Cohorted October 2015

It's the last of the normal Cohorted boxes this month as they have changed over to their monthly subscription service. From November it will be £35 a month for the box (a nasty £15 price increase, and something I don't think I'll be forking out the money for unfortunately). This month's box seems to focus on Bare Minerals with a whooping three products from them, plus a few extras as well. 

Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Hypnotist - My oh my, look at this lipgloss. A multi dimensional lipgloss that can be worn alone or layered over a lipstick for colour shifting effects and high shine. This lipgloss colour is truly rather hard to describe, the gloss itself is a peachy yellow, with hints of purple and gold. 

Bare Minerals Purifying Facial Cleanser - This gentle cleanser removes makeup and dissolves impurities, leaving your skin soft and smooth. It's even gentle enough to remove eye make up. This handy 60ml tube will be great for travelling. 

Bare Minerals Purely Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin - This super thick cream improves firmness, elasticity, radiance and texture. To be honest I was pretty disappointed to receive a face cream as I'm loyal to my holy grail body shop face cream (more on that in a blog post coming soon), however I have been testing it out on my arms as they are super dry at the moment and I must say I'm impressed, it certainly helped combat any dryness as well as adding radiance. 

Ciate Nail Polish in Serendipity - Who doesn't love pink and glitter in one product? This glitter nail polish by Ciate is the perfect colour to instantly jazz up your nails. 

Peter Thomas Roth Lashes To Die For Mascara - I've never heard of this brand before, I can't wait to give it a try and see if its any good. The mascara wand claims to have two specialised areas for lengthening and volumising the lashes, I must say that the wand is a very unique, interesting shape.

Cohorted September 2015

I totally forgot about Cohorted's pre sale for the September box so was delighted to see that they still had some boxes left afterwards and I knew I had to get my hands on one. If you haven't heard of Cohorted before but love high end products then this will be right up your street. Cohorted release a beauty box each month, which you buy as a one off, full of high end products including the likes of Nars, Bare Minerals and Too Faced. Each box contains around 4-5 beauty products and is the same for everyone. The great thing about Cohorted is everything is pretty much full sized or a very generous sample size. 

This months box contains 5 products worth a whooping £71.50, priced at just £19.99 plus p+p this box is definitely a great value for money. I've only had a couple of Cohorted boxes before and they have all been amazing so its hard to pick a favourite but this month is definitely right up there at the top. 

theBalm Nude Tude Eyeshadow Palette - I have being eyeing up the Nude Tude palette by theBalm for a while now but never seem to want to take the plunge and purchase it, therefore it's always a pleasure to receive it in a beauty box so you feel as though you didn't pay out for it. I love the fun, cheeky packaging of this palette as well as a great selections of colours and a dual ended brush. With 12 fairly neutral colours ranging from shimmery to matte you can create a variety of looks.

Molton Brown Seamoss Bath & Shower Gel - This shower gel infused with seaweed and horse chestnut sounds like pure relaxation in a bottle, it claims to improve your skins texture as well as relieving stress and fatigue. My mum is a big fan of Molton Brown shower gels so I might pass this one onto her. 

Gucci Premier Shower Gel - I've never smelt the Gucci Premier fragrance before however judging on this shower gels scent it smells absolutely divine. Infused with orange blossom, white flowers, musk and leather, it's the perfect balance between sweet floral and a more muskier scent. 

theBalm Put A Lid On It Eyelid Primer - A perfect added extra to accompany the eyeshadow palette, this matte eyeshadow primer creates a base for your eyeshadow to prevent creasing and increase the longevity of the shadows. 

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Walkyrie - I think I actually squealed with joy when I saw that there was Nars in this months box. This lip crayon in Walkyrie is the perfect autumn shade, the perfect brown based shade. Even though this lip pencil is matte, it doesn't leave my lips feeling dry like some matte lipsticks can.

I can't wait for the October box!

Cohorted Box May 2015

After seeing so many reviews about the Cohorted box I knew I needed it in my life. With it being my birthday this month I thought I'd treat myself and made it my mission to get my hands on a box this month. Admittedly it took me around 25 minutes and a lot of refreshing to get the box it was worth it. However I know a lot of people missed out because the site crashed for them. Hopefully this is something they are working on and everyone will be able to get there hands on a Cohorted box. 

The value of this month's box is worth a whooping £92.50, when it only cost £20 plus p+p this is a real steal. I love high end makeup and this box is a great way of trying high end brands I might not necessarily go for. The box itself is presented well, with a sleek black box, a magnetic closure and secured with a black ribbon.

Cargo Cosmetics Vintage Escape Eyeshadow Palette (RRP £35)

I don't own anything from Cargo Cosmetics but have heard great things so seeing this in the box was a massive hit. Receiving a FULL SIZED palette in a beauty box is incredible especially when its valued a £35. This palette is a great and unique neutral palette, unlike anything I own. Whilst the colours are fairly neutral it has some great coloured shadows that don't seem too scary to use. When swatching this product the shadows seem incredibly creamy and pigmented, the palette also contains a dual ended shadow brush. 

Dolce & Gabbana Lace Nail Lacquer in Perfection 220 (£19)

Seeing Dolce & Gabbana in a beauty box is so exciting, I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw everyone was going to receive this D&G Nail Lacquer in 220 Perfection. I'm a big fan of nude nails at the moment so this shade is perfect for me. I don't own any high end polish so I can't wait to test it out to see if it's a much better formula than my drug store ones. 

Too Faced Exotic Color Eyeshadow in Poison Orchid (RRP £15)

Whilst I love Too Faced I was a bit skeptical about this Exotic Color Eyeshadow. In the pan the shadow looks crazily purple but when swatched it almost transforms into this navy shadow with a strong purple glitter running throughout. The shadow is pigment and blends easily onto the skin. 

Michael Kors Lip Lacquer in Dame (RRP £23.50)

I love Michael Kors bags and watches so it's awesome to receive a Michael Kors lipstick. I'm a massive lipstick fan so of course you can never have too many. This lip lacquer in 'Dame' looks scarily dark in the tube but when swatched it is a lot sheerer, swatching as this beautiful berry colour with a red glitter throughout. Whilst it is quite a sheer lipstick, it is very smooth so can easily be built without going patchy as I find some sheer lipsticks do. 

Cohorted a releasing a limited amount of the June box on the 1st June at 6pm. Make sure you are there, you don't want to miss out. 

Did you manage to get your hands on the Cohorted box?
