From a skincare trio by Scarlett Johansson’s new beauty brand to a cult eye mask and non-budge liquid lipstick, here’s everything you need to know about what’s inside our jam-packed beauty box…
The festive season is finally upon us, and with it comes packed social calendars. Thankfully, there’s so much joy to found in getting ready, whether it’s spilling the contents of our make-up bag onto your bag and singing loudly to Michael Buble while applying your mascara, or borrowing a pal’s hair tools and reminiscing over last year’s antics.
To make the process even more exciting, we’ve teamed up with Latest in Beauty to create our newest beauty box: the Prep and Party Edit, £60. In this box, you’ll find everything you need to prep and complete your beauty look for all of your festive gatherings, including skincare, make-up, hair care and body care. What’s more, the box is packed with 20 beauty products, and a staggering 14 of them come full-sized.
Among the line-up, you’ll find a longwear lipstick that doesn’t budge (no matter the amount of mulled wine or hot chocolate you sip), a cult hair oil for mirror-like shine and our go-to body cream to nourish parched skin, along with a travel-friendly skincare trio, in case you decide to get ready at a friend’s house. What’s more, the total worth of these products comes up to £321 – but you can get it for just £60. Even better, Stylist readers can get £5 off and free delivery with the code STYLISTREADER, totalling a saving of £8.95. Keen to see what’s inside? Here’s everything you need to know about our latest beauty box…
Every item inside the Stylist x Latest in Beauty Prep and Party box
The Outset Daily Essentials Travel Set
Yep, we’re kicking things off with a skincare line-up that delivers not one, not two but three products. Giving you everything you need in a convenient travel set, you’ll find the brand’s Micellar Antioxidant Cleanser, Firming Vegan Collagen Prep Serum and its popular Nourishing Squalane Daily Moisturizer. The perfect line-up to prep skin, but also maintain it post-party, too.
Bouclème Scalp Exfoliating Shampoo
This time of year can see us layering an array of hair styling products along our roots, from dry shampoo and hairspray to texture sprays and gels. Thankfully, this shampoo provides the perfect reset. Simply massage it onto your scalp and tiny hydrogenated castor oil beads will effectively but gently exfoliate and stimulate the area.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Heat Defeat Protecting Spray
It’s also a time where your hair may be exposed to excessive heat styling. Save your ends from getting fried with this cult spray, formulated with heat-protective ingredients. Its multi-benefits mean it also leaves hair smoother, helps seal the hair cuticle and prevents damage. Tick, tick, tick.
Wella Professionals Oil Infused Lotion Spray Dream Smooth & Nourish
If your hair is prone to parched ends, this will be a beauty kit favourite. The formula is packed with a blend of nourishing oils, such as coconut and tea tree, to help revive, repair and replenish any dry or brittle ends. Plus, it detangles and adds a mirror-like shine. Told you it’d be a beauty bag saviour.
Garnier Body Superfood Avocado + Omega 6
Avocado is known for its soothing, nourishing skin properties, while omega 6 is heralded for its ability to strengthen the lipid barrier. So it’s fair to say this tub performs hydration wonders as the power duo of ingredients team up to deliver intense moisture. Slather it onto any dry areas and skin will instantly feel smoother and more supple.
Pixi Rose Tonic
A popular addition to Pixi’s iconic toner range, this rose formula works to calm and refresh skin, helping to reduce signs of redness. Use it before moisturiser at both the beginning and end of your night.
Avant Velvet Perfecting Rose Sugar Lip Scrub
Between harsh heating and biting winds, our lips are more prone to dryness around this time of year. This lip scrub gently buffs away dead skin cells, while sweet almond oil prevents them getting irritated.
Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream
A handy tube to pop in your handbag, this gel cream has some impressive ingredient credentials. Alongside skin-loving minerals, 60% of its formula is made up of deep sea water, taken from 605 metres below sea level. Add this to a marine complex of glasswort, sea grapes and kelp, and you have long-lasting hydration with every application.
Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Eye Mask
These cult eye masks are infused with retinol and the brand’s patented skin-boosting ReNeura technology to leave skin smoother and brighter. After use, make-up applies like a dream.
James Read Glow 20 Facial Tan Serum
Thanks to its ability to create a glowy tan in just 20 minutes, it’s no wonder this serum is a pre-party favourite. Plus, the formula is colourless, meaning no worries about random streaks or patches.
Spectrum Collections White Marble Luxe Flat Foundation Brush
Make-up application is all in the tools, and this one is perfect for any base products. It has a wide bristle end that makes blending and layering up coverage easy. Plus, it’s 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
Revolution Beauty Bronzer Powder in Vignette
Bronzer is one of the easiest ways to enhance a party look. Simply swirl a big, fluffy brush around the pan and sweep it along your cheekbones, forehead, jawline and across the bridge of your nose. The creamy stain matte finish will give skin a healthier-looking finish instantly.
Protein Formula for Nails Protein Formula 1 For Nails I Maintain
Between dipping temperatures and gel mani appointments, it’s normal if your nails are feeling slightly worse for wear. This nail treatment contains plant keratin and AHAs to strengthen, nourish and condition your nails.
Manucurist Green Nail Polish in Hollyhock
Manucurist has quickly become a beauty fan-favourite due to its long-lasting and glossy-finish formulas. This shade, Hollyhock, is a rich black red that looks great on all skin tones and compliments any outfit.
Eye Candy Extension Collection - Hybrid
If you love the look of eyelash extensions but can’t handle the upkeep and commitment, these are for you. Fluffy and curled to deliver a cat-eye finish, these lashes will add an extra touch of glam to your eye look.
3ina The Longwear Lipstick in 254
No party look is complete without a swiping of lipstick. 3ina’s highly-pigmented formulas have gained a reputation for their long-lasting abilities, meaning you won’t find yourself constantly re-applying throughout the night.
Delilah Lip Line Long Wear Retractable Lip Pencil in Naked
If you like a sharp, clean finish on your lip look, pair your liquid lipstick with this liner. The creamy texture dries down to prevent bleeding or smudging, plus its brown-pink hue works well with most lipstick shades.
Vida Glow Natural Marine Collagen Mixed Trial Pack
Interested in collagen supplements but unsure where to start? These Vida Glow sachets are perfect for on-the-go use – a box contains 14 servings, a mix of original and blueberry flavours.
