FeelUnique Beauty Box - February (and last ever box!)

Hi Everyone,

Unfortunately  I received an email today from Feel Unique explaining that they are "closing Beauty Box indefintely as of this month"

I am really disappointed that this is the case as I did enjoy receiving their boxes and enjoyed trying out new products. I am unsure whether I will sign up to any other beauty boxes as this was the one that I was immediately drawn. In the long run I guess it will save me some money. (Although I was enjoying collecting the boxes for storage!)

I did swither, after receiving this email, whether to post about this months box however some of you may still be interested in what was received so here we go....

This months box was based on "Fall in Love"

"Give yourself some pamper time by priming your skin and body ahead of that big date with the exotic zest of Elemis Lime & Ginger Body Wash followed by Nuxe's infamous multi-tasking dry oil. Get the perfect glow with Decleor's at home face peel and give your hair the attention it's been craving with Philip Kingsley's cult treatment. Finally, start a love affair with uber-cool Leighton Denny long-lasting nail varnish for a picture perfect finish."

 Decleor Phytopeel Face Peel Cream 15ml (Fullsize 50ml is £23.40) "A soft cream formula which exfoliates and smoothes the epidermis. It gently absorbs and eliminates impurities, and does not contain exfoliating particles, the gentlest and most natural way to renew your skin." I actually quite like the smell of this and I am quite a fan of using masks etc a couple of times a week (when I have time!)

 

 Leighton Denny High Performance Colour 4.6ml (Fullsize 12ml is £11) This is in the shade Diamond Rose which a pearly/shiny soft pink colour. I am not the biggest fan of iridescent shades and would have much preferred a 'fuller' colour although I might try this out as a top coat.

 

 Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Usage Dry Oil 10ml (Fullsize 50ml is £17) 'Huile Prodigieuse is a dry oil with a unique superactivated formula combining 30% Precious Plant Oils and Vitamin E to nourish, repair and soften face, body and hair in a single gesture' I have never used oils anywhere but my hair but I am looking forward to using this! Especially as it can be used for so many things!

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer 40ml (Fullsize 150ml is £22.30) 'Intensive, super-moisturizing pre-shampoo treatment for all hair types. Adds elasticity, manageability, bounce and shine' I was SUPER happy to find this in the box and is the product I am most excited about trying! It has been in other beauty boxes before and people said such positive things!

Jean Paul Gaultier Kokorico Eau De Toilette Spray 1ml (Fullsize 100ml is £45.90)  This was obviously just an added extra within the box, which I can live with however it is for men! Nonetheless I do actually like the smell of this so I shall be passing it onto my Fiance!

Elemis Lime and Ginger Hand and Body Wash 100ml (Fullsize 300ml is £18.40) This is actually a decent sample size! The fragrance isn't one that I am particularly fond of but I don't dislike it either. I will probably use this as a hand wash rather than on my body.

I was actually very happy with this months box as I will use every item in it and so it makes me a little sad that this is the last one :(

What's everyone else's favourite Beauty Box?

Feel Unique Beauty Box - January

Hello!

First off I want to apologise for the slightly shoddy/lesser quality photos which are to follow as I have left my usual camera at my Fiance's parents house and I am not sure when I will see them to get it back :-( and so I had to use my crappy camera to show you the contents of this months Feel Unique Beauty Box.

This Month the products were based on "New Year, New You" :

This month we concentrate on 'starting over'  by providing you with all the tools you need to get through the year ahead.  Bring back your natural glow with essential skin brushing,  followed by a nourishing & enriching body treatment to soften and tone tired limbs. Get an instant radiant lift with your new cleansing and mousturising routine and top off by restoring you hair's natural suppleness and shine with the perfect colour treatment - they'll keep you glowing from top to toe....

The contents included the following:

First off we have Lierac Coherence L.IR Infrared Lifting Cream 15ml. (50ml full size is £56.55) Now I have never used any anti-aging creams as I have never felt the need! However after recently turning 24 perhaps its something I should get started in before it's too late haha. "Featuring combination of collagen III accelerating vectors and micronised tourmaline crystals, Lierac Coherence L.IR Infrared Lifting Cream produces a virtual "face-resculpting" effect. Skin looks visibly "lifted" and regains optimum firmness."  Not something I am overjoyed about receiving however it is the most expensive item in the box. 

