Latest in Beauty are smashing beauty boxes out of the park at the moment and hot on the tail of the Grazia Best of Beauty Edit comes a special collaboration with Sainsbury's. For the first time ever, LIB have partnered with Sainsbury's for their 2019 Beauty Awards. The box worth £90 features 14 award nominated products including nine full size products.
The best bit? The Sainsbury's Beauty Awards Box can be yours for £25!
I've managed to get my beauty loving hands on one of the boxes so I'm going to show you through the products and tell you which ones I'm most looking forward to trying.

Muru Muru Butter and Rose Blooming Colour Shampoo & Conditioner is said to be brilliant for coloured hair. The formula is made from Amazonian Muru Muru butter which helps to nourish hair while the Bulgarian rose petals moisturise and help keep a shine to hair. I've actually been using one of the shower gels from Love Beauty & Planet that I bought recently so I'm intrigued to try more of the brand. I really want to try their facial scrub next.
There are four products from Beauty Pro within the Sainsbury's Beauty Awards two of which I've tried before. First up is the Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask which is brilliant for puffy and tired eyes. The intensive under eye treatment helps to minimise fine lines and wrinkles while injecting some nourishment into skin. I've used these a number of times and always keep a little pack at home.
The next product is the Avocado Infused Sheet Mask which is suitable for super sensitive skin. The avocado oil helps penetrate deep into the skin to hydrate, repair and smooth. Thirdly, Barber Pro has a brilliant range of products for men, the Face Putty Black Peel Off Mask loosens blackheads and cleanses deep into the pores. Arran has already had this one off me!
The final product from Beauty Pro within the awards is the Foot & Callus Peel which helps renew skin in probably the grimmest way possible! I've used these a few times and they're so brilliant but the peeling process isn't the nicest. The Beauty Pro ones are my favourite because they do such a good job at removing the skin gradually, so much so I have the ones from this box on my feet at the moment! If you need a foot refresh, definitely check these ones out.
The Garnier Organic range is one I haven't tried yet so I was excited to see the Organic Smooth & Glow Facial Oil in the box. You all know I love a facial oil and this one sounded fab! The oil helps to nourish and soften skin with a blend of organic lavandin, argan oil and vitamin E leaving you with a positively glowing complexion.
It's a really lovely consistency and one I think I'll be reaching for a lot.
Another oil blend featured within the box is the Vitamin C+ Skin Renew Cleansing Oil which promises to transform your cleansing routine. I've never used a cleansing oil preferring to just reach for a cream but after reading a little more about it I was eager to try. This particular one is lightweight and infused with vitamin C, olive, grapeseed and rosehip oils making it a real treat for skin. I'm a fan of Superfacialist already so I'm always up for trying more from them.
Keeping with a facial skincare theme, the next product is from Urban Veda. I've only tried their shower products so far but a drop of the Radiance Day Cream and my skin felt so lovely. This particular cream helps to soothe uncomfortable, tight and dry skin helping bring it back to life. It's infused with turmeric to really transform skin and give it the radiance injection it needs.
There's a little helping of L'Oreal within the beauty box with the Age Perfect Golden Age Rosy Radiant Eye Cream. This is advised for over 60's so I have passed this on to a family member. I thought this was a bit of peculiar inclusion because its target is quite specific. It would've been great to see something more universal included.
There's a little touch of makeup within the box from the Sainsbury's Boutique range which I never realised existed! The Illuminating Drops in shade pink help to add a natural, healthy glow to skin to light up the complexion. It's a really lovely product, the formula is light and I've loved using this on my cheekbones to a subtle touch of highlight.
This is my first product from Feather & Down. It's a brand I've wanted to try for sometime but just hadn't got round to so it was great to see The Sweet Dreams Pillow Spray included. I love pillow sprays, I find them really useful for encouraging a restful nights sleep. This one is a blend of lavender and chamomile to help aid a good nights sleep. I usually just spray over our pillows before settling down with a book. If you're struggling with sleep, these are a great way to encourage it.
There are two hair care brands included, one is HASK famed for its incredible Argan Oil. The Argan Oil Repair Deep Conditioner is loaded with Keratin and is brilliant for damaged or chemically treated hair. I've been using Argan oil on my hair for years and it's always the one thing that brings my hair back to life again.
The second product is from Happy Naturals, a range of hair chair costing as little as £2.50 and available at Sainsbury's. The Sleek & Smooth Plant Keratin & Plum Heat Protection Mist is what is included in the box and it's brilliant for fighting frizz if you want super sleek hair. The formula is a combination of coconut oil, plum oil and keratin which is THE perfect concoction for gorgeous looking hair. I've just started straightening my hair a little bit using this and it makes all the difference.
