| YOU Beauty Discovery Box - "Summer Essentials" |
This is my fourth monthly beauty box subscription and is the cheapest coming in at only £6.95 a month including P&P! It is also a little different to the other boxes I am currently subscribed to (Glossybox, Birchbox and Love Me Beauty) as you get to choose your 2 full sized products - you need to make your picks as close to the beginning of the month as possible, as things sell out fast.
This month each box contained: 2 Jimmy Choo perfume samples, a nail file and a face cream sample. You are able to choose 2 items from the following for your full sized products in your YOU Beauty box. This month's options were:
Daniel Sandler - Waterproof Eyeliner in Aqua (0.25g) - £9.25
Eucerin - Sun Fluid Mattifying SPF30/50 (50ml) - £12
Gazelli - Triple Youth with White Oil Duo (5ml each) - £16
Louise Galvin - Sacred Locks Treatment Masque (100ml) - £8.60
Marsk - Rich Mineral Eyeshadow in Rich List (1.2g) - £14.99
Peggy Sage - Nail Polish (Nude or Summer Collection) - £5
Rose & Co - Cherry Kiss Lush and Lovely Lip Balm (10g) - £2.50
JustBe Botanicals - Hydrating Serum (10ml) - £11.65
I chose the Aqua Eyeliner and the Mineral Eyeshadow, though I also really wanted the Rose & Co balm - I think I need to do some googling to find my nearest stockist for that one! I'm pretty boring when it comes to eyeliners and so far only own blacks and browns so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the aqua colour. The eyeshadow is my first mineral loose eyeshadow and it took a little while for me to work out how to get into it without making a mess!
The eyeliner is very easy to apply, it glides on like butter with no tugging or pulling - now I just need to work up the courage to wear it out and also figure out what to wear with it! The eyeshadow is gorgeous, I really struggled to pick up its shimmer on the camera but it catches the light nicely. Both are swatched on bare NW15 skin with no primer.
Overall I am extremely happy with my first YOU Beauty Discovery Box. I've received £24.24 worth of full sized products for only £6.95! I will definitely be continuing my subscription with YOU Beauty Discovery!

The mineral eyeshadow really is pretty, however I have learnt that less is definitely more! I ended up looking like a bit of a train wreck when I first got my paws on it! :)
