As you probably all know Glossybox is currently making waves amongst UK beauty fans, sometimes good waves and sometimes bad. However as Glossybox can be rather hit and miss with their samples I thought I would cast my net out and see what other companies are offering.
I was browsing on FeelUnique's website when I stumbled upon an advert for their own beauty box so I signed up and my box came through the other day.
The packaging, as you can see, is not as girly pretty as Glossybox's but it's still pretty slick and certainly re-usable.
You get a little card advising of the products and a little discount code for 10% off the full-size products.
I also got a little note apologising for the delay in the box getting to me and with some extra samples.
The main samples in the box this month are:
Phillip Kingsley Elasticizer- 20ml. A pre- shampoo treatment meant to smooth, strengthen and as the name suggests stretches the hair.
Ella Baché Crème Tomate Vitamin Radiance Cream- 30ml. Face cream containing tomato extracts to purify and brighten the complexion.
Redken Quick Dry 18- 100ml. A firm hold hairspray which gives a healthy shine, perfect handbag size.
Di Palomo Wild Fig & Grape Enriching Hand & Nail Cream- 25ml. A beautiful smelling hand cream with grape seed oil, olive oil and fig fruit extracts to aid the production of healthy skin tissue.
Gatineau Floracil Gentle Cleansing Lotion for Eyes- 50ml. A non-oily cleansing and soothing eye makeup remover containing the same pH as our tears.
The extra products that I was sent were a 1ml sample of Elie Saab perfume and a 3ml sample of Caudalié Vinoperfect Daily Perfecting Fluid.
The samples are all pretty decent and usable and for £10 a month including P&P it's pretty darn decent.
Whether Feelunique will go down the same line as Glossybox and charge P&P remains to be seen but as feelunique.com don't charge for their normal products I very much doubt they will.
I'll certainly get at least 2 more of these boxes to gauge the quality and consistency of the products, as as we all know this is where Glossybox often falls down.
Let me know if any of you girls out there have signed up for the feelunique box and/or any other monthly beauty boxes.
