It's that time again, time for another Cohorted* unboxing and review! I just love that this box is always focused on luxury high end products and for only £35 per month you can't really go wrong. So anyway, let't cut to the chase and get on with the products inside the August box.
The Contents
Chirp Body Softness Hair Mask | £18.00
Now, when I first saw this I wasn't sure it was going to work for me. I've tried an oil based hair mask before and it just made my hair so greasy - to be fair it was just coconut oil and I didn't wash it out properly oops. Another reason I was a little bit scared was because it says you need to wash it twice with your shampoo. Anyway, I tried this out, from root to ends, as instructed, and washed it out three times just to be sure (because I didn't want my hair to be greasy) and oh my god, when my hair was finally dry it was SO SOFT. I'm actually so impressed with this hair mask and it 100% lives up to its name so I'm excited to get some more use out of this little gem. PS, it's also 100% cruelty free.
Too Faced Born This Way Concealer in Light Medium | £20.00
Oh man, I was so excited when I saw this because I'm obsessed with Too Faced products. I'm a concealer addict and I love the Born This Way foundation so I knew I'd love this. The only problem is the shade is a little darker than what I go for but because it's a very medium coverage concealer it does blend out well so I can still make this work with my skin tone. In all fairness, I do like to wear a foundation which is slightly darker than I actually am and I can't help but love this concealer as it has a lovely radiant finish.
Mac False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara | Sample Size
I've used up quite a few of these little samples before as I enjoy making myself poor by ordering makeup so naturally these have been sent with Mac orders in the past. They're great for popping into your makeup travel bag, if you're staying round a friends house or just popping in your hand bag as you never know when you might need it.
Apple & Bears Bergamot & Green Tea Body Wash | 50ml Sample Size
I was a little bit disappointed that this was only a sample/travel size product as I love a new body wash and I do really like the scent of this one - it's not overpowering and smells very fancy. I suppose it is quite handy for travelling and the bottle is quite cute but definitely would have preferred a full sized bottle of this to get some real use out of it!
Paul Yacomine Huile De Parfum 100ml | £28.00
And last but not least, this is an organic essential oil for hair, face and body which is said to repair, soften and nourish. As my skin is quite oily I don't like adding extra oil to my face but this is brilliant on my hair and body. I've used this a few times and it's pretty damn good at making my hair look sleeker/less frizzy and where I've been using it on my legs, they definitely feel softer. The scent is quite subtle and fruity/floral which is perfect as summer draws to a close (but I can see myself using this all the way through autumn and winter).
So, what's the verdict? This month's box value totalled to £81.00, and when you're paying £35 per box is amazing! I have to say, it would have been lovely if the sample sized products were a little bit bigger as even though I know I'll use them, it won't be long before they're finished. I have loved the August box and I'd say it's definitely more geared up for pampering yourself instead of new beauty finds but who doesn't love a good pamper?! I love finding new luxury brands that I wouldn't have found before so I hope you've enjoyed reading.
Also, if you wanted to pick one of these up for yourself you can use the code 'COHORTEDGIFTME' for a free Laura Mercia Crème Smooth Lip Colour (in shade 'Maya') with all new subscriptions.
