Beauteco Box May



Hello little bats, today's blog post is all about the new and exciting Beauteco box. Oh yawn not another beauty box i here you say, scrap that thought!. Unlike other beauty boxes this one allows you to pick a group of products from a choice of three different boxes (that means no more unwanted fragrance samples). Like other boxes it contains 5 products and costs £10 with p+p.



Mitchell and Peach~ English Growers Body Cream
I was excited to get this in my box as i have been wanting to try it for a long time but didn't want to fork out £36 for a full sized bottle. It is scented with a beautiful sweet lavender which is grown in the UK on a fifth generation farm. It left my skin feeling smooth, soft an smelling beautiful (not an overpowering lavender smell). This is the 50ml sample size, the fullsized product retails at £36


Anatomicals~ Grapefruit Body Scrub
I recently had this product in a Glossybox (smaller sized) and i loved it. The scrub is perfect for sensitive skin as the scrub isn't too rough or scratchy. It has a sweet fruity smell which lingers on the skin long after leaving the shower. This is the full sized scrub which is available for just £3.49


Anatomicals~ Hand Cream
Also in the box was another anatomicals products, i haven't tried this before but was looking forward to it. The scent is very subtle with a slight hint of something lemony (couldn't find lemon in the ingredients). It also contains vitamin E, Shea butter and sweet almond oil which left my hands feeling super soft. This product retails at £3 for a 100ml tube which is a total bargain if you ask me. 


Moa Balm
At first i wasn't sure what a "healing" balm should be used for, it sounds like tiger balm or something you would to sooth muscle aches. But it is actually a facial cleansing balm which is used to target blackheads wrinkles and even skin tone. This is the most perfect item that i could have received in a box. Currently the skin on my face scars after i get any spots or blemishes, after using this product my skin felt clean an some of the darker marks on my face had been reduced. A fullsize moa balm will set you back just £9.99 but you can also get mini balms for £4.99




Melvita~ Ultra Nourishing Cream
Ok so its pretty obvious i went for the box full of moisturizers and cream but i really do need to find something that works for my skin. This cream absorbs into the skin very quickly and gives quick results of smooth skin. The smell is rather unexpected, the packaging made me think it would smell of apricots or peaches but it actually smells of smarties (yes the sweets). This is a good product but i would rate other moisturisers above this one. A 200ml melvita cream costs £15


                                     

Due to some complications with the website my box was late being sent out, i received this in my box as a complimentary product . Beauteco have brilliant customer service and they actually realised there had been a problem before i did. I received an e-mail apologizing for the issues with the website an all of my details were put through manually, leaving me a very happy bunny. Onto the product....

Dr Bragi~ Age Management Moisturiser
This was a product available in some of the other boxes, the fullsized product is very expensive (£120!!) which is why i did not originally select it. I have tried the product before when it was featured in another beauty box and i can say it is a good product. The moisturiser is more of a gel than a cream and sinks into the skin quickly leaving good results. I have marked it down one point because of the price, i simply don't think it is worth £120.

Overall i can say that i have had a great experience with Beauteco an will be sticking with them next month for sure. It would be nice to see some cosmetics featured in future boxes but the quality of the products this month more than make up for this. The worth of my box (box 2) is £31.10. I hope you guys are interested in this new concept of a better beauty box. You can get one for yourself HERE
