I bought this when there was a special of a buy one of the beauty boxes and get a We Love Nails for an extra $10. Unlike some other subscription boxes that focus mainly on travel and sample sized products this box has 5 full-sized items, 1 travel-sized item and 1 product that is single time use. That was a special too good for me to pass up. I had been eyeing this box for awhile since I really wanted 3 of the 7 items in this box and figured I could use all of them. The customer service was excellent I had no problems with the payment and the box arrived within a week or two. The box is a pretty light blue one with a domed top that folds in at the top in sort of like a four petal flower. Now to give a brief run down of the contents and my opinion.
- Trilogy Age-Proof Co-Q10 Booster Oil - I've used this facial oil before and it's really nice if your skin is on the drier side. This oil is worth $48.90 and so it's definitely the star of the box and made me want to purchase it. The BEBB team did a fantastic job adding in it so more people can try this facial oil or perhaps it's a luxury item mom wouldn't purchase for herself.
- Skinfood Exfoilating Scrub - I've used this before it's in my opinion to rough for skin especially sensitive skin but I'll use it as body scrub.
- Goodness Every Evening Cream - Moms and those with drier skin need a good night cream. Makes a great addition to this box and since this made mostly with natural ingredients and a good option for sensitive skin. I gave mine to my sister who reacts to a lot of brands and has really dry skin. She loved it.
- Moisture Mist Gentle Protective Moisture - Of course if you want a good anti-aging skincare routine you've got to include spf protection. This has an spf of 19. I would have preferred a higher spf but at least this has an spf higher than 15 which is the minimum. It's good they included this since everyone should be wearing spf of 15 or higher daily.
- Dr Lewinn's Treatment Mask - A luxury item I wouldn't have walked in and bought definitely was one of the products I was attracted to in this box. This is the one use item. Excellent of the team to include a luxury sheet masque in the box this screams pamper and I'm saving this for a special occasion.
- Dermalogica Hand and Nail Treatment - Another product that encouraged me to purchase this box. This is the travel sized item. Honestly I'm worried of liking this too much and having to splurge on the full sized tube of this. This product adds to the variety of the box and though I love hand creams at the moment it's not something I would have bought for myself.
- Lady Jane Makeup Purse - Choice of black and white or pink and grey. I got sent the pink and grey one. It's handy if someone is just starting a collection of skincare to have a bag to put it in.
I'm very happy to have purchased this box. Everything in this box I can use. This is great to buy as a skincare pamper for yourself or mom.
I purchased this BBBE for myself, with the idea that it was a wonderful way to stock up on essentials. The type of skin-care procucts in this box are all things that I feel I need to use plenty of, as i'm pushin' 30, and the signs of aging are begining to become apparent.
There's one product in the box that I'd used before which is the Skinfood exfoliating scrub. The other products in the box, I may not have ever tried otherwise, and I'm really happy with them all!
The star product in this box is the Trilogy serum, which I feel is the most effective serum that I've ever used. Although I've tried and been fond of Trilogy products before, this serum is a product that I wouldn't have considered purchasing individually, as it's quite pricy (It's pretty close to the cost of this entire box!) However, having had the opportunity to try it, thanks to this BBBE, It's so good that I just might consider purchasing it individually in future.
The other stand-out, luxury product is the face mask. It feels so increadibly soothing and hydrating, I really loved it. I spotted boxes of them at my local pharmacy, 6 of masks for $99.. Sadly I will not be investing, as they're way out of my price range! But it was really nice to get to try one.
The brands of the other every day products in the box are quite reputable, and rightly so. I've found all of these products to be pretty good; effective and very pleasant to use.
The cosmetic purse is the icing on the cake. it's a generous size, sturdy form and fabric, zips closed securely, and there's a decent size mirror on the inside flap.
Overall, I cannot fault this box. I'm exceptionally happy with it. I would have bought one for my mum too if she wasn't overseas for a year, I know she'd be overwhemed by the greatness of it. I still may purchase another one yet..
