hey guys welcome to planning with crystals today's unboxing is the good housekeeping
beauty icons box and this is such a good deal so many great products really excited to unbox
it with you today i bought it myself it cost 78 pounds it's currently on sale you do have to pay
pmp on top of that i think it was 3.95 in the uk we get 15 hero beauty products and the box
is worth in total 428 pounds in addition to the box as well we also get a free annual digital
subscription to good housekeeping uk so you do get the magazine subscription for free as well
so we're gonna jump right in because there's quite a bit to get through so this is just a slip
that's on it this is what it is on the front this box i shall be keeping because it is
such a pretty box look at this seriously this is this is winning prettiest box ever at the moment
and it's like um like a storage box material as in it's a little bit more substantial than like a
shoe box or something so it's perfect for keeping some of my beauty goodies in here comes with a
little leaflet like this and it's sort of sticking together with tissue paper i had a quick look so
i always like to make sure everything's there and what have you but it says beauty products
come and go but some of them permanent places in our bathroom shelves and in our makeup bags
in celebration of good housekeeping's 100th anniversary and our first ever beauty icons
awards we've created an edit of the products and brands that we'll still be using years from now
from old favorites to new discoveries we hope you'll find something here to love so i actually
bought it with one particular product in mind and i will show you which one that is when i
get to it but basically there's a product in here that individually would cost me more than
the box would cost so it was a no-brainer to pick it up the box is still available
at the time of making the video and i'll put a link underneath if you do want to get the box
if you use my link to purchase the box doesn't cost you any extra but it is a affiliated link
which means i'll get a small commission for referring you which really helps me to keep
making these videos and i really appreciate all of your support so if you want to support the channel
and you want to get yourself the box that is like the perfect way to do it so
we're going to dive right in we're going to talk about the products i'll tell you about what they
are what they do if i've got any opinions on the product if i've used them before and i'll tell you
how much each individual item is worth as well so let's dive right in so if you like that print the
first thing in here is by kath kidston which used to be one of my absolute favorite brands i still
really like some of the um prints and products and stuff this is a iconic looks eye mask it's a silky
satin hand wash only so it's not silk it's silky satin so it's like a silky type mask if i can get
in here so it's got that lovely print on the front and then the back is pinky so actually
if you didn't want for whatever reason it that way around you could wear it either way both work fine
all right then so the first thing i have got here so it is tiny but it's a super expensive brand
it's a really good product it's the seisler paris black rose cream mask instant use soothing
plumping brightening 10 ml or 0.33 fluid ounce usually we get these in the really kind of
high-end expensive beauty boxes and beauty bags like the really expensive goodie bags and stuff
you can get it says it's on every beauty bucket list a red carpet favorite for guaranteed glow
we wholeheartedly recommend this luscious face mask for velvety soft beautifully toned
skin so it's a really nice mask i like to use it's like an overnight mask so applying it at night and
then sleeping in it to get like the full benefits and your skin does look a little bit more kind of
plumped and like radiant the next morning so in that size it's actually worth 20 67 in the 10 ml
size so you can kind of see from that how much a full size is you know it's a good product anyway
the next product in here kind of appeals to me like a retro way because i used to use this as
a teenager it's probably a different version of it to be fair so it's by john frieda and it's the
frizz ease all in one original serum i iconic multitasker tame sprays protect from heat and
humidity and add shine now this is for medium to thick hair so i shall have to pass it off
to a friend who has got thick hair mine is very very fine i think i also use the fine version
of this when i was younger anyway this is what it looks like it is a full size and like i said
this brand and the frizzy's products were like the pinnacle of hair care when i was a teenager
a while ago now like 20 years ago now but honestly it was it was just like you were somebody that's
what everybody used it was just the coolest anyway for many this was the first product
to successfully tame curly or for his prone hair yeah now a best seller it's easy to forget it was
once a cult buy for those in the know i actually even know it was still a product to be honest
i don't know why i just haven't used it for such a long time so it's 50 mil and it's worth 8 pound in
that full size so pretty affordable if you want to repurchase it but it's a nice one to kind of
revisit like i said if you've not used it for many years next up and one of the most popular
products that i believe locks a tan cell it is the almand shower oil so it's um an almond shower oil
basically super super popular i'm not a huge fan because i don't really like almond as a smell but
it's a 75 mil travel size which is 2.5 fluid ounce i mean yeah it's a pretty luxurious smell actually
it's not just almond as a scent it doesn't smell like marzipan or anything but it's just that kind
of rich almond descent but yeah many people find this a very luxurious bathing kind of ritual you
can also pop it in the bath i guess if you want to use it's like bubble bath instead of shower oil
with one of the loveliest smells in beauty this sleek shower to oil milk is so much more than
a body wash we defy anyone not to feel happier after using it to be fair the scent is not as bad
as i thought someone's expecting a really kind of almond scent so maybe i will give it a try after
