Feel unique - pick & mix

Hey guys, 

So today I'm going to be explaining what the FEEL UNIQUE PICK & MIX  I have read and seen a few people talking about this so I thought I'd try it out myself.


Feel unique pick & mix is a way to try out high end samples, you can pick 5 samples a month and only pay £3.99 for shipping. Basically it's a win win situation as you get to try out high end products before buying the full size version and only pay for the delivery.

 
 So first of all I got all makeup products.

 
So first of all I got the Nars luminous wightless foundation. Now this is a little to dark for me so I have been mixing it with my daily foundation and I can say it is a very watery foundation but it does have good coverage and is easy to blend.
 
Then I got the bioderma makeup remover. It is a deep cleansing make up remover micellar water and it really does remove makeup fast. 
 
 
Next I thought I'd try the Nars orgasm blush. Over the years everyone has been raving about this blush so as I saw the sample I thought i would jump on the band wagen and try it and may I add I really like it. It is a light pink colour which is very shimmery and is nice to use as a transition from your bronzer to your highlighter.
 
 Next I tried the nude by nature perfecting concealer in ivory. Which luckily enough I did manage to get the right shade in. Now I have used this for a few days and it has roughly a medium coverage but leaves it natural looking and not Cakey. 
 
 
Next I got the still aqua glow foundation now they did send this with three shades but I have only tried the shade fair light which I wouldn't say is light because I'm pretty pale but it was very dark on me so I yet again mixed it with my normal foundation and it adds a very nice glow to the skin as well as it been very watery and easy to blend. 

I've linked the page for the pick & mix but as the samples change all the time some of these aren't still there and there are new ones updated all the time so it's better to check the website regularly.

My dance top tips

Hey guys,

So today's post is a bit different now I dance, not that any of you probably knew, but I do ballet, tap and modern. If anyone dances I'm currently doing intermediate and grade 6 ballet and intermediate tap and modern. Now onto my tips 

 

  • Now this one only stands for if your on pointes but making sure shoes fit can apply to anyone. Now I have soft pointes and pointes and making sure you get them fitted right is key. Now they do expand after using them for a while so make sure there not super tight when you buy them but aren't to spacey as they will expand a little bit not masses but enough to make them less comftable.

  • Next stretch at home, if you go weeks without stretching especially if you are getting older you will start to find it harder if you stop stretching.

  • Try to keep a good posture.

  • Don't make excuses why you Carnt go to class, if you Carnt make it do some stretches at home to make sure you have done something similar to your class.

  • Smile, if your doing a show look as though you are enjoying it and if your doing a exam you will get extra marks if you smile and do performance.

  • Don't doubt yourself even if you Carnt do something practice makes perfect is the good old saying which really works if you don't keep trying you might not be able to do it but if you persevere it make take a while but you can do it.

Revolution strobe highlighter review

Hey guys, 

So today I thought I would do a review on a highlighter everyone has been raving about recently. So I got the MAKEUP REVOLUTION STROBE HIGHLIGHTER in the shade FLASH  now I've seen some reviews or some people loving this and some people hating this, so I thought I would share my opinion on this.
  
 
So first off this highlighter claims to 'capture the light' and give 'natural illumination' now this highlighter will capture the light but natural illumination is a maybe. If you put it on lightly then yes but it also says 'buildable' which if you do do will be blinding. 
  
Now this is a beautiful white/silver shimmer which looks amazing on the skin, it is buildable into a very strong silver. I have found if you build it too much tho it does show a little bit of texture on the skin. 

Also the packaging is very causal on the outside but when you open it the highlight is packaged in a wave like form, which personally I find very effective.

My go to drugstore makeup

Hey guys, 

So today I'm going to be going through my favourite drugstore makeup everyday look. 
 
So I start off with the foundation I use every day which is the RIMMEL MATCH PERFECTION FOUNDATION it is a really nice natural medium coverage every day foundation 
 
Now for my favourite probably ever concealer geeez the coverage though is amazing.  So if you want a not too expensive good concealer get the COLLECTION LASTING PERFECTION. ( just going to add £4.19 what is even the point in that 19p) 
 
Next I set my face with my running out RIMMEL CLEAR COMPLEXION TRANSLUCENT POWDER which I really really like to use just to set my face and leave the house 
 
Then as I love to contour I use the COLLECTION CONTOUR KIT which is such a nice mid toned brown which actually blends really nicely 
 
Now my favourite step geezzz everyone was raving about this highlighter so I thought you know what let's try it and oh my goodness I would recommend this to anyone it is so beautiful and so pigmented so honestly go buy the REVOLUTION STROBE HIGHLIGHTERS 
 
Next onto mascara which finishes every look now this mascara is actually one that I love and actually do use all the time along side my benefit roller lash. RIMMEL WONDERLASH is a nice lifting, lengthening mascara ( btw I don't have a fake as it says wonderfull not wonder lash I just bought mine from America ) 
 
Now I have this lip which I have raved about in a few posts which is the NYX INTENSE BUTTERGLOSS In chocolate crepe which is a lovely warm chocolate brown
