Cohorted is an online luxury beauty retailer. November is the launch of their first Beauty subscription box. The monthly beauty box costs £35 including postage and is currently available in the UK only. Many readers may consider £35 per month as far too pricey; however, the box contents are worth at least £85. Cohorted dispatches their beauty boxes between the 5th-10th of each month. Payments are taken one month in advance.
My box arrived on the 10th November which is a quick turnover, I was expecting the box to arrive later than this. Upon opening the brown outer packaging, I was greeted by a sleek, black box neatly tied with a black, voile ribbon. At this stage, I am extremely eager to find out what is inside and let me say I was not disappointed.
The first thing I see is the Cohorted booklet, which outlines each product inside the box and gives a detailed description and a retail price for each item.
I put the booklet to one side as I love surprises. Inside the box are 6 items! Yep six! The first thing that catches my eye is the Cargo Essentials Eyeshadow palette, presented in a shiny new box, this palette contains a refreshing range of colours, along with a mirror inside the lid, an eyeliner and doubled ended eye shadow brush. I am extremely pleased as I love the Crago eyeshadow range. The colour payoff for the shadows is excellent quality. After browsing in the booklet, I read that this palette is priced at £35, so already paying for the box itself.
The next item I see is the Laura Mercier, Flawless Facebook Palette in shade nude/sand. This palette is ideal for contouring on the go, as it comes in a black, textured compact with a mirror inside the lid. Included are two concealers one for the undereye and the other for brightening, a tinted moisturiser, a secret blemish concealer and a pressed powder.The palette retails at £38.00. Wow and wow!
My next two items are Nail polishes by Nails Inc. The shades are both interesting, one is an orange colour, named 'Chelsea Flower Show', not my absolute first choice but nevertheless ideal for a change and very befitting for Autumn colours. The next nail polish shade is 'Colville Mews' a beige, light coloured shade ideal for a day-time look. Both polishes have a combined value of £11.00.
The fifth item in the box is an instant eye reviver from 'Bare Minerals' this is described as ideal for reducing the appearance of tired looking eyes. I have to say I was excited to try this as so far I have really enjoy using the Bare Minerals, product range. The eye reviver had a powder like, silky consistency and as directed you only needed a small amount. Upon application, it absorbed really quickly and my undereye area felt and looked smoother. This item retails at £15.00.
The final addition to the box is a sample of Chloe perfume. This smells absolutely yummy, a lovely sweet, floral fragrance which left me wanted to buy a full size instantly.
My overall impression of the Cohorted beauty box is that it is a worthwhile investment. The contents are gorgeous and I am really looking forward to the December beauty box. If you are looking for a subscription box that offers full size, high end beauty products, look no further.
