Advantages: Save bucket loads on your beauty products
Disadvantages: Doesnt have everything
feelunique.com
Men- don't shy away as there is a small men's section on this site for you too - only small though as after all beauty is for the ladies!
**What is it**
Feel Unique is advertised as the destination for beauty and if you Google it then it appears at the top of the page. It used to be called Islands Cosmetics and is based in Jersey. The significance of being based in Jersey is the Tax issue which allows them to sell us the consumers products cheaper.
**What it sells**
It sells all sorts of high street and premium beauty products including skincare, makeup, hair care, sun care and tanning, fragrances, bath and body, nails, mens products and more. It has grown significantly since I first started using it and there is a way to claim cash back from the cash back sites too. I first came across it as Island cosmetics as it stocks my favourite beauty must have at a third of the price- the magical touch éclat. The other great thing about it is that it offers free delivery too.
You need to register with them to make your purchases like you do with any other shop and there is the option to sign up for a newsletter to get the newest offers. On the homepage are tabs across the top into the key parts of the shop but you can also shop by product name or brand. It also shows the featured products and each item has the price and rrp. It also shows you the top 5 sellers for men and women. A good deal is touch éclat currently you save £7.45 off the rrp. I find the website easy to navigate and user friendly. It is an appealing layout and draws you into the products on offer. Other brands include Clarins, Clinique, Dior, Tigi, Kerase, Wella, Prada, Versace etc. However it doesn't stock everything from each brand but stocks the items that it can discount more heavily which is one downside of the site.
**The Price and Service**
The price of items is considerably cheaper to the main shops and delivery is free. Before I purchase from here I do check similar prices elsewhere and it generally does weigh up to be cheaper. When you select to look at an item it shows you other items from that range that may compliment it. Whenever I have ordered products like my touch éclat it comes out in a fast delivery within a few days. It is always securely wrapped in bubble wrap jiffy bag and the invoice inside the envelope. I have never had any issues with products and find the delivery prompt and efficient. They send an email after order to let you know that it is processed and when shipped.
**Would I recommend**
Definitely this is a must use site for cheapness, good stock of premium brands, quality service. We are in a world at the moment where as consumers we compare prices to get the best deal in 'tighter' times. Whilst feel unique doesn't stock everything, what it does stock is normally a third cheaper. More recently I also managed to link through a cash back site to gain extra percentage cash back too. So it is well worth a visit and one I will continue to use. I think this is fabulous site to check out if you love anything to do with beauty.
