Hi my beauti’s!
I’m back again, this time with a post on makeup. Although I am not a makeup artist or someone with a background in beauty, I still believe I can shed some light on the subject, due to my intense passion for all things beauty related. This brings me to today’s topic… Highlighting!
I can tell you now that I am a sucker for a good, affordable highlighter. A strong highlight definitely adds a touch of glamour to my everyday look. However I feel as if it is quite difficult for us brown girls to find the perfect highlighter. Simply because not all highlighters complement our skin tone. When looking for a highlighter I believe we should go for something that has a warm tone to it. Above I have included some that I think are just gorgeous!
The Milani Baked Bronzer works well as a highlighter for brown skin as it has a golden glow to it and is very pigmented (a little goes a long way with this product).
Seventeen’s Instant Glow is probably one of my favourites because of its multiple uses, it can be used for the eyes, highlighting and contouring!
Moving on to the Milani Baked Blusher, although it is a blusher it can still be used as a subtle highlight as it is a very light pink with a hint of gold.
Lastly my two current faves which I use together for a intense highlight. The Makeup Revolution- Vivid baked bronzer which is highly pigmented and has a beautiful golden bronze shimmer to it and the Benefit- Sun beam which comes in liquid form with a brush applicator (like a nail polish brush) it is a stunning bright gold and can be built up for a more intense look or just a few dots for a natural glow. I usually dot this across the top of my cheek bones, under the arch of my brow and along the centre of my nose, then blend it out using a beauty blender.
That’s all for now! Do follow and check out my previous posts if you are new to Uni-Beauti. Also comment the link to your own blogs so I can check them out!
Stay beautiful.

Hello My Beauti’s
I hope you are all well. If this is your first time here check out the about page to see what Uni-Beauti is all about. I am super excited to share this DIY coffee scrub with you. As it has become my favourite skin care product and I use it RELIGIOUSLY! I guarantee that once you try it you won’t go back to any other exfoliating skin care product. Seriously I’m that confident about this scrub.
Altogether my ingredients cost £9.50! Which is MUCH cheaper than most shop bought coffee scrubs. Let me start by telling you about the benefits of using coffee scrubs. Firstly it is a fantastic exfoliator and is not harsh (for those with sensitive skin), It reduces blemishes, pigmentation, stretch marks, scars and cellulite. What can’t this scrub do?
Ingredients:
Ground Coffee- 1-2 cups (make sure you don’t use instant coffee as this will dissolve)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 10-12 tbsp.
Coconut Oil – 2 heaped tbsp.
Rose Water -3-4 tbsp.
Pour all your ingredients into a bowl and stir so that everything is distributed evenly throughout the mixture. Store in a air tight jar or container and keep it in the bathroom.
As a long term eczema sufferer this scrub has helped to heal my skin so much. It cleared up within two weeks (It’s a miracle right?) and I’ve stopped using prescribed creams as they only treat the eczema temporarily. If you have eczema try out this scrub and moisturise using coconut oil.
That’s all for now my loves. I hope you do try out this scrub. You won’t regret it!
Love
Uni-Beauti
