SELFRIDGES SUMMER BEAUTY BOX








Hello lovelies! I hope you all had a fab Bank Holiday weekend, I had a lovely time shopping, chilling and enjoying the good weather (what little we had of it!) with Darren. My weekend was actually extended as my boyfriend's mum got married yesterday so I had an extra day off! It was a lovely lovely day and I had a great time, but I'm now writing this before going back off to work and it looks like I'm going to be finishing pretty late tonight so that's slammed be right back into reality after a lovely long weekend, never mind eh?

Anyway, this post probably won't come as too much of a shock to you all as sooo many people have blogged about this already. I actually got this quite a while ago, some of you may have seen my excitable photos on instagram (@chloesway) when it arrived! It's the Selfridges Summer Beauty Box! The absolutely fabulous products inside are as follows:

Aqua Splash Tangle Teezer
I was going to save all the products to take on Holiday with me next month but I've tried this already as my own tangle teezer is a bit worse for wear these days. This is absolutely amazing on wet hair so it'll be perfect to bring in my beach/ pool bag on holiday!

Models Own Neon Nail Varnish in Bubblegum
This is such a pretty shade, definitely a summer colour! I love neon pink with a tan, so definitely one for the suitcase!

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray 50ml
I've never tried anything like this before but I've heard great things. I'm hoping this will help me create some no heat hairsyles, as straightners in the sun are a bit of a no-no. Let me know if you've ever tried this, I'd love to hear about it.

Molton Brown Blissful Templetree Shower Gel 100ml
This smells really lovely and it's a perfect travel sized so this will definitely be going in my holiday wash bag.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir 30ml
I was super excited that this was in the box, despite not really knowing how to use it, as so many bloggers absolutely rave about it! I've heard this makes a good toner. face refresher throughout the day so this will be great for long days at the beach or even at work if I get a bit 'ughh' throughout the day!

St. Tropez Instant Glow Face Lotion 50ml
Another one I've actually already tried, I used this under my foundation for the wedding yesterday and I love it! It gives the most even, natural looking glow to your face, absolutely perfect for a night out or special occasion. 

Jane Tran Hair Clips
These are something I may not get a whole lot of use out of, but I'll bring them away with me anyway as they're much more fun than regular hair clips and bobby pins. I'd have loved them when I was in the infants mind you!

Erborian BB Cream 12ml
I recently expressed my love for the gorgeous Korean Touch in SOL BB cream so I'm hoping this is another I'll fall in love with. I've tried a lot of high street BB creams that I didn't like so much, so I'm going to give this one a go to see if it lives up to my Touch in SOL one. Watch this space!

Lancaster After Sun 40ml
It may seem boring, but I was seriously excited about this. I've had it in full size before and I absolutely love it. I use it every day on holiday after being in the sun and it soothes any burn and deepens and prolongs tan as I think it boosts your skin naturally tanning ability. Not sure how this works but it's fab fab fab!


I'm not usually one for Beauty Boxes as they're usually full of brands I don't know/ would never use/ don't seem worth the money to me, but you have no risk of that with this box! This little beauty is a limited edition Summer themed Beauty Box, still available on the Selfridges website here. This set me back just £25, which is amazing considering all the fab products you get inside are worth over £70! As I said, it is limited edition and it's already been out for quite a while so snap it up while you can if you fancy one.

  1. Aw I got one aswell, and was very pleased. I think everyone wants to have BB surf spray, I've not used it yet but hoping to add some texture and life to my hair for the summer. Lovely review, love how you wrote about all the products.

  8. wow, that is an amazing beauty box! can't believe all of the stuff you got. I actually got the b&b surf spray and to be honest I haven't found it worked for me - I'm definitely going to keep trying it but that was my first reaction to it!
