Latest In Beauty Capital FM Best Of Summer Beauty Box

It's been a while since I've talked beauty boxes. To be totally honest it has to be a pretty special box to catch my eye or impress, over the years I've had some that just haven't been worth pennies I've forked out for them and it's resulted in me not being subscribed to any!7

I was recently contacted by Latest In Beauty and was told all about their Best Of Summer box being released by them this month partnered with the fabulous Capital FM! 
After having a sneak peek at what was featured in the box, of course I took the opportunity to own one of my very own!

Unlike other beauty boxes Latest In Beauty is a non-subscription beauty box service, so you can pick and choose which one/s of the seasonal boxes you want - alot easier in my opinion, no commitments is good with me!

This particular box is in collaboration with Capital FM and is jam-packed with 10 amazing beauty products and a couple of promo codes for this sizzling summer!

First of all I just want to say how impressed I am at the packing of the box. That may sounds stupid but this thing was packed to the brim, with everything having a perfect little slot and position, I was so impressed at how it all fit in there! (I obviously tried to put it all back in and failed miserably aswell!)

 The range of brands and different types of products is brilliant, there's everything from mascara to dry shampoo to lip balm! Most of them are full sized items which made me really happy and I actually hadn't tried any of these items before which made it even better!

Latest In Beauty Capital FM Best Of Summer Beauty Box* £17.95

 List of products included : 

CARMEX Moisture Plus Lip Balm In Berry

I'm a big Carmex fan and I love that these are so easy to apply - no sticking fingers in pots needed! Plus this has a hint of colour which is perfect for summer, I hate it when my lipsticks melt!

COLAB Sheer + Invisible Paris Floral Fragrance Dry Shampoo

I was SO pleased to find this in the box as I have been dying to try this stuff out! I'm a huge fan of Ruth and have heard amazing things about this range so I'll be breaking my dry shampoo fear for this mini bottle! (It smells delish!)

DR. ORGANIC Dead Sea Minerals Bio-Plasma Mud Mask

Face masks are my favourite little pampering treat to do each week and I am always up for trying newbies! My mum spotted this and mentioned how much she loves the brand so I'm really loooking forward to giving this a go! My skin is in dire need of a detox.

FUDGE URBAN Hair Art Spray - Violet Haze

YES! Hair chalk.... but in a spray! SO much easier and washes straight out! The perfect way to funk up your do without permanent colouring.

HAWAIIAN TROPIC Satin Protection Ultra Radiance SPF 30

I love this brand and it's fairly expensive even for these miniature bottles, this is going to come in so handy for day trips out in the sunshine when I'm only taking a small bag!

I LOVE.... Perfectly Peachy Bath & Shower Creme Sachet

I'm really looking forward to trying this fresh and fruity body wash - it also comes with a great how-to guide on checking your breasts and what symptoms to look out for which I'll be keeping in my bathroom from now on.

MALIN & GOETZ trio - Cleanser, Moisturiser, Lip Balm

A few more miniatures here - and a brand in which I've never tried. These are only small so will only provide a few uses but it's a great way to try out something I probably wouldn't have before. I popped on a bit of the lip balm earlier and it felt gorgeous!

MUA Mega Volume Mascara

Can't say no to a new mascara really can you!?

MUA Eyeshadow Palette

Basically summer in a palette here - I know MUA isn't the most expensive brand but still this is a fab product to be included in the summer box! The colours are fun and vibrant and will be so much fun to play around with.

NAILS INC Gel Effect Nail Polish 

Last but not least but favourite product of the bunch, I've already painted my nails with this ( as you may have spotted it on Instagram!) - the shade is a beautiful aqua green/blue and reminds me alot of Tiffany & Co! I'm hoping the fact that it's a gel effect polish will make it last a little bit longer than my usual 'chipped after a day' nails too!

There's also 2 cheeky discount codes included for a couple of the brands too, in which you can save upto 20%!

As I mentioned previously, the box is £17.95 - which I think is fantastic value for the amount you get inside! The nail polish alone I'd happily pay £7-8 for! If you want to check it out just clickedy click - here!

My Winter Essentials : Lip Balms

Can you believe it's December already? Advent has started - yay! and it's time for another 'Winter Essentials' post!

Lip balms I think are probably on the top of everyones list as a winter essential! Cold weather, air-con and windy wind make our lips chapped, dry and even a bit gross and flaky!

Here's 4 of my top picks for lip balms  - these save me from getting that awful trip-lip that we all dreaded as children.... you know what I mean right?

Vaseline - Limited Edition Queen Bee

Vaseline is a classic, I'm sure 99% of you either own one o these handy tins or have done in the past. This years limited edition is called 'Queen Bee' - I love the name and the packaing alike! The scent is honey... obvs and alot nicer than I was expecting - another one to add to my never ending collection of tins! 

Carmex with Jasmine Green Tea

Carmex is a product I have used for years and years so when I see they've bought out new version I always want to try them out. You may remember me sharing this on here a few months ago! I'm a huge Green Tea fan so this is a win win for me! (plus it's my Mum's fav!)

EOS Strawberry Lip Balm

I got this in Florida along with a blueberry version and they have become a huge favourite of mine! This is the lip balm that is currently in my hand bag! It's easy to apply, smells amazing and keeps my lips hydrated!

Nivea Blueberry Blush Lip Butter

Nivea Lip Butter's have been something I've raved about for months and months. They all smell amazing and are just as good as vaseline for keeping the lips chap-free, smooth and soft! A total bargain too at only £2.20ish each!

What are your favourite lip balms for this time of year?

Carmex Jasmine Green Tea Lip Balm

A new product from Carmex you say? With green tea you say? Well I obviously went out and flaming bought it didn't I!

I have been a huge huge fan of carmex for years, since buying as a young teen, after copying my Mum, this stuff has floated in and out of my collection and various handbags constantly!

With it's noteable scent and fab results, this lip balm is one of the best out there in it's price range and when I stumbled across this new 'flavour' I did an inner excitement sqeaul!

I love all things green tea related - I drink way too much of it and I love it so this was a perfect pick for me. 

The texture and feel is the same as the usual carmex tubes and the scent has a slight smell of the original scent but has a nice calming floral hint to it aswell!

I have been using this alot since opening it, I forgot how great Carmex is and this beaut has an SPF of 15 included aswell which is perfecto for Summer!

Bargain lip balm that you can get in most drug stores - a must have for the handbag!
