When I saw that the fabulous Vix Meldrew had put together a beauty box especially for bloggers, I just had to sign up for one! They're only £10, including postage and you don't have to subscribe, just buy as you go.
Each box contains 4-5 full size products and is a great way of discovering new brands and products.
The April box is the first I've received and I wasn't disappointed with the variety in this one :)
Make Up Geek Blush in Infatuation - worth £7.95
I'd never heard of Make Up Geek before, but having a quick google, I realised that it's a much-loved brand by bloggers. That's why boxes like these are so good for discovering new favourites. I think the shade is a bit dark for me so I've passed this on to a friend. The texture of it was spot on though, as far as blushers go, so I'll have to try a different shade.
Witch Daily Primer and Clearing Serum - worth £6.99
This is without a doubt my favourite product in the box. I've been using it every day as I do like to use a primer before applying my make up and what a bonus that this works away underneath it all to fight off spots! I genuinely have seen an improvement in my skin since using this. It hasn't got a silliconey texture like porefessional does, it's more like a gel.
Maya Hair Styling and Curling Creme - sample
I haven't heard of Maya hair products before but I'm looking forward to trying this. Since I had my hair cut shorter, I'm having to experiment more with hair products to give it a of style. In the past, I've only been a shampoo, conditioner and hairspray kinda gal!
1001 Remedies Soin Millenaire - worth £69
This price of this anti-ageing cream could buy you 7 boxes, that's how good the box is for money! The cream claims to stimulate collagen production, which at that price, I hope it truly does. The cream is rich and nourishing, but I couldn't get over the smell of it. Not a fan sadly, so I've given this to my mum....Saying that, I've still been stealing a bit before bed because it does feel so nice on the skin.
Tropic Sun Drops Tanning Serum - worth £22
This is a completely novel product to me. You add a few drops to your moisturiser and it's supposed to gradually give you more and more of a tan. I've only actually used it once so far and I did notice a subtle glow. Will get it out more as the holiday season nears! It's a bit more than I'd usually pay for a tanning product but that's why getting these boxes is so good - you don't pay full price :)
Merumaya Overnight Recharge Cream - Sample
It's difficult to review a product with such a small sample but from what I've tried, this cream has a nice smell, texture and feel on the skin. I absolutely love the Merumaya mud mask so it was nice to get something else from the brand.
TOTM Tampons - worth £2.80
Well it's always good to have a practical product isn't it! I haven't used these yet but I'm sure these will come in handy. They're 100% organic cotton and will be good for those of us with sensitive skin. It's a bit of a rubbish time anyway without having any allergic reactions to deal with too!
So in summary, this whole box was worth approximately £108.74...and I got it all for a tenner including postage and packaging. You really can't get much better than that can you :)!!!
