Here’s a closer look inside the Birthday Box…
Leighton Denny Nail Polish in the shade Provocative
12ml full-size, RRP £12.50
I always have a red nail polish to hand; a few quick swipes on bare fingers or toes will instantly make me feel more pulled together. Leighton Denny is one of the best nail polish brands, applying smoothly and shiny, and staying chip-free for days.
The benefits:
- Award-winning quick-drying polish that is easy to apply
- Fabulous high-shine finish that is long-lasting
- Pillar box red shade which might look familiar to our subscribers and OK! readers - Happy Birthday to us!
How to use:
For best results, apply a base coat first, then follow with two thin layers of this Leighton Denny polish. Finish with a top coat to lock in the colour, add extra shine, and keep your colour chip-free for longer.
Rodial Vit-C Brightening Cleanser
135ml full-size, RRP £39
Rodial is such a brilliant brand, and I’m thrilled that we’ve got a full size bottle of this luxurious product in this month’s box, worth an impressive £39 on its own. It’ll last for ages, can be used morning and night, and really gets skin looking fresh and glowing.
The benefits:
- Boosts skin’s radiance and evens tone while refreshing the complexion
- Brightens, smooths and reduces the appearance of fine lines, whilst firming and toning the skin
- Restores the skin’s moisture levels and renews the skin’s radiance
How to use:
Gently massage into damp skin, avoiding the delicate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
3ina No-Rules Stick in the shade 362
5g full-size, RRP £15
I travel a lot so I love a multi-purpose product for saving space (and weight) in my bag, and this three-in-one stick is perfect. It feels so creamy on the skin and blends in super-easily, and this shade is so pretty on everyone. A new make-up must-have!
The benefits:
- Multitasking stick that serves as a lipstick, blush and an eyeshadow
- Hydrating hyaluronic acid-rich formula is silky smooth for easy application and blending
- Classic soft pink for healthy looking, buildable flush of colour
How to use:
Apply directly to your face or dab your fingers onto the product and glide it over your skin. Build up for maximum colour.
Sensory Retreats Sparkle Eyes Self-Heating Eye Mask in the scent Chamomile
One mask, RRP £3.95
If you haven’t tried one of these warm eye masks before, you’re in for a real treat – and perhaps a bit of a surprise too, as they cleverly heat up by themselves as soon as you open the pack. They’re a lovely treat at this time of year to help you to relax if you’re feeling a bit frazzled.
The benefits:
- Self-heating mask soothes tired and screen-weary eyes
- The calming scent of chamomile melts away stresses and worries
- Perfect for frequent readers and contact lens wearers to relieve strains
How to use:
Open the packet and hook the mask around your ears and over your eyes – it will immediately begin to heat up. Keep it on until the heat fades (or as long as you like!).
Commodity Fragrances Milk Expressive
5ml travel-size, RRP £20
Gourmand scents are a huge perfume trend at the moment, and I’m obsessed with warm, comforting ‘skin scents’ such as this one. Those of you with well-tuned noses will be able to detect notes of sweet marshmallow, nutty toasted sesame and creamy tonka bean, as well as its namesake, a cold milk accord. It’s utterly additive without ever being overpowering, and this little bottle is perfect for popping in your handbag.
The benefits:
- Rich notes of marshmallow, mahogany and tonka bean
- Fragrance notes evolve throughout your wear
- Warm, sweet and slightly nutty
How to use:
Spritz onto your wrists, inner elbows, behind your ears, and any pulse points for a longer-lasting scent to be enjoyed all day.
Inside the box, you’ll also receive a voucher for two copies of OK! Magazine, bringing you all the latest beauty, fashion, and lifestyle trends each week.
