My value came in at £81.10 which I paid £13.95 for. I could have shopped smarter and got more Elemis for the sake of it as they are high priced items. But instead I choose what I actually needed most, mascara, and sunscreen for our walks, but a sensitive skin one as I’m allergic to sunlight, and a good moisturizer. What would you pick??

I clicked to get a beautiful heavy duty cloth pouch as well, which I know will be handy for all our camping trips. I love these travel deluxe sample size products as they are perfect for holidays and hospitals.

Each month I have a subscription box from Look Fantastic it starts from £13.00 a month if you do 13 months, or £15.00 a month on a month to month basis. This includes shipping in UK.

Now I am sure it used to be more full size products, but now we have 2 full size and the rest are deluxe sample.
