Latest in Beauty - The Glamour Beauty Edit Summer 2014

Now, here's a beauty box that never disappoints. I think I've ordered this every time it's become available. It's immense value for money, and it's nice to know what you are getting in the box, then you know how much you will use everything or what you are keen on trying before you even order it! You get this box from latestinbeauty.com, it's a one off box costing £16.95 including postage, and the stuff in it is apparently worth £86.15! Now, that's worth treating yourself to.

That's a lot of stuff crammed in that box! Let's get looking at the items in more detail!

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

I've had this product in at least two other boxes before now, and I know it works. It takes off makeup really well and is a good cleanser. It's very hydrating too and unclogs pores. Like it.

Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick

This is a lipstick I actually like. It's a very non offensive colour and it goes on so well. It's really creamy and feels nice to apply. I've actually worn it out places, that says a lot with me!

Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Lacquer

I have to admit here, I've not even tried this. It wasn't my kind of colour at all so it's gone straight to the Mother unit. She's been enjoying it, and hasn't reported anything bad back as yet!

Velvotan Tanning Mitt

This looks amazing for applying self tan. Again, this hasn't been tried as yet (it's been packed away for the move!) but it should help me try and get a streak free tan, so I'm all for it!

Rimmel Sun Shimmer Instant Tan BB Skin Perfector

So, tanning is rather new to me. I attempt it at times, but I've never really got into it. I aim to change that this year, I think I'll have to get myself a spray tan for the wedding I'm part of in the winter months, so I'll be trying that shortly to see how it looks. So I might as well start off simply. This Rimmel tan is instant and only lasts until you wash it off. Commitment free. Use the mitt that came in the box as well and it should apply streak free. More things I need to brave!

Toni & Guy Volume Plumping Whip

This helps increase volume without any sticky residue. I've been using it when I have curly hair recently and it's helped the curls stay more voluminous, so I'm happy!

Bourjois Cream Blush Shade 2

This wee blush is so cute. It even has a wee mirror inside! I like this product a lot. It's a cream to powder formula so it goes on well, but then sets like a powder. And it's so small and compact. Win.

Hawaiian Tropic Satin Protection Ultra Radiance Sun Lotion

Annoyingly, this arrived when I was back from my holidays and when the weather up here in Scotland has now decided to be cold and depressing again. Arg. It smells amazing however, with coconut and jojoba. I will use this at the smallest slight of sun. Have no fear.

Magnifibres Brush-On False Lashes

These are fibres to help you look like you have false eyelashes on. When it's really just mascara plus this stuff. I'll be doing a full review of this on the blog shortly, so I won't go into too much detail here. It's a clever product though and I've never been good at using false lashes, so I was keen to investigate this idea!

It's official. This is the best beauty box around. Great value for money and I will use everything (other than the polish!). I think I will always invest in these boxes when they become available. Keep your eye out for the next one!

Latest in Beauty: The Glamour Beauty Edit

 

So, I went back for more. Last time Glamour joined forces with Latest In Beauty I snapped that box right up too and it is so insanely worth what you pay its crazy to not get right in there and buy one. Lots of items in here to get through! and believe it or not, this was only £15. Get following Latest in beauty on twitter so you know when the next one is released. That's how I found out!

 

 

Face oil by balance me. It's so nice to get a product from these guys that's not a moisturiser! This has a rollerball which is really handy too. I've been using it before bed and it smells nice and feels nice on the skin, I'll keep using up anyway!

 

 

Philip Kingsley One more Day Dry Shampoo. Hands down the best dry shampoo I've tried. It's not something I use lots and lots, but this one really leaves your hair feeling soft and normal. With no white stuff either. Lovely stuff.

 

 

Toni and Guy Hairspray. It's a great size to take on holiday and doesn't leave your hair sticky at all.

 

 

Eyeko Eyelash Curlers. These come with lovely velvet like handles which are at a different angle from other curlers I've used and once you're used to it, they are a breeze to use and get the job done well!

 

 

Benefit's They're Real Mascara. Some people love this so much. Other people say it flakes off and annoys them, but myself, I never had any issues with that at all. I'm enjoying using this along with the new eyelash curlers and feel my lashes look great with it. Not sure if I'd invest in a full size one as yet, I have so many more to get through first!

 

 

Hd Brows: Again, another really talked about piece of kit. I have to fully admit, I never much bothered about my eyebrows and filling them in until recently. And this kit has led the way forward really. I use the second to lightest shade and just feel it makes my brows look more defined without the coloured in look. Shame there's no tweezers in the kit though. That would be all you need for brows then really.

 

 

Maybelline Baby Lips. I love this product, already owning the cherry one it's nice to have another. And minty fresh at that. This is a handy good product, it doesn't really last for 8 hours but it does work in general and it's affordable.

 

So, yea. Next time there's a glamour edit available get your paws on this lot. Totally worth the money! and it's only an occasional spend, as well as you know what's coming in the box which helps you know if its worth it for you.

 

This post was not sponsored. I bought this with my own money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Latest in Beauty - The Glamour Edit

 

Wow. Best beauty box ever. Simple! This was the first time I'd ordered from Latest in Beauty and I'll totally be looking out for new boxes like this! The good thing I think about Latest in Beauty is that you can see what products you are getting in your box, so you know if it's going to be worth you buying or not already. This box was created with the help of Glamour magazine and it doesn't disappoint. There was soooo many items in this box it was more than worth the £15 I paid for it.

 

 

Tweezers from the Vintage Cosmetic Co. Great cute set in pink and they do the job!

 

 

Green Tea Marvel Gel by Ginvera - this is a face scrub that really works to remove dead skin. It feels very gel like, but it's very effective so all good!

 

 

Benefit the porefessional - if you apply a thin layer of this over your face it helps to fill in visible pores and just gives a good smooth finish to the skin, ready for your foundation to go on, or just to improve the look of your skin without much makeup.

 

 

 

The best and original batiste dry shampoo. I hope everyone knows about this product these days! It's immense just to keep on you to freshen up your hair and helps your hair last longer between washes - always loved this.

 

 

 

Another classic cult product - John Frieda Frizz Ease. I used to use this all the time, every day but hadn't in a while, so it's been nice to rediscovered it. If you put it on when hair is soaking wet it helps to keep frizz at bay all day. Brilliant.

 

 

Revlon Nail Polish in Siren 440 - this is a super nice coral, not too red or too pink it should flatter most skin tones. I think I'll use this mostly on my toes - I do love a good bright colour on my toes at the moment!

 

 

Strip lashes by Jinnylash these look really natural on and don't look false much at all. They just seem to blend in with my own eyelashes and look great!

 

 

Yey a Stila Lipglaze! Not had one of these in ages, and forgot how good they actually are. This is guava, a very pale colour that just goes on with a nice, subtle sheen. It is quite sticky though, so make sure you don't use it on a windy day and your hair will stick to it! It looks good over a dark lip colour too, I used it over Topshop beguiled and it just calmed the colour a little and gave that nice sheen!

 

 

Finally, the gel liner from Loreal. The colour in the box was a black with a gold shimmer running through it, and I love it!! This comes with a brush which is also really good and gets a good angle for liner. I have to say, I was really impressed by this, it does really compete with my Bobby Brown gel eyeliner - it has good colour pay off and lasts all day. Great stuff. When they bring out more exciting colours I'll be nabbing them!

 

Wow, what a lot of products in one box. I think I'll be keeping an eye out on latest in beauty every so often so if another one as good as this pops up I'll be on it!
