If you love your beauty and your blogs, you have inevitably heard of British Beauty Blogger and her boxes. If you haven’t, Jane is a fantastic beauty-blogger who occasionally works in collaboration with Latest in Beauty to provide incredible limited-edition beauty boxes. I’ve always lusted after the offerings and this time, I couldn’t resist finally treating myself to the Dream Box III:
The box cost me just £21.95 including P&P and includes this huge array of goodies. I love that it is a one off purchase, without tying you into a long subscription of varying quality and there are a fantastic array of both high-end and high-street products. Out of the box, I only owned the Bourjois Velvet Matte in Nude-Ist before, but since it is a firm favourite of mine, the fact it was included was actually a huge bonus as I wanted another!
The box is everything I hoped it would be and I didn’t know quite where to start! I wanted to run through some of my stand-out favourites. First of all, I adore the Nuxe Masque Creme Fraiche. I’ve heard incredible things about Nuxe and was excited to see it included for the first time in a British Beauty Blogger box. This face mask is thin yet so hydrating and I love popping it on for ten minutes whilst I tidy my room or do my hair. Another bonus is that it’s clear, so I will be popping it in my hand luggage for any flights or long journeys for a moisturising boost for travel-tired skin, and nobody need know!
The Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Melting Cleansing Balm is a revelation. First things first, it smells delicious and the texture is wonderful. Like an oil but also a jelly, it’s the best way to remove my makeup and is simply a joy to use. Just a small dab is enough to deal with my eye makeup, so it’s going to last me a long time before I inevitably repurchase.
The Hand Chemistry hand cream is thick and nourishing, and great for replenishing my poor hands which are always dry. For my dry lips, the Dr Organic Moroccan Argan Oil stick is brilliant; it feels great on my lips and I love anything with Argan Oil in it. The only slightly strange thing is it twists the other way to every other lip balm I own. which always confuses me! My skin has been feeling rather dry and cracked after too many late nights, so these products have been getting a lot of use lately.
The Salon Science Reglosse Smoothing Serum is another new brand for me which I am now a fan of! My hair is in generally good quality, but this tames any flyaway hairs I may have and helps protect it from any heat from my GHDs. I also find it easier to brush after applying this to my ends. Finally, I wanted to mention the Orelia Gold Tattoos, which I am very excited to wear when I head to Croatia next month!
All in all, there is nothing in the box I don’t enjoy and I could go over every product and praise it! It’s by far the best value and highest quality box I have received, so I will be keeping an eye out for future boxes. It’s taken me a while to take the plunge, but I am now a British Beauty Blogger Box addict!
