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?

Latest in Beauty Christmas Beauty Crackers

I recently picked up these beauty crackers from Latest in Beauty.  They are great value for money and stuffed full of trial size and full size goodies.  Get them now at £12.95 plus P&P.  See here for more details.

Inside are randomly picked beauty products.  I loved opening all three!

In the first cracker is a full size essie polish, Caudalie SOS Morning Eye Rescue 7ml and a mini Caudalie Divine Oil.

Inside cracker number two is Inika's Liquid Mineral Foundation which I've wanted to try for ages so was pleased to see a 6ml mini in Beige inside. Also in the cracker was my favourite Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask 10ml (mini review) and a mini 2ml of Caudalie's SOS Thirst Quenching Serum.

In the third cracker is a full size L'Oreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara, The Vintage Cosmetic Company Tweezers and a Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Hand Cream.

I think these crackers are great value for money and would be great presents for sisters, mums, aunties and friends this Christmas (or a treat to self!)

Spending Ban - Update 1

After #NoBuyJanuary I went off the rails spending wise.  See what I bought here - all very lovely but I could have done without.  

So on 23 February I embarked on another spending ban with an end date of around my birthday in April...but I've decided to keep it going as long as I can (if I'm lucky enough to receive any birthday money I will have a beauty buy or two) but I'd like to see if I can keep the ban up for the rest of the year (or at least until the awesome Liberty GWP deal in October).  I know the only things I'll run short of are deodorant and foundation.

Talking of which...I picked up L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau de Teint Foundation in Shade 110 Warm Ivory (£8.99 for 20ml in Superdrug). I usually favour Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Foundation but it is so expensive. The L'Oreal one is a good dupe and less than a third of the price.

I also had my eyebrows threaded yesterday but needs must!  Here are my Wants.

I tried samples of the De Mamiel Rose Lip Balm and the Oskia Renaissance Hand Cream recently and it was love at first try.

Antipodes Delight Hand & Body Cream is still on my wishlist from January. I'm struggling to find a UK stockist for this one.

Bloom Remedies Peppermint & Lemongrass Foot Balm* - Marie very kindly sent me a sample of this gorgeous balm. It cares for and nourishes dry and cracked feet.  It featured in my A Pamper for Valentine's Day post.

Are you on a Spending Ban at the moment?

Samples #8

My last samples update was at the beginning of February!  You can see the post here.

Here are my thoughts:

Tea Tree & Peppermint Intensive Treatment Foot Pack - 1 treatment - these are foot shaped and enriched with the treatment. Smelt nice and were cooling on the feet but not sure if they did much.

Lavera Balancing Face Mask 10ml - simply loved this mask which was scented with ginger, mango seed butter and calendula.  Got two uses out of the sachet and would buy again.

L'Oreal Everpure Shampoo & Conditioner both 10ml - enjoyed using both these.  Would perhaps buy full size.

Neal's Yard Wild Rose Beauty Balm 2g - this was gorgeous!  I used it as a cleanser but it can also be used as a intensive balm or exfoliant.  I got 5 uses out of this tiny sample.  Would definitely buy this.

Sisley Moisturiser with Cucumber 4ml - I wasn't wowed by this.  It was ok.  There are other Sisley moisturisers that I prefer.  

Beemy Honey Moisturising Cream 5ml - I just didn't like the scent or texture of this cream.

Weleda Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion 4ml - simply loved this and would purchase full size. A nice light lotion which absorbed quickly.

Elemental Herbology Cool & Clear Facial Cleanser 3ml - this seemed a nice cleanser but as it was such a small sachet it was hard to get more than one use from it.

Cotswold Collection Jasmine & Orange Blossom Hand Cream 5ml - I seem to have thrown this sachet out with my empties.  This was lovely, supermoisturising and smelt gorgeous.

Comfort Zone Tranquility Cream - this was lovely.  It was quite a rich cream with a delicate scent.

Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub - a nice scrub. Love Dermalogica skincare.  I think I just prefer the daily microfoliant.

Trilogy Rosehip Oil Antioxidant+ 2.5ml - absolutely love this! My skin just lapped it up.  I have acquired a few of the mini bottles to keep me going.

REN Keep Young & Beautiful Serum 3ml - I just couldn't use this as I found the smell of it a bit off-putting.  A shame as I really rate REN products highly.