all next up we've got a product by y leader so this is skin food it's a 10 ml 0.34 fluid
ounce size this is one of those like cult products that you see all the beauty editors talking about
and i kind of can't believe i haven't tried it because some people rave about it
it says this miraculous cream works as well on the face as it does on the body it heals and nourishes
and it gives cheekbones a great gleam too so this is worth three pounds because it is only a travel
size but hopefully it should be enough to kind of try and see if you'd love it and i think the full
size is only about nine pounds or something so it's not super expensive if you do love
it next up a little combo from santro pay it's a center pay self tan looks whipped cream mousse and
the applicator mitt an elevated version of some trapeze brilliant tanning moves with the addition
of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide for softer skin when the colour fades away that sounds
really good i haven't used this for many years and i'm undergoing laser hair removal at the minute so
you can't use um self tan while you are going through that process unfortunately so it's not
something i can use anytime soon but if you have used this new version let me know what you think
it's 50 ml or 1.69 fluid ounce and it's worth 13.25 i assume that's for both now that mitt
used to retail at like five pound on its own but anyway next up and a product i love it's by
living proof it is their newest dry shampoo they do two dry shampoo versions i still can't decide
which one i like the best actually so they have an original dry shampoo which was always my favorite
favorite dry shampoo then they've got this newer version which is the advanced clean dry shampoo
actually cleans hair and adds softness and shine so people say this is better if you don't just
want dry shampoo if you want a bit of texture to your hair and it definitely gives you that it's
really really good so it's a 90 ml travel size it's as a super fine spray as a 10 second shampoo
and blow dry in a can hair feels freshly washed with no white residue or sticky feel we wouldn't
be without it and that is what i love about the living proof dry shampoo it does genuinely feel
like your hair has been cleaned not like you're just kind of sticking a load of dry shampoo
or like talc on it or something so it actually does a really good job it's a really nice kind
of texturing type spray as well if you do want to add that little bit of texture to your hair
it's just brilliant one of my absolute favorites i'm never without a can of this and the original
version as well incidentally but this is worth 13 pounds in this size next up we've got some
ceramide capsules these are from elizabeth arden and they are the advanced ceramide capsules
i think i got these in an advent calendar but never got around to using them so these are
little individual sort of pods with the serum in them the seven pods and these what the pods look
like so you just twist off and then dispense the serum into your hands and obviously apply it to
your face it'd be quite handy for travel actually because there's like a week's supply in here
it says ceramides the protective lipids that skin loses with age are having their moments in the sun
but arden has long given them a starring role in these innovative capsules and i'm sure the
capsules will be biodegradable afterwards as well and the preservative and fragrance
free clinical and dermatologically tested and it says discover what your skin needs for a visible
smoother firmer and youthful appearance this one-week supply is worth 10 pounds so a nice
way to give it a go seven days see what it does to your skin next up we've got a product from
caudalie this used to be my go-to serum it's actually a really nice serum so it's the
vino perfect complexion correcting radiant serum a best-selling french serum that delivers visibly
fresher looking skin by gently lightening dark spots and patches and preventing new ones from
forming we're huge fans so it's 10 mil or 0.3 fluid ounce and it's got a little pipette comes in
a proper little bottle and it's like this kind of milky serum but it does bring that kind of instant
glow and radiance to the skin and then over time it's clinically proven to improve the radiance and
appearance of your skin as well so it's a pretty good product and this 10 ml size is actually worth
16 pounds and 10 ml is a third of a full size of full size i think it's 30 mil so again quite a lot
of products couple of weeks worth of use to see if this is working out for you which is what's great
about these boxes next up this is full size this is worth 105 pounds just for this one full-sized
product it's by shishado and it's ultramoon power infusing concentrate 75 mil or 2.5 fluid ounce now
i've had this in a kind of mini version before like a travel version never have i ever received
a gift with a full sizing and it's super super heavy actually it's obviously an awful lot of
products in here it says from a brand that packs cutting edge technology into everything it does
but without skimping on sensorial appeal the silky fluid keeps skin happy healthy and hydrated it
says elevate skin's natural multi-defense power against signs of aging environmental factors and
daily stress such as dryness the technology helps to broaden skin's nutrient network and
feeds collagen's key components a renewed rush of power sends waves of strength through the skin
wrinkles are less noticeable skin becomes smoother more resilient and healthy looking with its
radiance recharged apply morning and evening after cleansing before moisturizing press the pump twice
to dispense the formula so if that sounds like your kind of thing or if you love this product you
need to get this box then we've got the emma hardy moringa cleansing balm so i have used this before
it's a nice cleansing balm i actually like the way it performs on the skin what i'm not a big fan of
is the scent the scent just doesn't do it for me so it'll be one i'll be passing on but it's
actually a really good cleansing balm i just can't get on board with the scent
it's made in britain though it is cruelty free and this is a 30 ml or 1.06 fluid ounces
