Fleur De Force Beauty!

I was really excited to hear that one of my favourite bloggers Fleur, from Fleur De Force, was coming out with her own makeup line exclusively sold at Feel Unique. In the past I hadn't really bought too much into the whole Youtuber's products business but for once I actually liked what I was seeing. As soon as it was released I instantly placed an order and i'm so glad that I did!

The range of products available are quite small compared to other youtube collaborations but I am so glad that it is. You can tell that thought has gone into each individual product which potentially may not have been there if the collection was bigger. I have no idea whether this collection will expand, I for one hope that it does! A nice little personal touch to the products are that they are all named after stars which is something Fleur loves! The collection consists of two eyeshadow palettes, 6 Lip glosses, a mirror and a makeup bag. I decided to go with a product from each range to test it out to see how I liked it.

First of all I got the eyeshadow palette in Cosmic Bronze. Bronze colours are always a go to for me as I know that it suits my skin tone. It is also a lot more wearable for me personally and I knew I would get a lot more use out of this than the purple toned palette. The palette also comes with a small brush which I would usually throw away. I was surprised at how good it actually is to use! Although I know I will be using a bigger brush when applying the shadows it is handy to have in emergencys! The eyeshadow quad costs £7.99 which is so affordable and a bargain for the quality of the shadows! You can shop for this quad HERE!

Next I decided to go for a dark lip. This is something very daring for me as I am usually one to go for the nudes! After watching Fleur's announcement video of the products I fell in love with 'Starry Starry Night' so I knew that I needed to try it out! I have never enjoyed wearing a lip colour as much as this! It is so fun to wear and has a lovely vanilla scent to it! The formulation is a mix up between a liquid lipstick and a lipgloss which I love! I know with the autumn weather coming up I am going to get ALOT of use out of this! Also can we talk about the adorable packaging? You can shop for this lipgloss HERE!

A nice touch that Feel Unique are doing is that if you buy two products you get a free mirror. I don't know how long they are going to be doing this deal so you should take advantage of it while you can! The mirror is the perfect size for the handbag and is super pretty as well. It features Fleur's distinctive watercolour print that matches the makeup bag and her book! Both of which you can get online.

I am desperate to get some more of the lip glosses. I have my eyes on Written in the stars! Have you tried out any of Fleur's products? Let me know what I need to try below!

Have a lovely day! 

Lips- Starry Starry Night- Fleur de force 

Naked Urban Decay- ON THE RUN

After first since seeing the Naked on the run palette in my local Debenhams, I knew it was the palette for me. I am sucker for a great neutrals palette and thought that the whole concept of this was amazing. Basically everything you would need for touchups, day to nights or generally to do your whole face of makeup, (minus foundation obvs) can be found in this palette. It comes in the most stunning packaging and rose gold detailing. Now who doesn't love a little bit of rose gold? I was given this palette for my birthday and although I have been in love with it ever since! It does say on their website that it is limited edition, so you might want to get this quickly!

 So the palette comes with 6 all new shades of eyeshadow with an extra dosage of 50/50 on the end for good measure. It also comes with a bronzer and blush, the popular perversion mascara, 24/7 eyeliner pencil in stag and a full sized naked lipgloss.

Just look at that packaging! 

 All of the eyeshadows are just like their other palettes. They are so creamy and blend into each other really nicely. The colours also go together perfectly which makes this palette a big contender in the ever going self conflict I have with which to bring on holiday. Sorry Naked 2 and 3 but this one might just win!

  

Overall this palette is the complete package for me. From the design on the box to the quality of each shadow. You can really tell that thought has been put into this box to make sure that there is a shade for every look. I really love the fact they have included a full size naked lipgloss as not only does it feel comfortable on, but it finishes off the look with no need to think of what lippy to use! 

If you have tried this palette let me know below! 

Have a lovely week! 

Love,

Drugstore make up haul!

One of the main problems of going to a London based university is that there are always little shops that call my name to go into them, and as a polite person I can't just ignore those callings so this is when products are bought that I perhaps don't need, BUT am going to store them in my little treasure chest of makeup anyway!

So the first shop I went into was called 'Beauty Base'. I have been in here a few times now and every time I go in new things are on display. LA Colors are a brand I have been quite unfamiliar with in terms of makeup products and seeing as there seemed to be rows, and rows and rows, of nail varnishes I decided to pick up a few. Also seeing as they were only 99p I thought why not.
The colours I picked up are called Sassy Sparkle and Broken Hearted. The first thing I thought when I walked in the store and saw these little nail varnishes was that they were the mini sized OPI ones. The names remind me so much of these products too! Broken hearted is a gorgeous pink glitter with gems and sequins in and reminds me so much of the minnie mouse special edition bottle that OPI released. Sassy sparkle, (what a name!) is a gorgeous white glittery polish which I know is going to get a lot of use come christmas time, and I am really looking forward to creating cute nail art with this one!

Sorry that the picture is a little blurry was hard to get the pic in focus. The base colour I used was Barry M Pomegranate

Another polish I picked up was this 'art deco' nail art lacquer in silver glitter. I have always used rio nail art tools so wanted to try something different, and a little bit cheaper. I knew that I needed a silver one so thought it would be a good tester polish! In terms of colour it comes out true to bottle and dries relatively quickly, which was something I was impressed with. The striper tool is also quite good as it always quick or slow movements in straight lines. I am defiantly going to go back and pick up some basic colours when I get a chance, for 99p you can't really go wrong!

I also bought this L.A. Colors palette in 'Wine and roses'. These colours are what I tend to always gravitate towards when buying eye shadows. Some of these colours reminded me of the ones that I have in my Naked 2 palette so wanted to see how close they were. The palette consists of 5 metallic colours from light pink to brown. I know already from swatching this product that the first and second pinks are going to be favourites of mine. They do come with a small brush, but I tend to use my own makeup brushes. It is good for travel though! This was also 99p so felt like it was a bargain!

The final thing I brought was from Boots. I have been seeing this foundation advertised in so many different magazines and online and from different bloggers that I had to go and pick it up and try it for myself. The foundation I am talking about is L'oreal Paris nude magique eau de tent foundation. As a paler person I got it in 100 Porcelaine. I am yet to wear this product but am going to do a full review of it once wearing it for a couple of days. I swatched this in the shop and must admit that it really did live up to what they had stated of a powder finish. One thing I do have a problem with is the fact it doesn't have a pump which makes it a little awkward to apply but I am sure that it will work out ok! I bought this product at the introductory price of £6.99 which for what the reviews have said was a good bargain also! I would defiantly recommend getting it and trying it for yourself!

Hope you enjoyed my little haul! Let me know if you have tried any of these products and what you thought of them!
