Harvey Nichols-Free Gift with Purchases

Another short post to let you know that Harvey Nichols ‘Biggest Ever Gift with Purchase’ celebrating 15 years of Beyond Beauty is now on online or in store.  It is worth over £600 and free when you spend £195 or more on three or more Beyond Beauty products, while stocks last – please see photo below of what is in the free goody bag and the link here for further details.

*gwp-featured-image.jpg

Harvey Nichols states that it features ‘a bespoke illustration by acclaimed London artist, Jo Ratcliffe, the roomy tote contains all manner of cult Beyond Beauty goodies, including plenty of full-size products from the likes of Foreo, Rodial, Mario Badescu and James Read Tan’.  It definitely looks very good.

I understand it is a high value spend but if there are products you need, wanted to try, or have gifts you need to get – good time to get them if you can, while this impressive free gift with purchases goodie bag is available – from past experience the free gift with purchase goodie bags do not last long and because this appears to be an better one they may go even quicker.

Hope you found this useful – As I love free gifts (especially beauty gifts) with purchase and also want you to know about them as soon as possible I am considering making it a featured page which I will update as and when I see any – love to hear if this is something you would be interested in or welcome any other comments you may have.

If you are not a follower would love you to subscribe / follow my blog too – would mean a lot.

Thank you – take care.

PUR Eye Polish in ‘Satin’ Review

Currently one of my favourite eye make up products is the Pur Eye Polish  (£17). There are 6 shades available and the one I have tried and loved is ‘Satin’, a beautiful everyday creamy neutral / light rose gold shade – however I intend to try some of  the other shades v soon:

img_1782

Shades:

  • Cashmere – Decadent metallic champagne beige.
  • Caviar – Black with golden shimmer.
  • Satin – Creamy golden nude with hints of pink metallic.
  • Silk – Warm iridescent copper.
  • Suede – Earthy brown with a metallic finish.
  • Velvet – Metallic amethyst.

Directions for Use:

  • Using the flat, flexible, pointed Latex-free Silicone applicator, pat or lightly press, Eye Polish on the eyelid.
  • You can sweep eye shadow over top or in the crease to add dimension.

As a Top Coat:

  • Using the Latex-free Silicone applicator, apply Eye Polish on top of powder eye shadows on the centre of the lid.
  • Press Eye Polish in the inner corner of the lid to make the eyes pop or along the lower lash line for a sultry look.
  • Eye Polish can also be applied with a liner brush for a metallic liner or buffed into the crease using a utility or crease brush.

The PUR Cosmetics Eye Polish  can be used as a primer / base for most eye shadows, worn on its on own as a subtle creamy shimmery shade or as a top coat.  I personally also use a primer as well but either way I find this eye polish is very long lasting, does not budge or crease throughout the day.    I love wearing it just with the primer but it is also the perfect base.   I love the way it highlights your eyes, is so easy to apply and so comfortable to wear.

The creamy cushioned formula eye polish comes in a screw top jar with a silicone applicator.  There is ‘netting’ protecting the polish and I find that at the beginning I prefer to put the polish on with my fingers by patting / pressing gently on the eyelids and you can easily build your colour up that way too, there is no fall out although you need to be careful where you apply it, as it is long lasting so if you go slightly outside your eyelid by mistake, you need to remove it as soon as possible or you will need to use an eye makeup remover to remove completely.  However as you use the product up  I find it is  easier to use the silicone applicator as it is then difficult to get the product out because of the net covering.  You can also apply the polish very easily with the applicator but it just takes a bit more practice.

I absolutely love this product and it is now a staple in my makeup collection and would highly recommend trying – the only v slight negative is when the product is nearly finished it is more difficult to get the remainder of the polish out (photo below shows my new / unused eye polish on the left – when new the product is near the top) so if there was some way that you could remove the interior section / netting it would be absolutely perfect.

img_1788

This product is one I will always repurchase but as always I search for the best offers available prior to purchasing – currently there are no specific offers on but is available to purchase on a number of online stores including  Feel Unique and Beauty Bay (although they do have regular offers on and you can choose samples at checkout on both these sites with set spend) – however  both sites are currently out of stock of the ‘Satin’ shade (so glad I have a spare one and hope it will be back in stock v soon)- however they have the ‘Cashmere’ shade in stock which looks the nearest colour to Satin and is the shade I think I will also try next. 

