hey guys welcome to planning with crystals today's video is an unboxing of the latest cult
beauty edit so it's the cult conscious edit it retails for just 30 pounds and is worth 155 pounds
as usual i bought it myself we're gonna unbox it talk about the products inside
and hopefully it'll help you to decide whether this is a box worth picking up for you
so it is just a little kind of slip cover and then the box inside is black they've been white
just recently anyway it's an observation so it's just like a pretty well structured hard cardboard
box so of course it is called the cult conscious edit it says hand-picked by our expert buying team
pacquiao beauty stash with these hard-working heroes each formula boasts coveted proof points
from carbon offset into vegan ingredients you'll also find a handy recycled meaty bag inside so
you can easily recycle your empties let the spring clean begin it's also a qr code on the back so you
can learn a little bit more about all the products inside and it also explains how to use the recycle
bag so let's dive right in so the first thing i see in here is a sheet mask and it's by decree
now i've used the sheet mask before it is very good it is also very expensive so
this sheet mask you can buy them individually like this they retail at 20 pounds for one one-time use
sheet mask but it is pretty good i mean in all honesty no matter how fantastic the sheet mask
the results are only going to be temporary it's not going to be like a long-term fix but it can
be nice especially before like an event or something where you kind of want to look your
best so it says develop to work in synergy with your daily or weekly decree or as a standalone
sos mask this carefully formulated biocellulose mask is enriched with our signature rose extract
reparative and brightening antioxidants deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid and silk amino acids
to repair and restore skin barriers and comfort even the most sensitive of skin types so it says
it's perfect for rejuvenating the skin when it just needs a little bit of extra tlc i think i'm
gonna keep one of these and if i'm lucky enough to go on a plane this year it's the sort of thing
i would wear i have used it before like i said i actually used it when i was having a real kind of
red itchy reaction and my skin was just not happy and it did seem to calm it down it's
not a miracle worker but it did seem to help did seem to calm it down and definitely didn't cause
any more irritation or anything like that the ingredients of this are really nice so the first
ingredient isn't water it's actually rosa damasina flower water then glycerin thyme niacinamide then
aloe vera so it's just really really nice comforting ingredients it's a 35 gram mask
or 1.18 fluid ounce so there's quite a lot of serum left in there as usual with the sheet mask
once you've used it get the rest of the serum out and apply it to your skin once you've taken
the mask off take it down your neck decolletage get like the full benefit from it next up in here
kind of a low value because it's an ordinary product or the ordinary product but it's my
favorite order the ordinary product it's one of my favorite products and it's by far the cheapest
in my routine it is the ordinary niacinamide 10 and zinc 1 high strength vitamin and mineral
blemish formula 30 ml or a fluid ounce so it retails at 560. i've mentioned this before in my
favorites videos it's one i will never be without i usually buy the bigger 60 ml bottle now but
i still do it in 30ml so it is just a clear serum i think i originally got it in my cult
beauty advent calendar if i'm not mistaken one of you guys um gave me a bit of a tip to just use a
couple of drops because otherwise apparently it can make you face a bit sort of sticky and tacky
so i just used two drops all over my face and it really helps calm breakouts and things down and
sort of resurfaces the skin and it's just amazing and it's five pounds sixty so it's an absolutely
spectacular product if you haven't tried it and you ever suffer from any kind of breakouts
you need to try this so i find it keeps breakouts at bay and if i do still get some kind of breakout
i can put this on and it kind of calms things down and it's just awesome brilliant brilliant
brilliant product then a product that's new to me but i've read so many great things i'm dying to
try it it is by fable and maine and it is called the ritual so essentially it is a strengthening
hair oil for healthy hair now this is a travel size you have to buy it in this size and the size
is 0.48 fluid ounces or 14.4 mil stronger hair begins with healthy roots so the idea with this
is you massage at least one drop of the oil into your roots and hair leave it on for at least five
minutes or overnight for best results so it's like a pre shampoo treatment so best bet is to section
off your hair apply it to your scalp give yourself a nice scalp massage sleep in it overnight if you
can do that and then wash it off in the morning for sort of best results but it is in a little
dropper style bottle like this it's like a clear oil it's got a nice scent to it like a
almost like a perfumey type scent to me i don't know what that scent is but it's rather nice
