Get the Gloss Summer 'It Kit' with Latest in Beauty

Latest in Beauty's Get the Gloss - Summer 'It Kit' is jam packed full of perfect goodies for holidays both at home and away.  It costs £19 plus P&P.

The first thing that jumped out at me is Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Refine & Polish Balm (15ml) which you can either use as a exfoliator or mask - I love a multi-purpose product!  See my review of the Miracle Cleanser and Revitalise & Glow Serum here. Looking forward to trying.

I've tried a few Anne Semonin products before but not the Eye Express Radiance Cubes (1 inside). You need to pop it in the freezer before placing in the little bag provided and then applying it around the eye area. Perfect to use prior to a big night out or the morning after!

Philip Kingsley Swimcap (50ml) is great for use before swimming in the sea or pool and helps with damage from sun and wind. One to pop in the holiday bag I reckon!

I'm a huge fan of Elemental Herbology and included is Cell Plumping Facial Hydrator SPF8 (15ml) it's a best seller which nourishes and plumps up the skin. I've used it a few times before.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR (10ml) love this little oil which is perfect with a sun tan! Use on the body and hair for a little bit of shimmer. 

Salon Science Aqua Cacteen Hydrasoothe Cooling Spray (150ml - full size) is an ultra-hydrating cooling spray which gives instant relief to dehydrated scalps and boosts hair hydration.

The two items I'll probably gift are Bourjois Aqua Blush (10ml) and Nails Inc Gel Effect Polish (8ml).

The Dream Box III by British Beauty Blogger & Latest in Beauty

I found I couldn't resist Jane's (British Beauty Blogger) third collaboration with Latest in Beauty. Costing £21.95 with free P&P it is jam packed full of 16 beauty products and worth over £110!

There are a couple of items I won't use so I'll pass them on. Here's what is inside:

Eye of Horus Pencil (full size worth £17.99) - this paraben free eye pencil has a creamy formula which is easy to apply, waterproof, smudgeproof and long lasting. I got Charcoal which is a grey shade with a sparkly shimmer. Love!

DECIEM Hand Chemistry (30ml worth £8) - I recently tried this wonder hand cream and fell in love. Believe the hype - use for 10 days and see amazing results on dry and chapped hands.

Salon Science Reglosse Smoothing Serum (50ml worth £18) - I'm always on the lookout for new hair products. This will soften and smooth. Can't wait to try!

Nuxe Masque Creme Fraiche - 24 hr Soothing & Rehydrating Fresh Mask (full size 50ml worth £18.50) - I'm a huge Nuxe fan so looking forward to try this suitable for all skin types mask.

The Scottish Fine Soaps Company Au Lait Luxury Milk Soap (full size 100g - £4.95) - I love bars of soap and this one smells divine.

Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier EDP (1.5ml sample worth £1.26) - I received the eau fraiche of this scent in my recent The Perfume Society Box and loved it so looking forward to trying the stronger EDP.

Dr Organic Cherry Lip Balm (5.7g full size worth £3.40) - huge Dr Organic and Lip Balm fan. It contains a SPF15 so I'll be popping this one in my holiday bag.

OLE HENRIKSEN Pure Truth Melting Cleanser 3 in 1 Cleansing Gelee (15ml worth £3.05) - I love the Truth Serum and the facial wipes from this brand. Looking forward to trying it.

Crabtree & Evelyn Pear & Magnolia Body Lotion (50ml worth £5) - this has the sweetest scent. It actually makes my mouth water! The lotion absorbs quickly leaving the skin lightly scented.

Bourjois Rouge Velvet (full size worth £8.99) - I got the shade Don't Pink Of It which is a gorgeous matt pink shade.

benefit they're Real Remover (7.5ml worth £2.18) - I wear benefit's mascaras so looking forward to testing this out. It's meant to make removing waterproof mascara easily without any dragging or pulling.

Orelia Temporary Tattoos (one sheet worth £5) - I used to buy temporary tattoos from Estee Lauder years ago so looking forward to trying these ones.

Essence Nail Polish (2 full size worth £3.60) - I'm looking forward to wearing these on my toes in summer (especially the pastel one). Pretty and wearable in nude and pastel.

Make up Revolution The One Fluid Blusher - Rush Me (full size worth £3) - I won't use this so will pass it on.

Vita Liberata Luxury Tan for Face & Body with mitt (20ml worth £9) - I'm not really a fake tan fan so I'll pass this one on too.

British Beauty Blogger Edit Box

My British Beauty Blogger beauty box arrived yesterday!  A limited edition box (there were only 500 and they sold out in a matter of hours). Jane has confirmed there will be a Christmas box (available in November) - I'd suggest you sign up to Jane's emails or follow her on Twitter @britbeautyblog so you will be among the first to know!

This amazing box cost just £15 (plus £4.55 P&P) and features Jane's most favourite beauty products.

Here's a picture of when I just opened the box. WOW!

Onto the contents:

Bess wanted in on the photo!

As a huge Jo Malone fan I was excited to see a 2ml sample of Jo Loves Pomelo - which has notes of Pink Pomelo, Rose, Clove, Vetivert, Suede & Patchouli - it's simply gorgeous!  Need to start saving for a full size bottle (30ml - £45, 100ml - £95).

A full size bottle of Trilogy Rosehip Face Oil (20ml - £16.50) - I'm a huge fan of this face oil so pleased to see it included in the box.

The next three items are Elemis Tri Enzyme Face Mask 15ml - I've also used this product before.  It is a gel mask which removes dead skin cells leaving the skin clear and radiant.

There is a Neom Hand Cream 50ml in Complete Bliss Moroccan Blush Rose - my most favourite hand cream...ever - so I'm pleased to have a back up! See my review here.

Philosophy Purity Cleanser 90ml - A 3-in-1 cleanser for face and eyes which removes make up, cleanses, tones and hydrates the skin.

Next up is BIOEFFECT Serum 2.5ml - I love this! It helps with wrinkles and pigmentation and brightens the complexion.

Melvita is another favourite brand - included is Orange Blossom Extraordinary Water 28ml - this is nice and refreshing for spritzing onto the skin anytime of the day. Can also be used for toning.  The Apicosma Body Balm 15ml smells sweetly of apricots.  Looking forward to trying both of these.

CND SolarOil 3.7ml - a 'hero' product which helps keep nails strong, hydrated and supple.  I'm trying to grow my nails just now so this little oil will help!

Finally the make-up!

B Mascara 8ml (£9.99) - Superdrug's own brand - a lengthening & defining mascara which is water resistant and smudge proof.  Looking forward to trying this!

Benefit The POREfessional 7.5ml - a huge fan of this especially to pat on afternoon shine.

Bourjois Cream Blush - this is a cute peach shade - looking forward to trying it out! Full size product.

Illamasqua Liquid Metal Eye Shadow in Electrum 8g - another full size product. This is only my second make up item from the brand so looking forward to trying it out.

Finally, a full size Lanolips Lip Balm 17.5ml in shade Rhubarb - I'm a huge Lanolips fan but not tried this shade yet.

Included is also a range of money off codes from the brands included in the box and an informative leaflet with a message from Jane on the front.

An amazing box.  What are your thoughts?  Did you manage to pick one up?
