You Beauty Box | November

I don't know about you but I absolutely love getting post. I'm really enjoying this beauty subscription box because I forget all about it and then I get a surprise delivery! (And I'm not worrying about the surprise direct debit because it's only £6!) I always make sure the first thing I do on the first of the month is log in to my You beauty Discovery account and choose my two items before the best ones run out! This month I chose a Skin & Tonic London Steam Clean and Magnifibres brush on false lashes! So as you can imagine I was very excited to open it up and play with my new toys! But not before I took blog photos...


I've never heard of Skin & Tonic so I had a google and was very impressed with their organic ingredients and sustainable ways so I was really excited to have this feature in my November box! It's thistle, eucalyptus and spearmint so as you can imagine it smells really fresh and light. It can be used as a nourishing balm or a cleanser. You're meant to rub it in to your face and neck and then place a hot cloth over your skin to cleanse using the steam. I can't wait to give it a try! 

I've been meaning to try this for ages, false lashes without the glue and fuss, so as soon as I saw this was a choice this month I snapped it up! It looks kind of odd at first glance but I've heard good things so I'm very excited to give it a try, I'll keep you posted! (Check my instagram for the results!)

I'm always a bit dubious about trying new skincare because my skin is so sensitive! One wrong move and I could be suffering for weeks with blotchy skin. What I've read about this brand puts me at ease slightly, natural ingredients like sweet almond oil sounds lovely and gentle. 

This is a fruit powder designed to be added to smoothies, sprinkled on top of cereal or mixed in with your yoghurt to give you an added boost of essential vitamins. Sounds like just what I need during a cold November!

What did you choose for your box this month?

You Beauty Discovery Box | September


You Beauty Discovery box is a beauty subscription box delivered monthly. For £6.95 a month you can choose two products from the range available that month and they are posted to you with a few extras thrown in. Featuring a variety of new brands and some heavyweights such as Eyeko, Toni and Guy, Daniel Sandler, L'occitane, L'oreal, Cowshed and Rituals, there's bound to be something for everyone.
September was my first box and it celebrated You Beauty Discovery's 1st Birthday! 
As I subscribed later in the month, the choice was limited as some of the products had sold out so I would recommend making your choice as soon as you receive the email! (I'll let you know how that goes next month!)

I received:

This claims to dry your nails in 60 seconds, prevent flaking and enhance the colour of your manicure.

To give hair all day bounce from the roots. 


Containing SPF 15, free from Parabens, Intensely hydrating and moisturising.

Delivering recipes and fresh ingredients directly to you.

First impressions:
I'm quite happy with the selection, especially the extras as the Toni and Guy product is full size! The Mavadry nail polish is my favourite product in the box, I tried it on the same day it was delivered and it completely dried my nail polish in less than 60 seconds! Which is great for me as I'm constantly smudging freshly painted nails! Although it didn't prevent against chipping and flaking more than any other top coat I've tried. 
At first I wasn't too impressed with the Wild About Beauty Lipstick. For a lipstick worth £15, I expected the packaging to be better. The design is pretty but it's very lightweight plastic and feels very cheap. Saying that, the actual lip product is very nice, creamy and nourishing and the perfect shade for a neutral lip.
I am yet to try the other products so will review separately, overall I'm happy with the products in the box and at £6.95 you can't really go wrong! It's a lot cheaper than other beauty boxes on the market and actually gives you a choice of what you'd prefer to avoid disappointment.

AND I've just this very minute received my October box through the post so I'm looking forward to showing you that too!
