YouBeauty Discovery Box December 2014

Here is a quick review of my December 2013 YouBeauty box.

I hadn't heard of the YouBeauty Discovery box before until I saw an advert for the 2013 Advent Calendar on Facebook, just before xmas. I bought this because it was on offer (as December was almost over with) and to be able to buy it I had to subscribe to the monthly box too. My intention was to cancel after the first month.

I ordered this and the calendar on the 23rd December, made my two box choices on the same day, and I received them both on the 28th December. How amazing is that? I really wasn't expecting it until after New Year so I was pleasantly surprised.

Here is my box:

Two chosen products:

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Hydrocream Whip and Hydromist Blow-Out Spray

I picked the Awapuhi products for two reasons. The first reason was because I actually used to use Paul Mitchell products (my hair salon was a Paul Mitchell salon) and once had a Awapuhi treatment which I liked. The second reason was because it was a two-product set, so two for the price of one :)

Dr. Nick Lowe Age Correct Eye Serum

I signed up for You Beauty box right at the end of December, which meant half of the products on the shortlist had sold out. I had never tried any Dr. Nick Lowe products before and I'm always up for trying a new eye cream, so I ordered this. This was also the second largest sample size that was left which swayed my decision in its favour. I haven't tried the Hydrocream Whip yet but I have been using the spray every time I blow dry my hair to give it a bit of volume. It smells quite nice too :)

Extras: 

Jimmy Choo 'Flash' sample 2ml

The packaging is super sparkly which doesn't show up on the photo. The fragrance is really nice too. The Jimmy Choo original EDP is one of my favourite fragrances but this isn't far behind. Quite expensive though!

Green & Black's Raisin and Hazelnut mini chocolate bar

This isn't pictured because I ate it before I had the chance. It was only tiny ;) and very yummy. Chocolate doesn't last long in this house!

Verdict:

I loved the concept of this box enough to keep my subscription going, and this is the one box that I will never cancel because it's such good value for money. You can't go wrong with £6.95.
