Feel Unique: Beauty Kit: Verso, Charlotte Tilbury, Darphin, Le Prunier, Philosophy

After last month's brilliant choices (review) I couldn't wait to make my picks again for Feel Unique's newish Beauty Kit (5 deluxe samples for £12, plus £3.95 (p&p) - the p&p returned to you in the form of a code for a subsequent purchase). This month my picks ml by ml are worth over £40! Your products come packed in a pouch which is useful for holidays/weekends away (I'd personally just prefer to receive one with your 1st order but it arrives every month).

And for a closer look..

Verso Foaming Cleanser 25ml (worth £9) I've tried a few products from this brand but not the cleanser so a review will follow!

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Fair 0.8g which is the cutest mini ever! I picked this one last month too. Perfect handbag size for touch-ups on the go (it is paler than the photo).

Darphin Tangerine Aromatic Care 4ml (worth £11.20) the oil has an exquisite zesty orange scent. I've been enjoying using this one - and would definitely pick up full size. It's a delight.

Totally new to me brand is Le Prunier and this little 3.7ml bottle of Plum Beauty Oil is worth a whopping £20.30! I'm looking forward to testing it out. I love that it's a multi-use product - you can also use it the ends of your hair before blow drying or to smooth flyaways when dry. A review will come!

My final item is Philosophy's Amazing Grace Magnolia EdT 15ml (worth £7.35) which is a fresh floral - just perfect for spring. Again, a review to come!

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)

Molton Brown Rosa Absolute Bath & Shower Gel 30ml - I'd been wanting to try this range since trying out the perfume recently. It's really lovely and smells deeply of roses.

Bloomtown Botanicals The Meadow Pink Himalayan Bath Soak 285g** - I'm a huge fan of soaks in the bath and these salts are gorgeous. See my review HERE. I'll pick these up when my stash reduces.

Cult Beauty: Purchases & Spring Goody Bag

I'd recently tweeted Cult Beauty to ask when they were running their next Goody Bag GWP offer. They told me to keep my eyes peeled.  It was available a few days later and my order arrived yesterday!  The Cult Beauty Goody Bags are always my favourite.

I picked a couple of items (and something from my friend Julie's birthday - it's absent from the photo as she reads my blog!)  The spend is £100 (easy to do) and the Goody Bag is worth over £150!)

My picks:

I first tried the Stila One Step Correct (£24) way back August 2012 when Julie managed to get me one of the amazing Selfridges Beauty Boxes. It colour-corrects, brightens, helps to cover imperfections, makes the skin look lovely and is a great primer. I loved it before...so I know I'll love it again!

My second item is the amazing Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel (£29.50). I've said it before and I'll say it again every Oskia product I've tried I've loved. I really love this beautiful cleanser and I'm very pleased to have it back in my stash. See my review HERE.

The Goody Bag  (as always is fantastic). Inside is:

Cult Beauty Exclusive: Full Size: DNA Renewal Eye Renewal 20ml (worth £44)

Cult Beauty Exclusive: VERSO Reviving Eye Mask (single sachet)

Exclusive Preview (still to launch on Cult Beauty): skyn Iceland Blemish Dots

Exclusive Preview (still to launch at Cult Beauty): SkinOwl Neck Plus (0.5oz)

Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist 30ml

Aurelia Priobiotic Skincare Miracle Cleanser 30ml + Bamboo Cloth

MV Organic Skincare Pure Jojoba: Full Size 35ml (worth £29)

Goldfaden MD Doctor's Scrub 0.25oz

Zelens 3t Complex 15ml

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask 15ml

Reviews will follow!  Did you indulge?

NET-A-PORTER The Holiday Kit

One of my friends on facebook flagged up this amazing beauty box (now sold out) which was available at NET-A-PORTER.COM. Costing only £60 with £5 P&P. I ordered on Wednesday night and it arrived yesterday.

It contains 14 luxury full and travel sizes.  The Earth Tu Face Balm retails for $68 (round about £43). This is a brand I've not heard of before.  So I'm keen to try it out!

The packaging is super luxe, lots of tissue, ribbon and a total joy to open.  I felt like all my Christmasses had come at once!  The box comes with a little tape measure in a branded bag so you can take your measurements before buying clothes online.

Everything comes neatly packed in branded bubble bags (you can also chose to get your goodies in plain brown boxes for easy recycling if you are fed up of the luxe packaging, as if!)

WOW!

Erno Laszlo Phelityl Pre-Cleansing Oil 15ml and Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar mini. I've tried the pre-cleansing oil before and loved it. Keen to try the cleansing bar too.

Renouve Anti-Aging Everyday Defence Hand Sanitiser No.1 - Gold 30ml (£22) - this anti-ageing hand sanitiser is free from alcohol and parabens.

B The Eyebrow Experts Eyebrow Gel - Clear (£15) - great to tame unruly brows. Nourishes and doubles up as a clear mascara.

Verso Day Cream 15ml trial size - rejuvenating day cream which stimulates collagen production and can help to reduce the signs of ageing. Vitamin B3 boosts luminosity.

Tata Harper Rejuventating Serum 15ml (£40) - I've tried a few Tata Harper products but not this serum. It helps to combat signs of ageing, boost elasticity and minimise pores.

Susanne Kaufmann Shower/Shampoo 50ml (£10.50) - a brand I've not heard of before. This washes and conditions your hair and body. Great for rushed mornings and travel.

ILIA Tinted Lip Conditioner - bang bang (£22) - my first Ilia product. This tinted red sheer lippy is gorgeous!  Very happy.

Earth Tu Face Balm 25g (£43) - another brand I've not heard of before. Great for dehydrated or stressed skin. Smells gorgeous too!

Chantecaille Liquid Lumiere Anti-Ageing Face Illuminator - Sheen 23ml (£33) - can be worn alone or under foundation for a youthful glow and even skin tone.

Show Beauty Divine Thickening Lotion 150ml (£40) - a thickening lotion which adds volume and shine without weighing your hair down. This has super luxe packaging.

Malin+Goetz Vitamin b5 Body Moisturizer 29ml trial size - an intense moisturiser which absorbs quickly hydrating the skin.

De Mamiel Salvation Body Oil 30ml trial size - huge de Mamiel fan so can't wait to try this. Scented with Ylang Ylang, Rosewood and Jasmine. edit: tried and loved! I'm a huge fan of the rosey Lip Balm.

This Works Sleep Plus Pillow Spray 5ml - great if you have trouble relaxing and are restless throughout the night (me some nights!). Looking forward to testing this out.

What an amazing box. Did you pick one up? What are your thoughts as to the contents?
