Four female entrepreneurs have joined forces to launch what’s described as the world’s first dental beauty box.

Megan Fairhall, Michaela Chalk, Rebecca Walton and Teagan Maddocks have a total of 60 years’ experience working in the beauty sector.

Each has their own beauty product but, with Covid causing a turbulent year, decided that a collaborative venture based on a ‘shop local’ beauty box would work.

Orders have already come in for the box – also hailed as Bournemouth’s first-ever beauty box and pictured by James Bridle – since the official launch on December 13.

It has a recommended retail price of £80 but is on sale from £45 including free delivery.

The dental beauty box contains:

  • Regenerate Toothpaste – Full Size 75ml
  • Regenerate Toothpaste – Travel Size 14ml
  • Philips Sonicare toothbrush Head
  • CocoFloss – Full Size 32 Yards
  • Tigi Skin Serum
  • Contour Curve
  • Illumineye lash strips
  • Rose Quartz Crystal

Megan, 32, who has a BSc (Hons) degree in Dental Hygiene & Dental Therapy and is a brand ambassador for Philips, has her own brand Live To Smile.

She also works in dental practices in Harley Street and locally.

Last year she married Benjamin Banks-Reynolds, the Bournemouth nightclub owner and entrepreneur.

Megan said: “All four of us know each other on the Bournemouth scene.

“It just seemed to make sense to collaborate.

“It’s the dental products you need, combined with the beauty products you want.”

Michaela’s contribution to the beauty box is Contour Curve.

The 31-year-old make-up artist, pictured right, founded the beauty tool designed to create a professional contoured make-up look in 2018.

Claimed to make it impossible for a contour to go wrong, the product is described as a daily essential for creating perfectly sculpted cheekbones, a defined nose and a streamlined jaw using cream or powder products.

No beauty box is complete without lashes and this one has four IlluminEye lashes to choose from: ‘Lauren’, ‘Amara’, ‘Rebecca’ and ‘Coco’.

Rebecca, 34, pictured left, decided to create her own strip lash range when she kept seeing clients struggle with finding their perfect set of lashes.

The final product in the beauty box is Tigi Skina, a vitamin C serum created by Teagan, 31, pictured right.

It contains vitamin C, vitamin R and hyaluronic acid with benefits said to include reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stimulation of collagen and plumping, brightening and firming of the skin.

  • The Dental Beauty Box can be bought online here or at IlluminEye Lash & Brow Lounge, 1 Parr St, Poole, BH14 0JX.
