Beauty Advent Calendars launching 2016 - Top Picks

From luxury to affordable, this year is no exception to find your top advent calendar.
I will admit, only last year was the first time I actually ever had a beauty advent calendar, I was always tempted to buy ones from the clothes show when they were on a special offer but went away empty handed. 
But now it's got to the point where all the launches of Christmas gifts, wrapping paper and cards have hit the stores and we get cheeky glimpses of beautiful packaging with delicate doors to open on the countdown of Christmas. 
But the amazing thing is opening these travel sized or full sized items to get continuous use out of them till the new year!

So shall we have a look at what Beauty calendars are out now or soon will be?
Get your wishlists at the ready!

My 100th Blog Post!



I still can't believe that i'm writing my 100th post, Do excuse me while I literally pinch myself...Yes It's real; Blogging for me has become not just a passion but a part of who I am. 
I've been blogging for over 2+ years now, and believe you me, I didn't think it would come this far. It has helped me build my confidence by attending blogger meet-ups along with going to events such as The Clothes Show Live! I use to have days where I was to scared to even leave my house but the lovely support of the blogging community has really helped me come out of my shell.

I've thought hard about what I should do for this post, firstly I want to thank my readers for standing by my blog and have become great friends to me, especially the support from Twitter you have all been amazing! 
Also I'd like to mention those I have met along the way from PR staff to independent business owners for taking the time to collaborate with UniqueLoveStyle.

Now i'd love to share with you some pictures that has highlighted both my 2013 and some from 2014!

Lots of love!

Professional Palettes and Make-up Essentials with BeautyEasier.com*




BeautyEasier is a company which has been providing beauty products since 2008 and are constantly updating and bringing new knowledge for their customers experience. 
 All the products they carry are produced cruelty free and no animals are harmed. Even though some companies still test on animals, they do believe that it is unnecessary, unethical and is scientifically unreliable. As they want to be sure that their products are safe on humans, their products are rigorously assessed and tested by human volunteers.

BeautyEasier.com kindly sent me some of their products to review for my readers, all comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to do so.


Products I will be reviewing - 28 colour shimmer make-up palette (smoky-eyes), 10 colour blush palette, Manly 64 colour eye-shadow palette and SixPlus Flat Top Synthetic Foundation brush

----------------------------------------------------

The 28 Colour Shimmer Make-up Palette for Smoky-Eyes



I was extremely excited on this palette's arrival, Mainly because I'm passionate on creating the famous smoky-eye look. My first thoughts were how reasonable the pan sizes were, for using this in a professional manner there is a well made layout of eye-shadows that vary in shades.
The palette was easy to open with a clear cover slip on top of the eye-shadows which helps protect but also keeps them hygienic when working on sets. The case itself is a firm sleek design which is easier to store and travel with; although there is no mirror inside this wasn't an issue for me personally and with the way I'd use the palette.
For 28 shades there is something for multiple looks that can be created, the way I'd use this palette for a smoky eyed look would be placing a darker shade on the outer corners, creating a slight winged v-like shape and blending it into the crease to then use a medium shade close to that colour for the middle of the eyelid blending it softly out. The shades provided can be both for an intensified or subtle look and are all a shimmer base finish. These shadows are highly pigmented and reasonably priced which includes Free shipping! A perfect palette for any make-up artists kit.


-----------------------------------------------------

10 Colour Blush Palette



Now this is a palette I've not had before, so to have the opportunity to review it I was over the moon! This is a 10 pan blush set which as you can see has an array of shades for every skin tone. From soft pastel pink to a pinch cheeked colour these matte blushes are perfect for both professional and day to day use. In single use the shades are an opaque full coverage, but with the texture being so soft they're much easy to blend to the desired consistency. Another thing which I loved about this palette was that you can use the darker shades for contouring! I'm very impressed with the quality of the product and is perfect for a make-up kit when you want to try both highlight and contoured looks.


-----------------------------------------------------

Manly 64 Eye Shadow Palette







Now this set is much smaller in size to the other palettes I would suggest it's easier for travelling with, with a total of 64 colours this is nicely layered within the palette. I was more surprised though of how small the single colour sizes were, at 1.6cm diameter it can be much easier to result any product fall out to mix with another; This would be my only fault with the product. As for the choice of colours, there really is every shade to create either a bright colourful look to a dark intense look the shadows also have a slight shimmer to them, some more than others, which should be noted but with a silky texture and wonderfully pigmented. The case itself is perfect for the products to slot into with a glossy finish its easier to keep clean!


---------------------------------------------------------

SixPlus Flat Top Synthetic Foundation brush



Last but not least is the SixPlus range that produce professional make-up brushes, This one I was sent is their Flat top foundation brush. This has a strong aluminium handle and synthetic hair which is so soft to the touch, it's perfect for a flawless finish. I used this brush within my normal make-up routine, even though it stated that it works best with mineral foundation I was tempted to give it a whirl with my Benefit Oxygen Wow liquid foundation. Only using a small amount I worked it into my skin, using the brush in a circular motion as it blended thoroughly. I can not explain how soft this brush is! It was an airbrush finish over all and worked perfectly even on the driest patches on my face. I'm very interested to see how the rest of their brushes are but this is perfect if you have sensitive skin or using a much lighter liquid foundation or powder/mineral.
