MAC Powder Blush - Frankly Scarlet
Sunday, 23 September 2012
Hello Lovelies!
I own one of the MAC 6 blush palettes so I thought I would go through all the colours I have, similar to how I'm eventually going to work through my two MAC 15 eyeshadow palettes. I only have 5 blushes from MAC at the moment, but really that's only because I can't decide which colour I want to be my 6th!
Frankly Scarlet is one of my favourite blushes. It looks a little bit scary in the pan as it's bright red. A little bit of this goes a long way as it's highly pigmented, so a bonus is that it'll last for ages!

NARS Highlighting Powder - Albatross
Sunday, 19 August 2012
Hello Lovelies!
Now, I'm sure every beauty blogger/makeup fanatic and their dog has heard of NARS Albatross highlighter. And as it has been part of he NARS makeup collection for, like, ever, there will be an abundance of blog posts about it. But, one more cant hurt, right?
This was my first ever "proper" highlighter. Before that I completely stayed away from all forms of highlighting and attempts to look "glowy" as I have greasy skin and was obsessed with looking matte. Obviously I have since realised that glowing and greasy are a different thing, so yay me!

Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush - 54 Rose Dust
Saturday, 18 August 2012
Hello Lovelies!
I wanted to do a quick post on this blush, because I've featured it in a couple of my 'What I'm Wearing', 'FOTD' and 'MOTD' posts. I'll start off with the bad news, this colour is discontinued - basically because I've had it for about 4 years + (this product being my first EVER high end beauty purchase). However, it looks almost identical to Rose Ecrin from the current line of Joues Contraste blushes.
Most of you will probably be thinking that it's gross that I still have this and surely it must be due for the bin. But it's still as perfect as the day I got it. It hasn't turned a funny colour and the smell hasn't changed, and most importantly it doesn't affect my skin when I use it. Also, considering these blushes now retail for £31.00 it would be pretty ridiculous to get rid of it at this point. I'm positive that I didn't buy it in the first place for that price but I have no idea what I did pay for it!

Signature Chanel Packaging
Benefit Thrrrob Box Powder Blush
Sunday, 15 July 2012
Hello Lovelies!
I thought I'd do a quick little review of the first and only Benefit boxed blush I purchased. I'll be honest and say it didn't amaze me so much that I thought I HAD to have another colour, but it may just be the one that I chose isn't as good as others.
What attracted me to this blush was the firstly the box, I love the design of the packaging - and I didn't own a pale dusty pink blush either! The powder has a very fine shimmer through it, which you can't even see when you apply it to your cheeks. I'm not a fan of overly shimmery blushes myself anyway; but why have it in a blush if you can't see it all? I like the colour when it's applied, but as there isn't a lot of colour pay off you need to use a LOT of it. Also I'm not a fan of the brush because it just seems to absorb so much of the product.
Illamasqua Cream Blush - Lies
Saturday, 7 July 2012
Hello my lovelies!
I bought this a couple of months ago, and I've been loving it! It's from the Illamasqua Cream Blush line, but it's more of a cream highlighter. If you look at it on the Illamasqua website here, you can kind of see that's what it's intended for, as I think it's far too pale and there isn't a genuine colour pay off with it either! As it was a highlighter I wanted I'm happy with this product.
For all photo's I took one with and without flash.