Hope you found this helpful and look forward to any comments you may have – if you are not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot.

Thank you – take care and hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Two sets of coloured ‘pins’ – worth £6 –two rose goldtone / green pins and one round pink / orange and rose goldtone pin – perfect for adding that little extra detail to your jacket, coat, shirt, scarf or cap  love the inclusion of these as well ;

Crayon Khol Terrybly By Terry, ‘No 15 – Gold Ornament’–  full size  worth £24 – over the moon this was included in this months box, not just because of the brand, By Terry has excellent quality products, but also because I love eyeliners – it is a gorgeous gold colour – perfect for autumn/ winter and party season as well – beautiful, creamy and long lasting – have not got a colour like this in my collection either which is another bonus;

img_1825

Polaar ‘The Genuine Lapland Hand Cream’– full size – 16.90 Euro – have not opened it as it is sealed  and have so many hand creams to use up at the moment – however received this brand in another box and found their products v hydrating – perfect for the winter time so looking forward to trying;

My Little Beauty ‘Save My Nails’– full size – worth £7 – described as a strengthening reviving treatment – not got a chance to try it yet but has a lovely sweet fragrance; and

img_1829

A ‘Coffee’ Stencil was also included – no price but a great addition, perfect for using to add a design when sprinkling a little chocolate on top of your coffee.

Once again I am delighted with this month’s box  – great variety of items / brands included this month – definitely one of my favourite monthly beauty boxes, if not my favourite at the moment.  Will definitely continue my subscription to this box, currently looking at my other monthly subscription boxes  to see which ones I may cancel for a while as just have so many products to use up.    I would definitely recommend subscribing to this box, not just for the variety of products included, love that beauty products are included, but because the addition of the accessory items adds that little extra – look forward to the surprise each month.

Feelunique Pick’N’Mix Service/Samples

kellyklk's avatarBeauty Fashion Chit Chat

Another great way to obtain ‘free’ samples / try products at the moment is through the Feelunique’s Pick ‘N’ Mix Service.

You can pick five ‘free’ samples from a selection of samples  available while stocks last – you are charged £3.95 for shipping and handling fees although you can redeem this against any future order  (excluding Pick ‘n’ Mix) via a £3.95 gift voucher you receive in your follow-up email.  Therefore although you initially have to pay for shipping & handling as this can be redeemed against future orders and as long as you do place a future order you really are getting your sample selection for ‘free’. 

However you can only access one Pick ‘N’ Mix selection per month and the £3.95 code you receive cannot be redeemed against the shipping and handling costs for future Pick ‘N’ Mix selection(s).

I chose the following five samples as already have tried and love…

AESOP Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash

As our hands are so hard-working we wash / cleanse them frequently on a daily basis which is why I have always been on the look out for a gentle effective hand wash that does the job, protects against the elements, eliminates unwanted smells, cleanses hands properly and treats your hands with care.  So was delighted when a few months ago I found in my opinion the near perfect product – the Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash.

 

Described as a superior cleansing gel for hard-working hands and gentle enough for frequent use.  This product is enhanced with botanical extracts or Range, Rosemary and Lavender.  The anti-bacterial properties of Mandarin and Rosemary extracts help to cleanse, while Lavender assists skin in feeling soothed and hydrated.  A gel which is especially good for hands prone to dryness.

ApplicationMassage a small amount into wet hands and rinse thoroughly.


It comes in a 500 ml hard plastic bottle with pump applicator and costs £27 – this in my opinion is the only one slight negative, it is expensive, but as it takes so little product each time and because of the results I believe it is worth it.

