The sun was out for half an hour, and now it’s raining. Welcome to the British summer, 2019 release. I tell you what we need right now lads is a box of lovely things to distract us from this mess.
The Latest in Beauty Summer 2019 beauty box is subtitled The Beauty Heroes. It’s a selection of skincare and make up designed to work hard both at home and away. If you can find some summer sunshine, that is.
This is a well-stuffed holiday in a box, with 13 sunshiny products inside. Seven of those are full size, and the total value is around £130 against a box RRP of £30. Bargain.

Box highlights
The stand out product for me here is the Solar Sun Oil. It smells so summery, it’s a holiday mood without leaving the house. The St Tropez gradual tanner also has a lovely fresh scent and is great for building up a light glow (rather than baked orange).
I really like the Sumita eyeliner too. I’ve not heard of this brand before, but the eyeliner glides on and stays put. If you were feeling generous this would make a good gift in its gold box.
Everything in here is practical without being boring. My only quibble would be that I’m surprised there’s no facial SPF, but then you do wear that all year round now, don’t you? All in all it’s great value and fun to explore whether you’re off on your hols or trapped indoors in the rain. Bon voyage!
