Nars | Blush & Bronzer

Hi Guys,

So as you can see by the title of the post, this is a review on Nars blush and bronzer.

These have both been staple items in my make-up collection, and I'm so excited to share my thoughts about them with you.

Up first is one of their bronzers, I've got Laguna. I picked this one because it is the one I've heard a lot of great reviews about it from other bloggers and Youtubers. At first glance I thought it looked a bit dark, which for me isn't always the best of things because I'm quite pale. but when I swatched it, I found that it doesn't come out quite as dark as it looks like it should do. it’s actually a really nice golden colour, perfect for the summer months. It’s very much a matte bronzer, which I prefer, it also apples really nicely, and can be easily blend-able to look completely natural.

£27.50

Now on to the blush, firstly can I say I didn't realise how small the blushes were, I knew they were smaller but not this small, it’s about half the size of the bronzer. however packaging aside, it is a very good blush. I've got deep throat, which is a darker slightly shimmery colour. I prefer the darker blushes now, not too sure, I've just found myself reaching for my darker blushes over my lighter ones.

So again like the bronzer, it apply nicely, blends amazing and is just a perfect blush, and I would highly recommend it. So I defiantly think I might have to expand my Nars blush collection soon.

£23

Primark Makeup 'P.S love' Review.

Hi Guys,

I've been hearing rumours that the newly branded make-up collection from Primark is actually quite good. which is why I made a little trip down to Primark to try a few bits out for myself. I didn't get a whole lot, but I did get a variety of things that look like they should be good. 

So to start with I picked up a powdered blush, and a cream blush stick. now the powdered blush seams a little bright, but if you put it on lightly then it can be a pretty and subtle colour. Its not as pigmented as I'd hope it would be but overall its a decent blush. however the cream blush stick isn't so good. its very dry and doesn't apply very well, if I'm honest its better as a lipstick than a blush. 

So, their foundation stick was the one thing I was a bit weary off. Purely because its very hard to come across a foundation, that is long lasting, a good coverage AND the right colour. now because its a stick its not the easiest thing to apply, but it is defiantly a good colour match and has good coverage, its very creamy, unlike other foundation sticks. there beauty blender isn't the best beauty blender in the world, but its usable in an emergency.

In my personal opinion their eye-liners are the best products that they sell. They are jet black, and a hell of a lot better than some high end eye-liners. They apply perfectly, and stay on for a long time. 

Mascaras are another things that people can be quite picky about. everyone has a certain way that they like their lashes. And if you like long lashes then you'll love this mascara.

Now on too eye-shadows, I was so hopping that this eye-shadow pallet was going to be amazing. but sadly I was wrong. When I got home and opened the box and the eye-shadows I found, that 2 of the colours had smashed. Which was really disappointing. the colours themselves are soft and don't seam like they last very long. I tried to clean the palette up as good as I could, but as you can see it didn't go too well. on the upside the variety of colours in the palette is pretty good. 

Overall, I personally think that the Primark Makeup 'PS love' isn't as bad as people would assume. it does have its ups and downs but so does any other make-up brand.

Thanks for reading.

My Top 6 Blushes.

Hi guys, its autumn,

For this week’s blog post, I thought I’d share my Top 6 Blushes with you. Now I have to admit I'm not a massive fan of blushes, quite often I’ll completely forget about them when I'm applying my make-up each morning.  I do however have quite a wide range of different blushes, but that’s mainly down to the fact that I still haven’t found one that I'm 100% happy with yet (my signature blush, if you will). But I shall continue to hunt for that perfect blush, that is out there somewhere with my name on. I'm defiantly more of a contour girl than a blush. 

So in at number 6 is a blush from ‘Bourjois’

Healthy Mix, bonne mine 41

£7.99

This is a cute little blush, perfect for carrying around in your handbag. Which is probably one of the only reason I use this, I don’t like to carry around big chunky make-up items in my make-up bag or handbag, I prefer to keep things minimal. So because I don’t have any other blushes this size, it becomes my go to blush for traveling. I'm not saying it’s a bad product at all, but like I said earlier I'm not a massive fan of blushes. 

At number  5 we have a Blush from ‘Max Factor’  

Flawless Perfection, 223 Natural Glow.

£6.99

As you can see there is a compartment for a small blush brush, but I tend to take them out as I don’t use them and they just get in the way.

Now for a high street blush, this is pretty good one, it’s a bit dark for my liking but the store I go too they only had 2 choices. It is highly pigmented and gorgeous dark pinkie colour. I don’t wear it as much as I would like to but I defiantly think it’s more of a winter/fall colour because it is a little dark, but that’s just my opinion.

Number 4, is a Blush by’ Mac’

Pro Longwear Blush, Rosy Outlook.

£20.00

Many of you will be surprised to see a ‘Mac’ product at number 4 and not at number 1, because most people rate all ‘Mac’ products very highly. Now I'm not saying it’s a bad product because if it was then it wouldn't make it into my top 6; but I'm not saying it my favourite blush either. The reason why it is in my top 6 is because it is still a very good quality blush, and on the right days can look quite nice. I guess what I'm trying to say is that me and this blush have a love, hate relationship, some days it look horrendous on me, but on days that it wants to cooperate then it looks stunning, if I do say myself. As you can expect it is highly, highly pigmented, and lasts a long time. 

Number 3 is a blush from ‘Estee Lauder’

Pure colour blush, Mauve Mystique Shimmer  16.

£27.00

This blush is undoubtedly a gorgeous colour! It’s such a deep red/pink colour, it’s almost perfect. Which is why it has to be in my top 6, the reason why it isn’t at number one is because it isn’t my most used blush. I really don’t wear it enough if I’m honest, but as you can see it’s such a bold daring colour, you have to be in the mood to wear it comfortably.  It’s a tiny bit darker than the max factor blush. I would recommend any of the ‘Estee Lauder’ blushes to anyone, because they are such good quality and there is a colour for everyone. The photo doesn’t do it justice, it sparkles so much.

Number 2 is a blush by ‘No7’

Natural blush tint powder, soft damson.

£8.00

I am quite a pale person, which is why I don’t wear darker blushes too often. I tend to go for the lighter pinks for a few reason, first of all because I feel more comfortable wearing them, secondly because they are more everyday colours. They give your cheeks just that hint of colour nothing to dramatic, just simple, pretty and pink. And thirdly because I love love love to wear dark or bold lips, so having a light pink blush just completes the look. And for the price it is, it’s a bargin.

Finally at number 1 it is the gorgeous blush from ‘benefit’

Dandelion

£23.50

Well as you can see I have hit pan severally on this blush, which can only mean one thing… it’s been well loved. This was my first ever high end product, and it was brought for me by my mum on one of our girly days out. This is the perfect colour for me; it’s got a hint of colour, a tiny bit of shimmer and lasts for ages and ages. Now I am not the biggest fan of benefit if I'm honest, but I do have to give them credit for their dandelion blush because it its utterly perfect.
