hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's unboxing is the cohorted beauty box for
may 2022 this is the uk cohorted box and it's in collaboration with wunderbusy so i'm going
to unbox it for you i'm going to try out all the products i will tell you how much each individual
item is worth what it is what it does and what my first impressions of it are and also i'll
say how much the whole box is worth as well so i reached out to cohorted and asked if i could unbox
a box for them so they kindly sent this to me so i'm super grateful for that but as usual
you will get my honest opinions a lot of things i buy myself and it's important to me whether
it's sent to me or i'm buying it then i'm giving you my honest opinion because you may go on to
purchase it so i think it's quite an important thing and i'm just you know your average normal
full-time working person so you know i'm no influencer i'd just like to give my honest
opinions so like i said i'm gonna box it for you now so cohorted is brand new to me it's been sort
of in the uk for a while now and i've just never got around to really checking out which is a bit
odd because i unbox a lot of beauty boxes i don't know why i've not looked into it before but anyway
it retails at 39.99 and that includes free uk delivery which is tracked and sent via royal mail
and all of the products inside are always worth way more than you pay for them
they're always full sizes by the looks of it and they are from some really big brands so i've used
a few things from wunderbeauty before but already there's a couple of items in here that i have
i'm just loving already and i've only just started using the products so let's dive right in and let
me tell you about everything that's in this box so when you slide off the slip cover it looks
like this from what i can make out about cohorted sometimes they will have a box that's
all one brand so last month i think it was fresh other times it will be like a multi-brand box
so like i said hopefully this will be useful and then you can kind of see what's coming
in the mailbox and whether it's of interest to you so it's really nice inside it's like
this black um thick kind of paper and it says cohorted on it and it's got all kind of black um
shredded bits to protect all of your products inside like i said i've already been using
the product so i've got them out already and we're going to talk through them one by one
so let's dive right in so the first products in here and it is a product i've used before
it's the wonder beauty baggage claim gold eye masks now i have used these before and they are
really good they are probably one of the products that wonder beauty are most known for i would say
and so it says individually packaged gold foil eye masks you can also buy them in like a rosy pink
help to nourish dull tired looking skin experience three nourishing layers of luxury the gold foil
helps to retain heat and prevents evaporation allowing the maximum amount of serum to hydrate
skin the middle layer is elastic allowing the masks to adhere better to skin and the third is
a cellulose fiber that condenses and delivers key ingredients efficiently giving you all the skin
loving benefits you need and wonder beauty it's an american brand all the products are cruelty free
and the ingredients in these are particularly good as well and i noticed that when i used
them previously because i've used this quite a lot the second ingredient is glycerin so it's a real
moisture boost i find these masks are great before you go in with the rest of your skincare they just
seem to kind of blur out your fine lines a little bit give it that sort of hit of moisture because
i find if i get a little bit of extra moisture around my eyes that when i then go on to put like
concealer and makeup on everything just sits a lot better it looks a lot better so it is a good kind
of first step obviously you're not going to use them every day that would cost you too much money
and but they are really nice when you do want to use them so it also contains aloe leaf juice
cannula extract and camu camu extract and they look pretty cool because like gold and yeah
they sit well as well so they are really nice eye masks usually you would buy them in a pack of six
but a pair one pair is worth around about four pounds based on what it costs you to buy full size
so you do just get one set of the eye masks in this box but all the rest of the things in here
more than make up for the fact that you only get one pair because there's some pretty impressive
stuff in here this is literally like an entire skincare routine so you get this box and your
skincare routine is pretty much taken care of it's got most of the things you would need anyway for a
skincare routine so the first thing is a cleanser and it is the drift away cleanser it's 100 ml or
3.38 ounces as i said full size as are all of the products here this is what the packaging
looks like it's got like a pump style dispenser so it just looks like a gel and the idea is that you
massage this into the skin i usually massage a cleanser in for around about a minute just
to make sure that i'm really kind of getting in everywhere and you can see here i've got a little
bit of moisture on the back of my hands a little bit of water so it just kind of starts to sort of
cream up a little bit really so it's really pleasant when you're moving it around your face
it feels nice and you can add a little bit of water if you want a bit of kind of extra
