Top 5 Favourite Blushes!

I've always been a big fan of blush. With bronzer and highlighter i go through stages as to whether i like using them or not but blush has always been a staple for me to look vaguely normal. That little pop of colour that makes you look healthy and glowing really does make a difference on me so without further a do i will tell you my top favourite blushes.

I'm going to start off with my least favourite out of the five but by no means a bad blush. In fact I only purchased this blush a few days ago and it has already made it into the lucky selection which says a lot, right? This blush really is gorgeous and peachy and creamy and lovely. What nicer things could i say about a blush? Anyway, the formula of this blush is so creamy and it really does glide on to the skin. It really compliments my skin tone and i think i will be getting a lot more use out of this bad boy as the summer is approaching.

Please excuse the lovely bumps in this blush, the Real techniques stippling brush and the blush make a beautiful couple and it would be rude to split them up so i guess we have to deal with the consequences. As you can see from the picture it's a lovely natural colour whilst also adding a subtle pop of colour which i personally adore.

My fourth favourite blush is the Sleek blush in Suede. I remember buying this blush and getting home and just  sitting there in awe of this blush. I don't have anything like it because it's a slightly dark orangy/tan colour that could look very bad if applied in the wrong way. However a light hand and a fluffy brush along with this blush gives you great looking cheeks!

This blush was quite cheap and i also think the packaging is quite cute although it's a nightmare to open especially when you have newly painted nail polish on. Let's just say it's not good! Despite the slightly annoying opening i have to admit that this blush is seriously gorgeous and a great bargain.

Next up is Topshop's blush in 'Head over Heels' now this blush was on my wish list for such a long time and everytime i went to a Topshop store they had always sold out but once i had given up hope and i went to Topshop and me and my friend saw and it was a beautiful moment and i have never looked back! Sorry about the over exaggerated moment but i thought it was necessary to create the right illusion. Now this blush is also very cheap but the colour on this blush really is extraordinary. It is the most pigmented blush i have ever tried and it glides onto the skin like a water plane gliding on water, no joke!

 If you can get your hands on this i definitely would recommend getting it because both the formula and the colour of this blush are both great!

My second favourite blush in the Nars blush in 'Amour' and this is my first and only Nars product that i own and let me tell you am i impressed! It was a risky purchase for me as it is so expensive but i felt like indulging myself and the pigmentation on this blush is out of this world! I've never had anything so pigmented in my life and i literally have to tap my brush so lightly in the blush and it's enough to do both cheeks so i know this will last me a long long time!

It's a lovely rosey colour that gives you a lovely rosey glow and i wore this blush to death during spring and i think it's a blush that would compliment any skin colour.

And now the moment you've all been waiting for, or probably not but this is my favourite blush of all time! It's a Mac blush and it's in the colour 'springsheen' and this was one of my very first blushes that i EVER bought and still to this day i don't regret it in the slightest!

This blush is a pinky peachy blush with gold shimmer running through it and my oh my does this look fabulous! Putting this on your cheeks in the summer is amazing and i seriously adore this blush so much and i know for a fact that this blush will be very well used during summer and i may need to be repurchasing this blush in the future. It truly is perfect blush!

Maybelline Haul

Today, me and my friend went a little Maybelline crazy in Boots because of their 3 for 2 offer that we couldn't refuse. We both picked up three things and i'm going to share with you my purchases for the day.
For the past month I've been doing quite a few exams, therefore my exams have taken priority. However, I've now finished all my exams and i couldn't wait to get my hands on some new make up products I've been eyeing up for a while!
The first thing i knew i definitely wanted was their 10 hour tint gloss which is basically a lip stain in my books. Obviously i can't give a proper review as i only bought it today but I put it on my lips today around 1 o'clock and I've got to say it's still going strong at 7 o'clock now so i must admit i'm rather impressed!

I got it in the shade 160 - Forever Fuchsia, despite me testing every other colour there and debating for a while i came to the conclusion i needed to be brave for the summer.

It's a gorgeous deep fuchsia colour that stains the lips but without drying them out which i think is the real selling point for this product. I know i'm definitely going to be wearing this a lot this summer as i can apply it in the morning and i don't have to re-apply after every drink!

This was £6.99 which i didn't think was too bad considering the quality this product offers.

Then their dream matte powder started to catch my eye. I had been using the Natural Collection powder for some time now to get rid of the oily mess on my face and as much as it did the job at only £2 I still felt there were other powders out there longing for my love as sad as that sounds! I've decided to see what other powders are out there and compare them to my trusty natural collection powder and this was the first one on my list.

It comes in very sleek and lightweight packaging that would be easy to chuck in your bag to use during the day. When i swatched it in the shop i noticed that the consistency was much smoother than my previous powder so i'm very excited to see how this looks on the skin.

I got the lighter of the two shades in 02, Rose Ivory but to be honest i feel that these powders could be suitable for lots of skin tones as they seem to disappear onto the skin leaving only a matte finish.
It also comes with a mirror underneath the powder and a little applicator that i guess could come in handy when applying it on the go. However i doubt that i will use the little applicator very often as they can get a little unhygienic if you ask me.
This was £7.19 and the most expensive product i bought but i couldn't help myself as I've been eyeing this product for some time now and i thought it was about time to try it out.

Last but almost certainty not least, i picked up their dream touch blush on a whim last minute as i would have got it free from being the cheapest of the products.

The shade I bought was 02 - peach which is a bit different me as i normally stick to pink blushes so i went all out with this cream blush if you ask me. It's a very creamy product and i was very impressed with the initial consistency as it really does blend right away into your skin leaving a lovely sheen of colour of your skin.

This was £6.49 but i got it totally free, I can't argue with that!

These three products came to an amazing £14.19 which i was very pleased about considering how excited i am to try them and i would urge everyone who can get themselves to boots to go get your hands on some of the great deals they are currently offering, you wont be disappointed!
