A Mini Feel Unique Haul

I adore buying makeup, but as you can see by this little haul I did have some self control this time, but not much! as I still managed to picked up a makeup product! So I hope you enjoy this little post!

The products I purchased:

The Balm Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter - here

Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff - here

The Feel Unique Website - www.feelunique.com

So firstly I picked up the infamous and very much talked about Mary Lou Manizer highlighter which I tested out straight away as I just could not resist, it's so beautiful, snd a super shimmery highlighter and it looks gorgeous on the eyes and above the cheekbone area and basically it's just so pretty if I could apply it everywhere to my face I probably would... as it makes me feel like a glowing goddess!

It looks very gold/champagne colour in the pan which you can see in the photo I took of it below, but when it's applied its like a mixture of cream/gold so it's the perfect in between so it doesn't look crazy, it doesn't look coloured to me when applied, just a gorgeous glow, but it is very glowy and makes wherever you apply it to, on your skin look shiny and youthful, and it is literally amazing for above contour and makes chubby faced me, actually look like I have some cheekbones woo! It's clear to say, I'm in love!

This next item is something I have really been in need of, as I have recently got more into fake tan and making my not so tanned skin a bit darker, I really wanted to invest in a good body scrub one that would really make my fake tan apply better and one that would be amazing for removing excess tan which may have gone not so nice. I had tried the Cocoa Brown tan in Dark, and I love it and for such good value it's amazing and the colour is so gorgeous. I love being in the sun but I don't like the risks it apposes to my skin, especially since my face burns like a peach I have started taking much better care of my skin especially when being in the sun, so I decided I would rather fake tan as that is a lot better than damaging my skin in the long term. 

I love being tanned, I don't mind being pale but I find foundation is so much easier to match me when I'm tanned, maybe I'm just super fussy but I find foundations never match me correctly, either they are too pink toned or make me look ghostly white, and then the next shade up is usually too orangey on my skin! You can never win. When my body has it's natural colour I usually mix foundations to get a better and more precise colour match. But I love fake tanning and even though it's a lengthy process it makes me feel better about myself and personally I love my makeup more when I have a tan!

Drugstore Haul & First Impressions - December

So If today you want to know what I'm haulin' from the beauty counters at boots this is it! I was super happy to get everything as these are all products I've heard so much about and I am rather happy now I have them all (not that I needed any more makeup) but it was necessary I wanted to try some new things out and it's especially even more justifiable as I repurchased a few items too!

So first I picked up my trusty Lash sensational as I just can't imagine life without it!  sad I know, but it's the real honest truth! it just adds so much length to my lashes and the length is definitely what I lack when it comes to my lashes, so this just adds life back into them and without it I feel like I have no lashes and with it, and well you get the jist it is amazing! and I don't think many mascara's will ever compare to this for me so sorry if you're sick of hearing about it but you'll know why if you've tried it!

The second thing is a beauty I must say, I am literally a highlighter addict at the moment I cannot stop highlighting my face it just gives me so much more life and I definitely love a glow along with my contour. It is a lovely stick form so is so easy to apply and blends so nicely, it's nice and buttery so the formula is easy to just apply and blend out with your fingers or a brush. I have been using it for a week or so now and love the way it looks and for extra glow I love setting it with a powder highlighter, I'm loving the sleek highlighter on top of this to create a gorgeous glow! (from the sleek contour kit)

I have wanted this little product for so so long and when Boots were advertising Nyx coming to Boots online I jumped at the chance as I was so excited to try a infamous matte lip cream from them. The colour of this one is 'Copenhagen' which is a lovely dark reddy purple, it is more purple than red but looks like a berry toned shade, which is perfect for the Christmass-y season! I have used it twice and it lasts so well but when I applied a lip balm before it stayed on without drying my lips too, so a beautiful lip product all in all!

So every girl needs a good coverage drugstore foundation right?! Well this one from Bourjois is definitely gonna be repurchased again and again! I had previously owned the serum version which was lovely but a friend told me to try this one if I wanted more coverage so that's just what I did. I was NOT disappointed I don't know how I managed without it! and have worn it every day since purchasing it so that says something. It lasts really well on my skin and doesn't cake up which most foundations do with me and I don't know how the finish just looks so flawless and natural without being too heavy too!  

The next two are Soap and Glory makeup items and surprisingly I haven't tried any makeup from them before these. I purchased the Brow Archery in 'Love is Blonde' and I love the tint side of the pen it just looks perfect as sometimes I like a lovely natural brow nothing too heavy and I can use both sides, the tint and crayon end, and it'll still make them look super even! I'm so super impressed with it! 

Lastly I needed a concealer and I wanted good coverage for some under eye bags as sleep is something I'm not getting much of lately and I wanted to reduce the appearance of bags and cover them, I wanted to try another Soap and Glory makeup product so that's why I chose the Kick Ass Concealer, it has a yellow toned concealer on one side and a more orange toned one on the other. They blend like a dream and I love having two different colours to correct my under eyes and it's handy to have two different shades!

Drugstore Makeup Haul

Let me start by saying... yes I am aware this is another haul post!

I have received so many lovely things for my birthday which have been as will be included in a few more hauls or 'products I'm trying' or somewhat like that blog posts in the near future! 

So sorry if you don't enjoy hauls but it's all makeup and all stuff I'm super excited to use so as soon as I get it it *needs* to be photographed before I can use it definitely blogger problems! But I don't care I just can't wait to try all my new makeup products featured in this post so Enjoy!

So these are the three palettes I bought with birthday money, and I'm loving them all! 

The first was the sleek blush by three palette which has three lovely shades, also the palette is called 'sugar' but online it is 'brown sugar' before I forget to mention that! the shades are called: Left - Demerara, Middle - Muscovado, Right - Turbinado. they are all super lovely shades and I was so drawn to this palette as I haven't tried any of the blush palettes and at this time sleek was on 2 for £10 so will mention the other product in a mo! but My favourite shade has to be the middle shade 'Muscovado' it is just such a beautiful colour and has tiny little shimmers but they don't make me look like a glitter ball! *yay haha* but then close second is the fist shade which is like a dark cranberry shade, it looks so scary but it is super pretty and I am gonna love using it this winter! 

The Second product is the sleek palette on the right. It is a contour kit which has a contour powder(as you'd expect) and a beautiful shimmery highlighter. Now I already had this but in the more expensive one which included a blush, I never really used the blush - partly because I smashed it on a solid flood which smashed it to smithereens! And then this broke the packaging, now I won't be doing that with these! but I'm so clumsy haha so I won't be surprised if I do! Now this one (shade-light, btw) was in the sleek offer so both together came to £10 which I was so happy with as the last product retails for £9.99 on it's own, BARGAIN! The contour shade is perfect for my skin tone and I love the highlighter too so it's a perfect mini makeup compact! This one retails for £4.49!

The Last product is the Makeup revolution ultra sculpt and contour palette, which is £3.50 so for that price I wanted to give it a go! It has a contour shade, highlighter and pinky blush shade. I'm in the shade 'Ultra Fair' and It's lovely for the price I am amazed! The only downside is they are all very powdery so it gets everywhere haha! But I love it anyway for the price I am in love! All of them are wearable shades and look very pretty on the skin.
