My First FeelUnique Box!


My very first feelunique beauty box arrived this afternoon. It's the cheapest one on the beauty box market at the moment at £9.95 including p&p, so I thought I'd give it a try. Have a nosey.
First item is TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Dust. This is basically a dry shampoo type thing but you actually sprinkle it on to the hair rather than spraying. My hair needs a wash today so I tried it out, its the weirdest thing ever, it actually is like dust and i cant really tell how much of it I'm putting on my hair.It did give my hair a bit of volume but it didn't seem to do much else. This is a 1g sample, I don't know what the full size is but it costs £9.35.

This is the Mandragore Eau De Toilette by Annick Groutal. It's the most gorgeous bottle and comes in a lovely purple mesh bag and the sample itself is huge. It's a generous 25ml bottle, the 50ml size retails at around £45. To me it started off as a vibrant citrus scent and then turned into a dark peppery tone. I love it!!
Next up is the Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Cleanser, I've heard a lot of good things about the Clarisonic skin cleansing brush and this gel would go with that cleansing system. I'm intrigued to try it even without the brush. I'll let you know what it's like. It's a 30ml sample and the full size 177ml of the stuff costs £21.00, the brushes by the way, start from about £120. 
How cute!!!! A little baby pink Nails Inc. nail polish. The shade is Oxford Circus, think this was the only color in the boxes this month. Haven't tried it yet but again I've heard good things about Nails Inc. but never actually got around trying their products until now!! This is a 4ml sample their full size 10ml polishes are around £11 and they have loads of different colors and nail wraps too!
Last but not least is Figs&Rouge Sweet Geranium 100% Organic Balm. The tin is so cute and retro I really like it. The balm itself not so keen on, the sweet smell of it is too strong for me but it does feel nice on the lips. This is an 8ml full size pot and costs (depending on the flavor) £3.49 or £4.99 they have a lot of different flavors, I'm tempted by the pomegranate one. If anyone want's this item, let me know!

Also included as an extra was little samples from Living Nature, the Vitalising Cleanser, Extra Hydrating Toning Gel and Nourishing Day Cream.


That's it!!!!! All in all I'm really happy with this box for the price it's really good value for money, the box looks a little bit cheaper than the other beauty boxes but it doesn't bother me. I'm going to keep subscribing and see what the future boxes are like and you will see me reviewing them here. 
So what do you think? Did you like this box?

So my December GlossyBox arrived today in limited edition red for christmas (usually it's dusty pink) For those of you that don't know its a monthly subscription beauty sample box that you can cancel anytime. It's £10.00 +p&p so £12.95 in total. Have a peek at mine and see what you think.
First item is the BLINK+Go Hi-Definition Mascara. This is one of the full size items, retails at £14.99. I haven't tried it yet but the brush looks good, it has like a slim oval shaped brush. Color is Black and it's Waterproof.
Second item in the box is the Cargo Cosmetics Classic Lip Gloss. It's a mini 9ml trial size, there was 5 colors in the mix mine was in Morocco, its the darkest one and not really suitable for my skin tone, its quite sheer and non sticky but still gives my lips a plummy tone that just doesn't suit. If anyone would like this item let me know. It retails at £10.00 for full size.


Next up is the Deborah Lippmann Mini Nail Varnish in Razzle Dazzle with Stripped to Go Sachet. This looks pretty cool I've never seen a nail polish remover mitt, so I'm excited to try this also the nail polish looks so beautiful and really festive, I'll be rocking this on christmas day. The full size nail polish is £16.00 and the Stripped to Go is £14.00 for a pack of 6.
This is MeMeMe Seventh Heaven moisturising facebase, I'm thinking its a primer. I've never tried a primer really so I'm curious to try this, that's why I love these boxes because they give you the chance to try things that you would never buy. So I'll let you know how I get on with this. This is a 10ml sample, full size 30ml is £15.00. Also in the box is a tiny voucher for £5 off your order plus free delivery.
Last but not least is the second full size product, Rituals Foaming Shower Gel again there was a few different ones in the boxes mine was Indian Rose&Sweet Almond Oil. I tried it earlier and it is really amazing, has a really soft, feminine scent. Feels really natural and lovely on the skin. I always need moisturizer after a shower but not with this. I really love this product. It retails at £6.50 for the full size so it's a decent price to treat yourself.

That's it!!! This is my fourth GlossyBox and I'm really happy with it. Next blog I'm going to do is for my first FeelUnique box so keep an eye out for it. I have 4 boxes in total this month so I want to show you my special christmas JolieBox( Boudoir Prive) and Carmine beauty boxes.
What do you think?? Is it a waste of money? Has this tempted you? If it has let me know I'll refer you lol.