It is a clear liquid with a beautiful refreshing clean natural fragrance, not over powering and the Lavender fragrance is not overly strong either, which I prefer as I am not a fan of Lavender fragranced products.  You only need one pump and once you add water to the cleanser it turns to a slightly milky consistency and it cleanses your hands thoroughly and effectively, no unwanted scents remain on your hands and it does not leave your hands dry.  As you wash your hands the fragrance of the product develops and envelopes you and the room you are in.  This is a brilliant product for cleansing and removing any strong cooking smells, for example onions and also any outdoor or pet scents.

I definitely would recommend this product especially  for frequent washing, after cooking, working outside,  working with animals,  or any occasion where you just need to cleanse remove any strong scents from your hands.   Although I do not find this product drying on the hands I still use hand cream on a regular basis, after each wash as with washing your hands so much you need hand cream to protect them.  My favourite is the L’Occitane Hand cream – I will let you know all about this product on another post shortly.

As you can see above I now love this product and as always I look out for the best offers available when purchasing (two of out of the three above are now empty).  You can purchase from a number of online stores and have included two below which I hope you find helpful.

  • SPACENK UK:, – £27 – no free gifts, discount offers on at the moment – however currently free shipping when you spend £40 or more and three free samples – however remember to sign up or go through Topcashback  first to get cashback on your purchase (please see link here for further details);
  • MANKIND: – £27 – free UK shipping and currently when you spend £50 or above you get a free gift from Mio worth £25– if this offer finished always search for a new one before purchasing.

Look forward to any comments you may have.

LATESTINBEAUTY – Build Your Own Box

Another way you can try a number of beauty products is by creating your own custom beauty box through Latestinbeauty‘Build Your Own Box’ –  perfect way to treat yourself or get as a gift(s) as excellent value for money.

You can choose from three box options; Box 1 – 3 products for £8.99, Box 2 – 6 products for £12.99 and Box 3 – 9 products for £16.99 plus £3.95 for p & p unless a free shipping offer is on at the time you are purchasing.  There are a mixture of full size and travel size beauty products to select from.  As you would expect some products, especially full size items, sell out pretty quickly, however selection of products is updated / refreshed on a regular basis.

I have purchased different versions of the  Build Your Own boxes in the past, depending on the choice of products that were available to select / purchase at that time.  I have included details of my most recent selection below which I received last week.

img_1766

This time I chose Box 3 as the selection of products available to chose from included a number of items I wanted to try, already liked and majority were full size items, so this was the most reasonable way to purchase/ try them – excellent value for money.

I selected / received the following items:

Rituals Mini Under A Fig Tree Fragrance Sticks – 50ml – Comes In a Box – Worth £14.50 ;


Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo – 75ml – 250ml is worth 18.00;

Molton Brown Frankincense & Allspice Hand Wash300ml is worth £18.00;

Rodial Stem Cell Cleansing Cream – 70ml – only able to see in sets at the moment;

Eyeko Black Magic Mascara in Midnight Blue – 4ml – Travel Size in Box – Full Size worth £18 – I received black although ordered blue but going to contact Latestinbeauty about this – I found their customer service is excellent;

Garnier Miracle Sleeping Cream – 50 ml – Full size sealed in box – worth £12.99 but reduced in a number of online stores;

Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3-in-1 Cleanser – 90ml – worth £8.50;

Eucerin Transparent Sun Spray SPF30 – 200ml – worth £16.50; and

The Green Parent Natural Beauty Bible 2016 – not included in box and will contact Latestinbeauty about this however do not really need or want it now as have now seen what it actually is, a friend had already received it and I thought it might have been a book but it is only a magazine so unless you really want to receive it, I would recommend selecting another item instead.

I also received a free 111Skin Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask (1 mask – FULL SIZE) worth £20 as there was a special offer on when I purchased, a free mask with any purchase – even though this particular offer is now finished, Latestinbeauty do have regular offers.

I definitely would recommend checking out the Build Your Own Beauty Box range, as there usually is a great variety of brands and products available(to choose from), excellent value for money, great way to try products and perfect as gifts as well.  Remember though that some products may go out of stock v quickly, although stock is refreshed / updated on a regular basis.

Hope you found this helpful and would love to hear if you have, or are thinking of purchasing one of these boxes.

 If you are not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot.

Thank you – take care.
