February's Carmine Box

Hi lovelies,


So today my February Carmine box arrived and Oh La La- it's a corker!


I've always been impressed with Carmine's beauty boxes, they are definitely the best when it comes to make-up products. I only subscribed last month as i use to just buy them as gifts. But i found myself buying the box every month so thought 'what the heck' and just subbed.


This months box has been no exception, once again they have spoiled us!

I had a little nosey at a spoiler (such a sucker for a spoiler) on the Carmine Face Book page on Saturday so i roughly knew what to expect. None the less, it was still a great surprise.

The Contents:


Andrea Fulerton Nail Varnish: Full Size


I received this in a lovely pinky/red shimmery shade.


Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash: Full Size


I've tried a couple of Balance Me products before, their face oil and lip balm so i'm looking forward to trying this as their a brilliant brand.

Steamcream: Full Size


I received the tin with the lovely leopard print! I've heard great things about this cream so i'm dying to try it, was so pleased when i saw this was in the box.


Diego Dalla Palma The Lipstick


A fantastic little tester size of the famous lippie, i received this in the shade 42, which is a lovely beige/rose shade. I love trying out different lipsticks so will be using this.


White Glo Whitening Toothpaste

Oh i've never seen a toothpaste in a beauty box before, it looks great. I currently use Pearl Drops.


Yardley London Peony Fragrance


An added extra, a little sample of the fragrance. A very floral scent, over powering at first but once it dies down- it's ok.

Oh i'm in love with everything from this months box, well done Carmine.




What did you make of this months box?

February's Feel Unique Beauty Box

Well, its finally here...

February's Feel Unique Beauty Box. After what seemed an eternity, the post man finally delivered it this morning. I already knew the contents as i'm a sucker for a spoiler, i'm happy with the contents i received. I think it's a great value box, at £9.95 a month. 

  


Had to put a 'post -it' over my address :)



"Fall in love.. with a new beauty buy, a new look or a new man, with the help of Beauty Box this month."

Decleor Phytopeel Face Peel Cram

"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. It:

- Helps cleanse skin and removes impurities
- Removes dead skin cells
- Helps stimulate the cellular renewal process

Your clean, healthy and smooth skin recovers its even texture and has a healthy glow."

I squeezed some of the contents out the tube and it's silver! Very intrigued about this product.

Philip Kingley Elasticizer

"Philip Kingsley Elasticizer should always form part of your routine to continuously improve or maintain the quality and behaviour of your hair. Extremely broken, damaged hair – whether the result of chemical over processing, physical trauma or poor health, will also improve with concentrated use of Elasticizer. More frequent use of this intensive treatment formula will restore suppleness, elasticity, shine and bounce."

I'm excited about trying this product as i've heard a lot about it.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Usage Dry oil

"Multi-usage dry oil for face, body and hair.

A favourite of Elle’s Beauty Director, Emma Smith:

“Slather this on dry legs as soon as you jump out of the shower to keep your legs smooth and moisturised. It smells delicious.”

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've seen this in a previous Beauty Box.

Elemis Lime and Ginger Hand and Body Wash

"This fresh hand and body wash is a beautiful exotic fragrance of lime, vetiver, petitgrain and ginger essential oils, combined with plant extracts of thyme, nettle and chamomile, in a soya, wheat and milk protein base. This skin friendly formula is deep cleansing, whilst the rich creamy lather is super gentle, leaving your skin feeling fresh, clean, soft and nourished."

Comes in quite a decent sized bottle, 100ml.

Leighton Denny High Performance Colour

"High performance nail colour. Easy to apply, long-lasting and chip resistant. Colour that doesn't fade and keeps a high gloss shine day after day."

I received the colour- Diamond Rose, which is quite a pale pearly pink.


Thre was also a sample of Jean Paul Gaultier KokoRico in the box, which was a nice little extra. The scent itself reminds me a little of something i've smelled before but i can't quite put my finger on it. It's a lovely fragrance though even if it is for men, once it dies down a little.



So there we have it, Feb's Feel Unique box. As i said previously, i'm quite pleased. Theres a good selection of products that i will try out.

What did you think of the box?

A quick update- I received an email today (09/02/2012) from Feel Unique, it basically said that they were ceasing to carry on with their Beauty Box. However, are preparing to launch a new and improved one in the coming months... Stay tuned girls!