Evolve Protein Build Conditioner 7ml - this was nice with a light scent.  Would maybe buy full size.

Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Hair Treatment 8ml - definitely an acquired scent! I got a few uses out of the sachet.  Liked how soft and moisturised it left my hair feeling.  Would maybe buy.

Avon Advanced Techniques Moroccan Oil Leave in Treatment - I found this to be a bit heavy for my hair and I wasn't keen on the scent.

The samples I've chosen for week #9 are (and my sample stash is going down!)

Beauty Lab Micropolish Dermabrasion 1.5ml
Murad Rejuvenating Lift for Neck and Decollete 3.7ml
Elemis Pro-Intense Lift Effect 2ml
Belnatur Oxy-Nutrigen Regenerating Cream 
Eve Lom Morning Time Cleanser 5ml
Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm 5ml
Caudalie Deep Cleansing Exfoliator 3ml
Belnatur hydro-nourishing Comfort Cream
Sarah Chapman Dynamic Defence 2ml 
Laboratories Luzern Pure Cleansing Gelee 2ml
Belnatur Balance Cream
Faith in Nature Pomegranate & Rooibos Shampoo & Conditioner (both 7ml)
Eve Lom Rescue Mask 15ml
Yonka Vital Defence Intense Hydration Cream 6ml

Have you used any of these products?

InStyle Magazine - March issue

uh oh I have had broken my spending ban a little bit! (£3.80).  I always get InStyle magazine when they have their Best Beauty Buys supplement - gives me hours and hours of reading!  There is also a free 3.5ml sachet of L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil.

Marie Claire magazine this month (I've got a subscription) are offering readers a free Shiseido Lipstick - you have to go instore with your coupon from the magazine to pick it up - while stocks last. Next month (out beginning of March) they are offering a free Neal's Yard Bee Lovely Hand Cream worth £10!  I've also heard Glamour's April edition has a free Percy & Reed product attached - shampoo, conditioner, treatment mask, oil.

Latest in Beauty - YOU In-Flight Travel Kit

My Latest in Beauty YOU In-Flight Travel Kit arrived on Friday - its packed full of goodies!  £9.95 plus £2.95 P&P.

Xen-Tan Dark Lotion 30ml - might give this a try.  It came in another beauty box before and I think I swapped it.  LIB suggest mixing it with your regular moisturiser.

Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist 15ml - this is gorgeous!  So looking forward to trying this out. You can mist your face to refresh at any time throughout the day.

OPI Nail Polish in William Tell Me About full size - totally different from the two polishes advertised.  I'm not a polish fan so this doesn't really bother me.  I think LIB were replacing them if you got in touch. 

StriVectin-SH Age Protect SPF30 7ml - really rate this brand so keen to try this out.

Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo 50ml - love the tropical variety so happy to receive this one.  I have only recently become a dry shampoo fan.

L'Oreal Mythic Oil 3ml sample - have used this before fab product.

Acqua D'Alfresco Insect Repellent 7.5ml spray - not going on holiday this year may pass this onto a friend.

Garnier BB Cream 3 x 1.5ml sachets - used this before and like it.

Barkleys Cinnamon Mints - cute retro tin.  They smell fab.

Urban Acai powder single use sachet - add to a glass of water or a smoothie for a injection of radiance boosting antioxidants.

Good to Go Anywhere Wipes - single use - 2 x Soft Absorbent tissue, 1 x disinfectant wipe and 1 x sanitising hand wipe - handy to have in your handbag/on holiday.

StriVectin wrist band - wear this everyday and when it turns blue this indicates that you are exposed to harmful UV radiation.  Will try this out.

Did you  get the box?  What are your thoughts?  I love it!

Eyes and Cheeks

Another stash post!  These are my current eyes and cheeks products.  I seem to have an addiction to eyeliners!

Eyeliners:

Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner - a great dupe for YSL Waterproof Eyeliner.  I have several of these Avon eyeliners - Cobalt, Black x 2, Blackberry x 2.  Big Colour Eye Pencil in Green Mint - got this free from my rep.  YSL Waterproof Eyeliner - in shades Black and Amazon Green.  I've just finished my favourite in Simmering Burgundy.

