Beauty retail giant Feelunique has collaborated with fashion illustrator @moomooi - Meredith Wing, whose clients include Cosmopolitan, Coach, De Beers and Rebecca Minkoff - to launch an exclusive limited edition accessories collection for Spring/Summer 2016. Wing is known for giving her illustrations a 3D effect, by using flowers, fruit, vegetables and other material along with the drawings. The collection, which includes makeup accessories, bags/fashion accessories and iPhone accessories, is inspired by the Pantone Colours for 2016 - Rose Quartz and Serendipity.

The whimsical collection, which combines beauty, fashion, art and flowers, includes a kabuki brush, a makeup bag, iPhone cases for iPhone 5 and 6, a tote bag and a travel wallet.
@moomooi Kabuki Brush
This is my favourite product in the entire collection. With a wooden handle and a metal ferrule, the brush features the same beautiful fresh flowers and the Eiffel Tower on the handle.The bristles are made of sheep hair, and the brush is nice and dense, but not scratchy in the least. Flat-topped kabuki brushes are my favourite face brushes and I'm always reaching for them - can't have enough. I've used this brush with beautifully buffed results, and found that there wasn't any shedding when I washed it. The brush costs £14. Buy it here.
Makeup Bag
The canvas makeup bag is a generous 19.3 x 28cm. I love the fresh floral design. There is a blue faux-leather tassel and a gold-coloured metallic zip. The bag costs £12. Buy it here.
iPhone Case for iPhone 5, 6 and 6S
The iPhone cases are my second-favourite items in this collection. I love that the case is transparent, apart from the whimsy design. This way, I can show off my rose gold iPhone 6S - my previous cases covered up most of the back and no one could tell it was rose gold. A few colleagues have already wanted to know where I got the case. Each case costs £10. Buy the case for iPhone 5 here, and the case for iPhone 6 and 6S here.
Both cases without the phone:
Tote Bag
The tote is entirely made of strong canvas, and measures 40cm x 35cm. This is my favourite design of the lot. I have been keeping this bag in the car - I avoid getting plastic carry bags from stores whenever poss., and take my own bag when I shop in-store. I hit the local secondhand bookstore a couple of days ago and found that the tote can hold quite a few heavy books nicely. The tote costs £10. Buy it here.
Travel Wallet
This is a basic wallet with a mirror and room for a couple of cards or an ID and some spare cash. Any wallet in my handbag is usually jam-packed to bursting point, so I won't be using this for all my cards and cash. My driving licence is always in my car, so I'm going to use this to hold my licence, and put it in the glove compartment. The wallet costs £9. Buy it here.
Verdict and where to buy:
I love everything about this whimsical floral collection. The quality and feel of the products is great; nothing cheap about any of them. The Kabuki Brush has joined my daily rota of brushes, and the other products will also be used and loved.When the Pantone colours for 2016 were announced, I wasn't a huge fan of Rose Quartz and Serendipity - I usually prefer deeps to pastels. But I love how this collection has brought them together as romantic pinks and tranquil blues, with a fresh watercolour feel. Love delicate and feminine designs.
I would love to see more such collabs and collections from Feelunique. I hope an Autumn/Winter accessory collection is on the cards - I can't wait to see it!
