Latest in Beauty: Beauty Guru Subscription Box

Latest in Beauty have recently had a make-over and during Black Friday they were offering 30% off their site. I couldn't resist of course and signed up to their new subscription service. See more details HERE. I signed up to their "Beauty Guru" monthly box (9 items) which costs £18 including p&p (although on Black Friday it was £12.60 which is totally bargainous!)

Inside the black "Latest in Beauty" branded bag (reverse side "Be Confident, Be Kind, Be Beautiful") are my picks:

I chose 4 hair care items from Living Proof - healthy hair 5-in-1 styling treatment (60ml), no frizz nourishing styling cream (30ml), prime style extender (30ml) and full thickening cream (15ml) - I'm looking forward to trying these out!

Staying on hair I also picked Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray (75ml) which I love. It's great to use as a dry shampoo but also for adding oompf to any style.

I'm a huge fan of ila-spa and couldn't resist a mini pot of their bath salts for cleansing (which I've used before and love).

I'm not sure if the Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss (3ml) (Gloss Black) is for me or if I'll gift it yet but it's a great pick!

I tried REN's Flash Hydro-Boost (10ml) recently and loved it - both the product and how plumped and radiant it made my skin feel and look.

My final item is Dongbaek Camellia Essence 3ml by Korean company Erborian. I've not tried much from their range so looking forward to testing it out.

Have you picked anything up from Latest in Beauty recently? What do you think of their new look?

The Dream Box IV by British Beauty Blogger

I picked up Jane's latest beauty box in association with Latest in Beauty mainly for stocking fillers for friends and a few new bits for me! The box is now sold out but cost £22.95 with free P&P (I had a voucher for 20% off) making it unbelievable value for money.

It's absolutely stuffed full!

Here are the bits I'm keeping:

NUXE Prodigieux Eye Cream (15ml full size - worth £18.50) being a huge NUXE fan I'm looking forward to trying this. It de-puffs and helps with dark circles. Expect a review soon.

I absolutely adore this beautiful scent by Shay & Blue (Framboise Noire) and this little vial (2ml worth £5) will be perfect for popping in my handbag. See my review HERE*.

L'Occitane Almond Oil (35ml - worth £3) I've tried the Almond range before and loved this shower oil.

Erborian CC Creme (15ml full size - worth £17.00) this was the item I was most excited about in the box as it's from a brand I've wanted to try for ages.

Maybelline Dr Rescue SOS Nail Balm (full size - worth £3.99) my nails are always in need of some TLC. 

Beauty Kitchen Love Me Wonderbalm (full size - worth £2.99) this balm has a delicious cinnamon scent. Love!

BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Raise the Bar (1.5g - worth £7) this is my new favourite lipstick shade! Really pretty and perfect for Autumn. 

And onto the bits I'm gifting..

Soap & Glory the Righteous Butter Mini (50ml - worth £2.50) a great cheap and cheerful product and range. Not a product I'm keen on.

REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk (25ml - worth £2.75) I've used this several times before. A good cleanser but I prefer balms these days.

KMS California Moistrepair Shampoo (75ml - worth £4.50) and KMS California MoistRepair Conditioner (75ml - worth £5.00) a great size but I'm trying to use more natural haircare.

Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hand Therapy (full size 50g & boxed - worth £9) I've got loads of hand creams to use so this will make a great wee Christmas present.

L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara (full size - worth £10.99) again I'm trying to use more natural mascaras. This one sounds great though!

Crown Brush Pro Studio Contour Brush (full size - worth £9.99) I know one of my nieces will love this! 

The final item is Collection Speedy Blush Stick in Tickled Pink & Cheeky (full size - worth £3.99) I tend to use bronzer rather than blush.

An absolutely fabulous box which is such great value. Did you pick one up? What are your thoughts?
