Addicted to Blush Tag



I haven't been tagged by anyone to do this, but I saw Ling from the Cosmetic Critic blog do it and it's been a long time since I've done a post about my blush collection in general! It's definitely grown in recent months, and this tag asks some interesting questions. Let's get on with it!

------

 What Colour of Blush Suits you the Most?

I wear any colour of blush that I feel like- if I had to pick one, though, I'd say red blush suits me the most. I asked my roommate, though, and she said anything orange.

Pressed/Cream/Loose Blush?
Some cream blushes

I don't fuck with loose blush. At all. Or loose cosmetics other than face powder. And I wear cream and gel and mousse- anything non-powder- blush exclusively in the spring and summer, and powder blush exclusively in the fall and winter.

Favourite Shimmery Blush?

I don't have that many- almost all of my blushes are matte- but I wear essence's silky touch blush in Autumn Peach enough to make up for my lack of shimmery blushes. It's a peach- a colour I don't normally wear- with a gorgeous golden sheen that I can't get enough of.

Favourite Matte Blush?

Illamasqua's Excite. It's a bold light orangey red, it's soooo soft and smooth but pigmented as all hell. One light tap of a stippling brush and you're done.

Favourite Cream Blush?



Mmmm I'm cheating here and using a gel blush- the Josie Maran Watercolour Cheek Gelees. They're sheer, which I normally wouldn't like, but they're soooo blendable and gorgeous and natural and look literally like watercolour on the cheeks.

Favourite Drugstore Blush?

I don't wear it as often as I used to, but I used to love the HELL out of my Joe Fresh Colour Adjust Blush in Coral. It's so bright!

Favourite High End Blush?



Maybe my Clinique Cheek Pop in Pansy Pop, because it's unique in my collection. I love purple! The formula on this is nice, but the pigmentation is a little lacking for me- it's very buildable, though, so I guess it doesn't matter. Basically, I pick Pansy Pop because I don't wanna answer with Illamasqua's Excite for, like, every question...

 Favourite Bright Blush?

Aaaaand that goes to Illamasqua Excite again. So! Bright!

Biggest Blush Disappointment?

Ugh, NARS Orgasm. I don't like it. There's glitter in it and I just do not like it at all- I'll take essence's Autumn Peach over it any day of the year.

Best Blush Packaging?

I love my Milani Rose Powder blushes. The gold-coloured plastic and the intricate powder petals really do it for me.

What's on Your Blush Wish List?

The Hourglass Ambient Blushes! I want them alll...

Number 1 Holy Grail Blush?

The first one I ever got. I finished my old one- and for someone with a collection like mine to actually repurchase a blush is a big deal. It's the Body Shop All in One Cheek Colour in Bubblegum.



Well, that's the tag! I don't know who's done this tag already- but I'd love to see Chelle from Makeup Your Mind and Julie from Swatch and Review do this!

    Autumn Peach is such an amazing shade. I've also worn down the pattern on mine!

    Also, Illamasqua's Excite looks amazing. If I'm over in the UK, I'm going to have to look into getting that one.

    Thanks for the tag! I may schedule it for over the Christmas since it'll be an easy post to get done in advance before I go on vacation!

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...
