FeelUnique now stocks Laura Geller Beauty! A name I'd not heard of personally before, but I'm keen now to try more products after using this primer!

It claims to help your makeup glow with it's added shimmer, I wasn't really that sure if it would work, I'm also a primer snob and wasn't sure how long it would makeup my makeup last.

I opted for my Tarte foundation, I adore this, but it usually doesn't last all day on me, even with my Smashbox primer so this was a test! It actually lasted longer, which I'm delighted at as this is cheaper than my everyday primer! It's £24 for 59ml of product compared to Smashbox is £25 for only 30ml. By the end of the day I was a little shiny at the sides of my nose, but I didn't mind too much.

In person I wasn't sure if my skin looked any different, but I did feel in pictures my skin looked more glowy, check the two pictures I added, I feel I look more radiant than normal, do you agree?

I love the box the primer comes in, it's so pretty with it's almost rose gold finish, the actual product doesn't look as fancy, but hey I guess that helps it be a little more affordable?

I made sure I only used a small amount at a time on my face with this primer, it glided on smoothly, I didn't feel my face looked that sparkly, it seemed it collected on my fingers anyway. I also applied my foundation with my fingers so I guess that helps make sure you use all the product :) It says this is the tinted champagne version, but it made so difference in the colour of my skin.

Have you used an Laura Geller makeup? If so which would you recommend?

My hair history & announcement!

Going through your Facebook pictures makes you realise how much you've changed over the years!

I was never allowed to colour my hair growing up, I remember asking to go red when I was 10 as a girl at my school had and I loved the colour. But I was always encouraged to keep my hair long and to not mess with it. I on off had a fringe from the age of 7 - 11, with the rest of my hair all being one length until I was 15. For some reason I then decided to get a million layers and proceeded to hate how thin I'd made the ends of my hair!

It wasn't until I was 18 that I did anything interesting in terms with changing the colour of my hair. See picture 1. I had light brown streaks put through areas which I loved! This was when I'd moved away to Uni, this is where it all began. I think it was the freedom of not living at home, finally being of an aged considered as an adult, and I was finally allowed to do what I wanted with my own hair.

A year later I decided to have my waist length hair cut to a pixie crop, this also removed the lighter brown streaks and I was more about experimenting with style over colour. For 3 or so years I had lots of amazing styled short cuts, blunt fringes, bobs. In that time I also started colouring it red, I couldn't really achieve any other colours with my hair being so dark.

Fast forward to being 22 and I've graduated Uni, moved back home and had the urge to go pastel pink. I blame Tumblr.. I had no idea if it would suit me, I'd broken up with my boyfriend and I wanted to reinvent myself. It was a long process due to the red I'd been adding to my hair previously, with the first bleach it went bright orange! I had this for a week, then proceeded several bleaches over the course of a month or so and I was ready to go pastel pink!

Realising the actual up keep of pastel hair, I often ended up going back to platinum, for the fact it washes out so quick! I had a blue rinse, it then was the perfect white shade, I've over toned my hair and it's been grey.

I discovered extensions and played around with those too. I had 5 inches of my hair cut off last summer and wore it short for many months. Playing around with purple dyes to give my hair an ashy tone and purple ends. I've let my roots grow out, I've gone back to extensions and played around with different colour gradients. 

I just love how easy it is to change up your hair with pastel colours!

I so excited to announce I've teamed up with Schwarzkopf Live Color for their 2015 lookbook! Live and I have been planning a custom colour for a brand new look for my hair, sticking with some well loved colours, but applying them in a totally different way to have I've done in the past. I'll be keeping you updated with behind the scenes pics etc over the coming weeks and months. To see more check out livecolor.co.uk

FeelUnique now stocks Topshop Beauty!

I've use a few Topshop Beauty products in the past, I'm in love with my highlighting glow stick, lipstick in shade "All about me" and have several of their nail varnishes too, those products are all of great quality and value.

Straight away I painted my nails, clear top coat first, then off I went with this beautifully dark brown/red shade, although I cannot see a name for this colour unfortunately on the packaging! I applied two coats for the perfect streak free final colour.

I've only tried a few lipsticks by Topshop, and those were just the normal matte finishes. This was is called a lip polish, interesting name I thought. I LOVE this formula! Really pigmented, glides on smoothly, it's creamy without feeling too heavy or sticky. I really want to try more colours in this formula as it stayed so well and didn't try out my lips.

The eyeliner I've yet to try, but have heard good things! I had one once in a goodie bag but it was so try I threw it away. Reading the directions though, it says to store nip down. I do really like felt liners so I am excited to try this, I'm just quite a snob!

I feel recently my style is changing again, perhaps it's just because this tends to happen every A/W and S/S for me, but I feel I'm being more drawn to simpler outfits, with a more chic look. If you follow my instagram you'd of seen I've not really worn colour for the past 3 months, apart from the odd party dress and disco pant. This may change as usual in the summer where I jump into wearing the usual pastel greens and other lovely colours.

I've noticed I'm re-looking through my wardrobe and feel some things aren't me anymore, and they end up on my depop. (Shameless plug, I still have lots for sale on there, shipping worldwide too, user "leannelimwalker".)

I love this outfit, very simple and flattering to my shape. I seriously am in love with my riding pants, finally something that sits high waisted on me! I've had these for almost 3 years now and own 4 different colours. I have a long body and short legs so these help balance that out. The jacket works well as it's cropped, this cut helps to show off my shape rather than skimming my waist which can make me look straight up and down. These boots are also so so comfy! I wear them all the time and they add a good bit of height to me too.

Can we take a moment for that amazing Baia bag! I'm shooting their new collection next month and I'm so excited to see their new designs. I am in love with this Dalmatian print! Love it too? Well have it made in any of their bag styles in their made to order section.

Do you feel your style has changed over the winter?

 When I'm not wearing my Primark grey coat, or Whistles leather jacket I'm in this beauty. I get so many compliments for this jacket, it's such a nice style and length, people are always shocked when I say it's Primark!

I may be slow on the whole Michael Kors watch thing, but I finally got one! It's nice to have a statement, yet everyday gold watch. It also goes perfectly with my bag.

If you follow Fashion and Fitness blogger Lydia, then you should recognise the background! I went to stay at hers and shot some outfits too :) Thank you Ali for taking my pictures, even getting on the floor to shoot my boots!
