I justified my purchase to myself by saying itˋs £176.00 worth of products for £40.00 and my brain accepted this justification. I did also want a Tangle Teezer (thank you blogger hype) and a new lipstick which the Selfridges Summer Beauty Box contains so it was a total win win. Okay, enough with my reasons for purchasing it, let’s get into what lies within this Summer Beauty Box!
An oversized make up bag from Alphabet Bag – This cute little number is huge in comparison to my modest make up bags (I can literally fit my hold head into it) but I like it all the same. I think I might store my extensive list of post it notes in it.
Tangle Teezer – As previously mentioned, I wanted this particular item after reading a ridiculous amount of positive reviews for it. I’m getting bored of wrecking my hair while drying it so hopefully the Tangle Teezer will do my hair a favour.
Urban Decay Setting Spray – I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve pondered buying this and have then gotten distracted by a nail polish. I’m so happy to finally have the Urban Decay Setting Spray and I can’t wait to spray myself in the eye with it (you know it’s going to happen).
Illamasqua Lipstick in Luster – Oh pretty little pink lipstick how I love thee. I’m worried that this shade is going to be rather garish on me but hey, it wouldn’t be the first lipstick that looks completely wrong on me to grace my face.
Nars Lipgloss in Orgasm – I admit it, I don’t get the big deal with Nars Orgasm but I’ll happily try out the shade. I’m not a major lipgloss lover so this may end up forgotten in a drawer somewhere; there’s only so many times I can deal with my hair getting stuck to my lips after all.
Nails Inc Gel Nail Polish in Chiltern Street – I forgot that this was even going to be in the box so when I came across it I was rather happy. Pale pink nail polishes are so much effort but hopefully Nails Inc will have created the best pale pink nail polish imaginable.
James Read Day Tan – I don’t fake tan anymore so this product may be lost on me but I’m sure I can rekindle my love with the fake stuff. The only issue I have with fake tan (minus the smell and the stains it leaves on anything white) is I’m hideously pale so any change in colour is painfully obvious. Gradual tans are not gradual enough!
Rodial Dragons Blood Sculpting Gel – I thought this was something completely different when I first noticed it in the box; Dragons Blood makes it sound like something from The Hobbit or another equally current reference. As it turns out, it’s for assisting in the battle against aging which is fine for me as I can’t afford Botox.
Caudelie Grape Water – This sounds delicious and I want to drink it but I imagine that would destroy my insides. The Caudelie Grape Water promises to refresh, tone and moisturise and, like the Urban Decay Setting Spray, this will no doubt end up in my eye.
Starskin After Party Brightening – This mask is so going to make me look like Jason so I think I might keep it for Halloween. Who doesn’t want to scare children while doing some nice things for their skin?
Eyeko Fat Eyeliner – Liquid eyeliner and I do not get alone so I think this will end up in my eye too (this box is trying to destroy my vision) but I’m willing to pretend I am an eyeliner master while using it. If you ever see me in public with eyeliner all over my face you know what’s happened.
Clarins Eau des Jardins Smoothing Body Cream – I keep buying moisturisers from Lush which come in unfriendly travel packaging so this Clarins body cream will be popped into my overnight bag. At least I know there won’t be any annoying moisturiser explosions this way.
Starskin Instaglam Foaming Peeling Perfection Puff – A puff that foams and exfoliates while also reducing the appearance of wrinkles and revealing radiant skin? Sign me up! This can be used 3 times which is a little irritating considering its £7 per pack so it better be brilliant.
Ribband Sorbet – I had absolutely no idea what these were for ages (I’m such a poor excuse for a female) and I’ve only just realised they’re essentially hair ties. How silly of me
I’m so glad I was left alone in someone else’s house without knowing what to do with myself as if I hadn’t been, I still wouldn’t have a Tangle Teezer and my eyes wouldn’t be in any danger. Now if you’ll kindly excuse me, I’m going to see how dark that James Read Day Tan is going to make me.
