Net-A-Porter's one of my favourite online places to shop. ^_^ I've always had good experience with them, and returning or exchanging goods is a breeze. *knocks on wood* As soon as I got an email about their latest Beauty Box - I had to check it out. I liked what I saw and I'm a sucker for good value beauty sets. I'm most excited to try something as luxe as this because it's a great way to try new products without having to commit and invest in individual, full-sized products. Although, I'm very happy to find that three of the seven products in the box are full-size! Woot! So I added the beauty box to cart along with a couple of products from RMS - a brand which I've been keen to try for some time. :) The package arrived super quickly via DHL and it was only AU$10 (to Australia)! Gotta love that!

The packaging is just divine. All their packages come boxed like this (unless you specifically request not to have it at checkout) - see photo above. However, the Beauty Box also came in the same packaging (but slightly smaller), so I ended up having two of the black, ribboned boxes (i.e. a box within a box)!
Let's start with the Beauty Box. Here's what Net-A-Porter have to say about it...
Let's start with the Beauty Box. Here's what Net-A-Porter have to say about it...
"EXCLUSIVE TO NET-A-PORTER.COM. NET-A-PORTER has curated a selection of our favourite summer essentials to bring you this limited-edition beauty box. This set includes seven must-have luxury products– all perfectly sized for travel - that will keep you looking and feeling your best on a holiday or last-minute getaway. Quantities are limited."
Let's unbox and take a look at what's inside!
So, inside the larger, black box is the Beauty Box and my two new RMS products packaged well in a clear plastic, zip-locked bag that's lined with bubble wrap.
Below is the little card with details about the Beauty Box contents.
A "universally flattering peach shade" (kinda reminds me of Nars' Orgasm with the shimmers in it too!), Hourglass' satin-smooth Extreme Sheen High Shine Lip Gloss in Lush deeply hydrates to prevent cracking and chapping (full sized 5g / 0.17oz. - RRP US$28 / AU$42)
Ren Skincare's Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil (travel sized 30ml / 1.02fl.oz.)
Kahina Giving Beauty's 'Fez' Body Serum to "nourish dry, tired skin with responsibly sourced Argan Oil and Vitamin E" (travel sized 15ml / 0.5fl.oz.)
SACHAJUAN's Hair Repair formulated with Ocean Silk Technology - a unique blend of Sea Algae-derived proteins and minerals (travel sized 100ml / 3.4fl.oz. - RRP US$16) - designed to "intensively condition stressed and damaged strands".
Verso's retinol 8-infused Day Cream (full sized 50ml / 1.69fl.oz. - RRP US$100 / AU$134!!!)
Below is the little card with details about the Beauty Box contents.
Everything in the Beauty Box is also packaged securely in a similar but much larger, clear, bubble-wrapped bag.
A couple of the Beauty Box items below were bagged individually.
Ta-da! Here they all are... ^_^
So pictured above from left to right, we have the following Beauty Box products...
Rahua's Ungurahua Oil-enriched Voluminous Shampoo & Conditioner Set (travel sizes of 2 x 60ml / 2fl.oz.) These are meant to add weightless moisture, body and bounce to your hair. Just what I need! *fingers crossed*
Eyeko + Alexa Chung's 'Eye Do' Liquid Eyeliner in waterproof Carbon Black (full sized 0.8ml / 0.03oz. - RRP US$19 / AU$27.95). Hoping this will give my eyes the perfect feline flick ala Alexa Chung style. ;)

Below are photos of the products with respect to my slightly smaller than average hand - just to give you more of an idea of the sizes.
Hourglass Extreme Sheen Lip Gloss in 'Lush' + Swatches

I agree, this is definitely universally flattering. This will definitely join my easy, every-day wear lip gloss collection...so into the makeup-bag it goes! ^_^
One more to show the glossiness factor. :)
RMS Beauty Product Purchases
Now for the RMS beauty products which I purchased in addition to the Beauty Box... RMS is an organic makeup line. I purchased one of their most loved products - a highlighter called the 'Living Luminizer' (this is one of the key products used on J.Crew models - I love their makeup, and who doesn't want that "J.Crew Model Glow"?!). I also picked up their Lip Shine in a gorgeous pink shade called 'Sublime'. I cannot wait to try these! >_<
I highly recommend the Beauty Box!!! It's an amazing value for money set full of the ultimate luxe beauty products - three of which are full-sized and the rest are decent travel sizes! All for only AU$50!!! Oh-em-gee!!! I'm tempted to get another! *sigh* It's limited edition as mentioned, so be sure not to miss out.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my "haul reveal" and unboxing beauty box post! I'm SUPER excited to try everything here...and share my thoughts of some of them with you.
It's FRIDAY tomorrow!! WOOHOO! ^_^
Thanks for stopping by! ^_^ xo
