I have already tried the FeelUnique Pick
& Mix Samples Service, so I thought it was time I tried the Beauty Kit
Samples Service. It works a similar way to the Pick & Mix, but the sample
sizes are bigger and the price is different. You also get a FREE beauty pouch.
The items come all separate in the box, but you can put them inside the beauty
pouch.
The way it
works is that you have to be logged into your FeelUnique account and then you
can make your order. You can select up to five different samples from
categories, such as; Body, Hair, Fragrance, Make-Up and Skincare. You will get
charged £12.95 for the samples and a shipping/handling fee of £3.95. Once your
order has been despatched you will receive a Gift Voucher worth £3.95, which
you can use against future orders (some exclusions apply). Only one of these
subscriptions can be purchased per household within one calendar month.
Here are the five samples I chose:
COLAB
Unicorn Dry Shampoo
I received a 50ml aerosol can of the full
sized dry shampoo. You can purchase it in 200ml for £3.49.
“Amazing
oil absorption without white residue”
This dry shampoo is supposed to absorb
oil and instantly refresh your roots with a lightweight and invisible finish.
You hair should feel clean and soft. It is scented with jasmine and vanilla.
There’s not much I can say about this
product as it is a dry shampoo that works! The product is invisible so there is
no white residue in your hair and it smells amazing too. The scent kind of
reminds me of an Impulse body spray. I would look a re-purchasing a can in the
future when I have finished up my current ones.
NARS
Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla (Light 2)
I received a 1.4ml mini tube of the full
sized concealer. You can purchase it in 1.4ml (£13) and 6ml (£24).
This multi-purpose concealer is supposed
to brighten, correct and perfect with a creamy buildable coverage and radiant
finish.
There were only two shades to choose
from; Vanilla (Light 2) or Custard (Medium 1). I chose Vanilla but I could tell
when it first arrived that it doesn’t have the right undertones for my skin
tone. It has pink undertones and I would say I have more yellow/neutral. I
think the best shade for me would be Chantilly (Light 1). Due to it being the
wrong shade, I can’t really form a proper opinion on it. When I tested it under
my eyes, it did add nice medium to buildable coverage. I would say the formula
is a little dry. I applied it with my finger and blended it out, but it didn’t
look the best. I am guessing it would be better applied with a wet/damp
blending sponge. I’m not sure I will bother getting my correct shade to test,
as I am happy with the concealers I use already and they are a lot cheaper!
MOSCHINO
Toy 2 Perfume
I received a 5ml mini dabber bottle of
the eau de parfum. You can purchase it in 30ml (£46), 50ml (£66) and 100ml (£85).
It contains a mixture of notes such as; Mandarin
Orange, Apple, Magnolia, Peony, White Currant, Jasmine, Sandalwood, Amberwood
and Musk.
The mini bear bottle is incredibly cute!
I’m not overly keen on dabber bottles, but obviously the bottle is too small
for a spritzer. I can really smell the mandarin orange, apple, magnolia, peony
and musk notes. It is definitely a fun fruity scent and it isn’t overly sweet.
It reminds me of a summer getaway. It does last a while on the skin and it is a
light and fresh scent, which it is not overpowering. I was expecting it to be
extremely sweet and headache inducing, but I was completely wrong. The floral
notes do a good job of toning down the sweetness. I am now considering purchasing a full sized
bottle!
NOBLE
ISLE Bath & Shower Gel in Fireside
I received a 50ml mini bottle of the
full sized bath & shower gel. You can purchase it in 250ml for £21.00.
“Fireside
kindles the warm, spicy aromas of a country inn, with vitamin-rich beet extract”
This is a warming and sensual scent
inspired by Mynwy Valley. It has a woody oriental blend containing notes such
as; Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, Black Pepper, Ginger, Oakmoss and Vanilla.
I have previously tried a Noble Isle
body wash (Summer Rising) and I remember it smelling so amazing and luxurious.
This scent kind of smells masculine to me and it reminds me of autumn (my
favourite season). I can really smell the pepper, oakmoss and vanilla notes. It
also has a good lather, so you don’t need to be heavy handed and over apply.
The scent also lingers on your skin long after your shower and dry down. I
think I do still prefer the Summer Rising scent, but I haven’t smelled it in
years! This body wash is definitely luxurious and it smells amazing. I would
love to try some more scents.
BURBERRY
My Burberry Perfume
I received a 5ml mini dabber bottle of
the eau de toilette. You can purchase it in 30ml (£45), 50ml (£60) and 90ml (£86).
It contains a mixture of notes such as; Lemon
Blossom, Sweet Pea, Freesia, Peony, Peach Blossom, Damask Rose, Moss and Musk.
The mini bottle is sweet looking with
its little bow! I can really smell the sweet pea, freesia, peony, rose and musk
notes. It is definitely a soft, fresh floral scent, but it does have a slight
sweetness. It reminds me of spring. It does last a while on the skin and it is
a light and fresh scent, which it is not overpowering. I was expecting it to be
quite a mature floral scent, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn’t. It
is not my typical scent as it is floral, but it smells really lovely and I
wouldn’t be mad at wearing it or smelling it again.
My favourite of the samples is the
MOSCHINO Toy 2 EDP and my least favourite is the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. It
is an amazing service to offer, just like the Pick & Mix and TRY-ME
options. I wish there were more make-up samples to choose from because there
really isn’t that many. Other than that, there aren’t really any downsides. I
would say the Pick & Mix service option is probably the most valuable, but
you could think of the Beauty Kit as an upgrade to that service. I will
definitely use this service again, but I will wait until more make-up samples
are added.
