The Harper's Bazaar Beauty Box
Harper's Bazaar has always been sophisticated, elegant and the epitome of class, and so it is no surprise that their collaboration with Latest In Beauty has so many incredible products that everyone in the beauty community hold in high regard. The contents of the box come to £156 and the box retails for £45 - however right now you can get a great discount:
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer – Radiance
1 x 15ml
What they say:
This lightweight gel primer has a subtle pearl tint, giving skin a soft-focus finish and minimizing the look of imperfections (#nofilter). Enriched with Vitamins A, C and E, Radiance Primer also protects skin from harmful environmental effects. Apply prior to your foundation to keep makeup looking fresh and colour-true all day.
What I say:
I received this primer in the March Birchbox and I raved about in that review. This primer is so incredible and I use it in four ways, either as a primer, by itself to look a flawless without actually having to wear foundation, mix it in with my foundation to make my coverage more dewy and radiant or I put it on as a highlight. I cannot recommend Laura Mercier face makeup enough and this primer is one of the best out there.
Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist
1 x 30ml
What they say:
A quick spritz of this neroli and rose-scented face mist refreshes the skin and lifts the spirits… Purifying and hydrating, this toner was inspired by the world’s first recorded perfume, formulated for Queen Elisabeth of Hungary in the 14th century. Well, if it’s good enough for a Queen…
What I say:
Not only does it look glamorous, but it smells and feels glamorous. A 100ml bottle of this is £48 so it is mid-range, but it feels like it should be so much more. That is the great thing about these boxes - when you don't know the prices you can judge them for how they work as opposed to being biased because you know the price. The spray is very pinpointed so you need a few squirts to go around your face. I would recommend derma-rolling with this product.
Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara
1 x 2ml
What they say:
Turn up the volume of your lashes with Lancôme’s Hypnôse Mascara. The PowerFull™ Brush gives you full control, and adds thickness without clumping. Smudge-proof, and ultra-light, this bestseller ensures even application every time for truly Hypnôtising lashes.
What I say:
I have loved this mascara since it came out. I'm glad they sent it as it made me remember how much I love it and need to repurchase.
Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask
1 x 100ml
What they say:
Put dry skin to bed with this super-rich, hydrating overnight mask. Infused with botanical oils and Japanese Seaweed, the hard-working formula restores moisture and repairs the skin’s natural barrier overnight, whilst you get those all-important zzz’s.
What I say:
I absolutely love this mask. It is perfect for when you want to wake up beautiful with minimal effort. I love putting it on after a nice bath but before bed, knowing that my skin will be beautiful nourished and hydrated while I sleep.
Nailberry L’Oxygéné Oxygenated Nail Lacquer
1 x 15ml
What they say:
Ever feel like you need to give your nails a break from nail polish so they can breathe a little? Well, now you don’t have to. Nailberry’s innovative, breathable Lacquers contain a breakthrough formulation that allows air and moisture to pass through the polish, keeping your nails in tip-top shape - result!
What I say:
This colour is beautiful and it applies so nicely. However, on my toenails it didn't stay that long which concerns me as pedicures usually last a very long time.
Tan Luxe THE FACE Illuminating Drops in Light/Medium
1 x 30ml
What they say:
Avoid committing any (regrettable) fake-tan faux pas with Tan-Luxe’s tailor-made approach to tanning. Mix a few drops of THE FACE with your regular moisturiser to create your own bespoke self-tan. No streaks. No smells. No you’ve-been-tangoed moments.
What I say:
DO NOT DO WHAT I DID - I put the drops right on my face and rubbed it in with my hands - the next day only the places II had managed to rub were deeply brown as where my hands. I should have listened to the instructions and mixed it in with my moisturiser.
Moroccanoil Moroccanoil Treatment
1 x 25ml
What they say:
For silky, shiny, swishy hair (the coveted triple S of hair goals), Moroccanoil Treatment is your new haircare BFF. First spotted backstage at the fashion shows, this brilliant lightweight oil guarantees shine, softness and control for your hair, even on the most rebellious of locks.
What I say:
One of my all-time Holy Grail products! Not only does it make your hair smooth and silky but it also smells incredible and the smell lingers all day - I out it on in the morning and has compliments that evening! I cannot recommend this product enough - if you havn't got it already get. it. now!
Oribe Dry Texturising Spray
1 x 37ml
What they say:
For perfectly tousled, I-just-woke-up-like-this hair (yeah, right), look no further than Oribe’s bestselling styling spray. Half dry shampoo, half texturizing spray, 100% full-on glamourous volume, bed-head hair never looked so chic.
What I say:
This smells incredible and is one of the best dry-shampoos I've ever used.
Zelens 3t Complex Essential Anti-Ageing Cream
1 x 15ml
What they say:
Dr. Lens’ Triterpenoid Regenerative (“3t” for short) Complex works to dramatically firm and smooth the appearance of skin, reducing lines and wrinkles, and restoring plumpness. Enriched with 15 botanical extracts, 5 marine algae, and 7 herbal oils, this super-charged cream is the miracle we’ve been wishing for.
What I say:
I absolutely love this cream - one of the best moisturisers I've ever used. I very much wish it was in nicer packaging to reflect how luxurious it feels on your skin. I have been using this in my derma-rolling regime and have seen incredible results. It is not surprising that it is so good as a 50ml jar of it is £95. I had better start saving then.
