Latest in Beauty - YOU 20 Years of Beauty Greats Discovery Box

Guess what arrived this morning?  My YOU Latest in Beauty Box.  It's fabulous! It comes in a pink and white cardboard box.



It's so worth the £5.95 plus £2.95 P&P.

It contains:

30ml Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser (with cloth) which retails at £5.25.

5ml Sisley Sisleya Global Anti-Age Day & Night Cream (50ml of this retails at £243.00!)  Would never be able to afford this cream so looking forward to trying the sample pot.

mini pot and brush BareMinerals Original SPF 15 Foundation - they have given us a tiny amount which will probably last about twice!  Still, I suppose its enough to try the product out - I already love this product.

Bamford Geranium Trio - the bath oil is my favourite! 30ml bath oil, 50ml body wash and 50ml body lotion.  I've had this trio before as Latest in Beauty luxury samples - gorgeous!

Dr Nick Lowe Oil Control Day Cream 20ml - a good size sample - will look forward to trying this.  I already love the cooling menthol face mask in the range which you can read about here.

Finally, a sachet of Lanolips 101 Ointment - keep reading about this so keen to try!

What are your thoughts?  Did you manage to get a box?

  2. I really wanted to get this, but forgot all about it on the sunday, so I missed out :( Only wanted it for the bare minerals to try it as I'm thinking of buying the full size, and the Liz Earle stuff. Ahhh well. Better luck next time :D

    1. :( the if its any consolation the BareMinerals sample is tiny. You may get the Liz Earle on Beauty Box swaps on facebook x

    2. Yeah I saw that it was only a tiny sample (before the box came out I think) but I didn't mind, as I just wanted to test it really as cream foundations dry my skin out. I was using Bella Pierre mineral foundation and found that it didn't dry my skin, so now I want to look at others because the cheaper ones I've tried haven't really been as good as the Bella Pierre one. I have a Lily Lolo one in a really light colour that I got from the Beauty Bible ages ago, but it's too light for my skin, so I mix it with others if they're too dark for me. I just want to find another decent one that is easier to get hold of. Have you tried the bare minerals one yet? Is it any good? x

    4. I'll check my local Debenhams to see if they stock it, I've not seen it in there though, but I've never really looked in there for it, only online. Do Boots stock it do you know? I'll check there as well. Don't have anywhere else near me that would stock it I don't think. I need to see it first to check my colour, don't wanna spend over £20 on the wrong colour match. If that fails, I might be in Croydon and Brighton in May so will definitely it find it somewhere. Thanks x

    5. I think Debenhams may stock it, John Lewis definitely does. House of Fraser in Croydon and oooh exciting there is a Bare Escentuals boutique in Brighton!! (and at Debenhams) x

  6. Am waiting for mine to arrive, it looks so good! Couldn't believe all of the drama that went into purchasing it though - did you manage to get yours before the site went down or did you have to email for the reservation list? x
