Feel Unique Haul

Feel Unique recently had one of their amazing 50% off sales, and well, I couldn't not make a little order could I? The first thing I ordered was the Stila Kajal Eyeliner in Topaz, a beige-y nude shade which I've been lusting after for a while and is just perfect for that wide-eyed look. I've been wearing this on my waterline almost every day since I got it and I'm really impressed. Its creamy formula glides on easily and its staying power rivals that of my beloved Urban Decay 24/7 liners.

I remember buying the original Juicy Couture fragrance the first time I visited New York (I also bought a very sophisticated blue velour makeup case from Juicy, but we won't talk about that...) and falling in love instantly. It wasn't available in the UK then so naturally, I felt insanely cool. I still use the original fragrance from time to time but when I received the Viva La Juicy perfume around a year ago it quickly became my go-to want to smell pretty but can just spray it on and go scent. I've reached the very last spritzes of that and was looking to repurchase it, so when I saw the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy La Fleur version for half price on Feel Unique I couldn't resist. It's much like the original Viva La Juicy but a little fresher and more floral. As much as I adore Jo Malone and Chanel (and too many others...) scents for days when I want to feel fierce (hello, Tyra Banks), I love Juicy Couture perfumes as they make me feel girly, nostalgic and 15 again!

I had a sneaky look on the non-sale section of the site and picked up the Garnier Micellar Water which I've been interested to try out for a while. I could never justify buying Bioderma as it's a bit more money than I'd want to pay for something I'd just use as a makeup remover before properly cleansing. I've used this almost every day on a cotton pad to remove most of my eye makeup and it's great at dissolving stubborn mascara and gel eyeliner. I also sometimes use it in the mornings instead of toner as it's really refreshing and honestly just feels like water. It's gentle on the eyes as well, which is a huge plus for me as I find my MAC Pro Eye Makeup Remover stings really badly!

Feel Unique also send you two samples when you spend over £30 which is a lovely added extra. I opted for Caudalie Night Infusion Cream which I haven't used yet but am really looking forward to trying out. I also picked the Kerastase Capital Force Shampoo which I stupidly didn't realise was for men! So I think the other half may find this snuck in his bathroom soon (shh don't tell!).

This was only my second time ordering from Feel Unique but both times I have been so impressed with the service and super-speedy delivery, I can't wait to make my next purchase from them!

Revlon Haul | Matte & Lacquer ColourBurst Balms

I have to admit, as soon as I saw the many posts about the new Revlon ColourBurst Balms on my Bloglovin' feed I gave into the hype (surprisingly unusual for me when it comes to drugstore products) and hotfooted it to my nearest Boots to pick some up. As fate would have it, Revlon was on 3 for 2, but I restrained from picking three of these beauties up and thought I would try out one of their much-loved Lip Butters instead.

I'd never tried anything from Revlon before but these two had me hooked. So much so, that on my next shopping trip, three more ended up in my basket (what can I say, it was still 3 for 2, Boots what are you trying to do to me?). I'm sure that, like me, you've read every other beauty blogger's reviews of these and are probably sick to the back teeth of them  have at least seven of them stacked up in your Muji draws by now, so I will just say that I love the formula, packaging and how moisturising they are. As for the lip butter, the same applies, but I've since picked up a different shade - Strawberry Shortcake - and I like it even more.

If you're at all interested in what shades caught my eye, keep on reading...
