This is my January 2014 YouBeauty box.
Chosen products
Kerasilk Ultra Rich Keratin Care Shampoo and Daily Intense Mask 50ml
This month I did the same as last month and went for the hair care as it included two products :)
They both smell nice but I can't say either the shampoo or mask really made much of a difference to my hair. Maybe you need to use them for longer?
Essie Repstyle polish 'Crocadilly' 13.5ml (full sized)
This was one of a set of six polishes by Essie. The colour was chosen at random by YouBeauty. Here is the full set:
My colour was a deep metallic green with silver shot through it. It's nowhere near as green as the press photos show. This is more like what my bottle looks like:
Normally, Essie polishes are great but I didn't like this one. The idea is to paint the polish on then use the magnet on top of the lid to create a snakeskin effect.
The polish itself was fine, however the pattern in the magnet was not centred so it was impossible to get the effect to look right. Plus, some of my nails are very curvy which means that these magnet thingies don't work very well for me.
Again, this photo makes it look really green but this is the effect that this polish is supposed to give.
It's a shame that this polish didn't work as well for me as it did for some of the others that have reviewed it, as I was really excited to try it and happy that I got one of the darker colours. Never mind!
Extras
Green People Age Defy+ Serum
Just a small sample sachet but nice as a free extra. I haven't actually used it yet as I'm not particularly focussing on anti-aging at the moment (way too many skin issues) but I will save it for when I do.
PopChips Barbecue Potato Chips
There are also not pictured because my other half claimed them before I had chance. Apparently they were very nice. A really good extra, thanks YouBeauty :)
Verdict
Overall, I'm happy with the box as the Essie polish alone retails for £9.99, even though it didn't work for me. Again, a box from YouBeauty that is worth much more than you pay!
Love, Sarah NailsfromNothing xx
