ELF Long Lasting Lustrous Eyeshaodw in Confetti *Review and Swatch*

  I've heard people rave and rave about these the ELF Long Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadows, and I'm sure someone said they were a dupe for something from a brand like Armarni or maybe even Chanel but personally I'm not a huge fan. I did prefer the darker shade I picked up but both of the shades I got seemed a little to sheer, to patchy and just not what I expected. 

Confetti if a white shade full of white/silver shimmer. When the shadow is swatched it seems a little white but is mostly just shimmer but on the eye it is even more sheer and would be something I would only use as a 'top coat' for my shadow. For some people that might be great, but if I want a shimmery shadow I would just use a shimmery shadow and that extra stuff is just a step I don't need to add to an already long routine.

The packaging is nice but you can tell it's from a cheaper brand. The plastic lid screws onto the plastic base, but it doesn't feel like it's air tight. That isn't great because the mousse like product can dry out even quicker than normal. 

Like I said, I've heard people rave about these, but I just don't get on with them. So, I won't be picking up any more and these ones will probably be passed on to my mum to see if she can get any use out of them.

These are £3.75 here on eyeslipsface.co.uk if you want to try them or see the other shades they have. 

Hopefully the next review will be something a bit better, but I like to add some not so great reviews here on my blog so that people know what not to buy as well as what to try out. 

Thanks for reading, and have a lovely day

ELF High Definition Powder in Translucent *Review*

 

The ELF High Definition Loose Powder is a white silca powder meant for setting foundation and creating a HD base. It retails for £6 on the ELF website, and is hyped up as a dupe for the Makeup Forever HD Powder.

 
The packaging is really chunky, and quite impractical. The black is really nice and sleek, and the shape is interesting and something quite unique but it's not something you can throw in your bag and it doesn't travel well. 



The puff is a nice addition, and it helps keep the powder from flying every where if you keep it in the jar. It does get horribly dirty if you use it to set foundation, and does look gross but it's decent quality, and works if you don't have a brush. I preferred to use the real techniques buffing brush or powder brush with the powder though. 



The powder is really nice. It sets foundation really nicely, knocking out the shine and keeping the liquid in place. It is translucent, at least on my skin tone, and doesn't leave a white cast. I haven't tested it with flash photography, so I can't tell you anything about flash back. It lasted such a long time, like most loose powders, and because it's a nice finely milled powder it doesn't cake up foundation to easily. 

Overall, I think the ELF HD Powder is so worth it. I would say try it if you want something that keeps foundation in place, gives you a more perfected look and it is really affordable.

ELF HD Blush in Diva | Review and Swatch

 ELF HD Blush in Diva, £3.75, Link

The ELF HD Blush in Diva is 1 of 5 shades offered by ELF currently in the UK. At £3.75 you get a lot of bang for your buck with a huge 10ml. It seems even better value when you realise you only need a dot of product for both cheeks. 

Diva is a bright fuchsia pink shade free of shimmer and sparkles. It blends over the skin to a matte finish. It dries/sets really quickly so you need to be quick when blending and precise too. Once it has set this isn't going anywhere for at least a good few hours. If you make a mistake there isn't a quick fix, you are going to have to take off all of your face makeup in order to start a fresh. 

It it incredibly pigmented meaning it is easy to make mistakes and is a blush for people who prefer a colour to really pop. I personally prefer blushes a lot more subtle than this so I don't reach for this. I also tend to have a heavy hand and like something that I can fix quickly if I make a mistake.  

The packaging is really nice, very similar to that of the Makeup Forever Cream/Liquid blushes but I find that the pump dispenser pumps out to much product even if you want a really intense look. I end up with a messy, stained hand after using this and i just can't be asked to deal with that. 

I would like to try some of the lighter shades because I found it lasted well on the skin for a cream product. Perhaps the lighter shade will be easier to work with and leave a little more room for error.

PS: Excuse the crappy pictures. I have long since thrown away the box so couldn't retake the picture, but at least you get to see how it comes. 

ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream in St. Lucia | Review and Swatches

ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Cream Duo in St Lucia, £3.75, link

The ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Cream, currently available in the UK in the shade St Lucia, is a duo of cream products supposedly perfect for creating a healthy glow on the skin. ELF suggests applying a small amount of the bronzer into the hollows of the cheeks for definition and around the face line to create a healthy glow. They then suggest using the blusher on the apples of the cheeks to create a subtle glow.

