August's Cohorted Beauty Box - What was inside!

It's that time again! For the exciting unboxing of the Cohorted Beauty Box:

Here's what was inside this month's box:

• Bare Minerals Skin Rev-er upper serum
• Molton Brown mini body cream
• Cargo Blush and bronzer palette

• Laura Geller Eyeshadow duo

• Bare Minerals Soft Focus Brush

Having not tried any of Laura Geller make-up I am looking forward to trying this eye-shadow, the plum purple tone looks lovely. Molton Brown is another brand i've not tried before, so I am thrilled to try this body cream. The Cargo quad looks great and the Bare Minerals brush and serum are by far the most exciting items for me, in this box, as I am a die-hard B.M fan!

Overall I am made-up with this month's box. 

I love the excitement of looking forward to it arriving. Not knowing what is inside beforehand makes it all the more intriguing!! 

Cohorted's July Beauty Box Review

July's Cohorted Beauty Box Unboxing Review

After last month's cracker of a box I was eagerly awaiting this month's arrival and I am happy to report it didn't disappoint. 

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

Inside I received:

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??

Satin lipstick formula. 
This is my 1st satin finish lipstick from MAC. 
I'd say that it was a cross between creamsheen and amplified with a sheen to it.

Wow this is a fabulous full on bright blue-pink!!
An amplified creme formula lovely and creamy with a punch and pop of colour.
