Hello and happy Friday! At the beginning of May I placed two online orders, one on Feel Unique and the other on Makeup Revolution. I’d heard so many good things about Makeup Revolution and it was only a matter of time before I placed an order. I kept adding things to my cart and taking them out but I finally settled on a few bits to buy. It was my first time ordering from each site and I want to commend both Feel Unique and Makeup Revolution on their efficient dispatch and particularly Feel Unique on their prompt delivery. My Makeup Revolution order took a lot longer to arrive and finally arrived on Wednesday. Thankfully, nothing was damaged or missing.
Kicking off with Feel Unique…
1. Zoella Beauty Tutti Fruity Beauty Pouch | £3.00
I’ve known about Zoella’s beauty range for a while and I’ve started getting into her videos and become a recent subscriber to her YouTube channel. I was browsing Feel Unique and literally stumbled across this wee beauty pouch. I loved the makeup illustrations on the pouch and the light pink colour with pink polka dots. This pouch is pretty versatile too, you could use it for cosmetics or a coin purse as suggested on the tag or you could use it to keep receipts in, as a pencil case or in your handbag as a divider.
2. Tanya Burr Lip Glosses | £9.97 (3 For 2 Offer)
When I was browsing Feel Unique I wanted to look at brands and makeup you can’t buy in New Zealand and Tanya Burr’s is one of those. I’ve heard a lot of praise for her lipglosses in particular and I wanted to try them out for myself! There was a 3 For 2 offer on so I selected the shades, Picnic In the Park (a vivid pink), Afternoon Tea (a light pink) and I Found Nemo (coral). The shade names are super cute! I’ve tried all of the glosses on my lips and the pigmentation and wear time is excellent. The formula has a lovely watermelon scent and doesn’t feel horrible and sticky. The applicator applies the glosses nicely and is a nice size as well. The packaging is beautiful and makes the product look more expensive than it is.
I’ve swatched all three shades and included an image of me wearing each one.
Left To Right: I Found Nemo, Afternoon Tea and Picnic In the Park.
Top To Bottom: I Found Nemo, Afternoon Tea and Picnic In the Park.
Now onto Makeup Revolution:
1. I ♡ Makeup Goddess of Love Highlighter | £4.99
I haven’t tried any highlighters before and I couldn’t go past how gorgeous the I ♡ Makeup ones looked. The packaging is adorable and again makes the product look more expensive than it is. Goddess of Love is a gorgeous shimmery pink/silver. The highlight can be applied lightly for a more subtle look or with a more heavy hand for a night out, special occasion etc. I wore this highlighter for the first time yesterday and it looks very natural on my skin and adds the loveliest glow.
2. Iconic 1 Eyeshadow Palette | £4.00
If you can’t buy the actual Naked palettes by Urban Decay you buy a dupe right? This palette is full of gorgeous warm tones and contains a mixture of pearls, shimmers and mattes. One thing that has always intrigued me about the original Naked palette is the blue/grey shade right on the end. It seems like such an unusual colour and I can’t wait to use it. I also don’t think I’ve seen or read a bad review about this Makeup Revolution palette.
3. Iconic 2 Eyeshadow Palette | £4.00
I had only intended to purchase one of the Iconic palettes but ended up adding the Iconic 2 to my cart as well after reading this post of Karen’s. The swatches and look Karen came up with convinced me I needed this palette big time! There seem to be quite a few shimmer shades in this palette which I don’t actually own a lot of already and I am fond of a bit of shimmer! This palette reminds me of Maybelline’s ‘The Nudes’ which I love, but the Iconic 2 looks like it has more shimmer shades giving it a point of difference.
4. Ultra Face Base Primer | £5.00
I bet you were expecting to see the Iconic 3 next and while I did consider it, my W7 dupe will have to do for now! I recently finished up my Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro primer and I haven’t seen that available anywhere for a while so I settled on this one as an alternative. The primer comes housed in a cute, pink tube and contains 25ml of product. The primer itself is clear so I know it won’t alter how my foundation looks and it looks more of a thicker texture than the Rimmel one I was using. It will be interesting to see how both primers compare.
Total (Feel Unique + Makeup Revolution) = £30.96
Overall, I am extremely impressed with the quality of everything and I am so pleased with my choices! Let me know your thoughts if you have tried any of these items.
P.S. I also ordered a few extra items not shown here which I purchased for a blog giveaway coming next week. Keep your eyes peeled for that!
Great choices. I just got a small Tanya Burr eyeshadow palette I’ve yet to try. Her glosses look lovely! Loving Zoella at the minute too, just ordered from her new range. Good Makeup Revolution picks too. I’ve tried some of their makeup but not any of the ones you’ve tried. That higglighter looks pretty☺ x

I really like the Iconic 3, but since you already have a dupe of the Naked 3 I totally get why you wouldn’t pick that one up. Some of the shimmery shades are even better than the Naked palettes IMO! The mattes need a little extra work but for the price difference, who cares! Enjoy your new goodies 🙂

The dupe I have isn’t the greatest but I’ll persist with it a little while longer, I probably would have been better to pick up the Iconic 3 lol! I know I will enjoy these for sure 🙂

Fab pics, I only tried the Tanya burr lipglosses before they were repackaged and found them really sticky, haven’t tried them since again – but I’m not a big gloss wearer! I have 1,2 and 3 Iconic 3 palettes, they won’t disappoint you! xxx

I don’t find them too sticky, and I actually find them quite moisturising too! Glad my decision was vindicated to pick up the Iconic palettes, everyone has something good to say about them x
