Fleur De Force Make Up

When I saw that Fleur was bringing out her own make up line I knew straight away that I needed to try it! Fleur is one of my favourite YouTubers and I've been following here for a long time. I particularly love how mature and sophisticated she is. I feel her videos cater for people in their 20's rather than younger teenagers, which can be quite rare to find these days!! 

Anyway, I decided to try one of her eyeshadow quads and a lipgloss. They are available to buy at Feel Unique (they ship worldwide). I would have loved to buy the whole collection but unfortunately I had to be sensible and only buy a couple!

Fleur De Force Lipgloss - Starry Starry Night

I am not really a lip gloss fan but I have to say I loved this! At £6.99 each they are affordable but not too cheap. This colour is extremely pigmented and also wasn't sticky which is why I usually don't like wearing lip glosses! I feel this is a good combination of a liquid lipstick and a lip gloss. It feels like a liquid lipstick when applying it but obviously has a glossy finish. This berry colour is also perfect for this time of year. 

The lip glosses come in 6 different shades, varying from a standard nude to this colour and a bright red.

Fleur De Force Eyeshadow Quad - Lunar Rose 

There are two eyeshadow quads in Fleur's make up range. I decided to try this one as I don't own anything like it, where as Cosmic Bronze has more neutral and warmer toned eyeshadows, which I have a lot of! I have to say I was very surprised at how pigmented and almost buttery these eyeshadows are. They are so soft and blend really well! I'm not sure what I expected to be honest but they feel like a more high end shadow rather than something that you would buy at the drugstore. 

Thank you for reading! :)

Fall Essentials - Beauty/Skin Care

Finally for my fall essentials posts is beauty and skin care! As the weather gets colder it is important to keep your skin hydrated. My skin has been quite dry and sensitive at the moment so I am picky about what products I use. 

Body Moisturisers 

I am rather paranoid about getting ill, especially in autumn and winter so I'm always washing my hands and using hand gel. As a result my hands get dry so I use Soap and Glory's Hand Food to keep them moisturised. 

I've been getting a lot of dry skin on my body so I use The Body Shop's Mango Body Sorbet on my legs and Soap and Glory's Butter Yourself every where else. 

Skin Care

Once a week I use the Simple facial scrub to remove any dead skin and unblock my pores. This leaves my skin feeling very refreshed without making it feel sore and sensitive.

I've just started using the Garnier Softening Toner and so far I love it. It's very gentle on my skin, removes any left over make up and keeps my skin feeling moisturised. 

I use the Nivea Cleansing Cream Wash every day. Again it's not harsh on my skin yet cleanses my skin and leaves it feeling clean and refreshed. 

When I get the odd annoying spot I put a dab of Tea Tree Oil on it at night and by the morning it's significantly reduced. I love this stuff!

Next is The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream. This is thicker than what I used over summer and with regular use it makes any dry skin non existent. I can't wait to try more products in this range!

Finally is the Nivea Pearly Shine Lip Balm. This one of only a few lip products that actually keep my lips moisturised, which is very important all year round but especially when it begins to get colder.

My response to the questions:

When and why did you start blogging? I started blogging in July of this year because I love all things beauty and needed something to occupy myself with!

What is your favourite foundation brand? Clinique 

Skin care, Hair, Nails, Make-up – Name one each that you recommend somebody else to try & why. Skincare I would recommend tea tree oil to dab on to annoying spots; I swear they disappear overnight when I do this! Hair I recommend investing in a good hair mask to use once a week, doing this made my damaged hair a lot stronger. Nails I recommend Barry M Speedy nail polishes. I own nearly all of them and they are great as I am so impatient when it comes to waiting for my nails to dry. Make Up I recommend the Milani eye shadows, they are the bomb!

Fall Essentials - Fashion

Next in the fall essentials posts is fashion. I've picked some of my must haves and favourites for this season!

Burgundy Jumper and Statement Necklace

As you may know burgundy is one of my favourite colours so a jumper in it is a must have! This particular one is from Boohoo and is super comfy and cosy! 

I also have been trying to wear more jewellery and have been loving statement necklaces recently as they bring something extra to an outfit. This one is from Mirina Collections and you can get 20% off  the entire site with the code 'charbeauty'!

Boots

Boots in fall are a must. This pair are from Debenhams and are super comfortable. I've got a lot of wear out of them and they are still going after two years! 

Warm Coat

I got this beautiful coat from Miss Selfridges when they were having their student 20% off discount. It is so beautiful and I can't wait for the weather to cool down more so I can actually wear it without over heating!

Trench Coat 

I have been wearing this jacket from New Look pretty much every time I've gone out this month. It's quite thin so you won't over heat but also keeps you warm when it's slightly chilly!

Faux Leather Jacket

I got this jacket from Primark for £14 so it was a total bargain! A leather jacket makes any outfit look edgy and is great to just throw on when in a rush.

Tartan Shirt Dress

This is also from Primark and was around £10 I think. I've worn this with leggings, boots and my trench coat and it's a super cosy, fall appropriate outfit! 

Thank you for reading :)