it has got yeah it has got fragrance in it so it's also got safflower seed oil in there
jojoba seed oil castor seed oil licorice root olive fruit oil grape seed oil and lots of other
lovely ingredients wisdom from india made in the usa so in that size it's worth 14 pounds
but there should be plenty of product there to see if it works for you especially if you only need a
dropper at a time it should last ages even in that tiny size so i'm really excited to give that a try
next up we have got a body care product by coco and eve this is the glow figure barley buffing
sugar lychee and dragon fruit scent and it's a 60 ml or 2.1 fluid ounce size so another travel size
and it says this exfoliating buffing sugar helps to deliver the smooth supple skin you've been
dreaming of without stripping away natural oils or leaving a sticky residue coconut sugar and shell
powder buff away dead skin cells to help even skin tone and texture tackle imperfections and
help prep the skin for tan so it's a good option for summer i guess i'm definitely
doing more and more exfoliation as summer gets nearer this is what it looks like
as usual quite fun packaging it smells really lovely and fruity and it's a gorgeous bright pink
color as well so i think they're quite fun to use i was looking at this in selfridges just the other
day in fact so i'm happy to have it give it a go next up a full size cleanser from honest beauty
you know i love a cleanser this is the gentle gel cleanser for all skin types 150 ml or half of a
fluid ounce it's also vegan and dermatologically tested so it's in a pump style bottle like this
it's got some nice little flowers on it apparently it smells like ginger let's have a smell yes i can
confirm it's got a light ginger scent now i love ginger so that's not an issue for me
it could be an issue if you don't like ginger love the fact that it's a full size reviews on this
are pretty good i mean obviously there's the odd one that isn't but for the vast majority of people
say it's a really good cleanser so it's one that you're going to lather between your hands and
massage onto a wet face so i guess you're gonna have damp hands damp face massage it together get
a nice little bit of foam going and then apply it to the face i definitely find there's a lot
of foaming cleansers that are no longer stripping so hopefully this is one of them so it is a full
size and it retails for 18 pounds over on the colts beauty website so i've used a few makeup
type products from honest beauty and i've really liked them so i'm excited to try some skincare and
see what this cleanser's like then we have got a super fancy mascara and it's from a new i think
it's a new brand or it's certainly a new brand to me the brand is la bosch rouge which is from paris
this is li seram noir mascara 99 natural ingredients now this is expensive it's a full size
which is 36 pounds and apparently the formulation of this mascara is that it is more than just a
mascara it also has ingredients in here that are going to help your lashes stay strong and grow
a little bit and all that kind of stuff it's in a glass packaging as well so i believe this
is the first mascara to be in completely glass packaging well i've certainly never seen it before
so it looks super sleek and fancy it definitely would look nice on the nightstand wouldn't it
and people have said about this that it's one of those mascaras if you've already got a lot
of lashes or if you just want to sort of separate them have a natural look it's a really good one i
don't think this is one that's going to give you kind of super thick lashes it's more of a natural
day look but it's going to condition it's going to make sure that your lashes don't clump together
and it's going to feel nice throughout the day like you've not got that weight that you sometimes
get with mascara and it is in this nice heavy uh packaging this packaging just feels so kind of
nice and tactile and like i don't know a little bit different a little bit fun so i'm happy to
have it 36 pounds this is worth now i certainly wouldn't spend 36 pounds on a new launch from a
brand i'm not familiar with so that's why i like getting things like this in the boxes
because sometimes you discover like this amazing new product you would never have discovered
discovered otherwise it's also vegan and cruelty free so it's 6 grams or 0.21 ounce then we've got
a travel size product from pie it is the rose hip bio regenerate facial oil it's vegan it's leaping
bunny certified soil association organic add two to three drops to damp skin so this apparently has
been devised for people with sensitive reactive skin to kind of bring it a little bit of balance
again mixed reviews with this so people tend to love it but they don't like the scent
yeah i kind of get it it does smell a little bit like a kind of hot dogs or something i think it's
just because they haven't added any fragrance to it so i can get over the scent of products
if i really like the results but it is like a light kind of orange shaded um
product almost the scent reminds me very much of drunk elephants see firm a day serum it's that
kind of scent so it's the natural scent of the product within without adding any fragrance which
personally i'd rather it smells funny than has has like fragrance added that irritates your skin
