The Latest In Beauty : The Editor's Picks Box

I'm still a regular user and fan of Latest in Beauty and I'm still amazed at what they offer - 3 samples of your choice (from options) for £1.50 how easy can you get?!

I regularly use this non subscription monthly service as well as taking advantage of their Deluxe samples and amazing Themed Boxes.  

The latest themed box is The Editor's Picks Box - for £5.95!! (£2.95 p&p BUT contents worth over £30!) you receive deluxe samples of high end brands, picture this Eve Lom, L'Occitane, Miners, Emma Hardie, Ad Skin System, yes I'm not winding you up, Eve Lom and L'Occitane feature in this beauty box for under 6 smacaroonies! 

This perfectly selected box focusing on skincare but throws in an gorgeous Miners Polish to jazz things up a bit - This box is my idea of heaven - being a former beauty therapist I'm a skincare junkie and the brands featured in this edition feed my addiction precisely.

Miners Nail Colour in Jezebel – Worth £2.99

I don't think there are any of these themed boxes left but check out their deluxe samples or their monthly little beauty boxes - 

I also purchased the ARK Age Prepare Kit for Young Skin for £2.50 as it had just come back in stock - they do different variations of this kit depending on your age.   (Separate blog post soon!)

They also included a  15% discount code for minerscosmetics.co.uk ...and of course I'm going to share with you lovely people...simply enter LATEB15 at the check out page for this great discount - let me know if you use it and what you got!

Cosmopolitan Blend Perfection Sponge - BeautyBlender Dupe

Y'all may be know the latest hype about the Beauty Blender available here.  this soft pink sponge is revolutionising the way make up is applied, boasting an airbrushed effect with high level of ease to use.  

now, for £14.50 its slightly on the expensive side for a make up sponge, in my opinion anyway, but I so wanted this after seeing many tutorials showing the results.  I deliberated, talking my self out of buying it, then talking myself back into it, hence and so forth, then I got poorly sick and forgot all about this little pink dilemma.  

THEN I stumbled across a familiar sight in Superdrug, something boasting a seamless airbrushed finish, pink in colour, and with a pointed tip...

O.M.G...did I find this Beauty Blender, no but I found a great alternative, basically an downright, unashamed dupe of the Beauty Blender, not as conical as the original but, it has the same suede finish,  rounded base and pointed tip, and to top it all off, it's nearly a tenner cheaper!  




How to use: 

1. Wet the sponge squeezing out excess water
2. Apply foundation/ concealer to the back of hand or onto the sponge and dot around face
3. Gently bounce the sponge onto the make up, blending with this patting motion provides an airbrished effect
4. Use the pointed end for around the eyes/nose/lips
5. This patting/stippling motion removes the chance of streaking or tone change in the skin
6. Wash after use

So, if you haven't already splurged and got your manicured mitts on the Beauty Blender, can I recommend this alternative to save your pennies?!
