FeelUnique Beauty Kit #1

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.

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shimmer
