Haul #3.

 Hello beautiful ladies and gentlemen,

I went out yesterday and bought a few bits and pieces, and thought why not sharing them with you?! I love reading/watching other peoples hauls, and I think that a lot of you do so too, so I snapped some pictures and now I am here writing and editing. 

I am not getting into much detail of them, because I might do a more in debt reviews about some of them for you to read about. Therefore if you would like me to review a product or more from this little haul, let me know in the comments below! 

1. L'Oreal Paris New Studio Line Silk&Gloss Fixing Spray 250ml - £5.85
I tried to find a link for you to buy this directly but I can find it anywhere. I don't know if it is because it is still new, or because I'm a horrible Google-er. But basically I needed a new hairspray and saw this one on the shelf and just bought it. I haven't tried it yet, but when I do so I will definitely write something about it!
A lot of you might say - "Spring's coming, why are you buying Autumn candles?" I tell you why, it is because I love honey and spice-y scented candles, I just want to eat them all up and make babies with them. Also I like to burn a good amount of different candles around the house at all time - spice-y and sweet-y! Nothing lavender-y or floral-y though. Moreover, this particular candle has the smell of Christmas which is the most favorite time of the year for me! (Excited much with my new candle).

I am just noticing that I bought the wrong shade - Yey me! I wanted it in medium, but apparently I just grabbed a random one. Hope it's not a dark shade for me. I bought this little one just because I needed a new concealer and I've heard so many good things about it, so I thought I'd give it a go. 
I love trying new primers, and I had an eye on this one for a pretty long time and I finally decided to try it out. When I swatched it on my hand, it was quite smooth to apply and it sinks into the skin in no time. I think that this might be a great one. 
I'm a sucker for any kind of lipstick and whenever I go make up shopping or any shopping and find some, I will bring them home. Both of these shades are so beautiful and great for spring time. Honey is a dark deep rose shade and Lovesick has a nice bright pink shade. They have a mint-y smell and also when applied they taste of mint and tingle a bit. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but me?! I love mint-y things and this was just a bonus. 

The shop had an offer with the Tresemme hair products in which you buy the shampoo and the conditioner and you get a hair mask for hair prone to breakage and split ends for free. I love their shampoo and conditioners, and I just ran out of the Tresemme Vitamin E Moisture Rich Shampoo because I have really dry hair and since I dye it, it is quite damaged and I loved it. Therefore I thought I give this one a go and I am more than sure that is going to work just as good as the other one. 

Thank you all for reading, I appreciate it a lot. 

Which product would you like me to review in more depth? Let me know.

More Damage?!

Hello beautiful ladies (and gentlemen?),

I know two posts in one day - Shocker right! But I thought I would slip in another beauty haul because I like to share with you guys my purchases. I went a little shopping two days ago and this happened.


First I went to The Body Shop and I purchased these five items:

1. The Body Shop Chocomania Body Lotion - £8.00
This was on sale when I bought it and I think that it still is, if you have a Body Shop anywhere close to you make sure to get this and this is why - It has a chocolate scent more than chocolate does, it really moisturizes your skin, it leaves your skin glowing and beautiful and the smell of the chocolate stays on you for a pretty long time. WARNING: You might eat yourself! 

I haven't tried this mascara yet because I still have two mascaras open and I don't like to open too much because when you don't use them they tend to dry quite easily and we don't want that. So if you would like me to review this in the future just let me know and I will be happy to do so. 

This is a miracle worker. I used this as soon as I purchased it on some blemishes that I have on my face before I went to sleep and when I woke up they were already fading. I recommend this immensely. It doesn't have to be a Body Shop one, any Tea Tree Oil can do but this is amazing!

This thing right here - smells good, tastes good, it moisturizes your lips and leaves them so soft and kissable ;). It even gives a cute pinky shade to your lips so if you don't want to bother with lip gloss or lipstick you can just put this on with your fingers and you're good to go. 

5. The Body Shop Organic Cotton Square Pads x50 - £2.50
I've been trying to find some good quality and quite large cotton pads for ages now and lately I was told that the Body Shop has some good cotton pads and I finally bought some. I already used them twice and they are amazing, all you need is one and you can remove/cleanse your whole face with it easily without using too much cotton pads. I definitely recommend these to you if you're still searching for some like I was. 

Then I went in a pharmacy and there was five of my favorite drugstore brands - Maybelline, Rimmel, Max Factor, L'Oreal and Revlon, and I bought something from each brand.

This was in my wish list for ages but whenever I go on the Feelunique website or walk into a store and search for it, it always has been Out of Stock. But not this time - this was the last one there standing all by herself and I just wanted to give her a home with the other three. I already wore it ones but it was quite of a disappointment, I don't know if it's just mine or every ones is like this but it is a bit sheer, not that pigmented as the other two are. It looked as if I have nothing on my eye lid but when I put some Hustle (from the Naked Palette) in my crease, it started to show a little and it was lovely. 


I have to stay that this was a bit of a disappointment for me. When I swatched it in the store it looked amazing but when I actually tried it at home on my lips, I didn't like it. It looked patchy and for some reason it turned out to be very dark while in the store it wasn't. Maybe the effect of the lights changed it up a bit. 

