May Beauty Box

Look Fantastic do a beauty box every month which is £15 per box and is full of 6 beauty products worth £45. If you get a subscription to the box then you get a discount too. I got the May box and this post is on what was in it.

The box is packaged really nicely, all sleek and black with tissue paper.

The first thing I saw in my box was the Eylure pre-glued eye lashes.  The set I got are quite natural looking so they will be perfect to add a little extra volume without looking too over the top.

Also in the box was the Erno Laszlo transphuse night serum. This is quite a small sample but would be enough to figure out if you like it enough to buy the rather pricey full size version.

The Omorovicza cleansing balm is also quite a small tub but it looks really interesting and I can't wait to try it. It is a black balm which can be used to remove make up, including waterproof mascara, while leaving your skin soft and hydrated.

One of the products I am most excited to try is the NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Or which is a luxury oil to soften and illuminate your face, body and hair.

There was a TanWorx self tanning lotion in the box which I haven't yet tried but have heard good things about! It is for a fair-medium tan too which is perfect as it shouldn't be too dark for my pale skin.

Finally was a Christophe Robin regenerating hair mask. I have used this a couple of times and it does make my hair feel super soft. My hair is waist length so even though I used the minimum amount I could, I still only managed to get three uses out of the sample in the box which was a shame as I did love the product.

Overall, I think that it is quite good value for the £15 and as the full sized products are quite pricey, this box gives you a good idea of what you would like to purchase. However, I would personally be willing to pay a little extra so the samples could be a little bigger!

Her Fashion Box

Her Fashion Box is a monthly subscription box containing a couple of fashion items and some beauty bits. I received this month's box and I love what's in it so thought I would do an un-boxing type post.

All of the products come packaged beautifully in a sleek black magnetic close box with tissue paper.

The first thing I saw when I opened the box was this small black bag with a gold chain. It is the perfect size for a night out as it is only big enough for essentials so you don't have to carry a massive bag around with you. Black bags go with practically anything so in my eyes you can never have too many!

The next thing I saw was this silk patterned scarf. It has a gorgeous carriage pattern and although I will probably not wear it as a scarf, it would look amazing tied to the handles of a bag or as a hair accessory.

There were also a few beauty products, the first of which is this baked mineral eyeshadow trio in the shade 'Rama' which has a bright blue, coppery orange and plum colour in it. They are not colours I would usually choose but they are nice though!

I also got a black eyeliner pencil which is really pigmented and glides on easily.
Another thing in my box was the blending sponge which looks a lot like the Real Technique's beauty blender that I have seen a lot of people talking about. A lot of people love them and they do give great coverage but I personally prefer brushes!
Finally, the last thing in my box was these bright pink eyelash curlers. I always curl my lashes before going out so I'm not going to complain about a new set of curlers!

Her Fahion Box is Australian based so it does cost to ship to the UK but including P&P it only comes to around £30 so it isn't too much as a little treat for yourself every month. All of the products inside definitely total to more than that. I love that it includes bits of fashion and beauty as well so you don't have to decide between the two!