The texture of these cream products is great. They are really creamy and they do give the skin a dewy quality without making it look greasy. For something that stays dewy, they have a good lasting powder on the skin also. They worked well applied over foundation, before any powder but can cake up the skin a little if you apply them over a powder product. 

The bronzer is a matte cream which is quite orange based. For people with really pale complexions, I don't think this is cream bronzer if for you. With a very tiny amount and a lot of blending it might work but I would suggest trying something else. 

The blush is also matte and is quite warmed toned. I'm not sure it's going to work with cooler skin tones but I think it can work for fair the medium skin tones by using a heavier hand for the darker tones out there.

Both creams are highly pigmented, and strangely that is where this product falls down for me. It's just to pigmented meaning it can be harder to blend and is just too much on my skin. I can make it work with something like a stippling brush and an extremely light hand but I don't reach for it because I can't be asked to work with it. 

The packaging is very similar to other ELF Studio compacts and to that of the Nars compacts. The main difference between ELF and Nars is the texture of the compact. The ELF is plastic while the Nars has a nice rubberized effect to it. Nars compacts feel more luxurious but does get dirtier and is harder to clean than the ELF counterparts. 

Overall, if you have a warmer skin tone and range from light to medium this might be worth a shot. The texture is really nice but for my fair skin tone it's just a bit to pigmented for me.

ELF Eyebrow Kit in Light

The ELF Eyebrow Kit is a palette containing a duo of a tinted wax and defining powder. It comes in 4 shades ranging from ash up to dark brown. I choose the shade light, because really ashy tones don't look so great with my red hair. 



The tinted wax is great for taming my brows. It gives them a hint of colour but mostly it helps hold and unruly brow hairs in place. It also help me lay out a foundation for where I am going to apply the powder. 

I use the wax first and follow it up with the powder. The wax not only tames the brows like I said above but gives the powder a base so it shows up a bit more pigmented that when it's used alone. Using that combination is great if the shade is a bit to light for you or if you want a bolder brow. You could use the wax or the powder alone for a more subtle, natural look, but bold brows are a favourite of mine at the moment so I combine the two. 



I also found that using the wax first and then the powder on top gave the brows a more natural look. If I used the wax over the powder but it caked up slightly and made my eyebrow appear patchy and very obviously drawn on. It wasn't a good look. 

I picked this up when it was half off, but it retails for £3.75 normally so it's not going to break the bank if you don't pick it up on sale. It comes in decent packaging, with a brush that I still use to apply the product and it has a tiny mirror that you could use if you needed to. 



The compact shape and size is very similar to that of NARS eyeshadow, but it is very plastic-y in comparison to NARS and the clear window showing the product is different from NARS too. 

I would recommend picking this up if you fill in your brows. The product is great quality, extremely cheap and they have a shade that (I think) would suit just about everyone. It's a very similar concept to the Benefit Browzings or the Sleek Brow Kit but it's so much cheaper. 

You can pick this up here for just £3.75 here, but ELF always have some kind of sale so check out there Facebook or Twitter pages for coupon codes to save some dosh!

Dissapointing Product | ELF Mineral Lipgloss in Wild

I love ELF (or Eyes Lips Face). They can be hit and miss with the overall quality of their products, but for the price there really is no room for complaint. 

 

ELF Mineral Lipgloss in Wild, £3.50, link

I picked up the ELF Mineral Lipgloss in Wild when they were offering 50% off of the already insanely cheap prices. 

 

 

I'm not the biggest fan of this lipgloss, but I didn't have high expectations to start with. The gloss itself is actually great. The formula isn't drying or anything like that (Yes, Lauder I'm talking about you) and it's not to sticky. 

 

 

I don't mind the wand to much. It's the standard doe foot applicator that most lipglosses come with, and there really isn't that much more to say about that. 

 

The thing that I don't like is the stopper/wiper off-er bit (is there a technical term for that?). It's takes off far to much of the product so you get very little to work with. Because the sponge if left so dry of product, you don't get a glossy finish on the lips and it can pull off the colour of any lipstick you have. 

