The OK! Beauty Box Timeless Beauty Edit by Lady of the Manor is priced at £59.99 but contains products valued at over £250, including a Rodial collagen booster that one reviewer says has improved her skincare routine.
Created in partnership with influencer Hayley Karseras, known online as Lady of the Manor, the box brings together 10 products from brands including Rodial, Gatineau, Pippa of London and others. Seven of the items are full size and span makeup, skincare and fragrance.
What's inside the box
According to OK! Beauty Box, the edit is built around Karseras's beauty philosophy of 'Prep. Target. Boost. Nourish. Perfect.' The description says every product has been chosen to work together, helping create a skincare and beauty ritual that is 'both effective and enjoyable'.
The contents include the Rodial Collagen Booster Drops 31ml (full size, worth £85), Gatineau Paris Collagene Expert Plump & Revive Eye Cream 15ml (full size, worth £46), and Arkive No One Elsie Eau de Parfum Scent for Hair and Skin 50ml (full size, worth £30). Also included are the Pixi Antioxidant Tonic 100ml (travel size, worth £14), Pai Middlemist Seven Cream Cleanser 50ml (mini size, worth £19), Nuxe Paris Very Rose Lip Balm 15g (full size, worth £14), Pippa of London Dark Queen Mascara (full size, worth £22), Wet n Wild Color Icon 10 Pan Palette Rose in the Air (full size, worth £7.89), ISOCLEAN Makeup Brush Cleaner with Spray Top 80ml (travel size, worth £8), and BeautyPro Retinol Renewing Facial Sheet Mask (worth £6). A voucher for two copies of OK! Magazine is also included.
Reviewer's verdict
Dayna Farrington, a senior affiliates multimedia writer, said her initial reaction was surprise at how many products were included, having previously bought boxes with only five or six items. She noted that a single product is worth more than the entire box.
Farrington said the Rodial Collagen Booster Drops were a highlight, as she had been eager to add more collagen to her routine. The drops contain marine collagen and peptides formulated to enhance skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. She said she has not used them long enough to notice lasting improvements, but applying them each morning before her serum and moisturiser has already given her complexion a noticeable radiance.
She also praised the Pixi Antioxidant Tonic, which she uses in her evening routine after cleansing and before night cream, saying her skin appears more nourished and hydrated. The Nuxe Paris Very Rose Lip Balm became an 'absolute staple', leaving her lips soothed and deeply moisturised with a subtle rose scent.
Her only minor letdown, purely a matter of personal taste, was the Wet n Wild Color Icon 10 Pan Palette Rose in the Air, which she plans to pass on to a friend. She concluded that at under £60, the box represents outstanding value for money and she will buy the next collection.
For comparison, LookFantastic's New Season Edit has been reduced from £40 to £30, with contents worth over £105 from brands such as ANUA, the INKEY List and Hair Sam McKnight. The Boots Trending Beauty Box costs £45, with contents worth over £190 featuring products from Color Wow, Iconic London and Hello Sunday.
