FEELUNIQUE SALE BEAUTY HAUL

Feelunique currently have a massive sale on with up to 50% off, so I decided to treat myself to a few things I've had my eye on for ages. There were so many bargain beauty buys I could of added to my basket, but I held back and only chose things that I have been desperate to try for a while. My package arrived really fast and I'm really pleased with my purchases so far, so I thought I would share with you what I bought.
Firstly, I was after a mask to sort out my congested skin around the chin area and ended up buying two. I spotted the Clarisonic Deep Pore Decongesting Clay Mask which was £16.50 and decided to give this a try after really enjoyed the Clarisonic Deep Pore Brush Head. This mask is suited to oily skin or skin with enlarged pores, you use it twice weekly and it helps to decongest pores. I have already used this once, it's a really thick formula and I like the idea that you leave a thin layer on for 10-15 minutes and then take the mask off using the Clarisonic. My skin instantly looked less irritated and any redness had faded, the clay absorbed all the oil and removed dead skin cells and impurities. They also do a cleanser in this range, which I'm interested in trying.
The other mask I bought was the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal Mask which was £14.00. I have wanted to try this for ages, ever since FleurdeForce raved about it. This is a mask aimed at more dry or distressed skin and helps to nourish and rejuvenate the skin. I think this will be a great mask to apply during the week for a much needed pick me up that will help hydrate the skin. You leave this one on for 10 minutes and First Aid Beauty's range is perfect for even sensitive skins.
I then bought the Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Cream Limited Edition which was £16.80, this has to be the most unnecessary purchase of the haul. I didn't need another body cream, but I'm sure it's going to be a product I'm really going to enjoy and it's a bit of a treat buy. Elemis have created this special edition body cream to celebrate 10 years of the award winning Frangipani Body Oil. The cream is enriched with macadamia oil, sesame oil and Tahitian mono oil, which gives the product it's luxurious scent and leaves the skin hydrated and silky smooth.
My last purchase from feelunique was the Redken All Soft Supple Touch which was £12.11. I have used the Shampoo and Conditioner from the same line before and really enjoyed them, so wanted to try more products from them. I've also been really into leave in treatments and conditioning my hair, especially the ends. This has all the benefits of a cream in a lightweight spray version and improves the lasting condition and shine of your hair, I'm very excited to start using this.
You can currently receive an extra 10% off everything including sale items using the code FINAL10.

GLOSSYBOX - DETOX BEAUTY BOX JANUARY 2013

This month's beauty box was all about detoxing after the Christmas break and adopting a healthier lifestyle. I really like the new leaflet style sheet instead of the regular card that comes inside the box, as I feel it gives you a lot more information about the theme and the products themselves. I feel the products inside really fitted in with the theme and I have really got along with most of them. 
Elemis Fresh Skin, Skin Flow Exfoliating Face Wash, Full-size 100ml £12.00 -  I have seen this line in my local Superdrug before and was tempted, but have never picked anything up. I have tried products from Elemis's regular line and have been impressed with those, so this caught my eye straight away. The fresh skin range is catered to teens to mid-twenties and is good for deep pore cleansing. I really like the fruity scent, it reminds me of the Origins Drink Up Intensive Mask. I find this nice for a deep pore cleanse, it's not too harsh on the skin and leaves my skin brighter and softer.
Duck Island Limited Body Lotion, Full-size 2X250ml £24.95 - I had never really heard of this brand before, but was interested by the mandarin and bergamot scent. I find a little goes a long way, as the moisturiser is quite rich. I normally prefer quite floral or almond scented lotions but this formulation is quite nice after it has absorbed into damp skin. I'm not sure I would buy the full-size version though. 
Jason Lips Bee Healthier Lip Balm, 4.5g £1.99 - I have heard a lot of good things about this brand so I was keen to try them out. Which is the best thing about beauty boxes, discovering new brands! Jason use a lot of natural ingredients, I'm not the biggest fan of the scent (Aloe & Beeswax) but I find it really cooling on the lips. It took me a while to figure out that you twist the top of the tube for more product instead of the usual bottom. (Blonde moment!) It's great for this weather, I would like to try more from the brand, recommendations please! 
Monu Warming Aromatic Mask, Full-size 100ml £24.95 - I have been impressed with other Monu products that I have received in Glossyboxes, so it was nice to see another product from them. Another product suited to the weather to hydrate the skin and wash any impurities away.  I found the packaging quite hard to read due to the colour of the product inside. The texture of the product is really moisturising and I found it nice and calming on my skin due to the lavender scent. I use this when my face needs a pamper.
Premae Skincare Balance Rescue Face Tonique, Full-size 100ml £17.50 - Another brand which I haven't really heard much about. This toner contains lemongrass, sandalwood oil and rose water and is also alcohol free. I don't think much of the packaging, but I found it nice and refreshing on my skin. I love the sample size as it's great for travel, but I much prefer a toner with a spray dispenser. 
This months box also came with a handy 'Glossy Dreams' eye mask which was a nice addition to the Detox themed box. What did you think of this month's products?