anyway i'm intrigued to use this i've never used it but it is one of those products that's like
always around on the horizon people are always kind of talking about it and stuff
so i'm intrigued how it performs so in this 10 mil size it retails at 16 pounds
and apparently because you only need a few drops it should last ages even in this teeny tiny size
so it's also not 0.3 fluid ounces and the expiry date on this is march 2024 i didn't know they had
expiry dates on oils but i guess it makes sense next up we've got a product from alpha h this is
the generation glow daily resurfacing essence with five percent aha complex 30 ml or 1.01 fluid ounce
so essences definitely recommend i have been using the most incredible essence ever from
tatcha super expensive but worth every penny just incredible um so i definitely rate essences now
i'm less sure about the formulation of this just because it's got the ahas in there so
if you use like a kind of toner or you use a skin acid to resurface i guess you can replace it with
this essence however for me i use the essence all the time like morning and night regardless
of how my skin is and i obviously wouldn't use this if my skin was being a bit reactive so that
would kind of put me off and i've used alpha h products before and i find them to be quite skin
irritating and from research i've done on this product this is another one of those that people
have reacted to now it's not everyone you may be able to use this range and not have any issues
at all but for me i'd kind of give it a wide berth because of what i've read and what i've researched
about it but yeah i mean it says to gently press essence into your face neck and decolletage follow
with your preferred serums or moisturizer and spf for daytime use it says for sensitive skin on new
acid users always do a patch test before and slowly introduce the essence into your routine
three to four times a week so it's in a little bottle like this where you just like undo the top
and pour it out and it's got a big old lid on it so when i first saw there was an essence
because i really enjoy essences i was really excited but like i said it's kind of put me
off everything i've read about it because maybe i'll do a patch test and just see how i get on
but just makes me a little bit nervous so this is a female founded brand made in australia so it is
a sample size it's worth 16 pounds 50. so it's a sample because you can't buy it in this size
they don't like do a travel size version but it's a good opportunity to use it rather than getting
the full size especially if you're worried that your skin might react to it so there is
an explanation here on how to use this recycling bag and it tells you what they can and can't put
in there and it's got like a prepaid pre-printed thing on the front so you can just post your used
items so they can be recycled so that's great and then the final product in here is another
kind of full size you can buy in this size it is the lariat king good life for your hair shampoo
refill so with his products he always tends to say that this size in the squeezy tube
is a refill even though it's 180 ml or 6.1 fluid ounces and that's because he does like a big 300
ml bottle of shampoo and then you use this to like refill it but it's actually kind of like
a full size it's like a weird one but anyway this gets really good reviews really looking forward to
using this because it says it helps to prevent color fade which is something i'm always quite
conscious of dyeing my hair this color and it's also got vitamin b5 natural amino acids and green
tea extracts in there it's set like a multivitamin for your hair our good life shampoo will leave
your hair feeling renewed and refreshed like it's been on a yoga retreat in bali for a week and is
back feeling healthy and revitalized it nourishes hydrates and strengthens the hair helps to provide
uv protection and prevent colour fading it's perfect to use midweek when your hair is looking
a little dull tired and lackluster and needs a little hump day pick-me-up so yeah i'm excited
about this it is also vegan and made in the uk as well and retails at 21 pounds quite a good value
as well so i like this kit i mean it's a little bit random there's a bit of hair stuff in here
we've got like facial oil we've got a serum we've got a mask we've got a body scrub so there isn't
any makeup it is all skincare body care haircare i think it's a nice little connect collection and
i think for 30 pounds as well it's kind of worth the gamble for the products that you get inside
because i think you will definitely get at least 30 pounds value out of it i think i'll get a lot
more actually so i think you'll get from my review so far that some of the products i'm more excited
about than others some i already love but yeah it is a recommendation from me these edits always
are unless they're really terrible and i really don't like any of the products they're generally
something i'd recommend picking up because of the value and the brands and stuff they include
so at the time i'm making the video it is still available and i will link it underneath if
you do want to pick it up let me know in the comments what you think of this edit did you
