My first October beauty box is here! I can't believe how fast it arrived! One extra point for fast delivery to You Beauty Discovery! I ordered it on Wednesday 1st October and it arrived Friday 3rd! Amazing! This month the new items were available at 7 am instead of midnight. The webpage was so busy in the morning with everyone trying to order their favourite items. I was lucky to manage to put an order before going to work! This is what I chose this month:
Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
This is a 30 ml sample of Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser. It's a good sample size to try the product, I wouldn't buy the full size product that costs £34 without trying it first! The product is a combination of exfoliator, cleanser and toner! price: £5.10 full size product 200 ml for £34 value to me: £3 I haven't tried it yet so I can't really tell how amazing (or not) this product is. |
Spezia facial cleanser
Spezia is another premium brand. I wash twice per day my face so I knew I was going to use this facial cleanser. The sample is small, 10 ml, and it comes in a cute small tin. Once the tin is empty I will use it to carry my hand cream in my bag! price: £5.34 full size product 200 ml for £34 value to me: £3 Again, I didn't have time to try the product and I can't comment on its real value. |
Extras
This month You Beauty Discovery Box comes with the following extras:
Cowshed Anti-Ageing Perfecting Night Serum (1 sachet)
1 Gold Collagen Forte bottle 50 ml (worth around £2.50 if you purchase 90 bottles for £219 and this is the best available program in terms of money for value. Different programs with fewer bottles are available as well: http://www.gold-collagen.com/forte)
Handbag heroes YBD magazine
I am not that thrilled with this months extras to be honest. I would like to try the Cowshed night serum but one sachet won't be enough to persuade me to spend £48 on the full size product. The Gold Collagen Forte is a food supplement for over 40s. I can't use it, I don't have the right age! And still with one bottle you wouldn't be able to see if the product is worth buying.
The value of these products to me is 0.

Impressions
The box arrived within 3 days of ordering and I must recognise that this was amazing! I think that the best value products in YBD are the make up products. I prefer skincare and although I could chose some nice skincare products of high value, their size is small. The total value of the box was £12.94 out of which £2.50 is for the collagen drink which I can't use. The make up options of the box this month were better that skincare and the products were full size! The value of the box was still higher than what I paid, so I am pleased!
The box was part of a buy 3 pay 2 boxes offer, so its cost was £4.63. Its normal price is £6.95.
Total value of the box: £12.94
Value to me: £6
