the February BEAUTEQUE sweethearts bag

hi there ,
I'm sorry I've been missing ,promotion at work and nice weather has got me busy .
but today i am showing you my latest bag that turned up at the weekend ,
the FEBRUARY beauteque bag from the monthly subscription.
now i am going to mention about the length of waiting for this bag at the end of my post ,sore subject.
find the subscription bag service here -MONTHLY BAG
so the SWEETHEARTS BAG,
was shipped at the beginning of February and i've long got fed up waiting for it to arrive ,each month we are sent a survey at the beginning of the month with a few select choices to pick,then beauteque add extras in to make a complete bag of like 8 products in total. 
so this is what the card reads on opening.



my bag .the contents came in a black bag but I'm getting reactions from the nylon bags with my eyes,sinus and asthma,so I'm having to throw them away,this month was a black bag.



UN bagged,



HAIR SPA TOWEL.$9.99
this is a cool towel that you put in to a hair turban to dry your hair after washing.
i got a yellow one.




A'PIEU NONOCO TEATREE EMULSION.$12.99
a good sized tea tree cream, its not thick quite light and very good for soothing the skin, with natural tee tree.ingredients include,sage ,rosemary,chamomile,peppermint,lavender.
used after toning on the face this is a gentle but moisturising cream ,ideal for using over night on spots and blemishes.



TONY MOLY,PETIT ART PERFUME MIST,$12.00
i opted for the green edition of this perfume mist.
with green tea,its light and fresh.a leave a great crisp scent on the body all day, i really like this.



IT'S SKIN MANGO WHITE LIP AND EYE REMOVER,$5.00
my oh my ,these smell wonderful.these are gentle but really good at cleansing the face and the  removing even waterproof make up.each wipe is soft and not too thick, a great size and handy for on the desk or in the locker as well.



ETUDE HOUSE COLLAGEN EYE PATCH.$3.99
these great hydrating eye patches are quick and easy to use,
they are placed in a dish so as you peel the sticky off they are contained ,then you simply apply under the eyes, 
afterwards you can see no puffy eyes or creases. a great little time saver, work good if kept in the fridge .




SKINNED BLACK BEAN EYE BROW PENCIL,$11.00
i got the black,
the skinned eye pencil is good as it is not that dark,and the brow applicator is sturdy for constant use,
the pencil is quite hard so it doesn't smudge , but it leaves a gentle but nice eyebrow .



E CHOICE CERAMIDE CREAM.$14.99
this is a soft cream, thicker than an emulsion but not too thick, 
it is a multi use .it leaves the skin soft and smooth ,while hydrating overnight and moisturising through the day without serum building up.
my skin didn't feel dry so it seems like a good cream for me,


NEXT BEAU ELASTICITY AND COLLAGEN PIGGY MASK,
this sheet mask is for wrinkles ,made using hyaluronic acid for hydration, collagen for anti ageing and reducing wrinkles,and lines,this mask is soothing and leaves the skin soft and moisturised,leave on for 30 minutes, then massage the essence into the skin.


DAYLIGHT AND HUE .ARBUTIN ESSENCE MASK,
a restoring and hydrating sheet mask,this aims at making the skin more flexible.



for my bonus gift this month due to buying the extending subscription i received the BEAUTEQUE foundation brush, 
this brush is a great size but also so soft ,the hairs don't come out so i feel this brush will last a while,id love to see more products in the bags, 

so i really liked this bag it helps that we can pick certain amount of product scents etc each month ,then the rest are happy surprises once the bag arrives,



now to my pet hate and I've been so annoyed over this for over a month that i was actually going to cancel my remaining subscription, 
the SHIPPING,
we got our emails and waited ,and waited ,and waited ,then gave up, then got annoyed from lack of communication,then after some of us saying enough was enough thinking we were all being fobbed off with different answers we emailed the owner ,and I've been in contact ever since ,my email said parcel in its way on the 11th Feb ,then once i got my bag i was a little confused with the stamp and non postal markings .now we have many beauty subs from America that take a week max for more money and tracking included and we really think this shipping new company needs dealing with, i hope as of march our parcels are going to arrive really much quicker ,

to be frank my breakfast bag for reviewing was sent ,shipped and in my hands in 3 days as it shipped Friday ,and the same company was used ,confused i am,
so i hope my march bag will arrive very soon as this is a great monthly bag service.


next review is the breakfast bag .
