The Monthly Beauty Box For £1 – Latest In Beauty
We’ve all heard about monthly beauty boxes in the beauty community haven’t we? Glossybox and Boudoir Prive are a couple of favourites in the beauty world. If you haven’t heard of monthly beauty boxes the idea is that you pay a monthly fee (usually around £10) and every month you get a few items sent to you. It’s a great idea but I’ve been searching for a cheaper alternative. As I’m living the life of a poor student (sniff) I can’t really afford to fork out £10 a month, so I started googleing ‘monthly beauty boxes’ and I came across The Latest In Beauty.
The idea behind the Latest In Beauty is that you get three samples of products every month for £1. Yes that’s right, £1! Now it is slightly different from Glossybox etc, as these aren’t luxury sized samples that you often find in your monthly boxes, but are tiny samples sizes. This doesn’t personally bother me, as I’ve only paid £1 for the service, and I got quite a few samples of the three products I ordered.
Unlike other monthly boxes you’re given the option to chose what three products you get. The three products you receive are broken down into three categories; Skin Care, Makeup & Fragrances and Hair & Body, and the idea is that you pick one from each section. Once you’ve chosen your three sample products you then text a number which sends you a code, once you receive a code you enter it on the website, and voila! you’ve paid. So if you don’t fancy receiving one one month you don’t have to cancel a subscription or anything. Pretty simple right?
So what did I receive in my box?
Natura Organics Nourishing Shampoo & Conditioner
Specifically formulated for normal to dry hair and combines the most effective organic plant extracts (jojoba, shea butter, aloe vera) to nourish and condition the scalp.
I chose this one because my poor damaged hair is always in need of a bit more love. I’m constantly trying out different shampoos/treatments/sprays etc to give my hair a bit more attention. This drew me too it as it was specifically for dry or colored hair, which mine is so I thought I’d give this one a go. I only got one of each on this, so I’ll only be able to try it out once.
