Selfridges Summer Beauty Box









Hey ladies! Hope your weekend is going well and you've had a chance to enjoy some of the rare sunshine we have been having the last couple of days. Its been lovely outside its just a shame I've had to work through some of it. Boo! Anyway on to todays post. The other day I saw a few people tweeting about purchasing the Selfridges Summer Beauty Box. I had no idea what this was so quickly logged onto the website had a little look. As soon as I saw the photos I knew I had to get one!
The Selfridges Summer Beauty box costs just £25 and included nine designer and high end brand products to test out and enjoy related to summer, basically its like a luxurious Glossybox. The products value all adds up to an amazing £70 which is fantastic seeing as you only pay a quarter of that. I couldn't believe these boxes existed and I had never heard of it before! Unfortunately they are all sold out now which sucks but I thought I would share with you what was inside this limited edition box.

Let me just quickly say, that the packaging is amazing! First up, it arrives in what looks like a standard cardboard box but when opened, it has the signature Selfridges yellow interior with super cute tissue paper around the box itself. The box is a lovely shiny white with 'Selfridges & Co' printed on the corner and again filled with super cute yellow polka dot tissue paper complete with a 'wow' sticker. I just think its a really nice touch and makes you feel as if you have purchased something really special. If this is how Selfridges packs all their products, then I think I might order more from there when I really feel like treating myself. Anyway, onto the products..

Aqua Splash Tangle Teezer. RRP £12.99. Like I have said before, my hair gets very tangled when I have just washed it and I like using these gentle brushes to comb them out. The fact that I got a full sizes brush in this box is amazing and I can't wait to test this out!

Models Own Neon Nail Polish in 'Bubblegum'. RRP £5.00. You should all know by now that I am a nail polish addict so I was really excited! This colour is gorgeous and I have used Models Own polishes before so I know that the formula is brilliant and is very long wearing. The perfect shade for the summer and when you have that golden tan.

St Tropez Instant Glow Face Lotion 50ml. RRP £10.25. This looks really good, St Tropez products can be really expensive and I'm not the sort of girl to spend lots of money on tanning products that I am totally useless with. However this looks like something I would definitely try out. Its a lotion that you just smooth onto your face and neck and leaves you with a golden glow, perfect for when real sunbathing just isn't an option.

Molton Brown Aqua Shower Gel 100ml. Full size RRP £18.00. I love Molton Brown products! They always smell amazing and this one is no exception. Its a really summery kind of smell and very refreshing. Its also a reasonable size too so it will last a while too. I cant wait to use this!

Lancaster After Sun 40ml. Full size RRP £22.00. I'm always one for finding a really good aftersun. There is nothing worse then working on that perfect tan and then not protecting yourself afterwards. Very interested to see how this one works and whats more, its also a tan maximiser too! So its works to prolong and deepen your tan slightly as well. If this works, then I have a feeling I'll be hooked.

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray 50ml. Full size RRP £20.50. So excited to see this was included in the box! I have been wanting to try Bumble and Bumble products for ages and this surf spray looks pretty good! Who isn't after that sexy, wind swept look to their hair that you can achieve naturally on a beach? This can do it for you! So excited to give this a go. I hope it works because I would love to be able to achieve that look on a daily basis.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir 30ml. RRP £10.35. Eeek! Can't believe this was included in the box! I have heard so many brilliant things about this product around the blogging world and now I can try it for myself. Its apparently meant to help tighten pores and smooth out your skin whilst giving your skin added radiance. Should be interesting to see what whether this will work for me or not. I'll keep you posted. :)

Erborian BB Cream 12ml. Full size RRP £13.00. I like trying out different BB Creams and this one looks pretty interesting and claims to give you the 'Baby Skin' effect. I have never heard of this brand before but I'll give it a go as its meant to blend into your skin perfectly for a good tonal coverage. Exciting stuff. :)

Jane Tran Hair Clips. RRP £8.00. This is a cute little extra and something I'll use just to see what they look like. I haven't ever heard of the brand or anything but I am assuming they are pretty good. Just a nice little extra touch.

So overall I am really impressed with Selfridges Summer Beauty Box and everything thats included. Its well worth the £25 and gives you lots of new designer products to try out. Did any of you get hold of this box? What did you think or the products included?
