Caroline Hirons Cult Beauty Box #2




Back in May Caroline Hirons and Cult Beauty collaborated to bring us a Beauty Box containing some skincare must haves at a great price. That box sold out pretty much immediately and was such a success that just three months later they got together again to produce Box #2.
Once again the box was heavily discounted - valued at 170 pounds it cost just 100 with free worldwide shipping.

Whilst the first box was simply a lovely selection of  diverse products, this box had a 'glow' theme to it. Containing eight products - six of which are full sized whilst the other two are very generous deluxe minis - I think that this box is wonderful value with a great selection of items, sure to please someone who is new to high end skincare as well as the already obsessed! Another thing that I really like about this is that the products make up a whole routine - cleanse, 'tone', eye cream, serum and moisturiser and they are suitable for all skin types.

There is a choice of two cleansers: RMS Beauty Raw Coconut  Cream which is not only great for removing make up (first cleanse) it's also a great multi tasking moisturizer, hair mask etc etc
The other cleanser is Skyn Pure Cloud Cleanser, a creamy cleanser suitable for any skin type but in particular stressed skin (that's me!).

Pixi Glow Tonic is an exfoliating toner with 5% gycolic acid. I'm excited to try this as I love acid toners. FYI Target have finally got around to stocking this so I'm hoping that I love it as it will be easy for me to replenish.

There are two serums: REN Vita Mineral Omega 3 Optimum Skin Serum Oil (longest product name ever?) and Odacite Hydration Serum. Personally, I would use the REN at night and the Odacite during the day purely as I'm not a fan of face oils during the day - love 'em at night though. The Odacite serum is highly concentrated which is why, although full sized, it's a tiny bottle - you only need a drop or two which you can either pat onto a damp face or add to your usual cream. I'm excited to try this as my skin gets very dehydrated.

Skin Owl Eye+ is a cucumber scented gel that feels so soothing and cooling. It has hyaluronic acid to moisturize and also depuffs and lifts the eye area. I really like this!

For moisturizing there is Alpha H Essential Hydration Cream. I already have and love the version of this with SPF50 - it is my summertime sunscreen go to -  so I know that I will love this.

Finally there is a huge pot of Pomade Divine which is a multi purpose balm for hydrating very dry areas, treating dry lips, cuticles etc as well as being a treatment for minor cuts and burns. It's been around since 1800, is formulated from natural ingredients and is one of those all round wonder products. 

This is a great selection of products and there are still some boxes available on www.cultbeauty.co.uk.
Why not treat yourself? It would also make a perfect gift for pretty much anyone!
