Here is my review of the March 2014 YouBeauty box...
First of all, I'm going to start by saying that this is my favourite box so far. I have loved every box but this one is just fabulous!
My box :)
Chosen items
BeautyLab Glycowash 100ml
A skin refining oil free 5% glycolic foaming gel with triggered release technology that works longer and deeper to remove impurities, unclogging pores refining and cleansing whilst helping to prevent future break-outs. Contains pomegranates enzymes, glycolic and salicylic acid infused microspheres, soothing willow bark and lavender.
RRP £16 (£32 for 200ml)
The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter 90ml + Muslin face cloth
Solid but melts when you touch it, this cleansing butter has a similar consistency to coconut oil. An indulgent make-up remover for the whole face. It gently and efficiently melts away make-up and impurities, leaving skin feeling clean, refreshed and pampered. Suitable for sensitive skin. Smells lovely and glides on like a dream. Only downside is that it isn't so good at removing waterproof mascara.
RRP £12
Extras
The Vintage Costmetic Company floral tweezers
There were three possible extras from The Vintage Cosmetic Company in this YouBeauty box - tweezers, false eyelashes or toe separators. I got the tweezers which are lovely and in beautiful packaging! Unfortunately I got the exact same pair (unboxed) in January's Glossybox, and a similar pair in my YouBeauty advent calendar too so I am planning to give this as a gift. Still, a great free extra! I'm glad I didn't get the lashes as I got the same pair in another beauty box this month and the toe separators wouldn't have been used.
RRP £8
Dragonfly Tea Organic teabags
2x Organic teabags - Moonlight Jasmine green tea and Swirling Mist white tea.
I'm not a fan of flavoured tea but again this is a lovely free extra. I will gift them to someone that will use and enjoy them!
RRP 10p each (£1.89 for 20)
Value for money?
Box cost: £6.95
Total box value: £36.20
Verdict
I am made up with this box. After recently falling in love with Alpha H Liquid Gold (glycolic acid treatment - review coming up) I was excited to see a cleanser containing the magic ingredient! This is something I would have happily bought at full price if I'd known about it so thank you YouBeauty for saving me money!
The Body Shop cleansing butter went out of stock on the shortlist after a couple of days so it was a popular items and I'm not surprised. The reviews on the Body Shop website say it all, and it's full-sized! I'm in love.
Love, Sarah NailsfromNothing xx