 

 

 The swatch above to me about 6 swipes of gloss. You cann build it up to be quite nice, but it's just not worth the effort. I just don't reach for this, and I wouldn't recommend the Mineral glosses from ELF. 

You can see this, and some other products featured on my last Disappointing Products post here! 

PS: As I write this, I feel like it makes no sense. I apologize for that but apparently I've lost all ability to form sentences and even words.

Products I Regret Buying : Hair Dye, Lipgloss and More

 
Is it wrong that I love writing posts about products I regret buying or disappointing products? I really do love it because it's all well and good sharing products that you love and adore, but I think it's important to share things that don't work for you. I'd like to be warned if I was thinking of buying something that was crap. So, without further or do, I leave you with my list of crap products.

L'Oreal Mousse Absolue (Shade 425) 

This seems like a brilliant concept to me! I need about 1 and half dyes to go all over my hair, root to tip meaning half of one dye gets wasted every time I dye my hair. With this being reusable (even if was more expensive than some) I thought it would work out being better value for me. 

It would have been better value, had this worked. It barely took to my hair, only really showing up in the mid lengths. My roots looked completely untouched, and overall my hair looked quite patchy. 

My hair takes colour really well, but with this it just looked awful! I won't be wasting another £10.99 on this, and I would rather just have a little left over with hair dyes that actually work. 

And this fades worse than even semi-permanent dyes. I used to use the casting creme gloss and it latest nicely in my hair. This has faded about 5 shades in just three washes.  

Charles Worthington Hair Healer Leave In Conditioner

I normally get along with any leave in conditioners. I mean there are ones that are a million times better than others, but they all at least so something for me. This does nothing other than make my hair feel slightly crispy. Unlike many leave in conditioners, this is a gel texture rather than a cream. Even on wet hair, I found that it sat on top of the hair like a gel rather than sinking in a nourishing the hair like a conditioner should. It's not going to break the bank, but for the price I did expect more and from now on I'll stick to my Tresemee treatments from now on.   
 

Mellor and Russell Nourishing Hair Oil

I picked this up in poundland, thinking that even if it's not brilliant to oil will be great for helping tame some of my dry frizz but this cannot even do that. I've used this on both dry and wet hair, and it was terrible in both situations. On wet hair, it felt like I'd just added water on my hair. It didn't help condition my hair in any shape or form. On dry hair, it gave it the weirdest texture EVER. My hair has never felt like this, and it then created a very strange sound because of the texture. Not even worth £1. 

FashionistA Ready To Wear Brush on Concealer 

I brought this when I was in desperate need of a concealer on the way to uni. I'd done my makeup really poorly, I had blemishes gracing my chin and they were big enough to see from space. I grabbed this thinking I could pop it under my eyes (it had been a late night) and I could blend it over the blemishes to cover them a little. This didn't help with either.

Under my eyes, it was to heavy in texture. It creased slightly, and even with the heavy texture it didn't really cover anything all that well. It did slightly cover the darkness, but I get better coverage from everything else I've tried. 

On my blemishes, it did nothing. It covered not redness and blended to nothing. I could feel it on my skin, but it didn't cover anything. It was uncomfortable to wear, and I just wouldn't use this again. 
 

Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation (120)

I grabbed this from a blog sale, and was told it was the closest shade to the NC20 range at MAC. It's so far from that, it's just not. It's very orange in colour and I just cannot see that suiting many skin tones. 

I also hate the texture. On me, no matter what base I put on, it was thick and cakey. It didn't blend well, it went patchy and I won't even leave the house in it.
 

Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream  (Extra Light)

I wanted to love this. I was on the look out for a summer foundation product, and after finishing my Even Better from Clinique I grabbed this. I stupidly just brought it right off the bat without trying a sample of anything like that.  

I should have tried a sample first because even thought it felt and looked nice when I tested it on my hand in the store, when I use this on my face it's awful. It sits on top of the skin rather than blending into it. I can that I've got makeup on from a mile away, and it just leaves a really sticky texture on my skin.

I tried tweeting Clinique to ask for tips on how to use this, but I've had no answer so I've given up. I've written this off as a lost cause, and have gone off in search of my summer makeup love. 
 

Nivea Young Be Beautiful Tinted Moisturiser

I grabbed this for the huge expense of 20p in Superdrug one time. I was new to makeup, and really wanted to find a great base product. I thought this would be great for everyday wear because I've loved nivea for quite some time and the tint was just what I was after. 

