My Everyday Makeup products | March 2016

I am a big fan of trying new makeup and lately I have tried quite a few new things, I wanted to share my everyday makeup products as I have been loving this combination of makeup for nearly a month now and I don't see it changing for a while! 

Firstly, I just want to apologise for being so absent from my blog recently, life has just got in the way. But I can't wait to send lots of new blog posts your way so watch this space! So enjoy this post!

So for foundation and concealer I have been loving the cheaper Highstreet/drugstore base makeup products as high end foundations and concealers can really break the bank and I think sometimes the cheaper version can work just as well it's just a case of trial and error. 

The two I am loving are the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation as it has a really nice full coverage and helps to cover up blemishes, it covers a lot so it's a great one for covering acne, but when I have some blemishes which you can still see that is where I apply the collection concealer, this one is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer which I'm sure you know about especially if you're from the UK!

I have been loving using my Makeup Revolution Contour Palette next and I am super obsessed with using this, there is the most gorgeous cool toned colour perfect which I use for contouring my pale skin it's amazing and makes it look like I have cheekbones without looking fake. And I also love the banana shade in the palette for setting my under eye makeup. I am such a huge fan of Makeup Revolution they make the most amazing affordable makeup and they have definitely been one of my most reached for drugstore brands for makeup this year!

I then apply my blush which is the Benefit Rockateur which is a pretty rose goldy shade which has a bit of shimmer, I love it and it's definitely one of my fave products from Benefit. It is a lovely flush when applied and just makes me feel like I look so much healthier with this rosy glow on my cheeks!

I then took, my favourite product at the moment, the Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter from The Balm, it is just incredible, so pigmented and gives the prettiest intense highlight ah it's something I cannot live without in my makeup routine at the moment and a few days ago when I was in a rush and didn't apply it I missed wearing it all day! It is a lovely colour too, the perfect mix between cream/gold like a champagne colour, but it just makes me feel so glowy and I think it just makes my makeup every day to be honest, and when it catches the light it's just beautiful! if you love to glow then try this girls!

Lastly I just applied lots of coats of the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara yes it is by far my favourite, and it always just adds so much length which I definitely need. I need to try the waterproof one though as I find waterproof mascara's keep a curl better and I don't think any mascara could beat this one but I way as well give it a go!

Also I would love recommendations on makeup products you're loving too!

Is there one makeup product you use everyday without fail?!

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!

What's on your Feel Unique Wishlist?! 

The Perfect Palette Tag

Today I'm doing a Tag post as I think sometimes these are a little bit of fun and are a chance to show more of your personality, and be yourself. Today's is the Perfect Palette tag and this tag was made for me as I am addicted to buying palettes and I have quite a few this is going to be hard I can tell! I'd like to say too before I start that palettes are something I like to collect and a lot of them had been bought with my own money or with birthday money etc. I haven't bought them all in one go most of them in about 3-4 years or longer.

1. Best Packaging

Without a doubt the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette, I am just in love with this packaging it is so gorgeous and I also really love the way it's magnetic, it seems to make it feel like a more luxurious product, although it already is but it just makes me love it all the more!(if that's possible) If you'd like to see more pictures of the Naked Smoky palette I have a haul where I featured it here
