Feel Unique February Beauty Box

I absolutely loved this box. Out of the three I've received from them since December this has been my favourite but sadly it's also the last!  :(

A few days after this box arrived I received an email from Feel Unique to inform me that they were stopping the Beauty Box service.  I'm feeling very sad about this as I only discovered it a few months ago and I've found it to be one of the better services.  It's been consistently good and I haven't had any issues with the service at all.

However, on the bright side they also hinted at having something bigger and better in the works.  So I'll be keeping my ears open for any future news!

Butter London Artful Dodger

I picked up two gorgeous Butter London polishes on a recent shopping trip to Manchester.  I've been lusting after many of their polishes so I was really excited to finally see them for the first time in a store.  It was purely by accident that I saw these whilst browsing the beauty clearance section in Debenhams.  In the flesh the colours are stunning, more so than any picture I had seen on the net.  It was hard to choose but I picked out Thames, which I will review at a later time, and Artful Dodger.

Losing My Lush Virginity!

Yes, it's true!  Up until 10 days ago I was a Lush virgin!  I've walked past Lush shops in the past and the smell is always amazing yet I hadn't actually stepped foot inside to explore.  One of my best friends, on the other hand, is a complete Lush devotee and it's thanks to her that I'm turning into a total Lushie myself!

As it was my birthday last month I decided to treat myself to a few (!!) products.

I love using face masks and the feel of my skin afterwards so I knew I needed to try one from Lush.  The one that suited my skin type best was Oatifix (£5.75 / 75g).  This contains lots of loveliness such as oats (of course!), mashed bananas and ground almonds. It smells so delicious just like porridge and it's so tempting to have a little nibble! It has a nice thick texture and, as you need to store it in the fridge to keep it fresh, it's cool and soothing when applied.  It's just right for my dry and very sensitive skin leaving it super soft, although as with almost every face mask I've tried I can't apply it to my amazingly sensitive cheeks!
