"EXCLUSIVE TO NET-A-PORTER.COM. We have selected 14 of our favorite must-have skincare, makeup and hair products for this limited edition holiday kit. This luxurious set makes the perfect gift for beauty enthusiasts or the friend who has everything. Quantities are limited."
A while ago, I purchased and absolutely enjoyed one of Net-a-porter's Beauty Boxes, which contained so many beautiful, luxurious beauty products (a mix of full-sizes and travel sizes) and was such an amazing value (see unboxing post here). It's such a fantastic way to try products without investing in only full-sizes. It's also great for 'research purposes', being a beauty blogger. ;-) So, when their new 'The Holiday Kit' box was released, I just had to snatch it up as a gift for myself. ^_^ So here's an unboxing post with LOTS of pictures(!) and my first impressions of a few of the products I've tried and some swatches - in case you thought of getting one for yourself or a loved one.
It's packaged in the beautiful Net-a-porter black box with a gorgeous ribbon as usual. ^_^ When opened, most of the products (except for the very big bottle) are packaged neatly, safely and securely in little bubble-wrap bags.
Below is The Holiday Kit brochure that describes all of the products in the box.
Here they all are! Note, I had to transfer them into a smaller box in this shot so they all sit better. ;-)
All the items in their boxes...
Below are the list of products and descriptions taken from Net-a-porter.com:
// Tata Harper's Rejuvenating Serum is enriched with 29 active ingredients to combat wrinkles, improve elasticity and minimize pores (15ml/ 0.5oz.)
// Gently dissolve makeup with Erno Laszlo's soothing Phelityl Pre-Cleansing Oil, following with the cult-favorite Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar to remove impurities, blackheads and dead cells (15ml/ 0.5oz.)
// Plump and protect skin from premature aging gently yet effectively with Verso's Retinol 8-infused Day Cream (15ml/ 0.51oz.)
// Streamline your beauty regimen with Susanne Kaufmann's multi-tasking Shower/ Shampoo treatment (50ml/ 1.7oz.) This is four products in one - body cleanser, skin nourishment, shampoo and conditioner! I was very intrigued, but I was a bit skeptical of how well this would work for all four purposes, but I tried it today and my first impression is pretty good. :) It has a subtle, fresh and pleasant scent and feels very moisturising on the skin. It seemed to clean my hair really well, while keeping it feeling smooth at the same time like a conditioner would. I really like the idea of just having a single bottle in the shower and streamlining my beauty regime.
// Get bombshell volume, lightweight moisture and intense shine with SHOW Beauty's Divine Thickening Lotion (150ml/ 5.1oz.) This is the full-sized bottle - normally at AU$77.24! The gorgeous rose-gold metal bottle alone is divine!
// A spritz of This Works Sleep Plus Pillow Spray before bed is the secret to a full, relaxing night of beauty sleep (5ml/ 0.17oz.) Looking forward to trying this 'plus' version as I'm never without the original. I absolutely love that one.
// Renouve's No.1 collagen-boosting Anti-Aging Everyday Defense Hand-Sanitizer eliminates germs without drying out skin (30ml/ 1oz.) Full-size retailing for AU$32.
// Moisturize and brighten skin with De Mamiel's Rosehip and Coconut-enriched Salvation Body Oil (30ml/ 1oz.)
// Keep brows perfectly groomed while nourishing them with B the Eyebrow Experts' Clear Brow Gel (5ml/ 0.17oz.) This is the full-size - normally retailing for AU$32.14.
// Infused with Shea Butter and Honey, Malin & Goetz's oil-free Vitamin b5 Body Moisturizer provides dry skin with intense, long-lasting hydration (29ml/ 1oz.)
// Combat the winter chill, reduce redness and lock in moisture with Earth Tu Face's Face Balm (25ml/ 0.9oz.) Full-size and normally priced at AU$83.45!
// A sheer, universally flattering red, Ilia's nourishing Bang Bang Tint Lip Conditioner can be built up for a more intense color (3.5 g/ 0.12oz.) This is the full-size and normal RRP is AU$30.
// Chantecaille's Liquid Lumiere Anti-Aging Face illuminator in Sheen contains a powerful botanical blend to instantly smooth out imperfections and even out skin tone while boosting collagen over time (23ml/ 0.8oz.) I believe this is the full size and normally it's priced at AU$52 at Mecca Cosmetica for instance (this product does not seem to be sold individually at Net-a-porter for some reason).
[Note, all the ingredients for each product are also provided on the Net-a-porter website].
Let's take a look at the products without their individual packaging...
Up close...
I'm amazed at how beautiful this bottle is!!! *_* Oh my.
The Ilia Lip Conditioner in Bang Bang up close...the colour looks intense in the tube.
However, when swatched, it's more like a tinted lip balm...
Here's what it looks like on my blue-toned, pigmented lips and against my medium to tan, olive skin tone. For my first impression...I really like this! It shows up better on my lips than when swatched and the colour pay-off is much better than I thought for a lip tint. It has a delicious scent and it feels nourishing.
Chantecaille's Liquid Lumiere Anti-Aging Face illuminator in Sheen
It has a gel to fluid texture...
I dispensed quite a lot above, so below is how the heavy application looks like when blended out (not quite completely).
Below is the smallest amount of the product blended out. This is probably closer to how much I would apply for normal application (aka, a bit more subtly). ;-)
I have yet to try this on my face, so hopefully I will enjoy using this.
The box is AU$106.90, so the savings is huge given there are quite a few full-sized products included!
Can't wait to try everything in this box! :D If you're thinking of getting it, be quick as numbers are limited. >_< Shipping is super-fast, too (2-3 days to Australia)!
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks for stopping by! ^_^ xo
