Cult Beauty Spring 2017 Goody Bag

As ever Cult Beauty's Spring 2017 Goody Bag, which was worth over £210 and free with a £110 spend sold out in record time. I picked up pressies and two things for me. The goody bag is so good and I'm looking forward to testing everything out.

The two things that I bought:

I needed new tweezers and I'd heard lots of good things about these ones by Swiss Brand, Rubis. At goody bag time I always stock up on my favourite Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts - I've been using these since 2013 and if I could only use one bath product - it would be these! See my review HERE.

And now for a closer look at the goody bag:

The BrowGal Eyebrow Gel (Full size) £17

Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Gilded Honey (sample size)

Sigma Mini Blending Brush E25 (as you'll see I've already used it!)

Beauty Bakerie Lip Whip in Versailles (Full size) £16 - Cult Beauty say this is "mauve pink" but it's brown on my lips. Not in love with the colour but love the staying power - will look at other colours for sure.

Farmacy Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask (Cucumber Deep Moisture) x 1 £8

Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm 15ml (already a fan)

Hannes Dottir Seamasque 10ml (looking forward to trying)

Tata Harper Purifying Cleanser 15ml

Odacite Pimple Serum Concentrate 5ml (full size) £27.50

Verso Super Facial Serum 10ml 

SkynIceland Plumping Lip Gel x 1 use

Alpha H Liquid Gold 24 hr Moisture Repair Cream 15ml

BECCA First Light Priming Filter 6ml

Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Cell Revitalise Night Moisturiser 20ml

OUAI Haircare Wave Spray 30ml

Sachajuan Hair Repair 100ml (worth £12)

Feel Unique: Pick 'n' Mix: November 2016

Here's what I picked this month from Feel Unique's pick 'n' mix service (costing £3.95 which is redeemable on your next purchase  - how good is that!)

The first thing which jumped out at me was bareminerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Maverick 2.25ml which is such a great size! A beautiful gloss with a hint of colour. I'm in love with this!

My second pick is a 5ml mini tube of Givenchy's Hydra Sparkle Velvet Luminescence Moisturising Cream which is suitable for normal/combination skin. Looking forward to trying this out.

My final three picks are sachets: Sachajuan Overnight Hair Repair 10ml (I'm always looking for the perfect hair product) so I'm looking forward to trying. I used to use Paul Mitchell's shampoos all the time so their Awapuhi Shampoo 7.4ml is a trip down memory lane! Bliss's multi-'face'-eted all in one anti-ageing clay mask 4g which I picked as I liked the sound of it.

Feel Unique: Pick 'n' Mix: October 2016

My Feel Unique Pick 'n' Mix arrived yesterday:

My choices this month:

ArmaniPrima Glow-on Moisturising Balm 7g which is a great trial size sample pot. Looking forward to testing this out.

I'm always looking for the perfect haircare so I'm looking forward to trying Shu Uemura's Silk Bloom Restorative Shampoo (15ml) and Restorative Treatment (15ml).

I'm a huge fan of Atelier cologne and grapefruit scents so had to try Pomelo Paradis cologne. The sample vial comes wrapped with a postcard which is a nice touch.

Another haircare pick Leonor Greyl Masque Orchidee (16ml) for Very dry, thick or frizzy hair.

My final pick this month is 0.17 fl oz sachet of Sachajuan Ginger Flower Body Wash which is scented with bergamot and lemon.

Brummells of London: Samples

Brummells of London offer a great sample service. You can choose up to five samples (varying costs although none are more than £2) and if you set up an account you can join their Exquisitely Loyal scheme.  

For every pound you spend on samples you will collect £1 worth of points to spend on your next order.  There is also a huge range of full size products available.

Samples I think are a fantastic way to try before you buy.  Here's what I chose:

Czech & Speake Rose Cologne 1ml - this has a true rosey scent. Bourbon rose with geranium, mimosa, ylang ylang and patchouli. Full size now on the wishlist!

Hotel Costes No.1 Bath Flakes 10g - I've wanted to try these like forever! The flakes give a gentle foam and are scented with the Hotel Costes signature scent.

Sachajuan Color Save Shampoo 5ml and Hair Repair 5ml - I've yet to try this brand and am always on the lookout for new hair care.

Penhaligon's Juniper Sling EDT 1.5ml - this scent is inspired by London Dry Gin so I knew I'd have to try it!

What do you think of the samples I chose?  Have you used any of these products before?