The shade is meant to be universal but I really don't think it is. It is very dark and I don't think it would suit many people. If there was a shade range, or if this was just a few shades lighter I would have loved it. It offered a nice coverage for a tinted moisturizer, but I just cannot pull this off.  

Wet n Wild Xplode Gloss (E84803)

I picked this up for the huge price of 85p on cosmetics fairy. I was putting in an order and thought that I would try out the lip gloss. I picked a lighter shade, hoping that it would be the most universal. 

The shade is just not good. It's really light, and very metallic. Even in the centre of the lips or all over, it looks awful. It's very unflattering, and I can't see this suiting anyone of any skin tone. 

The one upside to this is that is smells amazing. You literally want to eat it. 
 

ELF Mineral Lip Gloss (Wild) 

I would love this is I could get any of the darn product out. I love the colour, and I love the texture of the gloss once I've finally got some product out. 

It takes me putting the brush into the pot about 10 times to get enough product to cover the lips.  

 Estee Lauder Pure Colour Gloss (Copper)

I snapped this up in a three peice set in Superdrug when it was on cleanser. I think I paid less than a fiver for the three, and I fell in love with two shades. the pink is great for using in the centre of the lips to make them look fuller. The clear gloss is great for all over but the copper shade is just really unflattering.

It's insanely metallic for one thing, and the orange tone just doesn't suit me. It was very unflattering on the lips, alone or over colours and I just cannot use it.

Winter Lip Must Haves | Lipsticks, Balms and Seals

I'm a bit late with this post, but we've still got some of the winter time left so I thought I would still put it out there. I wanted to share my favorite winter lip products so lets get on with it!

I have some major lip issues so good balms and moisturizers are essential for me. I tend to use a combination of products like these to help keep them looking a little nice. I reach for long wearing products and products to help keep the lipstick feathering when if I have cracked lips and dry skin around the lips . love a good dramatic lips in the winter time so I tend to pick darker lips colours, but also if I play up my eyes when I do a look, I like to have a nude in my makeup bag as well.

  

These are the lipstick colours that I've been reaching for this winter: 

Barry M Lip Paint in 156

Does it make sense if I call this colour my bright dark lippy? It's a nice pink/berry colour that gives a nice pop of colour on the lips while keeping on trend. I like the Barry M Lip Paints, and this is no exception . It lasts a fair amount of time, and doesn't dry out my lips too badly. 

Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick Sloane's Plum 

This is my purple lipstick favourite. It's the perfect plum for me and it stopped me picking up a much more expensive lipstick from MAC which I think is similar to this. I's not drying, and it lasts a nice amount of time too. It can be put on quite sheerly or built up and it looks great either way. 

 

Rimmel London Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in 107   

Everyone and their mum is talking about this, so I won't say much but it's a nice nearly matte really vampy red that looks good on just about anyone. It can be a bit messy to apply but with a good lip liner it lasts a long time and stays on the lips. 

 

Revlon Colour Burst Lipstick in Creme Brulee 

This is my go to winter nude at the moment. It's a balm and a colour so it keeps the lips from drying out and it's easy to apply. This has replaced my Blankety lipstick from MAC which I adore, but it snapped so this is my go to nude now!
 

 

To keep my lips looking soft and nice I've mainly been using three products, along side a lip scrub: 

Blistex Relief Cream 
I apply this morning and nice ad it's the Blistex Relief cream. It's a thick cream products with a cooling menthol feel and it keeps my lips moisturized through out the day.
 
Balmi Lip Balm in Coconut 
I use this through out the day over or under lipstick. It gives me a shot of moisture on the lips, smells great and the packaging is really cure too. 
 
Balance Me Rose Otto Intensive Lip Salve
I use this as a gloss/balm. If I want to add some shine to my lips I'll add this over the top. It keep my lips moisturized and it makes them look a little glossy too. It smells like rose, which I'm not a fan of but I can get past that. It give the lips a nice little tingle and does what it says on the tin.

The other two products are kind of random, but I love using them especially in the winter. 

