Hands up who wants to try the best of the best when it comes to beauty? Well, now you can do exactly that because Latest in Beauty has teamed up with The Sunday Times Style to release two special edition boxes for a second year! The two boxes, the Sarah Jossel Edit and the India Knight Edit are available to purchase now and come absolutely chocker full of the best in beauty making it the perfect way to access tried and tested beauty for less.
Award-winning columnist India Knight is an authority on all things beauty and is known for testing and uncovering some of the very best products in the industry, it'll be her edit that I show you within this post.
Available to purchase for £48.00 and worth a huge £234, the limited edition edit curates some of the top products from her 2022 Sunday Times Style column and showcases a unique and exceptional lineup of makeup, body care, skincare and haircare.
Showcasing a unique lineup of hair and body care, skincare and fragrance, this edit includes ten beauty expert-approved products with eight full sizes, featuring brands like Biossance, Living Proof, Escentric Molecules, Soapsmith and more.
The £48 box cost is made up in just a few products too - the Living Proof Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo retails at £25.00 while the Biossance 100% Squalane Oil costs £25.00. There are some repeat brands/products from last year's edit such as the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer and Escentric Molecoles M+ 01 with Iris but if anything I think this reaffirms how cult the products are.
This is probably one of my favourite edits - there are only two brands I'm not familiar with in this box and that's Ruby Hammer and Soapsmith so I've really enjoyed diving in and getting to know each of the products more.
It's honestly such a great box!
I'm going to pick out five products from the box I'm most excited to try, let's have a quick run-through:
I'm a huge Weleda fan and I've been using Skin Food for longer than I can remember - the brand is famed for its best selling Skin Food which has since gone on to become lotions, creams and lip butters. The deeply replenishing, SOS treatment for dry, scaly, compromised skin that's in need of nutrition is the multiuse product that everyone should have in their beauty stash. I am so looking forward to try the body butter over the next few weeks.
I've spent a bit of time dabbling with Murad Skincare this year so I've been quite intrigued to try this particular product. I've found my skin has been quite dehydrated in recent weeks, I don't think the hotter weather helped so something like this is perfect for me. Murad's Clarifying Oil-Free Water Gel checks all the boxes for acne and oily-prone skin types. It hydrates, balances and calms for healthier-looking and clearer-looking skin - super light, absorbs well and feels lovely on skin.
Squalane is my faveeee product for beautifully hydrated skin and having used the Biossance Squalane and Rose Oil before, I know this works. This product celebrates their core ingredient by bottling up that oh so nourishing essential. This ultra-moisturising formula encourages the natural cell renewal processes within your skin while sealing in essential hydration for lasting softness. Designed to mimic squalene - a natural molecule present in our skin that diminishes over time - this moisturising ingredient comes from 100% plant-based, renewable sugarcane and enhances elasticity as well as protecting your skin.
This little number definitely deserves its place here - it's the best dry shampoo ever! It's made with fast-absorbing powders to soak up oil and sweat, which the brand's advanced powder removal system then easily eliminates for a fresh start. A helping of conditioning agents then adds softness, shine and manageability in between washes, while the refreshing spray neutralises odours and balances the scalp's sebum levels to keep your hair clean for longer.
The Latest in Beauty Sunday Times Style India Knight Edit is available to order now for £48.00 direct from the Latest in Beauty website. It's the perfect time to treat yourself to some of the hottest products available right now.
The big question - what is your favourite product from the box?
