Feelunique December Beauty Box

Hey there my gorgeous ones. I thought I would show you the products that I received in this month's Feelunique Beauty Box which is named 'Finishing Touches'. So here goes.

Left To Right: TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Dust, Link :), Annick Goutal Mandragore Eau De Toilette, Link :), Clarisonic Refining Skin Polish, Link :)

TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Dust ~ £9.35 for 1g

The Information:

TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Dust is a quick fix invisible micro-texture root powder for your style addiction. 

- Instant root lift
- Adds texture with medium hold
- Absorbs oil in the hair

Application:

Use TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Dust on dry hair. Part hair to where you want volume and sprinkle directly onto the roots to absorb oil and tease for instant volume, or sprinkle throughout layers for texture with staying power. Massage into hair using fingertips for instant volume that lasts. 

This has a salt and pepper style container with holes in the top of the lid for the sprinkle action. 

Annick Goutal Mandragore Eau De Toilette ~ £62.05 for 100ml/£43.35 for 50ml

The Information:

A vibrant fragrance that combines the freshness of bergamot, star of anise, peppermint, ginger, boxwood, and mandrake. A magical potion that acts as a soothing balm for the skin.

This is a fragrance intended for men or women on a quest for mystery, sensuality, and elegance.

Top Notes: Bergamot and pepper

Heart Notes: Mint and star anise
Base Notes: Boxwood, ginger and mandrake

I'm not too sure if I like this fragrance. I do like the dark, mysterious looking bottle that it came in. The bottles shown on the feelunique website look very different from this. Quite classic and chic. Maybe the fact that this scent is intended for both men and women is why I am undecided if I like it. I can't seem to put my finger on how I would define this scent. The tassel's on the bag that the perfume came in add to the look. 

Clarisonic Refining Skin Polish ~ £21.00 for 177ml

The Information:

A refining skin polish that exfoliates, firms and smoothes areas of the body needing extra care. For all skin types. Developed by Robb Akridge, PhD, as an intensive, three-tier refining solution specially formulated for sonic cleansing to exfoliate, firm and smooth. Antioxidants Green Tea and wine extracts provide anti-inflammatory properties. Jojoba beads, prickly pear and acai fruit oil hydrate and moisturise. This polish provides gentle exfoliation for areas of the body needing extra care, including the décolleté, hands, arms, elbows and feet. Paraben-free and pH-balanced. 

Application:

Apply generously to face and neck, massaging gently with circular movements and rinse off with warm water. Combine with Clarisonic Cleansing System to remove up to x6 more impurities.

I have always been curious about the Clarisonic, but I just didn't want to pay the price for the system. I wonder if using this product without the exfoliating brush will work any better than the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish? I am looking forward to trying this out though.

Left To Right: Nails Inc. Oxford Circus Limited Edition Nail Polish, Link :), Figs & Rouge Sweet Geranium 100% Organic Balm, Link :)

Nails Inc. Oxford Circus Limited Edition Nail Polish

The Information:

Accessorize nails with the soft pink candy shade of Oxford Circus. This super glossy, chip resistant, professional formula creates a long lasting, beautifully hued shade that gives your look a super stylish edge. Inspired by the busiest trend-led shopping area of London, this is as on trend as can be!

I think this is a really pretty shade that I would definitely wear, but I do already own shades like this. I would have expected a more Xmassy shade in my December box though. Perhaps something metallic or glittery? The bottle is very cute in size, but really quite tiny compared to other bottles I have received in various beauty boxes. The plus is that the shape of this lid looks easier to grip onto than the usual ones that come with the full size Nails Inc. Nail Polishes. I have added the link above when searching for this shade on the feelunique website, but I can not seem to find this actual shade? I know it's limited edition, but I thought it might be on their website at least over Xmas?

Figs & Rouge Sweet Geranium 100% Organic Balm ~ £3.49 for 8ml

The Information:

Brand new organic Soil Association Certified balm. Intensively moisturising and hydrating. Fully recyclable packaging and components.

Application:

Use on lips, face and body for an intensive and organic moisture boost.

Ingredients: Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum parkii, (Shea butter), Cera alba, Rosa canina, Fruit Oil, Calendula officinalis, Flower Extract, Pelargonium graveolens, Caranga odorata Oil. Benzyl Alcohol*, Citral*, Eugenol*, Benzyl salicylate, Geraniol Farresol linalool Benzoate citonelloi, limonene (*Naturally occuring component of essential oils).

100% organic is great. I love the look of the vintage tin. This has a herbal scent to it.

 Living Nature Samples Left To Right: Vitalising Cleanser, Link :), Extra Hydrating Toning Gel, Link :), Nourishing Day Cream, Link :)

Living Nature Vitalising Cleanser ~ £17.45 for 100ml

I am happy to try this cleanser, but it's quite a small sample so I probably wouldn't buy the full size based on how my skin works with this due to the price.

I am looking for a new face moisturiser so maybe this product will amaze me?

So my thoughts on this month's box are this. I am happy to try the Clarisonic Refining Skin Polish and even the samples from the Living Nature range. The Nails Inc. Oxford Circus Limited Edition Nail Polish is a shade I like, but nothing new. The TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Dust and the Figs & Rouge Sweet Geranium 100% Organic Balm are similar to products that I have received in other beauty boxes that I have received recently so unfortunately this is not a stand out box for me.
