Latest in Beauty - The Bloom Box

Latest In Beauty have yet another amazing box and admittedly this is one I absolutely love the sound of. Described as being a box which features a bouquet of floral products, from fragrance to face mist and even some cute floral nail art, for £20 you get a box worth £84 (here) making it an absolute bargain.

In the box, you will find a grand total of 11 products all with a floral theme. Starting with a £10 gift voucher for Bloom & Wild, a fantastic flower delivery service whom I use very regularly to send gifts.

Iz Beauty of London Gel Effect Nail Polish - Transform nails ready for Summer with Iz Beauty of London’s pretty pastel polishes. The plumping gel effect formula has been developed for easy application and rich glossy colour. Shade may vary.

Iz Beauty of London Deco IT Nail Decals - Get creative and give nails a bespoke pampering with these instant nail art decals that pack a flowery punch. Apply straight onto the natural nail, over polish or set between gel to create a long lasting manicure. Put your signature on iT - the nail is your canvas.

The Body Shop British Rose Instant Glow Body Butter - Every time I see the description of this Body Butter I want it. Infused with glow enhancing rose essence, this body butter will not only leave your skin smelling wonderfully of roses but the beautiful pearlescent cream is velvety soft on the skin as well as being rich in moisture. 

Miller Harris Rose Silence Eau de Parfum - I absolutely love this scent and if you have never tried anything from Miller Harris, for me this is where you start as it is a great introduction. "Rose Silence by Miller Harris is here to change the game when it comes to rose perfume. No longer will this classic scent be condemned as out-dated or cat-lady- esque. Fruity, flirty, and floral, Rose Silence is a breath of fresh air on a bright summer’s day". If you are not sure on the scent of roses and do find it a bit 'old lady' then this scent will definitely change your mind.

Lola Lipgloss 005 - If you like a lipgloss which isn't sticky and tacky, then Lola is a brand you need to try. Designed to be a colour-rich, long-lasting water-shine lip gloss, it is pretty in pink and leaves your pout comfortably plumped.

Argan+ Moroccan Rose Super Repair Hand and Nail Cream - This cream uses a blend of deeply conditioning Vitamin E with omega rich ingredients. Argan+ Moroccan Rose Super Repair Hand & Nail Cream will ensure your damaged hands and nails receive the ultimate care, leaving them intensely moisturised and nourished.

Una Brennan Superfacialist Rose Hydrate Calming Creamy Cleanser - I have used this quite a few times now and am a big fan. Formulated with moisturising Shea and Cocoa butters plus Pro Vitamin B5, this cleanser works to remove makeup, debris and oils without drying out your skin.

Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Facial Mist - This is one product I will happily purchase over and over again, it is amazing.  Always on my desk, this scent gives a really light but hydrating mist which features the calming scent of rose, which works to restore and hydrate the skin.

Caudalie Vine(activ) Energising and Smoothing Eye Cream - This cream is designed to help your skin combat the effects of your hectic lifestyle, this gentle, smoothing eye cream visibly alleviates dark circles and energises the eye area. I have used a sample of this before and was really impressed.

Vintage Cosmetics Duo Sharpener - This Duo Pencil Sharpener from the Vintage Cosmetics Club is not only pretty in pink but it will keep your eyeliner/eyebrow pencils in tip-top condition.

So there you have it, yet another brilliant box from Latest in Beauty and such a bargain too.

allbeauty's #GatineauChallenge

I was only introduced to Gatineau towards the end of 2016 and I was so impressed, I stocked up on a few products. When I was asked to take part in the allbeauty Gatineau Challenge, I jumped at the chance. Presented in a beautiful Gatineau Box are five skincare products and a cleansing cloth which gives me a Monday to Friday go-to beauty regime. 

My challenge is to use the five products within the box, which have been put together by the allbeauty resident facial experts to see how my skin feels after five days. 

Inside the box the products are:

A Double-Sided Cleansing Cloth in a bag - This is one of the softest cloths I have ever used and I am really looking forward to using it.

Gentle Eye Make-up Remover 50ml - This product uses extracts of cucumber, green tea & aloe vera and is not only lightweight on the skin but it is described as being wonderfully cooling and refreshing as it gently removes the remnants of the day as well as all traces of waterproof eye makeup. 

Melatogenine Refreshing Cleansing Cream 50ml - This is a triple-action formula refreshing cleansing cream which is an anti-ageing cleanser, toner and micro-exfoliator in one. This soap-free solution removes all traces of make-up. The youth activating molecule, Mélatogénine, encourages cellular renewal. With a rich and velvety texture, this cleanser nourishes the skin with added anti-oxidants and sweet almond oil to leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed and with fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced.

Radiance Enhancing Gommage 15ml - Said to be perfect for sensitive skin, this mild enzymatic exfoliant is packed with fruit enzymes which remove dead cells for a radiant and energised complexion. Free from grains and beads, this gel formula is so gentle it can even be used around the eyes. It is enriched with vitamin C and helps to boost skin's natural defence. Radiance and luminosity are immediately increased and the complexion is brightened and toned

Melatogenine Future Plus Mask 15ml - Described as being a powerful anti-ageing mask designed to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the signs of fatigue and leave skin youthfully radiant. It is luxuriously rich and creamy packed with Marine Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid to instantly transform the skin.

Melatogenine AOX Advanced Rejuvenating Cream 15ml - Gatineau describe this product as being their most powerful anti-wrinkle formula within a luxuriously rich cream and it is designed to smooth fine lines and wrinkles brighten the complexion and eliminate signs of fatigue.

I have used some of these products before but not as a 5-day challenge, so I am really looking forward to seeing how my skin changes and whether or not it improves for the better.  If you like the sound of these products and want to set yourself a challenge, you can find the box of products right HERE on allbeauty and it costs just £19.95.