Caudalie Vinotherapie Nourishing Body Lotion 30ml (400ml full size is £21.50)  A nice smelling body lotion which apparently 'encourages micro-circulation and helps prevent premature skin aging' and also claims to help prevent stretchmarks during pregnancy. Fair doos as I don't actually have that many travel size body lotions so I will get the use of it.

Phyto PhytoBaume Color Protect Express Conditioner 20ml(full size 150ml £10.20) Does what it says on the tube really.

Green People Gentle Cleanse 10ml (full size is 200ml is £15.25) I have actually already used this and I LOVE it!! I used it to remove my eye make up with a cotton pad, which did feel a bit strange as it is a fairly thick consistency however it did it no problem and did not sting my eyes at all! 

2 x Dead Sea Spa Magik Salt Brushing sachets 50g each (500g fullsize is £12.25) I like to be able to feel the bits when I use an exfoliator and so I am really looking forward to trying this! It recommends using a small amount on dry skin then showering off. I will let you know how i get on.

Overall I am fairly pleased with this months box (except for the anti-ageing cream although it could be a good wee gift for my mum lol) . I like the fact they are things that I wouldn't normally buy and already I think I may end up purchasing a full size of the Green People Gentle Cleanse!

As previously mentioned the Feel Unique Beauty Box is available for a monthly subscription of £9.95 which includes P&P.

Did anyone else receive this month's box?

Feel Unique Beauty Box

Hey Everyone!

So things have been a bit hectic lately with it coming up for Christmas and all! Lots of shopping, wrapping, decorating and family visiting to do!! Things have also been very hectic with the Postal Service it appears! I originally received an email tellling me my Feel Unique Beaty Box had been despatched on the 5th of December, I was then informed 10 days later that a shipment had went missing without them being infomed but they had now been routed onwards and so I finally received it this morning! I should note that Feel Unique were great to keep my informed with what was going on.

Right, so I  had seen many blog posts on the different beauty boxes which are available and it was the Feel Unique one that I was drawn to the most (although this months GlossyBox looked amazing!). I have used their website many times (free delivery!!) and I liked the idea of being able to go onto their site to purchase the items that they include in their boxes, if I so happen to want more of them. It is a monthly supscription of £9.95 (that includes postage!) and each month you receive 5 Deluxe sized beauty products.This subscription can be cancelled at anytime so you are not tied in.

Onto the box.

This is my first BeautyBox and it was actually slightly smaller that I expected, I think I was expecting something about A4 size when in fact its about A5 size. I have no idea why I expected it to be bigger, I guess sometimes you cannot tell from photographs! However I have to say I really like the packaging, sleek black with pink text.

                         A pink tab on the side allows you to slide out the tray with all the goodies!

Unfortunately as my box was late I already new what to expect when it arrived although I'm not to bothered as I was still very excited to get it this morning! Onto the contents...............

First off was Mangragore Eau De Toilette, Annick Goutal Paris 25ml. A 50ml bottle to buy is £43.45! Now I know most people don't like receiving perfume samples in their beauty boxes and I don't like the idea either however this is a bit more than your normal perfume sample! It is a beautiful small glass bottle with a decent amount in it! It is not a scent I would choose myself although after having it on all day it is growing on me and seems to be a great warming scent for the winter time!

 

Clarisonic refreshing gel cleanser 30ml  (full size 177ml is £21.00) I am looking forward to using this as I have been eyeing up the Clarisonic Mia (its just so expensive!) and so it will be good to try out this first.

Nails Inc Oxford Circus 4ml (Full size 10ml is £11) I would have much preferred a more festive colour to be included in the 'christmas' box although this is still a very nice baby pink colour.

TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Dust 1g This is a full-size product which is worth £9.35!! So looking forward to trying this out! The tube feels like it has nothing in it at all but on sprinkling it onto my hand I was surprised to see the product is almost like fluff and not as white as I was expecting!

Figs & Rouge Sweet Geranium 100% Organic Balm 8ml This is also a full-size product worth £3.49! I am not too keen on this floral scent as I think it reminds me of something which I cannot put my finger on! The product itself seem very good but I would have much prefered the Peppermint and Tea Tree one!

Despite the wait I had I am delighted with my first Feel Unique Beauty Box and will definitely stay subscribed to the next one! If you want a bit more information on their box click here.
