january BB bag from beauteque,



welcome to my new 2015 new subscription box /bag for the year. 
beauteque won my annul subscription choice this year because this is a new monthly venture for them.
Beauteque started off last year and we saw an increase in well curated bags each month as the year went by, in December beauteque announced they were to introduce a monthly subscription bag , so i promptly signed up,
find the bags here - http://beautequemonthly.com.
you can buy monthly or 3 monthly, 6 monthly or 12 months.
beauteque ship to the UK,USA,CANADA,EUROPE,
each month we will get 7 products in the bag,with a value of $65-$85 .
the  products will be a mix of skincare, beauty,make up ,lifestyle,jewelry.
on the 1st of each month we get emailed a survey sheet to pick our choices of certain items , it may be based on colour,scent,flavour,etc, the bags then get shipped between the 5th and the 15th of the month.

my bag,


UN bagged,



MIZON OLIVE COCOA BUTTER FOOT CREAM,
this is a thick rich cream that spreads over the skin and softens the feet so well, it removes dry skin and callouses and give a rich moisturised foot,with cocoa butter ,olive oiled aloe Vera helps soothe dry cracked sore skin,







MIZON HYALURONIC ULTRA SUBOON CREAM,
a great highly moisturising cream thanks to the hyaluronic acid  as the main ingredient, smiths the skin and aids elasticity back into the skin, 







TONY MOLY DELIGHT TONY TINT, IN NO 01.cherry red 
this is the full size and its a different shade to the one i already have , you can add and build up layers how you like, the stain lasts very well,you can add gentle colour or full on deep pigment or go for the Korean lips look ,i really like this cherry red ,better than the red i have, this seems to suit me better.





THE FACE SHOP MIST ,IN PEACH FLORAL,
i chose the peach over the Lily due to me liking the peach, 
on spraying onto my hair it smell strongly of peach then later on the floral comes through,the mist helps keep the hair in check and softens and shines ,i really like these mist sprays for the hair ,






SUNSET DUO BLUSH AND BRONZER .IN 05 SUNSET BREEZE,
not for me ,but for a friend and i was able to choose her correct skintone  so she will love this back up ,its quite dark, i wouldn't say much pigment , but she likes the brand so she will be happy,








CHEETAH SLEEPING MASK,
I CHOSE THE BLUE , 
whats there to know you put it on over your eyes and fall asleep,





ITS SKIN NECK MASK,the first signs of ageing appear on the hands and neck. 
so start keeping it in check and slow down the process with a weekly neck patch, 
this mask is easy to use ,simply remove from the packet and remove the plastic sheet off the white mask, then it simply sticks to the neck, after 20 minutes remove the mask and massage the essence into the skin, 
in the morning my skin felt soft but taught, and the mask felt quite well stuck on my neck while wearing in that i could easily walk around,
a good mask and will buy again.









DAYLIGHT AND HUE ESSENCE SHEET MASK IN AVOCADO,
 a cotton sheet mask with added vitamin.E.from the avocado,the mask has loads of essence to the point you can wipe the excess all over your body, the mask is rather too big for the face ,i find this with he cheaper masks, this is a Korean product and brand,the smell was OK ,herbal,floral ,not too over powering , my skin did feel soft and refreshed afterwards ,a little sticky  as well, my skin felt brighter the next day.





AND AS I SIGNED UP BEFORE A CERTAIN DATE , i receive a free product each month in my bag ,
this month i received the Re'Vive  cleanser body scrub, 30ml.
this is really nice and gentle , it also smells really fresh, who can't say no to another body scrub, I'm already using it.




so now i have it in my hands and been able to play with it all I'm pleased with my first subscription bag,and look forward to the February bag now, all these products are being used and i feel it can only get better ,
i quite like the curation on the first bag.

on opening the box is always jam packed with product.
and always includes an info sheet, log into the website for more detailed info and history in the secret blog on each product.


UN BOXED AND ALL LAID OUT,






Anpanman Chocolate Koro-Koro Bal
these are like American candy called whoppers,, 
a thin crispy milk chocolate coating with crispy middle,
an easy dispenser container gives you just the right amount.designed with anpanman.




Lumberjack’s Chocolate Stumps
these are cute little treats in a box, a bit like the meiji's mushroom chocolate biscuits ,lumberjacks are tastier and richer chocolate, with a cookie filling, and taste great ,these don't last long though.

Pierre-Ojisan’s Strawberry Rollcake
a soft sweet sticky cake that is smooth but equally as rich.with its unique strawberry flavouring,these are a bit like  chocolate rolls we get in the UK, 
great with tea or coffee.the word ojisan means older gentleman,also uncle, either way he is a cute old man .


