I've been a little mia recently so many apologies for that, life basically just got in the way and I couldn't really be bothered with my blog, but recently I've been really wanting to get back into the swing of things, so here we go!
If there is one beauty box I'll always go back to, its the Latest In Beauty boxes. They aren't subscription boxes, and are usually a fair bit pricier than normal beauty boxes. This one cost about £16.95, and it is definitely more than worth the money that you pay.
This box is packed full of lovely bits that are perfect for the summer months, the two things I was most excited about were the Nails Inc nail polish and the Eucerin Sun protector.
This was one of the first things I saw in the box, I was fairly intrigued by them and the designs are absolutely stunning! If I was going to a festival this year I'd be putting a fair few of these on, I'll probably put one or two on when I go to Bulgaria or if Glasgow is blessed with a hot day or two.
Next up is the Vita Liberata Luxury Tan Bronzer, this comes with a little brush to go along with it. The bronzer is a first of its kind - its a self tanning bronzer! Your face gets more tanned as you use it! A lovely natural looking tan will develop when you wear it and will last for upwards of 5 days. I can't wait to give this a try and see how it works with my skin.
My absolute favourite item in this box has to be this stunning Nails Inc Gel Effect polish. One coat gives more than enough colour to the nails, but a second coat never hurt anybody.
The Bourjois Lip crayons are amazing and recently I've been moving away from reds, I'll be interested to see how this colour suits me. They have two other new colours, a mauve looking shade and an orange looking one.
I have incredibly pale skin, and this year I'm finally going abroad and I'm going to need some serious sun protection. SPF 50 is certainly going to be enough for me, could maybe even do with a plus factor. Lucky for me I've already got a factor 50+!
I've wanted to get my hands of the Pixi Glow Tonic for the longest time, so this having a little sample of it in the box is brilliant for me. Hopefully this will do wonders for my skin, making it look and feel better in no time!
The Claudalie Divine Oil looks like it could be really good, you can use it on your hair, face and body. Apparently it can also make for a heavenly bath by adding a few drops to the tub. My hair is feeling pretty crappy just now though so hopefully this can sort it out a bit.
Recently my hairs been feeling so oily but so dry at the same time, and I'm just about up for trying anything to give it a better condition. This shampoo and conditioner hopefully can fix something with my locks.
Body scrubs are my favourite things to try. They are fairly hit or miss though, some are not harsh enough and others leave a horrible oily residue on my skin. I'm feeling like this one might be a good one!
Have you tried any of these products before?
I was out walking my dogs when I saw on twitter the new Latest In Beauty Glamour Beauty Edit box. If I can remember correctly I had missed out on previous boxes from them - le cry, so y'know like any rational person I decided that I absolutely must have it. I didn't even wait till I got home before ordering a box, dog walking and box ordering. The box costs £16.95 inc postage and its contents were worth £86 - I think thats crazy good value!
The box itself is lovely, the neon pink against the white back ground looks stunning - or at least I think it is. There was two products in the box that I was really excited for and new that they made the box more than worth buying!
These products were by far the products I was most excited to get my hands on, the Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick I got is in the Cherub - I don't think all the boxes had the same shade though... This is one of their new nude shades and retails at £18.50. Considering the box is £16.95, you get an amazing deal as it is worth more than what you pay for the box! I've not tried the shade yet but it looks like it could be a really lovely colour - maybe my perfect nude? We'll see...
The next item I was really excited to get was Magnifibres Brush On False Lashes, this retails for £21 on their webpage - it can be found for cheaper elsewhere but you get a money back guarantee when you buy it straight from them. I've wanted to try this for ages, I'd seen it awhile ago on blogs and the results it gave looked amazing! I'm really happy I get to try it out before spending so much on it - if it works then I'll be so so happy. I'll write up a blog post to let you know how I find it.
The Bourjois Cream Blushes were something that I'd wanted to try for awhile, but being rubbish at blush and not being sure about the colours or how to apply it I kept putting it off. The shade I got is 01 Nude Velvet, it looks really natural and nothing to crazy - hopefully I'll manage to work with this and make it look good on me.
Crabtree and Evelyn Nail Lacquer in Apple. When I first saw this I was a little like - what is C&E, then I looked at the bottom of it and understood - I didn't know that Crabtree and Evelyn did nail polish, I thought it was only creams and body things they sold, but what do I know - eh? I love a good red nail polish, personally I prefer the darker shades to lighter ones. This colour looks absolutely stunning! When you look at it in the light it looks like it has gold running through it - definitely need to apply this soon!
The Toni & Guy Glamour Volume Plumping Whip, this retails at £7.19 and looks pretty cool. It claims to give body and bounce - both of which my hair could do with. I think it looks like a thick body butter in the tub but feels a lot more creamy, it doesn't smell like anything special - I think just like typical hair stuff. I can't wait to try this and see if it can give my hair a wee bit of oomph.
The DHC Deep Cleansig Oil really interests me. It's £21.50 for the full sized 200ml bottle - for whatever reason I thought this was a lot more expensive than it is. I've never used a facial oil before, I just figured my skins oily therefore I do not need an oil for my skin. Apparently though oily skin loves oils, especially if you have dehydrated skin (which apparently I do). I'm looking forward to trying this, hopefully it'll sort my skin out. 
I think there is now a BB cream/thing for everything now, the Rimmel Sun Shimmer Instant Tan BB Skin Perfector retails for £6.99 and I'm quite excited to try this - I really like Rimmel tans, they are the only ones I've found work for me and they are reasonably affordable.
Hawaiian Tropic Satin Protection Ultra Radiance Sun Lotion SPF30 is available for £5.99, it smells so lovely - like coconuts, which is odd cause I usually can't stand the smell of it. It feels really silky and absorbs quickly into the skin, it should get a lot of use as it has been uncharacteristically sunny in Glasgow recently. And I've gotten just the tiniest bit darker.
The final item in the box was the Velvotan mit, it costs £2.99 - more than I'd usually spend on a mit, but it looks nice and I'll use it with the Rimmel tan.
The products in this box are really amazing, it is seriously worth the money you've paid for it. I'm not sure if there are still some left but if there are then I would seriously recommend nabbing one as soon as you can.
