Groucho Marx didn't want to be part of any club that would have him as a member but here's one I wouldn't mind joining. Latestinbeauty.com lets you trial sample size beauty buys for a small fee (usually £1) each month and offers products from over 100 major brands. It's a great way to have a go before you fork out the full price (and find it's not actually for you!) - who doesn't have a sad bathroom collection of expensive mistakes?

This month's offering is the exclusive CEW 'Beauty Insiders' Choice' box, featuring a selection of the 25 winners of this year's CEW UK Beauty Awards, the industry's Oscars, voted by beauty professionals. It includes travel sized Clarins Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correction Cream (15ml), Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash (55ml), Batiste Dry Shampoo (50ml) and Nivea for Men Revitalising Gel (15ml), plus small samples of Lanolips Lip Ointment and Dr Organic Rose Otto Skin Lotion. And all for just £4.95, which is a saving of £15, as the normal retail price would be £20. Even if you don't end up buying anything afterwards, this kit is great for travelling or weekends away.

There are new boxes available every month, selling usually for £1, and you choose which ones you want to receive. There are also limited edition themed boxes on offer, next is the Party Prep box, out in time to help you decide on your Christmas party purchases. And as a member of Latest in Beauty you will also be able to share feedback with other readers and read their product reviews to find out what works and what doesn't.
