Let's get one thing straight, I've always loved Selfridges from the iconic yellow and black bags, to the beautiful Oxford Street flagship store steeped in heritage and not forgetting the carefully selected stock, a real mix of high end buys, high street must haves and not forgetting Selfridges exclusives. So I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when I heard that the story of Selfridges was to be made in a television program. If you haven't been watching Mr Selfridge then what are you doing with your Sunday nights? The program is sheer genius and has seriously not disappointed ultimately confirming my love for Selfridges so when I heard they were producing a limited edition beauty box I just had to get my mitts on one.


With only 1000 beauty boxes made the Valentines themed beauty box is the perfect February pick me up, especially if your Valentines was less romantic dinner for two and more takeaway for one or even if you just want to treat yourself. Available exclusively on-line (awesome for those who usually have to trek to Manchester to get their Selfridges fix) I bought mine late on Monday afternoon and it arrived Tuesday via standard delivery, thanks Selfridges!

 Inside the beautiful and instantly recognisable packaging is a Stila Lipglaze in Watermelon, a Kure Bazaar nail polish in Stiletto, an Aromatherapy Associates Rose body cream, a pot of Steamcream and a Courreges' Rose de Courreges eau de parfum. This is my first ever beauty box and I must say I'm impressed! I'm definitely someone who's sat on the fence when I've seen beauty bloggers talk about the latest instalment of their monthly beauty subscription box, some have great products but on the whole I'd say it's pot luck. What I love about the limited edition Selfridges box is that you know exactly what you're getting. Now at £25 this is an indulgent treat but with the products having a whopping combined value of £87 I think it's a smart buy, that's what I'm telling myself anyway.

I cannot wait to try out the Stila Lipglaze, the Kure Bazaar nail polish (with the super chic bottle and a name like Kure you know it's going to be good) as well as the Aromatherapy Associates body cream and not forgetting the pot of Steamcream - I'm dying to see what all the fuss is about and how cute is the packaging? Nearly all the brands featured in this limited edition beauty box are well featured in the beauty blogging realm so I have seriously high hopes. Oh and I couldn't mention a Valentines themed beauty box without mentioning my Valentines day, the boy bought me roses and a super cute card before cooking me a huge three course dinner. He's definitely a keeper! I hope you all enjoyed your Valentines days as much as me - I can't help thinking Stiletto would have been the perfect Valentines nail, maybe I'll paint them now...
