My Top 5 Drugstore Spring Blushes

The sun is shining, and I can walk my puppy without having to dry her paws! It's spring! And for me, spring means bright blush!

Here are my top 5 budget-friendly blush picks for the season!


Here they are, all artfully arranged on an actual backdrop. I'm moving up in the world, folks!


1. NYX Stick Blush in Tulip.

Easy, sheer, creamy and blendable, this blush is cute as heck- and makes you look even cuter than you already are! It's a gorgeous pinky-mauve that's seriously dewy without sinking into pores or wiping right off your cheeks.



2. Joe Fresh Colour Adjust Blush in Coral

I love this blush to death. If I could only wear one blush this season, this would be it. It's a gorgeous apricot that leans pink on me, while still being peachy.


3. e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal (I know the cap says Pink Lemonade but that's because I mixed up the caps!)

This is actually a liquid highlighter but it's essential for spring- and it's only a dollar! It adds a glow to my face that my powder just couldn't hope to imitate.


4. Joe Fresh Mousse Blush in Pink

This blush is just pure cute. It's a bright lemonadey-pink that melts into your skin! Perfect for those days you want to go without foundation because of how hot it is.


5. Joe Fresh Mousse Blush in Melon

I've got a serious thing for Joe Fresh blush, okay? This is an orange whipped blush that goes great with blue eyeliner.


Here's the swatches!
In order top to bottom,

NYX Tulip
Joe Fresh Coral
e.l.f. Lilac Petal
Joe Fresh Pink
Joe Fresh Melon

Happy blushing, everyone!

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I ...

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This...

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop...
