Burt’s Bees is one of my favourite brands, I love their lip balms and hand creams and this box features two products from their range. The Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream smells good and I know from experience it leaves skin clean and soft. The lip crayon in Sedona Sands is a purple-pink colour that I quite like. Plus all their products are 100% natural.

Colab dry shampoo in Monaco – this is my favourite brand of dry shampoo – although some of the scents can be a little overwhelming. It doesn’t dry like dandruff as some other brands do and it brushes out easily.

I’m a bit concerned by the need for stickers that say ‘Do Not Eat’ on the Zoella Fresh Fizz bath Fizzers, I regularly buy things from Lush that smell delicious and manage not to eat them!

Dr Organic Snail Gel Anti-Aging Facial Serum – still not sure about snail gel as they gross me out in my plant pots.

La Roche-Posay Corrective Unclogging Care – this claims to unclog pores, correct imperfections and marks – big claims for a small bottle. French beauty brands are a big deal and famous for their effectiveness.

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil for hair, skin and face. I am obsessed with this, I have tins stashed everywhere, my bag, the sofa, next to the bed etc. Smells great, leaves hair soft and shiny, provides much needed moisture and softness to skin. And as it’s a solid – no leaking!

Eye of Horus goddess mascara in Babylon brown. Once upon a time I tried brown mascara, it was very short lived. When I do wear mascara, I prefer to coat my blonde lashes in dramatic black, the brown just looks weird.

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer – designed for Audrey Hepburn, this is really popular and while it didn’t seem to make much difference to my stubborn hair (nothing does – it resists all styling products) friends say it makes theirs healthy looking and shiny.

Latest in Beauty – Beauty Awards Finalists

Latest in Beauty’s 2015 Beauty Awards finalists feature more than 30 beauty brands but getting your hands on them is tricky as they sell out fast.

You can select your choice of items, 6, 9 or 15 products for a varied price list.

In the end I went for 6 as a lot of the things I’d have liked had sold out super quick. You can also vote for your favourites.

MUA pro-base prime and conceal

CoLab dry shampoo in Monaco

Popband ‘no dent’ hair tie

Carmex original lip balm

Body Shop Wild Argan Oil for face, hair and body

Burt’s Bees beeswax lip balm

Some of these are things I would buy anyway, I missed out on some great products, but I think it might be better to have some things I will definitely use regularly as opposed to more things that sit on the shelf gathering dust.

What products piqued your interest if you took part in the LiB voting?
