Hi girls :)

Yesterday I've visited Westfield White City in London and got so many new things! My first stop was Inglot store. I never know where to look first because there are so many colours everywhere. I didn't plan to buy anything, just to look around but there was this young male sales assistant who was really knowledgeable and didn't stop talking :D He showed me almost everything and I ended up buying loose powder in shade #11 and Cream Concealer in shade #34.

My next stop was LUSH where I picked up the legendary Lemony Flutter (I love it by the way!). I had 5 black pots which I could exchange for fresh mask but I don't like to use their face masks so I've asked if I could get some discount towards the Lemony Flutter (not whole £5.75 of the mask price) but I was said it is not possible :(

I also visited Superdrug and Boots in case they would have some bottles of Max Factor Fantasy Fire but they didn't. But what they did have was the White Barry M Foundation which will be great for making some of my foundations a bit lighter to suit me better. I also got a very generous sample of No.7 BB Cream for Dry/Normal skin.

My next purchase was Bliss duo including 200ml Daily Detoxifying Facial Toner and 197ml Fabulous Foaming Face Wash at Debenhams. This was an amazing deal! RRP was £46.10 and I purchased it for £13.83!!! I had a look on Bliss stand and the Foaming Face Wash alone was sold for over £18!

It wouldn't be me if I wouldn't pick up some nail polishes, right? I got KIKO glitter polish #231 which was on sale for £1.50 and then shade #254 for regular price.

My last and longest stop was at Twinings tea bar. I love tea so I've spent there about an hour chatting about tea and tasting different types. I bought three loose teas - Yunnan (black), Traditional English (black) and Gunpowder Green and Mint (Green tea and Mint) and small tea infuser.


 So that's all my purchases :)

When I was visiting House Of Fraser, look what I found at Deborah Lippmann stand - Mermaid's Dream! This is just one coat and I wanted to buy it straight away (despite the £14 price tag) but they didn't have any left :(

February GlossyBox

And here is my February GlossyBox! I wasn't overly impressed with this one...quite disappointed actually. The only thing I'm keeping is the Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap in Hemp Citrus Orange. My Paul Mittchell item is for curly hair and since I have very straight hair, this is a miss. Next item is DuWop Venom Gloss - I don't wear lip glosses so this one goes to swap box too, I won't even try it. Then there was a BM Beauty loose eyeshadow in kind of a lighter 'sweet sienna' shade. Very nice but I have sweet sienna which is much better pigmented. Last sample is INVIGORATING Lotion from COMO Shambhala. Too much of lavender in it :-/ (yes, I'm fussy about smells :D)

Despite being dissapointed with this box, I'm not complaining because I had it for free by redeeming 1000 Glossydots.

Hello girlies :)

New month, new beauty boxes! Yay! It's time to review FeelUnique's February Beauty Box. This one was really good, I think most people will like it :) Unfortunately this was last FeelUnique box :( FU Beauty box service is finishing and I am really really sad :(

So what was in the box?

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer - 'Improve or maintain the quality & behaviour of your hair with this amazing cult treatment loved by the beauty industry! Great for over-processed, dry and damaged hair, the more frequent use of this intensive treatment formula wills the more restorative the result!' I've tried this product before and I can remember my hair was nice and smooth. Don't know what the big hype is about but it's quite good treatment. Sample size has 40ml valued at £5.95 (full size 150ml, £22.30)

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.' I won't be trying this shower gel because I don't like the scent. So I can't really tell you anything about it except that it has 100ml which values at £6.13 (full size 300ml, £18.40).

Decleor Phytopeal Face Peel Cream - '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' I've got quite generous 15ml sample but haven't tried it yet. I personally prefer peelings/exfoliators because my dry skin gets flaky every other day.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse - 'Multi-usage dry oil for face, body and hair.' There has been a big hype about this dry oil since it first appeared in the GlossyBox. It smells lovely, almost like Johnson's Baby Oil I use. I've tried it on my hand and it felt the same too except it absorbed faster. Sample has 10ml, value of £2.83 (100ml costs £28.30).

Leighton Denny mini nail polish in Diamond Ivory - this shade is for french manicure. I will try to use it in a manicure and review it in a separate post. Mini size has 4.6ml which values at £5 (full size 12ml, £13.25 at FeelUnique.com)

Kokorico by Jean Paul Gaultier - this is an extra sample we got in our boxes, it's a 1ml perfume sample in a black vial with pump. The scent is very spicy, woody. 50ml retails for £31.05

There is a 10% discount code for all these products featured in the box, just use code BBFEB10B at the checkout. Expires 18/03/2012


I will miss you FeelUnique boxes!!!
