Beauty Expert collection beauty box – my first beauty box this year

Beauty boxes can be a real hit or miss – usually with a product or two that you will never use or sizes that make you feel like you have been cheated. I need to do my research thoroughly before succumbing to buying a beauty box, and it looks like my research has paid off – this one from Beauty Expert is packed and great value. I mean really great value! £50 including delivery. None of these are sample sizes either, there is enough even in the smallest one (15ml of the Shieseido Ibuki refining moisturiser) to give you a good idea of whether it suits or not.

Contents of the ‘expert edition’ are (l-r):

Paula’s Choice skin perfecting 2% BHA liquid, 118ml – a leave-on exfoliant which you swipe on after toner (night time use only in my opinion, although they say it can be used morning and night)

Nuxe melting body scrub, 50ml – almond and orange smelling delight

Su-Man face polish, 30ml – exfoliating coffee smelling, non-irritating favourite of mine

The Hero Project glow drops dry touch facial oil, 30ml – contains vitamin C to brighten complexion (I would use on neck and décolleté too)

Shiseido Ibuki refining moisturiser, 15ml – the cleanser from this range is a winner, so expect the moisturiser to be great too

ila-spa body wash & lotion duo, 150ml each – I don’t spend enough on luxury body care, so this is a treat waiting to happen

Joico colour endure treatment masque, 250ml – stronger hair and protected colour in just a few minutes

Mádara brightening AHA peel mask, 60ml – organic skincare that is also ECOCERT, harnessing fruit acids to exfoliate
