Latest in Beauty - The Glamour beauty power list 2014 UNBOXING

Hello everyone, Recently I was looking into signing up for a monthly beauty box and came across www.latestinbeauty.com beauty site. You can choose your box and see the products before buying the one off box (so no subscription) this is great for me because I'm worried that if I pay for a subscription I will end up with a lot of products that I don't actually use. I decided on 'The GLAMOUR beauty power list 2014' box. Here is my unboxing and a quick overview of the products, delivery and service I received.


Delivery and service
I placed my order late on Thursday 16th October and received my order on Friday 24th October with Standard delivery (2-5 working days). My box wasn't dispatched until monday and I was then given a tracking code that was useless. It was rarely updated and eventually it was updated with 'Your parcel has been given to royal mail, it will be with you in the next two days'. I have to say this was very annoying to say I'd been given a tracking number and I had no idea when the parcel was coming. I am used to asos and they usually give you the exact hour of when your parcel will come (that is with next day delivery though). I would rather have not had a tracking number.

Price
The total price of the box was £15.99 including delivery.


Unboxing
The Glamour box contains 7 items and a years subscription to glamour for iPhone/ iPad. The box is very nicely packed and looks beautiful. I haven't really tested out the products so I can't give a fair review.



Bourjois volume 1 seconde mascara in '61 black'- I haven't heard much about this but I'm always up for trying new mascaras. It claims to create 360° volume and  is clump free- yay!
Nude Maybelline colorsensational lipstick in '725 tantalizing taupe' - Its strange but this is my first ever true nude lipstick. I've always been scared nude would wash me out because I'm pale with naturally quite red lips. I wore this for work and I love the way it looks, its about time I got on the 'Kylie Jenner lip' hype.

Eyeko mascara off eye makeup remover wipes- Again I've not heard much about this product but I'm looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately my mum just pointed out that this contains aloe. In the past I've had reactions to facewipes, lipbalms, cleansers and other skin products containing aloe (it seems to be the common denominator but I'm not 100%) . So I'm not sure if this will give me a reaction or not but I'll probably give it a try on my lashes.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish hot cloth cleanser (and cloth) -I've been wanting to try this for aaaaages! It's for all skin types and the mini size is perfect for testing it out.
Laura Mercier foundation primer- This is a gel Primer that is full of vitamins perfect for normal and combination skin types. I'll be letting you know how this goes!

James Read sleep mask tan -this is the only product I might not use because I don't normally fake tan, It is a sort of gradual tan that you can either use like a mask and wash off after 2 hours or leave on over night and wake up sunkissed.
Philip Kingsley daily damage defence conditioning spray- I'm always testing out new hair products and this looks great because my hair is in need conditioning. The dying is really taking its toll!

I also received one leaflet explaining each product and another with a few offers from some of the brands in the box/ glamour/ latest in beauty. For example, a free L'Oreal lip colour on my next order at latest in beauty.



Overall I am please with my purchase, It gives some an opportunity to try a few things I maybe wouldn't normally pick up. I'm looking forward to trying everything and I'm sure I'll let you know how they go!

Thanks for reading, Alex