This one has a really nice, doll look color. I love it on days when I don't want my lips to be out there. The only thing that I don't particularly like about it is that it is a little bit sticky but other than that just gorgeous. Definitely going to try more colors from this range. 


9. Rimmel Match Perfect Foundation in the shade 200 Soft Beige - £6.99
I haven't tried this yet but I know that it is going to be amazing because I heard so many good things about it last year! Also when I swatched the color on my skin it matched perfectly which is a bonus I guess.


I already own two other shades from this brand and I love them to bits. The others are both dark shades and so I wanted to try a nude shade and this looks perfect for Spring/Summer. Can't wait to have it all over my nails.
 So, that's all for today's beauty haul post and I hope that you liked some of my products.

What's your favorite product from this haul? Do you own anything from these? Let me know in the comments below. 

Until next time,

Stay Beautiful,

Feelunique Beauty Haul.

Hello beautiful ladies (and gentlemen?),

I wonder if there are any guys out there reading some beauty blogs - I really would like to know haha. 

I was a bit naughty last week - Went a bit nuts on the Feelunique website and bought some stuff and thought I would share them with you wonderful people. Also I already used some of these products so I can give you a general overview on them but if you would like me to review any product in particular just let me know :).


This cleansing water is very popular among a lot of Beauty Bloggers and I am one of them. Since I discovered this cleansing water I had never cheated on it with someone else haha - only with the Body Shop one because I wanted to try something else and I liked it but NOT the way I love this one. It has a nice kind of grape scent but nothing too over powering and it definitely leaves your face feeling fresh and like it's brand new. It does the job - in the sense that it cleans your face from all the make up that you put on to make you look even more pretty in no time and this is one of the reasons that I really love it because who loves washing, cleansing, moisturizing and so on before going to sleep? Let's be honest here. I promise you that this is a must in your skin care collection. 


Well, this ladies and gentlemen? Apparently, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO READ AGAIN. Why? - you may ask. It is because I am definitely not a fan of lavender and floral scented things. You may know if you read My Current Skincare/Nighttime Routine that I bought by accident the Cath Kidston Rose and Peony Handcream and I hated the smell at first and for the second time, I did it again. 

I was in need of a new toner to shrink my pores and the first person I recalled to was - Tanya Burr
She recommended this and bought it at that exact moment. I really look up to her and she never gives us wrong advices or recommends us horrible products and she didn't in this case as well, because overall it is a good product. But the smell of the lavender is so strong that I have to close my two nostrils when applying it, so if you are NOT a lavender fan - DO NOT buy this toner but if you think that you can  handle it do so because apart from the smell, it is a really good toner. It closes and redefines your pores and also my skin seems happier.

3. Caudalie Vinosource SOS Morning Eye Rescue - £16.20
I haven't tried this product yet because I don't need to right now as under my eyes are not sore at the moment. But I read really good reviews about this product and that is why it caught my eye. It is a bit expensive for a little tube of 15ml but you only need a tiny little drop so you won't use up the whole tube in two days and also I think that it's worth the money. 

4. L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise EverRiche Nourishing Intense Mask - £6.99
I actually used this amazing mask earlier today. It has the nicest smell - Camelina and Apricot Seed although I kind of think that it smells of chocolate, I don't know why but it kind of does. I bought this mask because I have very dry hair because of the dye and the A LOT of blow drys that I give to my hair and also because I have thick hair. After I washed my hair with my shampoo, I just simply put some of this mask onto my hand and messaged it into my hair giving more importance to the ends and left it for about 10 minutes and lastly I rinsed it out. It left my hair feeling so soft and with a fresh scent that I wanted to marry my hair haha.

I have to blame Estee from Essie-Button on this purchase because she's been raving on this product for a large number of decades haha. But really, it is one of the most lovely highlighters that I have ever tried. It is the perfect highlighter - it is a champagne colored highlighter, it has a very smooth texture and highly pigmented. 

I haven't tried this yet, but when I swatched it on the back of my hands it was gorgeous - the color is  perfect for my skin and hope that it has a nice coverage. It does not highlight your spots and so you can use it over spots and blemishes that you might have on your lovely face. I will write a full review of this as soon as I start using it and give you my thoughts about it. 

I already own two shades from this range - Celestial and Big Bang and I adore them both and I wanted to try some other shades. I read some reviews and watched some swatches and decided to buy this little one right here. In no surprise it was a really dark plummy color which I like but definitely NOT for daily use because it is way to dark for my taste but for a night out I think that this color would be perfect! 

The Real Techniques brushes are a MUST HAVE in your brush collection. I already own the Expert Face Brush for foundation and it was feeling a bit lonely and so I bought these two other brushes. I use the Stippling Brush for foundation, but I will definitely stick to my Expert Face Brush because it kind of hurt my face with the "spikes" - it is not as soft as the Expert Face Brush. And I use the tiny Setting Brush for highlighter and concealer and it is AMAZING! I really like this last brush.

So, these are the new nine items that just joined my Beauty/Skincare collection. 
As previously said: if you have your eye on one or two or all of these products just let me know in the comments below and I will write a full review about them. 

If you like these kind of posts let me know in the comments below for future posts ;) 

Do you own any of these products? What do you think?