emulsification and this retails at 31 pounds you can purchase it at netapote call beauty seller
and a lot of other sort of hook group brands like look fantastic and stuff have it as well so it is
pretty readily available if you just want to get the cleanser but then the box is 40 pounds this
retails at 31 everything else is pretty much free so if you're gonna consider it you might
as well just get the whole box so this contains coconut water kelp guava extract and acai extract
makeup and impurities gently drift away with this transforming cleanser powered by ingredients of
the sea this gel to foam cleanser gives a double cleansed effect to nourish and revitalize with one
step apply one pump to the skin and massage until makeup and impurities fully dissolve rinse with
warm water can be used daily morning and night it's nice doesn't feel like it strips the skin it
does take makeup off it takes spf off and it feels like it's giving your skin a really good cleanse
really really impressed with this cleanser i use a lot of cleansers if you've watched my videos
for a while cleansers are like my favorite type of product so i try pretty much any cleanser i
can get my hands on because i just enjoy the experience and this one is actually really
really nice so i'm very impressed and so that was the first step obviously in my routine next
up is another wonder beauty product of course because they're all wonder beauty products this
is the sight see er spell the letter c here vitamin c concentrate it's 30 ml 1.01
fluid ounce again obviously full size this gets really good reviews and regularly sells out a lot
of the products from wonder beauty have won a lot of awards like i said you don't tend to hear about
them as much as other brands but actually do some really good stuff and all the packaging is like
pretty cool and sleek and it's another pom style applicator and it is completely airless
you can't like twist it to get any air in it's all completely sealed so they've really thought about
keeping the stability of the vitamin c as well the vitamin c retails at 35 pounds so here is
what it looks like it's like a kind of light creamy texture almost like a lotion or a really
fine serum but this you can see instantly i've literally just put that on my hand and you can
see it's already giving you that glow and kind of catching the light which is what we want
we want that glowy skin we want to look healthy and straight away this seems to do that so like
i said this is what i've used today and i do think it's giving me that little bit of a healthier kind
of glow so yeah really happy with it all so far it says minimum effort maximum results which is what
we all want because i don't know about you i'm lazy but i want my skin to look good see it and
believe it with sightseeing vitamin c concentrate infused with our multitasking 20 c suite complex
this potent antioxidant blend includes a highly stable form of vitamin c vitamin rich kakadu plum
extract seven molecular weights of hyaluronic acid plant derived squarely niacinamide and
vitamin e and i know my skin loves niacinamide and square line this lightweight formula works
into skin quickly leaving no sticky residue for hydrated more even toned firmer looking skin
things have never looked brighter and i must say i've layered the skincare so i'm going to show you
all the items in this box and they've all layered really nicely there hasn't been any like pilling
that you can get you know like when products don't necessarily work well together and they start to
kind of flake off and things nothing like that no stickiness everything just seems to have gone on
really nicely to be fair so it says to apply and gently massage a pea-sized amount into a clean
face and neck and follow with your preferred skincare routine use morning and night so
that's what i've done i've popped this on and next up we've got a face oil it's called the glow ahead
illuminating face oil this retails at 40 pounds so a penny more than the whole box
cost you and it's a 25 ml or not 0.84 ounces this is another one that's won awards regularly sells
out and people just seem to love this product so this is what the packaging looks like it's
got niacinamide and panthenol in it it says bring out skins inner radiance with our illuminating oil
light diffusing optics deliver instant luminosity while a potent blend of our signature beauty oils
and antioxidants help to brighten moisturize and improve the appearance of skin over time
castor and black currant seed oil help to restore skin's natural moisture balance niacinamide helps
even the skin tone and retain moisture gently squeeze the tube to release two to three drops of
glow ahead illuminating face oil onto fingertips massaging to skin until fully absorbed so this is
just like another layer of glow that we got going on so this is what it looks like it's got like um
a sort of plastic dropper style nozzle thing so this is like a kind of rosy pink color and as
well as having those really nice ingredients in there it has also got light reflecting particles
that do give you the glow without having like a shimmer look to your face because
you know you're not going to a festival every day sometimes you just want a healthy glow
so i think you can see already this is the hand i've been applying all the products to versus this
one it's definitely give me that kind of boost in radiance and i think you can see i'm pretty happy
with how i'm looking after i've applied all these products then we have our moisturizer so this is
