I'm back, finally after so long! Over my weeks away I had a case of the flu and was feeling very sorry for myself so I did a bit of retail therapy to help cheer me up. I popped on to the Feel Unique website and made an order for Fleur De Force's beauty products. Fleur is a YouTuber and blogger who I have been watching for a few years. The launch of her beauty products really excited me and I couldn't resist so had a little spend on Feel Unique...
The first thing I adore about these products is there classy packaging. Compared to other beauty YouTuber's and branding this looks really sleek. I really love the pop of the metallic space grey. It also suits all ages. Unlike other brands sometimes the packaging appeals to a more younger audience but Fleur has really adapted it and made it appeal to a larger age group of people.
The first product I picked up was the Lunar Rose eyeshadow quad. I was debating as to which one to buy as Fleur has two in the range - Cosmic Bronze and Lunar Rose. Cosmic Bronze is more of a brown and bronze pallet and out of the two colour choices, I thought this pallet was more seasonally appropriate and I wear pinky tones a lot on my eyes. Unlike other pinky pallets I have tried such as the Naked 3, the tones in this pallet are more cool based. They have that frosty look to them and they are so different to anything else I own. It also comes with a small eyeshadow brush which is perfect to line the bottom lash line. The pallet is also a really lovely makeup bag size which makes it ideal for a weekend away or a holiday. This will definitely be my pallet of choice for my Disneyland trip next month :)
So now for the shades! The first shade (top left) is a light demure pink and the finish is matt. I use this as a base colour all over the lid. It's very sheer and subtle, although it can be worn on it's own and still look noticeable. The second shade (top right) is this beautiful rose gold colour which is very metallic and shimmery. It looks beautiful as an all over the lid colour. The third shade (bottom left) is a shimmery frosty pink with a hint of lilac. This is lovely as an all over the lid colour or in the inner corners of the eyes to brighten. The last shade (bottom right) is my favourite! I absolutely adore this colour. I didn't think this would be my favourite shade at all because it looks very dark and vampy but alas I have worn this many times as a crease colour. It is a gorgeous burgundy-purple with subtle gold shimmer and although it looks like a very dark colour, it's not as pigmented which is a major plus as it looks more subtle as a crease colour. This pallet has some stunning shades in it. The only downside is they don't have names which I think would have been lovely to make the pallet a bit more personal!
I also picked up one of Fleur's lip glosses. I have previously tried Tanya Burr's lip glosses and they didn't really work for me as they were very thick and sticky so I was a bit hesitant, however, Fleur did not disappoint! The lip glosses have such a different formula than any I have tried. Lip glosses aren't my favourite lip products as I find that they can be a bit messy and can get everywhere but I actually really love this one. The consistency and the formula is perfect for me. Like Fleur describes, they are a cross between a gloss and a liquid lipstick. The formula is creamy, it has the perfect amount of stickiness and it is also moisturising on the lips. It smells like sweet vanilla which is such a beautiful scent as I find a lot of lip glosses that I have tried have a Calpol scent or have a fruity scent which I am not a fan of as it just makes me feel sick. The scent is so delectable - it makes me want to eat cake every time I put this lip gloss on!
There are six different shades in the lipstick range. Fleur has really thought of all the colours. There's a light pink, a classic red, a berry-toned pink, a bright pink, a coral and the one that I chose which is a rosy nude pink called 'Written In the Stars.' I will just mention that I love how Fleur has personalised them with linking the names to stars. I feel like it's a really personal touch. In the swatch, 'Written in the Stars' looks a bit orange-toned but it's really not. It's a perfect nude pink. It's such a wearable everyday shade and it's right up my street. I love the rosy pinks as on me they are a 'your lips but better colour'. The pigmentation is good for a lipgloss. I feel like it gives the right amount of colour but it is also sheer depending on the amount you apply.
I hope you enjoyed this review and let me know if you have tried any of Fleur's new products :)
