Every few months Net-A-Porter releases a new limited edition beauty box - and they are amazing! The packaging is beautiful, the products are top-quality (many full size), and the value is great too. Of course I bought this one the moment it launched!
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

This set comes with two different bubble wraps bags. (These are great to reuse for packaging or travel).
Aromatherapy Associates Inner Strength Bath & Shower Oil - (7.5ml/ 0.25fl.oz.) Value $10
Cute packaging! This oil is made with a blend of Clary Sage, Frankincense and Cardamom. It's all natural, and smells wonderful. You only need to add two tiny capfuls to a bath, so I should be able to get a few uses out of it!
BY TERRY Baume De Rose Lip and Nail Balm - (3g/ 0.10oz.) Value $18
This balm works for cuticles or lips, but I prefer it for my nails. It is an instant improvement for my cuticles, and it is another scent that I love.
Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial - (5ml/ 0.17 fl.oz.) Value $29
I tried this out last night, and it feels like a lightweight oil serum. I can't say I could tell any difference in my skin this morning, but this sample should last me at least a week.
Radical Skincare Anti-Aging Restorative Moisture - (8ml/ 0.27fl.oz.)Value $24
The one problem with buying a box that samples lots of high-end brands, is that if you fall in love with any of them, you've just upped your monthly beauty costs! I'm struggling with that with this moisture cream. It is a super lightweight formula (almost gel-like), and I love the barely there citrus scent. Plus it is free of parabens, phthalates, etc.
Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm - (5ml/ 0.17fl.oz.) Value $10.50
This is another lovely smelling product (I think pretty much everything in this box smells amazing). It's a cleanser balm that removes all makeup too.
This Works In Transit Camera Close Up - (15ml/ 0.50fl.oz.) Value $20
This product is designed to be a primer, mask and moisturizer in one. I like the idea of combining the moisturizer and primer step in my morning routine (and sorry for sounding so repetitive) but I LOVE the scent! I've been wearing it since this morning, and I like that it gives a bit of a dewy finish but my skin hasn't gotten too shiny.
Ren Skincare Instant Firming Beauty Shot - (10ml/ 0.33fl.oz.) Value $18
This is designed to be used as a base or over makeup to tighten, firm and rehydrate fine lines and wrinkles. I originally applied it as a thin layer all over my face before applying makeup just to see if I noticed any difference - I didn't. Then after applying makeup, I applied a decent amount on the line near my mouth that really shows up when I put on makeup and it was almost like magic. The line didn't completely go away, but it without a doubt improved to become a very fine line. (I double checked in the mirror about 20 times just to be sure). I also tried it under my eyes but didn't really notice a difference there. Still, I'm sold on this item, and will definitely buy it again in full-size.
Now onto the big bag!
Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo - (250ml/ 8.5fl.oz.) FULL SIZE! Value $48
Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Conditioner (200ml/ 6.8fl.oz.)FULL SIZE! Value $49
These items were one of the main reasons I didn't hesitate in buying this box! I've sampled Oribe hair products before, but never their shampoo and conditioner. The packaging is so luxe:
Good to know - these are color and keratin-treatment safe - Vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free.
I love the scent of these so much - they made my shower a little more like a luxe-spa! My husband Eric even wanted to try them and my first thought was "Don't use too much of my $50 shampoo!"
Lancer The Method: Polish - (30ml/ 1.0fl.oz.) Value $18.75
This is a super-fine exfoliator. I can't find details on how often you should use it, but it was gentle enough on my skin that I'm guessing you could use it several times a week with no issues. I also like the sample size of this one!
Joya FoxGlove Roll-On Parfum - 10ml/ 0.34fl.oz.) Value $30
This scent is described as a "blend of fresh white florals, Jasmine and White Cedar inspired by Central Park." It's a unisex fragrance, and not your typical perfume scent - I like it!
Philip Kingsley Geranium and Neroli Elasticizer Pre-Shampoo Treatment (75ml/ 2.53fl.oz.) Value $26
This is an all natural hair product designed to be used before shampoo as a 20-minute treatment. I'm impressed with the sample size (it is half the size of the full-size version), and the packaging is super cute too. Hopefully I should get several uses out of this treatment.
Smith & Cult The Shining Lip Lacquer – The Queen is Dead - (5ml/ 0.16fl.oz)FULL SIZE! Value $22
Smith & Cult seems to be everywhere lately! I'm a sucker for fancy packaging, and I like their formulas, so that's fine by me! This lipgloss has a good amount of sheer color and shine, and almost no stickiness. (Swatched below).
Burberry Beauty Fresh Glow Highlighting Luminous Pen – 01 Nude Radiance (1.4g/ 0.04oz.) FULL SIZE! Value $37
Net-A-Porter recommends using this as "a primer for an all-over glow or brush it along your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and Cupid’s bow." The stick design makes this a little challenging for an all-over primer, but it is perfect (and subtle) for highlighting. (Swatched below):
111SKIN Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask (23ml/ 0.77fl.oz.) Value $32
UPDATE - I forgot this picture/item when first posting the review. This mask is designed to stimulate collagen, plus brighten and moisturize skin. Net-A-Porter recommends using it after a long-flight or before a big event.
Verdict: This box has a value of about $392. I think that is great for a $139 box - especially for these brands and products. I am seriously considering buying a second box! Also, (I know I said it way too much in this review) but everything in this box smells so good! If you are looking for a luxe beauty box for yourself or a gift, I highly recommend this one.
Plus the packaging is great for gifts! What do you think of the Net-A-Porter Holiday 2015 Beauty Kit?
