Beauty Boxes for the Skint Student

Right now we’re in peak summer season. Which means for most of us money money money (and also no social life).When you were young summer meant freedom, man how things have changed, now it’s long work days, almost everyday. But look on the bright side YOU HAVE MONEY! Well that is until you go to that festival, a friend has a birthday or you go back to uni… then you’re begging for your loan to come in! So in appreciation for all the students who like to keep up with the latest beauty but can’t afford to break the bank here’s a magical box of beauty you’ll be swapping that beer money for!

If you’re up for trying branded products (both men and women) but can’t really afford to waste your money on a £30 product to then realize it doesn’t work for you. (I mean we’re students!) The perfect website is definitely http://www.latestinbeauty.com/ , from here you can get sample size products and sometimes full sized (they tell you which on the description) to test out by either building your own box or choosing one of their collections! At the moment they have a perfect little deal if you just want to test drive what they offer and see how it works. They have two perfect for summer: The Summer edit and A Weekend Away Beauty Box both at £20 each.

I’ve ordered four of their boxes over the last year, 3 being collections and 1 I put together as a Gift for a friend. The most I have spent on a box is £25 plus P&P but it really is worth it and they let you know how much it would cost you to buy them separately, so you can see how much you’re saving! Pretty much all the beauty products I’ve received have been beneficial because they’ve worked for me and I keep whatever bottles run out so I know for future reference that they’re worth paying for!

I love this site because they always have a collection that suits me as they have at least 4 different ones you can choose from at a time. Plus, they release a collection with products so perfect for that particular upcoming season! The Summer edit I bought last year was an absolute treat – it had fake tan, suncream, lipbalm, a tanning glove and loads more! It was created by GLAMOUR magazine who collaborate with them each season. So if you’re a fan of the magazine like I am it’s well worth the look. They also have a gift section so you pick the personality of the person you’re buying for and they suggest the best box!

The best thing about this wonderful website for me though is the fact you just make an account and you don’t have to subscribe to anything unlike other websites where you pay monthly. You can just pick and choose when and what you want to buy!

Right now they’re also doing a free mini box if you spend over £25! Go to http://www.latestinbeauty.com/blog/ and find the checkout code for the one you’d like to choose!

Being a student doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the gorgeous beauty products up for grabs!
