YOU Beauty Discovery Box - February 2014

-
I just received another You Beauty Discovery box and I am really happy with the contents.  Heres what I received:
I picked the following 2 items:

Pixi Flawless & Poreless Primer - 12ml (worth £8.20)
Creates a seamless, silky canvas with a beautiful no-shine, cashmere finish. The formulas skin-loving ingredients clear and unblock pores to allow for utterly flawless, long-lasting makeup application. It is the perfect skin primer for all complexions and all skin types. Pore minimizing. Shine controlling. Hydrating. Oil free. Hypoallergenic. For all skin types.

GLAMGLOW Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment - 15g (worth £15)
The ultimate at-home mud treatment for immediate camera ready super radiant skin. For when you need great skin and a glowing complexion in just 10 minutes. It delivers both instant and cumulative results and leaves your complexion revived and glowing, whatever your skin type.

There is also an offer in the booklet:
Buy the SUPER BRIGHT GLAMTASTIC Try Before You Buy set (£13) and get one free at www.glamglowmud.co.uk (code REDCARPET). Offer valid until 1st March 2014.

The box also contained a bag of Beyond Dark Moments of Pleasure 70% dark chocolate Hints of Orange chocolate treats (just eaten them now and they were yummy) and a 20ml sachet of Charles Worthington Secrets Collection Volume & Bounce Instant Amplifying Volume Treatment. I wont use the volume treatment as I have thick curly hair which does not need any additional volume.

The other products that were available for selection this month were:
  • Helenere Black Pearl Serum
  • Teeez Desert Metals Mascara
  • Teeez Mysterious Crystal Eyeliner
  • The Vintage Cosmetic Company Eyeshadow Brush
  • Stila Lip Glaze in Kaleidoscope
  • Jurlique Calendula Redness Rescue Smoothing Moisturising Cream 
  • Mavala Nail Polish in Sapporo (nude) and Madrid (red)
This is a great value box and I was really happy with the choices that I made. I could easily have bought another box to pick 2 more items, but as I am still on a spending ban (excluding 1 Birchbox and 1 You Beauty box per month) I have resisted.

The You Beauty box costs £6.95 including p&p per month and you get to pick the 2 main items in your box. You can sign up here.

In addition to the monthly box, they also offer limited edition boxes throughout the year. They are currently selling the Highlights from 2013 box here which costs £19.95 and is worth over £90.

Which products did you choose this month?

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