it's worth 14 pounds in this size and it says this wonderful jasmine scented balm takes everything
off without leaving skin tight or dry i agree can be used as a face mask or body balm as well as a
luxurious cleanser i've never tried it as a body balm or face mask but i'm not a fan of the scent
of jasmine so that makes sense now i didn't know it was jasmine i'm not great at picking scents up
but i knew there was something about the scent i don't like that's why it's jasmine
not a jasmine fan next up we've got a product by it cosmetics it's their famous moisturizer it's
confidence in a cream transforming moisturizing super cream 7 ml or not 0.237 fluid ounce 100
of the people who tested this particular product said that their skin was soft
smooth and infused with moisture 97 said their skin looked and felt rejuvenated 94 said skin
felt younger and healthier and so it goes on so basically people think it's the best thing ever
according to those results and but it's quite a kind of thick whipped textured type cream
this is what it looks like i can't say as i've ever used it because it looks like the sort of
cream that would be a little bit thick for my skin type because i'm kind of oily combo and i think
this is probably more towards dry skin i will double check that before i use it but it has got
a super ceramide complex it's peptin infused it's got collagen hyaluronic acid antioxidant rich
colloidal oatmeal quick absorbing hypoallergenic and allergy tested so lots and lots of good things
there about it it says on the list it's a 15 mil worth 15 pounds but it's actually a 7 mil so i'll
have to double check and pop on the screen what the exact value of this is okay so the product i
got the box for is this little beauty this is the revitalash cosmetics revita lash advanced 3.5 mil
naught point one one eight fluid ounce it's an eyelash condition conditioner this is a three
month supply although i think mine's the one i've currently got i think i've had it for about six
months i probably shouldn't still be using it it's not causing me any issues and it's still going
so i use this once a day and i cannot tell you i've not got any mascara or anything on right now
but i cannot tell you how many more lashes i have how much longer my lashes are i don't wear
mascara as often sometimes i do but not very often it's just phenomenal it's the best formulation of
any eyelash serum i've ever used this one is clinically proven and oh my gosh does it work
so it looks like this got a little brush on it and you just go along your upper eyelash
line so like on top of your eyelid right down to the root just across it doesn't go in your
eye it doesn't go inside your eye or like inside your eyelid or anything daft like that follow the
instructions obviously but honestly it's fantastic so just put a little bit on each eye once a day in
the evening let it dry and oh my gosh it takes a while i think it took about two to three months
to start seeing the results but then when you see the results it's like oh my gosh and the woman who
does my eyebrows was like what have you done to your lashes and i was like i've used that serum
she was like you can tell because your lashes are just so yeah this is one of my favorite products
one of my favorite discoveries that i made in the last year or so since i've been using it
and i paid 110 pound for this so same size in this box this is why i got the box next up we've got a
product by aromatherapy associates it's the deep relaxed sleep mist restful and tranquil 10 ml or
0.34 fluid ounce so i do really like aromatherapy associates some other products can be quite pricey
although they have deals and stuff on obviously from time to time i have used this sleep mask
before this is a nice kind of travel size in a little glass bottle it's worth 18 pounds you can
buy it in this size 18 pounds it's worth it says a knockout pillow mist from an aromatherapy brand
that's never been bettered it's helped many through tough times and troubled nights and
is a firm favorite at gh it is very nice i do think it's a little bit pricey for a sleep mist
because you're only getting a small amount but you've got to enjoy it use it with your sleep mask
and yeah i'm sure you'll like that it smells gorgeous i mean it smells like sleep a little card
in here about that shadow products we've got as well a little qr code to scan and learn a bit more
and then the final item in here is by laura mercier it is the pure canvas primer blurring
silicone free i don't think i've used this particular one so the one that we often get
is a 10 ml size like this which is like a travel size but we usually get the hydrating one
not the blowing one and this will probably be better for my skin type i was never a big primer
girl but i've got into primer recently and i'm quite enjoying the benefits of it so the blurring
primer creates an instant mattifying filter visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines
pause and imperfections microalgae conditions the skin over time for improved look and texture
oh i look forward to using this and that sounds really good so yes that one definitely it sounds
like it's for me it says french makeup artist laura mercier made a glowing belly their base
a cornerstone of modern looks this is your first step for makeup that looks seamless and stays on
for longer i look forward to trying this out so it's worth seven pounds in this size again good
travel size but 10 mil is plenty of primer to use for probably at least 10 days if not longer so
it's a good one but yes i recommend this box of course i do i bought it myself with my own money
as i often do with lots of these boxes and yes i love it i recommend it if you haven't already
if these products appeal to you you need to get it because i'm actually surprised it's still in
stock i've had a lot of things going on in life and i've done a lot of unboxings and it's taken
me a while to get to this and yeah i'm amazed it's still around to be honest because i think it's a
fantastic deal so definitely check it out if it appeals to you like i said i'll drop a link and
everything underneath if you want to go check it out so i really hope you've enjoyed watching