ELF Lip Seal 
This is a product I've never seen anywhere else, but I wouldn't be without it! It's a clear, balm like substance that you apply either to your lips as a primer of sorts, or around the edge of your lips (outside the lip line) to enure that any lipstick you are wearing doesn't bleed, and stays in place on your lips. I think this is brilliant because when my lips dry up lipstick bleeds more than normal and it's not a good look. This is a total savior for me! 
 
Max Factor Long Lasting Lip Colour 
The colour has come off of this one in particular, but I've been loving this formula from Max Factor. It lasts a long time and they have a nice selection of colours. They do tend to go a little crispy, like most long wear lip products but with a gloss or balm they look great all day!

Some Current Favourite Lip Type Things

Revlon Lip Butter, ELF Lipstiain and Gloss, L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick, Sleek Matte True Colour Lipstick, Sleek Pout Paint, Barry M Lipstick

Lipstick is one of my favorite things about makeup, and since getting into them my other lip products like stains and tinted balms have been rejected. I've been favoring traditional lipstick over almost everything, and decided that enough was enough. I need to start using some of my other products because they are never going to get used otherwise. After using some of the 'other' type products for a while, I wanted to bring you a favorites. 

Yes there are a few lipsticks thrown in there because I couldn't abandon them all completely but now I use a nice mixture of products to start using them up!  

Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee link, ELF Lip Stain in Birthday Suit link, L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick in Lovely Rose link, Sleek True Colour Matte Lipstick in Paypaya Punch link, Sleek Pout Paint in Rosette link, Barry M Lipstick in Green Turns Pink link.

Revlon Lip Butter - Creme Brulee

This is a lipstick of sorts, but with the texture and shade this is more a tinted lip balm than anything else. It's super mositursing, and it leaves a nice nude hint of the lips. It doesn't last all that long but you don't need a mirror to touch it up and it doesn't leave my lips dry in the slightest. 

ELF Lip Stain - Birthday Suit

This was the first ELF product that I ever brought, and probably the first lip stain I got too. It's a traditional long wear lip colour, where you apply the lip colour all over the lips and leave it to set. It dries almost matte, and creates somewhat of a film over the lips. The gloss on the end (sometimes it can be a balm) it just there to make sure it doesn't go disgustingly crusty or dry. I like this because it does wear fairly well without drying out, but the colour is my favorite thing. the bright pink (while reminding me nothing of a birthday suit) is a nice bright pink that gives me a nice pop of colour on the lips.  

L'Oreal Rouge Caresse - Lovely Pink 

This is marketed as a lipstick but it's not really. It's tinted balm. The colour, while beautiful, is very sheer and the product itself leaves the lips feeling nice a mositruised. The colour fades evenly, and it can be touched up without a mirror because it's so sheer and easy to use. the packaging is gorgeous, and reminds me of something much more expensive than £8, and this is just great for days when I want something more subtle. 

Sleek True Colour Matte Lipstick - Papaya Punch 

This is the only traditional lipstick that I have in the bunch to be honest. It's a beautiful orange matte colour that is super cheap, long lasting and great for vibrant lips. Sleek lipsticks are amazing, and the matte ones stand out to be because they are really matte. I love the Kate Moss matte lipsticks as much as the next person but they aren't truly matte. These are the only affordable lipsticks that I've found that leave a great pigmented colour on the lips and are really matte. They can dry out your lips but if you top up your lip balm every so often you avoid that gross dryness and get a great colour.  

Sleek Pout Paint - Rosette

I posted a review on these I think, and wasn't really the biggest fan. I used to hate high maintenance lips but now I've learned the error of my ways. These pout pains are essentially the same as the OCC lip tars, and are just a really highly pigmented liquid lip product that lasts forever on your lips. These can be hassle to apply and end up really messy but if you only use a very tiny amount, and good precise lip brush you will get a nice vibrant colour on your lips that lasts a good amount of time too.  

 Barry M Lip Paint - Green turns Pink 

So, this is a lipstick I suppose. It's looks like a lipstick and applies like a lipstick but it's green! It terrified me at first because when I pulled out tester in Superdurg I was like "who is going to buy that?" but after swatching it I realized that it turned pink on contact with the skin. It applies a thing layer of colour on the lips, and it has a stain like finish and effect. It's a great product and it scare people when you pull out green lipstick. It's hilarious to see their reactions.  

P.S: I have a giveaway running at the moment to day thank you for following my little ol' blog! Check it out here!  

