Feelunique beauty box!

So i was awoken the other morning by a knock on the door, thankfully it was a lovely surprise... my feelunique beauty box yay!
And what a great one, i can honestly say i cant wait to try them all out!
Heres a peek

Classy and elegant box, great for storing lipsticks or nail varnish's or even as gift boxes!

Fab november box!

Brief summary of each product and 10% off the full sized products with feelunique.com

So what were the products:

Schwarzkopf Osis+ Dust It Mattifying Powder

States its a lightweight powder that turns into a cream when you run it between your hands and then gives you light control. I've been wanting to try this for ages, so Ive already had a play around with it and so far i can say its a good product! However I'm struggling to make it turn into a cream, I've found it best to sprinkle a little straight onto your roots. This is the full size  product 10g which normally costs the price of the beautybox itself, so I'm well chuffed!

Bella Pierre Shimmer Powder

This is a multi-purpose powder, the shade i go was reluctance which is a green silver colour should be good for a smokey eye look. You can use it as an eyeshadow highlight, cheekbone highlight and even adding it to lip gloss, but due to the colour i got ill just be using it as an eyeshadow. 

Xen Tan Deep Bronze Luxe

Ive use the xen tan  dark lotion before but not the luxe before so I'm looking forward to trying this :) Just remember to exfoliate!

Goldwell Dual Senses Ultra Volume 60 Second Treatment

Ive used this last night in replacement of my normal conditioner and it definitely gave my hair volume, so I'm impressed!

Emma Hardie Amazing Face Natural Lift and Sculpt Moringa Cleansing Balm:

 I have used the eve lom version of a hot cloth cleanser, and I loved the product however its not cheap. This was easy to use and you only need a tiny amount, its takes off all your makeup including mascara!

Prada Candy perfume sample

This smells lush! Ive definitely gonna keep wearing it and decide whether to purchase a full size

Very happy with the feeluniques beautybox :)

6 products for 9.95 a month bargain!

OPI alpine snow

Ive always lusted after a white nail polish, but I've never come across one that was exactly what i wanted until i found this;

This gives the perfect all over white colour, for those lusting after a white as snow nail varnish. But also double as a great tip for french manicures, so all in all with OPI's normal high quality i thinks its a bargain.

Latest in beauty monthly box review

I found this website around six months ago,when i was searching for makeup sample box like glossybox. The latest in beauty offers its subscribers to once a moth pay £1 to receive samples of products, this includes postage costs. So its a great deal really! Yes of course the products aren't high end like chanel or nars, but I've had samples like olay and burts bees. There’s no catch,the site just asks you to give back feedback on the products.
You get a choice of three products; one skincare, one makeup and fragrances and one hair and body.

The samples come in a parcel like this, well measured to fit through letterboxes :)

 And this months box, i choose;

1. Burts Bees therapeutic bath crystals 44g, which is meant to  help stimulate the elimination of waste products from teh skin and soreness, after things like physical exercise.
2.  Lavera Faces , a summer glow facial moisturizer of which i got 4 sachets of, said to give a glow to the face.
3. Yu-be moisturizing skin cream (one small tube), which is a concentrated  glycerin moisturizing cream from japan enriched with vitamins. Which can be used everywhere and is suitable for all the family.
They also sent me a sample of Sun shots sun cream, as you can see above.
All come with a note saying thank you fro ordering, with a small explanation of the products.
All in all, this is a cheap alternative to products like glossybox and birchbox. Although if you like me you might want to try them all. £1 is nothing to be honest, i think its a bargain product :)