Sakeru Muscat Gumi
so this is sakeru gum.the word gumi means to be taken as a loose term ,this is not chewy candy rather taffy type chew texture.the flavour is muscat grape and when eaten slowly the flavour takes time to come out.
the word sakeru means split or tear,packaged in sheets you tear off in string form string by string.the bags also lasts longer this way.


Lotte Choco Pie
lotte choco pie are a classic treat,2 chocolate flat cakes with a cream filling then covered in chocolate ,great with a glass of milk or hot coffee,these are a grown up oreo .

Lotte Custard Cake
lotte custard pie, are like American twinkles  but a softer cake ,and this time a custard filling,great for snacking on,


Umaibo Teriyaki Burger
OK, this is rather different in that its a spicy little number,these are jumbo  corn puff sticks with a teriaki burger flavour,its flaky but hard and crunchy. but overall very tasty, with a drink,


Variety Christmas Pack
what a great selection pack to include for us all,
various flavour and colour combos,we have fried mocha sembei,chocolate marshmallows,mini umaibo in corn syrup flavours and chocolate flavours.and a random ramune flavour. a great Xmas tree treat ,




Abetsuko Fruit Ramune
ramune is the staple candy of every childhood kid in japan,these are little candies dissolve in the mouth and are various flavours grape,lemon,strawberry,melon,orange. each packet has a different animal on it.




Natsukashi Curry Sembei
natsukashi means nostalgic ,so i guess this packet of goodies means your remember the good times.
if you like spicy strong flavours it may not be for you, its a refined flavour.
want a snack but don't want to be feeling stuffed afterwards this maybe for you.
the colours are supposed to mean they are different flavoured curries but sadly you can't tell any variation.



Fuusen Bubble Gum
so the word fuusen means balloon.this is a bubble gum for blowing awesome bubbles.
the dispenser makes it great for carrying around , and although the flavour does not last long the bubbles can go huge.


this was my extra item this month, 
to be honest my teenage son stole it before i could get my hands on it.
but it was tasty candy cotton by the sounds of it.



my Christmas December box add on.
where to start , 
it was huge and jam packed with tasty treats,
kitkats,chocolate, ramune candy, snack kits,candy disks and chocolate ,
i really loved this add on ,so it was like getting 2 boxes  this month 



so this box and the add on was totally worth the money,i was upset it never arrived before Christmas but it arrived 2 days after and you know what once opened I'm happy it arrived in December, totally loved all the products  and  id recommend the  subscription to anyone looking for a candy box,

MY BOX



UN BOXED ,



MENU ,INFO CARDS.












BEAUTY FIRM RUBBING JELLY SCRUB,

this is a jelly in a tube you then apply to the skin through the silicone brush on the end,i really like the ides of these brush products having had cleansers in previous boxes, 
they are so easy to use and no mess or faffing around,you simply squeeze the scrub out into the brush and scrub or massage over heels and elbows ,the argan oil and apricot  seeds  and pantheon polish through the dry dead skin,and smooth and buff leaving you with softer ,brighter skin,




dung,FAMILY PEELING GEL,
a face peeling gel with aloe Vera and grapefruit,centella asiatica ,chamomile,you simply add it to your face and rub all over ,as you rub and roll the gel over the skin it lifts up all dirt and grime and blackheads to clean,brighten the complexion.




PURE SMILE JEWELRY SCRUB IN AMETHYST,
i had one of these in a previous box and wasn't sure about it ,until i actually used it.
this is a body scrub  used on wet skin it really smooths the skin with help from the black sugar,Shea butter ,jojoba ,glycerin, amethyst powder,a really good daily use body scrub.



PRO YOU S SPECIAL E/B CREAMY PEEL,
this was the product i was looking forward to trying out,
its a gommage and these are so cool ,an exfoliator the strips away dead skin cells blackheads and excess oils,this creamy lather lifts everything up to the surface while massaging and cleaning the skin,once washed off the skin looks and feels cleaner.



TONY MOLY GOLD BLACK SUGAR MASK.
this is another product i have wanted to try out to compare brands.
a face exfoliator with black sugar,gold,honey,used once a weeknights the skins complexion back to fresh new and glowing from dull,drab and old, massage into the face and rinse ofter 15 minutes.



PURE PLUS +SKIN FREYIA FOOT PEELING 
who does not like foot peeling masks,
simply pop the mask over the feet and let the skin soak in the gel for an hour and half ,then wash the feet with soap, after 4 days or so the skin will peel from feet  and after a week you should have lovely clean soft new feet, removes dry skin and calluses,



MY THOUGHTS on this box is not as good as scrub 1 ,but it does have some different products the only product I'm not into from this box is the ddung peeling gel, i really liked the foot peeling mask, the apricot beauty firm jelly scrub,and the creamy pro you s special face peel,the black sugar scrub is a nice treatment if your in the mood for a relaxing bath and pamper session, overall it was a nice box and a few things i really like using,
