During the colder months I suffer with dry skin around my nose and the odd patch here and there. Placing this night and day under my moisturisers works a treat! It does exactly what it says on the bottle - nourish, repairs and softens. Because its a dry oil this means it instantly makes your skin so soft and none greasy! Perfect for all skin types. (Boudoir Prive, now Jolie Box)
P.s You can also use it on your body & hair, bonus!

Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle - I would not have discovered an amazing shade & brand. I'm not the one to purchase nail varnish from higher end brands, but after using this one I will definitely be purchasing more shades from Deborah Lippmann. Great quality & great payoff. One of my ultimate favourites in my collection. (Glossybox)

I hope you have enjoyed this post and I would love for other bloggers to see this as a tag and do the same post, pick items from beauty boxes that you love or hate and share your own 'If it wasn't for beauty boxes' stories. Link me on twitter if you do it, I tag everyone!

  13. I'm still on the fence regarding these boxes but that Deborah Lippmann was definitely a total score!

    1. I guess its because they can be hit and miss, and it is likely you will regret that £10 spent! :) Thats why I only recommend it to people who aren't on a budget! Yes, that was such a lovely product :) xo
