A Beauty Box With A Difference....

Etat Pur Micellar Cleansing Water, Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser, L'Occitane Angelica Hydration Cream, Melvita Moisturizing Rose Nectar, Balance Me Moisture Rich Face Cream, Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate.

This box is from Latest In Beauty which is a Beauty Box website with a difference as you can create your own custom boxes to suit you. I have seen this website before and thought it was a great idea but had always been a Glossy Box subscriber, that was until recently I cancelled and jumped ship to She Said Beauty. I suppose It could ruin the surprise element of getting a beauty box and not knowing whats in it, but I never get what suits me so I love the idea of making it my own and getting products that apply to my skin type.

I read about a collaboration with YOU magazine where they were giving away a box for £8.95, this included a full size Etat Pur cleansing water which I use already. I was just about to order another when I saw for the same price I could get all of these goodies too, so I had to get it (well I didnt have to but I think for the good of the blogging world I needed it....)

I was really impressed with the samples as I have wanted to try these for ages, the box I will say wasn't up to the standards of the others it was thin and there wasn't a luxury element to it. I didn't bother me to be honest though it was cheaper and with a full size product the packaging wasn't an issue to me.

Im looking forward to trying all of these especially the Melvita Rose Nectar and Kiehl's concentrate, I usually find I only like 2 maybe 3 samples at a push in beauty boxes but I love all of these. I do have oily skin so the Murad Exfoliator will be great to try and budge the excess oil and build up on my face. Also my skin is so dehydrated even though its oily so any of the hydrating face creams will be great to try, I usually use them at night so I will definitley be trying these over the next few days and blogging about them.

Did anyone else receive one of these boxes? Do you think a 'build your own' beauty box is a good idea?
