“A series of calming and restorative products to leave you relaxed, refresh and raring to go.”
We love You Beauty Box for sourcing good quality brands that are less known but not trash. This box had a strong focus on skincare and relaxation…right up our street. There was a stand out item but the overall offering was a strong shortlist of relaxation products. Love Philosophy too, although we all moan about sachet samples. Still nice for free.
[Comfort Zone]: Sublime Skin Essence, 5ml
Value: £2.20
“Intensive concentrated solution that stimulates skin regneration and bestows an even, compact and youthful appearance to the skin. Rebalances the hydrating factors of the skin (NMF) and encourages the synthesis of structural proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Immediate hydrating action, maximising the efficacy of the anti-age products which are applied thereafter. Science-based conscious formulas.”
BT INITIAL THOUGHTS: Well that is an awful lots of pseudo-scientific babble isn’t it? A lot for a 5ml sample to live up to, but we do love trying out nutrient-rich essences and this one is silicone free.
111Skin: Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask, 23ml
Value: £17.00
“Utilises the most advanced technology on the market to deliver beneficial nutrients into the dermis. The mask adheres to your skin like a second skin. The gel like structure of the mask will instantly cool and regulate body temperature. Since the fibres of the mask are 500x finer than tissue masks, the bio cellulose instantly locks moisture into your skin.”
BT INITIAL OPINION – This was the star product of the box for us. Despite it’s suspect claims to regulate body temperature (!!!), can a face mask possibly be worth the £17 it costs? It’s our once chance to find out! We love hydrogel masks (which we assume this is from the description) – they are sooo moisturising and it’s normal for them to cost more than normal sheet masks.
EXTRA TREATS:
Philosophy: Purity made simple 3-in-1 cleanser, 6ml
Value: £1.74
“An award-winning, one-step daily cleanser for face and eyes. It rapidly dissolves dirt, oil and makeup to deep clean pores while maintaining moisture levels.”
BT INITIAL OPINION – Great that this is suitable for both face and eyes and love this brand, but well, y’all know how we feel about sachet samples…

OVERALL VERDICT:
A mainly nice selection of items this month, other than the rather random pencil sharpener. It was great to have such a premium item as the 111Skin face mask in the shortlist. We took a while choosing between all the pamper items but decided to take a gamble on the skin essence as we hadn’t heard of [comfort zone] before. There were some good size samples on offer (other than the sample sachet) – all in all a good month for You Beauty.
Box price: £6.95 inc shipping