Chanel Long Lasting Eyeliner in Jade - I've had this one a couple of years now,  gives a great bright pop of colour.  Giorgio Armani Smooth Silk Eye Pencil  in grey - its got a really nice texture and staying power and also includes a smudger at the opposite end.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Eyeliner in graphite - I've got two of these both nearly finished.  Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner - in black - this is my favourite gel eyeliner, a great price, product and fab for doing a dramatic eye.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on eye pencil - in demolition - a brown shade.  Nice texture and colour, great staying power.  Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner  - from beauty boxes - in grey and plum - not really used these much to be honest.

Emma Kidd Make Up School Eyeliner - in black from Red magazine.  Stila Smudge Waterproof Eyeliner - in Moray a olive green and gold shade.  This was from Glossybox.  Really love this.  MAC Powerpoint Eyeliner in Tealo - a pretty green shade.  Waterproof and stays put.  

Eyeshadows:

I won the fab MUA Glitterball Palette a while back in a giveaway from Sam at Honey Go-Lightly - these were my first MUA eyeshadows.  Gorgeous shades and really long lasting and sparkly.  I also won a purple single eyeshadow.  The Art Net Sparkling Shine Eyes quad was from Maria in my Asian box.  I got the Rimmel London sun Safari Glam Eyes Quad in my surprise Easter Bunny Swap also from Maria.

Clinique Lid Smoothie Eye Colour - in Sassy fras and Ginger-ly - not really used these much yet.  bareMinerals Eyecolour in Vanilla Sugar and Renew - love these neutrals, so easy to apply.  Want to get some of their pressed powder eyeshadows - the colours look great.

NYX Ultra Pearl - Oro Pearl - super-shimmery - not used this yet.  Got it in my April Amitee box.  Wet n Wild Ultimate Minerals Eyes - I got this from Sarah in my Easter Bunny Swap.

Mascaras:

My ultimate mascara is YSL Luminous Mascara Shocking Volume - I'm currently using a mini in black - I'd definitely buy full size.  I also love Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara.

I got the 17 Va va Voom Volume Mascara in my Easter Swap box, Bellapierre Lash Building Mascara in April Joliebox, Soap & Glory thick & fast Supervolume as a magazine freebie.  The L'Oreal Voluminous I picked up after reading a review about it.  I have several Lancome mini mascaras - Hypnose Doll Eyes, Hypnose and Hypnose Drama.

Blushers:

I've only got three blushers at the moment - MUA blusher which I won in Sam's giveaway, Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks in pale pink and a sample pot of Giorgio Armani Blushing Fabric - a fabulous light cream blusher.  

I really want to get a non-shimmery bronzer - can anyone recommend one?  Do you use any of these products?

June Empties

Here are my June empties:

Khiel's Hand Salve - got this in the Advent Calendar, smells of eucalyptus.  Enjoyed using it but unsure if I'd re-purchase though it worked really well.

Elemis Absolute Eye Serum - love this eye care product - have already bought another - it just works.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Cream - love this, have got a few of these from swaps and beauty boxes.  I reviewed the body cream here.

Kerastase Lait Vital 1 Conditioner - love Kerastase products so will probably buy this again as it lasts for ages.

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation sample pot - a great foundation will probably buy again at some point.

Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash - one of my favourites, I'm on my last one.. sob.  I'd buy again.

Tropic Skin Revive Firming Nourishing Cream - I got this in a swap.  Loved it.  Would probably purchase it again in winter time as its a fairly rich cream and too heavy for my skin now.

Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser - mini sample - got a few uses of this.  Nice product but expensive to buy.

Bamford Geranium Bath Oil x 2 - One of my favourite bath oils - only got two left now so will probably buy full size at some point.

Garnier Fresh Essentials Eye Make Up Remover - a good budget buy - would re-purchase.

L'Occitane Desert Rose Ultra-Rich Body Cream sachet - really fab cream, very rich and smells good.  Have a full size tin of this still to use.  L'Occitane Desert Rose Hand Cream - loved this cream - it was a magazine freebie.  Have another of these to use.  L'Occitane Divine Cream mini pot - really loved using this.  Looking for it in swaps/on ebay at the moment.  I also used a 1ml sachet of this too.  L'Occitane Divine Eyes - 1ml sachet - lovely.  Would consider purchasing in the future.  L'Occitane Baume des Yeux Eye Balm - 1ml sachet - enjoyed using this, would perhaps purchase.