Awesome Blushes on a Budget

I am on a spending ban. I am literally so close to running out of cash that I’m down to buying food to live on and that’s it. So, there won’t be any new reviews for a while but I was looking through my collection deciding what I could post about and the blushes I have stood out to me. I don’t have the best or biggest collection of blushes because they aren’t my favourite part of makeup, but the ones I have I do really like and I thought I would share my opinions on my favourites with you.

 ELF Blush and Bronzing duo link, ELF Blush link, Topshop Cream Blush link, NYX Rouge Cream Blush link and Natural Collection blush link.

 ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Duo 

This is a pretty popular duo I believe, and I can see why. It’s a great way to get a bronzer and blush that complement each other really well and for such a cheap price. I’ve also heard that this is a dupe for NarsOrgasm and Laguna, which is great considering it’s £26.25 cheaper than the Nars compact. It’s got shimmer in it, which can be noticed if you are to heavy handed but overall it’s a nice natural looking duo that can work for even pale girls.

ELF Studio Blush in Passion Pink

I know that ELF can be a bit hit and miss, so this might not be the greatest thing for everyone but I adore this blush. It’s a nice bright pink colour that isn’t to pigmented. That would normally be a bad thing but because of the brightness of the colour the lower than average pigmentation makes it easy to use. It gives a nice flush to the cheeks and it’s a nice matte colour so you don’t get chunks of glitter on your face.

Natural Collection Blush in Pink Cloud

These blushes are only £1.99, and they are amazing. They are better quality than most more expensive blushes that I’ve tried. They are nicely pigmented, super blendable and they last a decent amount of time. The shade pink cloud is one of my favourites, and one of the brightest in the range and the other colours are more natural. It’s one of the only brands in the drugstore that I’ve found that do really neutral/nude coloured. 

Topshop Cream Blush in Neon Rose

I’ve raved about this until I’m blue in the face so I won’t say too much. These are fantastic, and I think I own every colour that they had in the Oxford Street store. They blend nicely, they have amazing pigmentation and they packaging is lovely. The finish on these is nice to because it goes on like a cream but sets and lasts like a powder.  Just all around fabulous, in my opinion. 

NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Golden

This blush is gorgeous, and a really nice neutral colour with golden shimmer. It’s a little too creamy, but the colour is lovely so I work with it. It works nicely when you use a brush or your fingers. It’s a little hard to get a hold of in the UK but I’ll link it above. I know these are easier to get in the US. If you’re from the UK, and putting a NYX order in online would highly recommend this.

Top 5 Blushes | YSL, Topshop and ELF

I never used to be one for blush, but recently they have become my obsession. Now, with summer supposedly just around the corner, cream blushes have found there way out of storage and into my makeup bag. 

So, today I wanted to share with you my top 5 blushes of the moment. So, in not particular order, I give you my favourite blushes of the moment. 

5. ELF Studio Blush – Pink Passion

At only £3.50, this matte, bright pink blush is a favourite of mine. It's decently pigments, the packaging is nice and it blends really nicely. It can fade a little though out the day, but I don't mind considering the price. A total must have for me!

4. Topshop Cream Blush – Head Over Heels

This is the only orange toned blush I've found that I can wear. Usually they look awful on my but with the pink tone also in this blush these look great! It's great for summer and the cream to powder formula makes it long wearing.  It easy to apply and super blendable, so a great all round winner for me. Read my full review here!

3. YSL Blush Variation - Shade 2

I fell in love with this the moment I got it. Not only is it super luxurious but it's a great colour and formulation. I love the colour, and it leaves the most amazing finish to the cheeks. There is  a little hint of shimmer in there but it doesn't make you look like Edward Cullen, but rather leaves a nice luminous finish to the cheeks.

2. Topshop Cream Blush – Neon Rose

I've already said I love the formulation of these cream blushes, so that gives this one big tick right away. The colour of this gives it another huge tick as well. The beautiful yet subtle pink colour works with almost any makeup look and works great on my skin tone. Read my full review here and here!

Topshop Cream Blush – Flush 

Yes, this is the third Topshop blush in my favourites but I love them just that much. This colour is my favourite of them all. The bright pink can be blended to a more subtle look or built up to make the cheeks pop! It's just the right tone of pink for my skin tone.  Read my full review here and here!
