You Beauty Discovery Box - November

If you are an avid reader of my blog, you will know how amazing I think the You Beauty Discovery Box is and you can see what I got in the  February, March, April, May, June, July, August September and October boxes. 

My November box arrived a few days ago and this month I was decided what I was going to want as soon as I got the list of options through in an email. The one thing I love about this box is that for £6.95 you get such a good range of products to choose from and this month is no exception.

Starting with the free treats this month we have the follow items


There has been a lot of chatter around the skincare brand Merumaya lately, ive been seeing it everywhere and in my box I have two sachets to try - a Melting Cleansing Balm and some Iconic Youth Serum, the two together apparently forming a dream team for skincare.


Then we have Aduna Baobab Superfruit Powder which is a rich source of vitamin C. It can be blended into smoothies or sprinkled onto cereal, porridge or yoghurt.


The rest of the box is formed from a theme of gift-worthy goodies and they were as follows:

  • Skin & Tonic cleansing balm
  • Roques O'Neil Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts
  • Rituals Hammam Delight Shower Foam
  • Magnifibres Brush-on False Lashes
  • Invisibobble 
  • Green People Forest Brown organic eyeliner pencil
  • Bourjois Cream blush 
  • Argan Organics anti-wrinkle range
So for me there was definitely a fantastic choice of products to choose from and I opted for the following:


The first item was the Roques O'Neil Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts which I raved about HERE and as far as I am concerned you can never have too many of these sachets in your bathroom because they are an amazing product. If you have never tried them before and I urge to do so.

"A blissful cocktail of therapeutic Himalayan mineral salts to fortify the spirit. Like a natural Valium, these bath salts calm stress-based palpitations, balance energy flow and help combat insomnia. Add to this blood purifying and anti-inflammatory properties, and discover that heaven is just a bath soak away".


This is a 100g sachet which has an RRP £9.99.


The second item is one I have had my eye on for a while because I am a mascara fiend but have never got round to ordering and that is the Magnifibres Brush-on False Lashes which are said to give an instant false lash effect without the fuss. As a full sized product there is a RRP of £16.99.

So for a £6.95 subscription, my box has a value of around £27 which is almost 4 times the value for money - amazing.

What do you think to do this? Do you subscribe to these boxes? What would you have chosen? If you subscribe, link your post below so I can see what you got.

Himalayan Detox Bath Salts from Therapie

When asked if I would like to try some Himalayan Detox Bath Salts from Therapie**, I immediately said yes. Those of you who know me, will by now know that I absolutely love having a bath to help unwind, de-stress, relax and escape from the real world for an hour or until the water is cold and I can't stand it any longer.

Now, this is a bit of fangirl post because I absolutely love these bath salts and it isn't often that this happens. These salts were created by aromatherapist Michelle Roques Oneil, who with around 25 years experience in the business has been voted as one of the worlds top ten Aromatherapists! These salts contain over 84 minerals and are infused with many essential oils such as Lemongrass, Lavender, Juniper and Geranium to name just a few. The scent is nothing short of being divine, that is the best way I can describe it and no sooner had I opened the packet to take a sniff, the water was running in the bath so I could try them.

These salts are said to help you de-stress, eliminate toxins, Detoxify your Body and they also help with insomnia, balance pH levels as well as counteracting the electro-magnetic energy we absorb from modern day gizmos - woah!! Or to put it another way: 
"A blissful cocktail of therapeutic Himalayan mineral salts, powdered Amethyst & essential oils of Lemongrass, Juniper & Geranium; these pink crystals work to balance pH levels & positive/negative ions, to help the body establish equilibrium. The Amethyst has a high mineral content, to heal & clarify problematic skin whilst counteracting the electro-magnetic energy we absorb from modern day gizmos. Add to this blood purifying & anti-inflammatory properties & discover that heaven is a bath soak".
All from a very small handful that you need to use as shown above and the salts themselves are a mixture of pinks and white grains making them just as pretty as the scent.

As soon as these salts come into contact with the water (they do dissolve) and then the vapour from the steam, the scent really comes alive and once in the bath it does truly become an amazingly relaxing experience and like nothing I have ever experienced from similar products and some people refer to these salts as being the natural Valium due to the long lasting effects. Once out of the bath there is a very slight residue on your skin which Therapie recommend not washing off, so I massaged my skin for a few minutes and then continued as I would normally do and shoved on my PJ's on and the next thing I knew my alarm was screaming at me to get up because it was time to get ready for work.

It has been a long long time since a product has given me the ability to sleep so soundly and I do believe it is this product because having now used them three times, once on a Saturday afternoon, where I was out for the count for a good few hours and when I did wake up I felt totally refreshed, the sluggish feeling had gone, instead I was alert and raring to go.

A pouch this size which has 100g inside will last a good few months and they cost just £10 which you can see HERE and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
