Again super sleek black box tied off with a black ribbon.

Inside I received:

Latest in Beauty Summer Edit Box Review

Latest in Beauty

The Glamour Summer Beauty Edit

All of these fantastic items worth over £90 for the bargain price of £17.99!

So what do you get...

Vita Liberata Bronzer, which not only gives you a bronze glow but is also a self tanner too!! With the added bonus of it being a mineral powder. Comes with a full size bronzing brush too.

Pixi Glow Tonic If you haven't tried this wonderful toner/ exfoliator then this is a perfect way to try a sample size before purchasing. I personally love this toner and shall be reserving this for any trips!

Nails inc Gel effect Nail Varnish.

I love the gel effect of this nail varnish and really enjoy using nails inc nail polish. Perfect summer shade too.

L'occitane Shampoo & conditioner. 

Having never tried L'occitane hair care, I am looking forward to testing these out. Also again great travel sizes.

Caudalie Divine Oil. 

This was what I was most excited about, having heard a lot about it, but never actually tried. With extracts of grape, hibiscus, sesame and argan oil I am very much looking forward to slathering this on after a relaxing bath!

Bourjouis Lip Crayon 

Such a lovely light balm with a subtle pop of colour for this summer weather.

Eucerin Sun Protection

As I am such a stickler for suncream especially on my face and a high factor I am excited to test out Eucerin's non oily mattifying version to see if it matches up to my current La Roche Posay Anthelios sunscreen.

Balance Me Super Toning Body Polish, This sounds lovely and a great scrub to try out.

Last of all Seekers of the sun temporary tattoo's. The last time I wore a temporary tattoo I was 9! so I am excited to relive my youth with these pretty designs.

Such great value for these beauty products, as-well as a fab way to try new brands out before committing to a purchase!

My June Cohorted Beauty Box

My June Cohorted beauty box arrived! The amount of excitement is unreal, no sooner had the delivery man handed it over - I was tearing away the packaging!

I sadly missed out on last months box so when I finally managed to pre order this June one I was over the moon!

So the box itself is very sleek and sexy, finished off with an adorable ribbon to keep it closed. I will definitely be re-using this to store make-up in, it's far too good to waste.

Next on to the juicy bit, what was inside.....

I got a total of 4 items. Three of which everyone gets the same, with a slight variation of colour for the nail varnish and the 4th is a mystery gift which makes it even more shrouded in mystery!

Cargo Eye Palette - "Let's meet in Paris"

Cargo Bronzer - Light

Essie Nail Varnish - Roarrange

MAC Eyeshadow - 'Shroom'

Having never tried any make-up items from Cargo Cosmetics I am so far really impressed. 

The "Let's meet in Paris" palette is full of such pretty unique colours that when swatched are so pigmented and colourful.

TOP ROW L to R

Macaroon, Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Creme Brulee, Bonjour, Cafe.

BOTTOM ROW: L to R

Baguette, Croissant, Versailles, Madame, Bastille, Beret.

 My fave shades are "Creme brulee" and "Madame". 

Bonjour and Baguette were a bit of a let down for me not being as pigmented. Bonjour felt a bit chalky to apply and Baguette was difficult to seebut other than those two the other shades definitely pack a punch! The baroque design of the case is very eye catching and has a luxurious velvety feel!

Cargo Bronzer

The Bronzer is in the shade light which is perfect for me, as it gives a subtle glow and they say it is waterproof! I love the tin design, it's so cute!

Essie Nail Varnish

I got the shade "Roarrrange" which is a bright orange. A lovely striking summer shade. Not a colour I would usually go for but when on gives a lovely pop of colour!

Last of all my mystery gift was a MAC Eyeshadow in "Shroom"

  

With it being so iridescent, it's difficult to capture on camera, but it is a creamy pearly satin shade.

A very subtle but pretty highlight colour that's perfect for the inner corner of the eye and the brow bone.

Overall I am extremely pleased with my beauty box from Cohorted. It provides such amazing value for just £19.99 + P&P. It was definitely worth the wait!

Did you manage to get your hands on a Cohorted box? What was your mystery gift??

Glamour Latest in Beauty Box Summer Edit

The GLAMOUR Beauty Edit

Glamour magazine have teamed up with 'latest in beauty' for a seasonal beauty box available for £16.95 including p&p.

I have previously reviewed their Spring edition here

This is the Summer Beauty Box review.

I was excited to purchase this box simply because all the products really appealed to me.

I have never tried Illamasqua make-up, so the fact it included a full size lipstick was a plus. The magnifibre lashes sound interesting, plus a quick google I discovered that this alone is worth £16! Contains the new BB instant tan from Rimmel ... and lots more exciting products! So all in all fantastic value.

Inside the box you get:

 

Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick
'Starkers'

Satin finish and hydrating on the lips. A lovely creamy nude, full size lipstick. 

This is the first launch of the 'Glamore Nude Collection' lipsticks, which are available to buy from the 10th July 2014. Priced at £18.50! It is definitely worth picking up this box as the lipstick alone is more than the price of this beauty box delivered to your door!!

Magnifibres
Brush on false lashes

Basically these are false lashes without the glue and mess! 
Natural brush on fibres lengthen the lashes and make them appear longer and fuller.
Can be used with all types of mascara. This full size is worth £16 itself!!

Rimmel Sun Shimmer Instant Tan BB Cream

 

New from Rimmel their instant tan in a bb cream for an all over healthy glow and tan. With a matte finish and wash off formula.

Velvotan mitt.

 

A great way to ensure a streak free finish to your false tan. I'm excited to use this with my cocoa brown tanning mouse. Love the fact it is purple.. my favourite colour!

Hawaiian Tropic Sun Protection SPF 30

Have not tried this brand of spf before but smells just like a holiday in a bottle! 

Will be using this summer.

DHC Cleansing oil

Really enjoy using cleansing oils to clean my face, at the moment i have the body shop one on the go but will definitely be trying this one out as it contains olive oil. A nice size for travelling too!

Tony & Guy Volume Plumping Whip

Anything to add volume at the roots, will be giving this a try.

Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Varnish

in

'Apple/Rouge Sublime'

Didnt realize that this brand did nail varnish so will be nice to try it out. This shade looks like a nice one for my toes in this flip flop wearing weather!

Bourjois Cream Blush

in

Nude Velvet

Have never tried a cream blush....shocking i know being a beauty blogger!! 

So excited to try out this one and see how it fairs on my combination oily skin. 

It is a pretty coral nude shade which i think will work well with my complexion.

All in highly recommend you click this fantastic value beauty box, that's if they haven't already sold out!!
