This month’s Cohorted Beauty Box is an absolutely cracking
one!
As I mentioned last month, each Cohorted box can be bought
on a monthly basis and doesn’t require you to subscribe, you can just pay as
you go.The boxes ALWAYS sell out and cost just £19.99 which is a bargain
because the value of the products within ALWAYS far exceeds twenty quid.
The value of this box is a whopping £71.50 and it contains some absolutely gorgeous items!
The first of two theBalm products is a gorgeous nude
eyeshadow palette called Nude’tude (£35).
This cheeky, tongue in cheek palette contains 12 beautiful
eyeshadows that are perfect for
creating a gorgeous natural look.
The palette contains 7 shimmery shades; Sassy, Snobby,
Stand-offish, Selfish, Sophisticated, Seductive and Silly and 5 matte ; Stubborn,
Sultry, Sexy, Serious and Sleek.
The palette contains subtle nudes and gentle taupes as well as some slightly more dramatic shades meaning the set can take you from day to night.
Each shade is wonderfully soft in texture and highly
pigmented, making application easy and they are super easy to build and blend.
The second product from theBalm
is their Put A Lid On It Primer, which I believe is a sample size as its teenie
tiny at just 3.5ml.
Obviously it goes hand in hand with the eye palette as the
soft, beige cream is designed to be used to prime your eyelid and make your
shadow last longer.
There’s not a whole lot to say about this product; it’s a beige,
quick drying cream that creates a good base for your eyeshadow. I have to be
honest, I never tend to primer my lids but I would say that on the occasion I
used this, I experienced less slippage and the powder did seem to stick to my
lids rather than flake off in powder particles more than it might have
otherwise.
Next up is the Nars
Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Walkyrie (£19).
I LOVE this lip pencil! It is rich and creamy, easy to apply
and glides onto your lips seamlessly.
It’s a beautifully shade that I reckon would compliment most
skin tones and its on trend matte finish is just fab.
I love the convenience of lip colours in a pencil and really
like that my lips didn’t feel too dry after applying the colour despite it
being a matte finish. This gets a big thumbs up from me!
I also really loved the Molton
Brown Seamoss Bath & Shower Gel (£10).
I can’t help but think that £10 is a lot of money to spend
on a 50ml bottle of bubble bath but hey, it is Molton Brown after all.
This gel features body boosting seaweed and horse chestnut
extract to improve skin texture and has a distinctly masculine scent to it,
which I really like.
Sometimes the occasion calls for a relaxing bath and I find
that the more masculine smelling products are often more stress relieving and
fresh than the usual sacchariney ones I use.
It creates beautiful frothy bubbles and leaves you smelling
clean and fresh and feeling revitalised; I’ve actually just ordered a big
bottle of this! Whoops!
The product I liked the least was the Gucci Premier Shower Gel (£7.50) but
this is purely because I’m not a fan of the fragrance.
It’s a heady scent to compliment the fragrance and its just
not for me.
That said it does a great job of cleansing your skin and
undoubtedly leaves you smelling like Gucci Premier, so if you’re a fan of
the fragrance then this is a great companion product.
You can now pre order the October Cohorted Beauty Box now
over on their website.
