Having been disappointed not to get the first Cohorted box, I did manage to get my hands on the March box but not the April Box - ooh Cohorted you don't half know how to play with my emotions! Anyway, I shall be watching with interest as to what the April box contains before sobbing into my tissues.
I think the first thing I should be saying is that the actual box itself is really nicely put together, someone has put some thought into the presentation and whoever sits and ties all the bows, it is such a nice personal touch. When I opened my box, I had annoyingly seen some spoilers, not to self - Stay off Twitter! However, not deterred by the spoliers, I was still chuffed to see the contents which consisted of full sized products from Too Faced, Sleek, bareMinerals plus a sample size of Urban Decay mascara which I have been wanting to try.
"Our amazing ActiveSoil Complex in it's most concentrated form. This powder formula dramatically reduces the appearance of pores, improves skin tone and texture, and increases luminosity."
The next item comes from one of my favourite brands Too Faced by way of a single eyeshadow and I got the shade Copper Peony which is a stunningly bright copper shade which is really pigmented and will suit all skin types, even my own almost porcelain shade. Described as follows:
"The eye-shadow shade will compliment any type of look you want to achieve. Elegant or rocker, a beautiful shimmer accessory for both day and night"
Now I am also a sucker for pretty packaging and this definitely wins the beauty in the box award for being pretty, flower shaped with a little clear see through circle, you can see the shade in the palette.
Finally, there is a sample of Urban Decays 'Perversion' mascara, an item that has been on my wishlist ever since I saw it at the counter in Debenhams. It is in shade black and described as being:
"A volumising mascara that defines each lash. The brush glides and creates bigger, blacker, badder lashes. Perversion mascara never gets brittle or clumpy"
I really like the wand on this mascara, it is huge and it is so easy to use.

The first item that caught my attention in the box comes from bareMinerals, which isn't a brand I have too much experience with. Said to be worth a whopping £45 it is described as bring the 'Pure Transformation Night Treatment' in shade light. Described as being:
I am quite looking forward to giving this a try, more so because the brush really intrigues me.
The next product is by Sleek and it is the Precious Metals Highlighter Palette for face and body which has an RRP £9.99. Within the palette there are four different shades, three are cream highlighters and one is a powder and they are accompanied by a little applicator brush and a handy mirror. It is described as being:
"The versatile face and body highlighting palette compliments all skin tones, and the metallic finishes add a radiant glow and a luminous polish to the skin"
L-R Platinum, Royal Gold, Renaissance Gold and Antique Bronze |
With shade names such as Platinum, Royal Gold, Renaissance Gold and Antique Bronze, it makes for a truly stunning palette.
"The eye-shadow shade will compliment any type of look you want to achieve. Elegant or rocker, a beautiful shimmer accessory for both day and night"

So there you have it, the March Cohorted box and I am sure, like me, you will be hard pressed to find a single item to dislike or be disappointed with. It is more than worth its £19.99 price tag and has so many items within the box that I want to use.
Did you get any of the Cohorted Boxes so far?
I've not tried any of these products or got the cohorted beauty box before but the packaging is lovely, love how sleek and stylish it is! Good packaging is always a seller :p x

Not tried any of these but it looks a good value box, if a bit more expensive than some of the rival boxes out there. I just wish Cohorted stocked a few more brands.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear make up but I love the look of this kind of box.
ReplyDeleteI've not been able to get this box yet, but it looks amazing. Love that you get higher end products in there. How sleek does the new 'sleek' packaging look, love it!
ReplyDeleteI do love a pretty package :) My favourite would be the Too Faced Copper Peony eye shadow, I could go for that, although I don't really wear a lot of make up. The first product confuses me a little, it sounds like a night cream but looks like a foundation?
ReplyDeleteSome intriguing products and lovely colours - sounds like a good value box.
ReplyDeleteYou got some amazing products. Am loving that sleek highlighter palette. It looks lovely <3
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of the Cohorted beauty box, but it looks amazing - such good brands!