the dive in moisturizer 50 ml or 1.69 ounces dive into 72 hours of moisture pentaverton and 15 fruit
extracts work to hydrate brighten and protect for healthier looking skin apply a pea-sized amount
onto clean face and gently massage can be used morning or night so this is in a squeezy tube
so it's a bit easier to not having to like put your hand in pots or anything are you it just
comes out you just put on as much as you need so it's quite a lightweight moisturizer i like that
it's not got anything heavy in it so for me i'm aware there are certain ingredients that cause
my skin to break out such as shea butter because i have like oily to combo skin so this doesn't
contain anything that's gonna cause me any issues so i'm very grateful for that but it's just really
lightweight sinks into the skin really nicely it feels it just feels really nice on the skin and
it feels almost lightly cooling even though it's not like been in the fridge or anything
just a really really nice one all of the products have almost got a really light scent to them but
i don't necessarily think it's an added scent it doesn't smell like an added scent it just
seems to have a nice almost like freshness type scent to them so nothing like rose or too sort of
potent just a nice hint of scent that you can only smell if you really you know go down and
try and smell your face or your hand or wherever you put the product the moisturizer retails at
35 pounds and then last but most definitely not least is the product i'm wearing on my lips
so this is the lip retreat oil it's 10 ml or 0.33 fluid ounce and the shade we've got is excursion
this is what the packaging looks like i wasn't sure about it when it first came i must confess
because if you look at the color it looks super dark and i was thinking it was going to be
like a really dark lipstick but actually it's very much a light oil now i've gone over it with a few
kind of coats so it's got that real kind of color payoff but you can put it on much lighter if you
don't want as much of the color the applicator is really nice as well so you can see here i've
kind of pressed on there's a lot more products here at the top whereas at the bottom it's more
of like a sheer kind of wash if you see what i mean but you can apply it on either side using
either side of the applicator you can build it up like i said if you want more kind of color payoff
or you can just have it as like a light wash of color but it feels so nice on the lips it's really
moisturizing it's not sticky now it's not transfer proof obviously it has got that kind of gloss
look to it so it would kind of transfer if you put like a mask on if you were drinking something
or things like that but it doesn't go like patchy or anything it just seems to leave a nice kind of
hint of color behind and it feels moisturizing so it definitely feels more like a lip balm than like
a lipstick that's like you know potentially making your lips feel dry it doesn't feel like that at
all and my lips look quite nice after i've worn the product so yeah it's it's doing a lot of good
really like it retails at 21 pounds you get it in lots of different shades but like i said we've got
this particular color and actually i'm really quite impressed i really like it so it says a
luxurious lip loving treatment oil with a shine of a gloss rosa carina fruit oil contains unsaturated
essential fatty acids for healthier looking lips apricot kernel and avocado oil firm and deeply
moisturized lips really nice so first impressions i cannot believe i haven't tried more from wonder
beauty before like i've tried a couple of bits i liked them but never really explored the kind of
skincare side of the brand i'm really impressed i really am i mean like i said i keep going on
about it but i do feel like my face has just got a little bit more of a glow today feels a little
bit healthier my skin's been playing up a lot recently so it's nice to put some products on
and feel like i feel happy with my skin if you know what i mean i do think the box is incredible
value it's worth 166 pounds this month so you know way above and beyond what we would pay for the box
so my first impressions are really good like i said i like the fact that instead of just having
a load of random products it's like a curated collection you've got your cleanser you've got
your serum your vitamin c serum you've got your face oil you've got your moisturizer
you've got some under eye mask and you've got this lovely lip treatment i actually think this would
be like a really good dupe for the hourglass lip oil which is more than twice the price so
i would actually buy more of these because i'm that impressed with the formulation and stuff so
i really like it i'm really impressed the cohorted box is 100 recyclable as well so you can kind of
do your bit for the planet once you've um opened all your goodies and stuff but yeah
it is a subscription box obviously you can cancel at any time if you just like the one box i think
you can buy one-off boxes as well i will link everything underneath as well some of the links

get a small commission for referring you it really helps to support the channel it helps to keep me

cohorted cult magazine so they have gone to an online um kind of brochure thing so you scan the
qr code and it brings it up on your phone all the information about the product so you don't need
like a leaflet or what have you so you'll get that in your box as well if you do get this box