Gielly Green Hand and Body Wash and Hand and Body Lotion - Loved these.  You can see my review here.

Sanctuary Hand Wash - nice hand wash and will probably pick this up again.

L'Oreal Everpure Shampoo and Conditioner sachet - really liked using these and would consider purchasing full size.

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner from Lush.  I bought this with Xmas voucher.  A beautiful rose scented product.  I'd probably re-purchase but it is quite pricey.  You can read my review here.

Vaseline Aloe Fresh deodorant - a staple and this one works for me.

Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Body Souffle Cream - love all Laura Mercier body lotions this is gorgeous, lightly scented with coconut and almond. Yum.

Iroisie Ultimate BB Cream sample sachet - this was from the latest Amarya box.  I struggled with this - didn't like the texture and I found it hard to spread on my skin.  So wouldn't purchase.

Japan Rose Bath salts - these were really nice - big pink salts which turned the bathwater pale pink.  Thanks Evelyn!

This Works Enjoy Multi-Tasking Lotion - I quite enjoyed using this lotion but wouldn't re-purchase as there are other lotions I prefer.

Pukka Radiance Serum 10ml and Pukka Deep Moisture Day Cream 10ml - I quite enjoyed using these products but I am unsure if I'd re-purchase.  The day cream was highly scented which put me off a bit.

YSL Waterproof Eye Pencil in simmering burgundy - absolutely love this although Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner in Blackberry is a good dupe.  Will probably buy again.

Antonia Burrell Natural Glow Cleansing Oil - I didn't like the scent of this, it was too overpowering and it made my skin feel dry after use so wouldn't re-purchase.  Luckily this was just a trial size which cost £2.95.

Prada Candy Body Lotion - got this in my Xmas box set.  Nice to use but would prefer to save up for another bottle of perfume rather than buy the body lotion.

Aveda Stress-Fix Soaking Salts - love these, make you feel totally relaxed and great after a hard day.  Will definitely buy these again though I wish they were a bit cheaper!

Lancome Hydra Zen Neurocalm Soothing Anti-Stress Moisturiser - nice product quite rich so I mainly used it at night.  Probably wouldn't purchase full size as its not really suited to my skin type.

Apivita Express Beauty Mask with grape - bought this from ebay.  Nice product.  See M&S now selling them online/instore so will probably pick this up again and I want to try the honey one.

RMK Cleansing Oil sachet - love this, got three uses from the sachet.  Will purchase this once I trawl through my numerous cleansers.

Pure Fiji Hydrating Body Lotion - lovely coconut scent.  Nice lotion to use but prefer the body oil in the range which came in Joliebox.

April Favourites

These are my five April favourites - the products I've found myself reaching for all month.

L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Cream (fair skin tone).  This comes out of the tube white!  It self adjusts to your skin tone giving you the perfect nude skin. I love it!  It's  great for days when you want a little bit of coverage.

Elemis Absolute Eye Serum - this is my No.1 eye care product.  Great for reducing dark circles.  It really works.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick in Boy - glossy colour which suits everyone, great for everyday use.  Super moisturising and such a pretty shade.

YSL Long-Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner in Shimmering Burgundy - a purple shade.  This eyeliner stays on all day.  I first discovered it in the Selfridges Advent Calendar (in black).

YSL Shocking Volume Mascara - this is a mini I got recently in the Harvey Nichols GWP.  Love it and will definitely purchase full size.

What are your favourites this month?  Have you used any of these?

Wish List #1

These are five products I am adding to my wish list (thanks for drawing them to my attention girls!)

Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm - Pink & Peach - reviewed by Victoria at Cosmetic Cravings

Rodial Glam Balm Lips - reviewed by Get gawjus

Aromatherapy Associates Overnight Repair Mask - as reviewed by Jude at Love Lust & Fairy Dust

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy Lipstick 05 - as reviewed by Sian at Quite Frankly

L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara as commented on by Been There, Done That, Got the Lipstick

L'Oreal Lip Balm Universal Lip Glow £8.49

A translucent lip balm in a lipstick case and shaped like a lipstick.  It reacts to the moisture of your lips to give an individual colour and subtle healthy sheen.  Lots of moisturising action but I don't notice any colour on my lips!  Would I re-purchase, no!
