If you love the idea of beauty boxes (as I myself and many of my readers do) but don't fancy entering into a monthly subscription or taking a chance on contents that may not be suitable for you and would therefore feel like a waste of money? If you fit that description, I have just the thing for you!
Enter the Elle Beauty Box in collaboration with Selfridges. The box will cost you £30 but contains £125 worth of high end products hand picked by Elle beauty director, Sophie.
Here are the products that made the cut and what Sophie has to say about them:-
Ciaté Cupcake Queen Nail Polish, 13.5ml
I'm always drawn to pink on my nails and red on my lips. I love the colour clash, and this bubblegum pink with blue undertones is pretty much perfect.

This is the BB of lip balms - since it is beautifying and balmy. Soothing, protective and the sheer milky sheen it leaves is simply chic. Use under or over lipstick to moisturise and protect or on its own for a subtle gloss.

Topshop Lipstick in Charmed
Red lips continue to be a strong look for a/w 2013, and a personal favourite, but this nourishing lipstick in brightest coral is a great way to add a daytime-appropriate twist to a modern classic.

I've yet to buy a Topshop lipstick and as someone who shy's away from red, this particular shade looks far more wearable, although I think I shall be investing based on the Perricone moisturiser alone. You also get a bumper copy of Elle magazine to keep you busy whilst you pamper!
Buy your limited edition box here but be quick, they won't be around for long!
Are you a fan of beauty boxes and will this one feed your addiction?
