This months You Beauty Discovery Box is titled 'The Cult Beauty Edit' and the reason given for the title is that all the products chosen are favourites but less ordinary beauty products on the market. Im not too sure that fits with what I think a 'Cult Beauty' product is, but there are some fabulous brands to choose from.
As always there are some treats inside this months box and the three this time is a sample size hair tie pack from Popband. Popband is a product ive used before and find quite handy to have. Made from stretchy Elastic, it is designed to leave your hair kink free after wearing. The second is a sachet of Verso Super Facial Serum which contains a high dose of Retinol 8 to encourage healing and strengthening of the skin. Finally there is a £15 Anne Semonin gift card.
This month I did dither a bit between choices, one I had definitely decided I wanted to try and then that left me wanting to try two others and I am still not sure I made the right choice. Anyway, the first choice was SHOW Beauty Pure Treatment Oil - This rejunventaing Pure Treatment elixir restores your hair's luster and shine, leaving it strengthened, deeply nourished and infinitely desirable. Often called ‘liquid gold’ by beauty experts, Argan Oil penetrates the cuticle to strengthen and enhance the elasticity of hair. It can be used daily and is designed to be used on freshly washed hair.
My second choice was between the Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick and the Rodial Stem Cell Cleaner. I chose the Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick and it came in shade Hibiscus - Break free of dull, muted shades and lace your lips in high-definition colour with NEW Revlon Ultra HD™ Lipstick. This advanced new lipstick formulated with Revlon’s wax-free high-definition gel technology allows for true colour clarity in one smooth coat. The secret is in the clear gel base that provides a weightless feel with a smooth, even application. Just one coat of the deliciously scented, silky, moisturising formula and lips are instantly enriched in weightless colour. Now sadly, this is not a shade that I can pull off, it is too coral for me, beautiful though it is and I am determined to try more shades. RRP £7.99
So those are my selections for May and yet again, You Beauty offers great value for money at £6.95 per box including p&p and the contents of this box have a value of around £58.
Those popbands look great! I work in a lab and constantly need to tie up hair and hate the dreaded kinks!
ReplyDeleteOh! The pop band sounds fantastic, I really need one of those. I hate the kink my hair band leaves in my hair when I take it out, it drives me nuts lol. I also like the sound of Show Beauty Pure Treatment Oil, my hair always needs TLC and this sounds just perfect. xx
ReplyDeleteI stopped my you beauty box a while back fancying a change but this looks like quite a sweet box. I look forward to seeing how you get on with the treatment oil how cute is that box. I hope you get to love your choices more when you try them out. x

That seems a very affordable monthly treat. From the photo it does look like that lipstick is just the wrong side of orange for a red lipstick.
ReplyDeleteI actually stopped my you beauty box a few months ago as I just had so many products but kinda gutted as this months seems pretty good x
ReplyDeleteThe lipstick looks like a lovely shade! The bottle of the oil is so pretty, too - it looks like an expensive perfume!

I have seen the pop bands before. I love that they are kink free but does it feel tight enough? I have very thick hair and need that tight feeling, otherwise it just slides out.
ReplyDeleteI got a Pop Band in my goody bag when I did a 10k race last year and they're brilliant. The products sound really good and such great value for money xx
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has pop bands and they are so much better for her hair
ReplyDeleteI have never tried a beauty box before, they do sound amazing value though xx
ReplyDeleteI missed out on the Show Beauty Oil so I went for the Nuxe Oil instead. I also picked the Burt's Bees lip balm xx
ReplyDeleteLove boxes when they really give you value for money. I'd love the hair oil.
ReplyDeleteThis box seems fab! I wanna try everything in it!

I got the treatment oil too and couldn't believe the size of it and how lovely the bottle was. It was definitely value for money this month.
ReplyDeleteI always think this box is such good value for less than £7, I love the colour of the lipstick, shame it didn't suit.
ReplyDeleteOoh I just cancelled my Glossy Box as I wasn't happy with May's box, so I might give this one a try! Also can't believe how cheap it is compared to other boxes! Thanks for the review :-)
ReplyDeleteThe treatment oil bottle looks so luxurious and gorgeous!
