head to toe breakfast bag from beauteque,

pr sample

i was kindly sent the BEAUTEQUE bag, this is the HEAD TO TOE breakfast bag.

 find the bag here,HEAD TO TOE BREAKFAST BAG
the bag costs $26.00 and $9.00 shipping to uk and europe cheaper to usa and canada.
the breakfast bag is themed around the most important  meal of the day ,each product in this bag is either shaped or have ingredients in the theme.
so start the day off with a decent meal and a great skincare routine.

MY BAG.


 

MENU CARD 

PRODUCTS.


CHERRY APRON,$15.00
the cherry apron was included in this bag, so put your pinny on and start cooking breakfast ,
this is a great sized apron,simple ties that reach round the back and front,




SKINFOOD BATH FIZZER  IN BLACK SUGAR.$5.00
this pack contains 2 bath fizzy bombs.
these contain seasalt, and minerals ,also contains green tea that helps to brighten the skin.you drop them into the bath and let them fizz around till dissolved,
simply pop one in the bath and relax.
the skin felt soft and rejuvenated afterwards.
quite nice for a pamper night.





TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL EGG CREAM MASK. $5.00
this is a sheet face mask ,the actual mask is very thin but does fit tightly on the skin.
this mask contains albumen,albumin,ceramide,camellia oil.
the skin feels and looks fresher and brighter.
the mask was really creamy felt like a mayonnaise mask, plenty of moisture and essence to massage in the skin and neck and decollete area afterwards.
it seems to tighten my skin up too much and i need to moisturise my skin a lot as i felt my face had frozen still.






FROM NATURE eCHOICE  FERMENTED TEA SKIN DRINKS  SLEEPING PACK,
$12.00
a great sleeping pack ,i have a few of these tubes, it is packed with jasmine and green tea.
this moisture pack moisturises  overnight,feeds nutrients to the skin,
simply wash off in the morning to feel a softer hydrated skin,




TONY MOLY MAGIC FOOD BANANA HAND MILK,$10.00
this is such a cute banana,
when you open it up the white cream is quite thick,
the smell is awesome ,just like school banana and custard pudding in the UK,
with this you can only just stop yourself  trying to eat it.
the little tube is a squeeze ,i don't think this will last long as i keep grabbing it while around the house just so my hands smell of banana custard.






EVAS VITAMIN CLEANSING FOAM,$10.00
this is a rich creamy lemon foam,with hyaluronic acid,vitamin B and C ,AHA.
this foams up a lot but is very drying on the skin and my face felt really dry ,it does have a high PH level ,so i will be using up on my legs for shaving instead.
it did clean the face well and clean pores, but far too harsh on my skin sadly.





ETUDE HOUSE SUNSHINE IN SPOON SCRUB MASSAGE YOGHURT,$3.00
X2.
I CHOSE THE OPTION OF raspberry x2. and sugar apple x2,
the raspberry yoghurt pack massages the skin with its peeling capsules.
it is high in anti-oxidative.vitamin packed raspberries.this gives clear skin and and clean pores while giving a great cleanse to the skin.
simply massage scrub into skin with fingers or brush then wash off with water,

the sugar apple scrub is as above,but this firms the skin right up and has apple extract.this left the skin smooth,





so we have our tea, our lemon,our apron to wear, some yoghurt,bananas and sugar,with some eggs and fruit all thrown in for a great breakfast,

this was a great bag for me,skincare , i love that i finally got the tony moly banana cream ,i love it, the too cool for school egg cream mask is good , the mesh backing you remove is good as it is a slippery mask to put on, buttes i liked it,the cherry apron is a great addition ,i like the yoghurt scrub and its really does buff the skin well,
the sleep mask is moisturising,the only thing i didn't enjoy is the vitamin foam, but i do think the head to toe  bags the company release, 
i look forward to grabbing a bloggers colab bag this month,

shipping for this bag took 3 days to the UK so a lot quicker than the monthly subscription bags.
i love it,

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 .

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.
