Exciting New Beauty Box Archives

It seems like Beauty Boxes are really making a comeback in 2017, I felt like they started to feel very same same as so many beauty box companies were including identical products. There was very little variety and that, for me, led to them not being exciting to receive. That being said the few boxes I’ve had this year have been well put together and I have discovered some fantastic brands. So Feelunique have introduced Powered by Feelunique which offers a stellar line-up of carefully curated Beauty boxes.

I have been testing out their latest release the Universal Beauty Box which contains a really great selection of makeup from all corners of the globe, with everything from a vegan and halal certified eyeliner to a finishing powder suitable for all skin tones and types. It is an exciting mixed bag of products, none of which I have used before and quite a few brands are also new to me.

Nude by Nature Translucent Loose Finishing Powder 10g
The Pro Hygiene Collection Antibacterial Makeup Spray 15ml
Bourjois Rouge Edition Souffle De Velvet Lipstick 8ml – Coquelic’oh!
Elizabeth Arden Lasting Impression Mascara Black 2.5ml
Laura Geller Beauty Spackle Treatment Hydrating Make-Up Primer 59ml
PHB Ethical Beauty – Eye liner Pencil 4g – Black

I am very excited about trying the Nude by Nature Translucent Powder and I am hoping this is going to help keep my makeup in place as well as give me that soft focus finish. The powder feels very finely milled so I think it will be quite lightweight on the skin. The packaging is very practical too, it has a mesh which acts like a cushion and only allows a small amount of powder through at a time so if like me you are super clumsy and mineral products can often get quite messy this will help with wastage and spillage. You get a whopping 10g of product and loose powders always last me such a long time.

The Bourjois Rouge Edition Souffle De Velvet Lipstick is in a stunning red shade, I like that it’s quite sheer (but buildable) and has a velvet matte finish. I really think this red would look great on everyone. Very excited to try this and take it away with me to Amsterdam.

I love trying out new mascara and I have heard mixed reviews about this Elizabeth Arden Lasting Impression Mascara. The wand is quite big but tapered and it promised to grab every lash helping separate, lift and lengthen. So I like the sound of that. The formula contains Ceramides (1,3, and 6) plus vitamin C to help reinforce and restore lashes natural protective barrier. Avocado and olive oils condition lashes and help seal moisture while building length for a defined, silky lash look. Its a decent travel size and I am looking forward to seeing how I get on with it.

The contents of this box are worth £75 but it is RRP £28! Out of the 6 products in this box 4 are full sized and the other 2 are deluxe samples, so that is incredible value for money. Let me know if you have tried any of the Feelunique Best of Beauty Boxes & if you are planning on treating yourself to this latest release.

*This post contains PR samples but all words and thoughts are my own.

FYI – The small Caudalie sample is not included in this beauty box, it snuck in there whilst I was taking photos & I completely forgot about it.

When I saw this new box on the lovely Stephanie’s blog last week I knew I had to snap one up. It’s the Try it Love it (Tili) Beauty Box from QVC and before you ask if there is really room for another beauty box on the market – just take a look at the contents! Its jam packed full of luxurious, current must have beauty products.

This box is a complete bargain, the contents are worth over £60 but is selling for only £20 with free shipping. You get such value for money and the brands in this box are all premium brands. I’ve never tried anything from Alpha-H, Becca or Nexxus so I’m thrilled to try those brands out. You get 8 products in the box and it is a nice balance of skincare, haircare and makeup. Unlike most beauty boxed there are no meh products and I’m actually (very) excited to try every single product.

In your box:

Essie Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers (13.5ml) – a classic sheer pink
Nexxus Nutritive Shampoo (89ml) – enriched with a Caviar Complex, this hydrating shampoo that gives dry hair a thorough cleanse while delivering moisture from roots to tips
Nexxus Nutritive Conditioner (89ml) – infused with pure elastin protein and a Caviar Complex, this restorative conditioner helps to maintain your hair’s natural protective barrier to leave it feeling balanced and flexible
Vita Liberata Phenomenal Mousse and Mini Mitt (25ml) – a fast-drying self-tanning mousse designed to last up to three weeks
Elemis Smart Cleanse Micellar Water (50ml) – a lightweight cleansing water that removes make-up, dirt and impurities from the skin to leave your complexion looking radiant and feeling refreshed.
Alpha-H Liquid Gold (50ml) – an overnight exfoliating formula to refresh and revitalise tired and dull skin, reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles and minimise the appearance of pores
Bareminerals Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion (7.5ml) – a lightweight, hybrid serum designed to help revitalise and protect your skin from environmental elements and leave it looking luminous
Becca Backlight Priming Filter (6ml) – this weightless primer gives illuminating coverage, blurring the appearance of imperfections to create a flawless, dewy canvas

So yes, I think there is more than room for this Beauty Box amongst all the more established ones & they may just have raised the bar in terms of value for money and the quality of brands included.

This months Tili Beauty Box is still available but be quick as I have a feeling it will sell out soon. Although if you miss out on the September box, keep your eyes peeled for our second box, coming this October. I can’t wait to see what treats they have in store for us next month.
