It's been quite a while since I received a beauty box. I'm surprised the novelty hasn't worn off yet to be honest. I guess people will always like discovering new products so there will always be a market for them. Recently a lot of blogs were featuring the Limited Edition You Beauty box, which I wasn't about to spend £19.95 on, so instead I opted for the more purse friendly £6.95 version, which allows you to choose two of the samples you receive.
I'd registered a bit late and was unable to chose the Daniel Sandler eye-liner so instead I chose the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer and the Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum. Granted they are only sample sizes but I think they're pretty generous samples!
Along with my chosen samples came a nail file in a pretty vintage print and a very interesting Pure Gold Collagen. At first I did wonder what the collagen was, I thought maybe it was some kind of product you applied to your face but I read the little booklet that came with the box and found out you actually drink it! It's an anti-angeing liquid supplement which aims to increase smoothness, softening of fine lines and wrinkles and you should drink one 50ml supplement per day. Now I'm not sure if I need this right at this moment in time as I'm only 24 (25 on Sunday, eek!) and I don't think I'll see much improvement but it's such an interesting product. I feel like it's something out of Alice in Wonderland and if I drink it I'll shrink right down or something, it's very strange.
On first impressions I was pleased with the box. It's teeny tiny and quite reasonable for £6.95. I was actually sent two boxes and I'm not sure why. I'm hoping I didn't accidentally order two or something but the other has gone to a good home with my sister and was also intrigued by the collagen drink.
I'm hoping to review each product individually so I can really give it my full attention so look out for those reviews in the near future!
Did you sign up to the You Beauty Discovery Box? What were your first impressions?
Seems like a really nice box. I received 3 months free of charge of something similar (in Finland), loved it :)
