REVIEW | NYX | Taupe Blush




As a fair skinned girl I struggle with contour colours or bronzer colours, everythings always orange and muddy. I can't stand it so decided to finally get the fair girls Holy Grail, NYX in Taupe. 
First look it's not a very blush shade is it but I'm telling you this is amazing for contouring, it does what I want without that hideous orange glow! It looks like an actual shadow rather than 'I've tried to contour' as it's very cool, I want to say almost mauve undertoned. I have a strong yellow undertone in my skin so I can say it works well for us yellow skinned babes.

W7 | First Impressions



Recently I've been playing with these items from W7*, W7 is known for low price but good quality products and is a brand I'm quite familiar with as it's sold in a few shops near me and I'm an avid fan of their In The Buff Palette.

They've recently worked with Playboy to create some lovely pieces and my favourite items are definitely the lipsticks. From left to right these are Centerfold Pink, Playboy Red & In The Pink all colours that are wearable and despite Centerfold pink being bright it doesn't come out as garish looking and it's probably the one I've worn most even though I thought at first thought I'd never wear it!
The formula glides on and is soft, they have a slight lavender smell but it's not unpleasant. Playboy Red seems to wear really well and I don't find it just vanishes it fades nicely. I also received the Playboy Mascara and it's been in my makeup bag since, it's a very wet mascara and they're my favourite so I shall be taking it on holiday. The Playboy Polishes I received are in Fluro Euro and In the 90's, In the 90's is AMAZING, lovely silver shimmery colour and one coat does the job! It'll look brilliant as an accent nail colour especially against Fluro Euro.

Sleek Blush | Rose Gold

I seem to be creating a blog dedicated to blusher lately but it's all down to the fact that I've been using MAC Fleur Power for about 3 years and never using anything else I thought it's time for change.
I've always wanted to try the oh so popular Nars Orgasm (£21.50) so in true form I found a dupe. ( I also seem to be running a dupe's blog!) After lusting at the Nars counter I had a reasonable idea of what it looked like then I searched online for a dupe and the Sleek Rose Gold blush was massively mentioned but I also noticed that it's a dupe for MAC Style blush (£18) too!

REVIEW | MUA Blusher | Cupcake, Candyfloss & Bon Bon

 MUA Blushers // Superdrug // £1 each for 2.4g

What can you get for £1 these days? Not a lot but as always MUA prove you can get your moneys worth. I've been wearing the same MAC blusher on and off for around 2 years and always go back to it but lately I've noticed I don't actually like it! I was on the hunt for some new bits in Superdrug and had a quick look at the MUA stand I then noticed they'd changed the packaging on the blush. I used to have a few and they all smashed so hadn't gone back but the new packaging lured me in and seemed much better, the lid stays shut and the overall product isn't huge and bulky in my makeup bag and looks super sleek. I picked up the shades Cupcake a soft peach shade, Candyfloss a pinky shade with rosey pink flecks of shimmer in and Bon Bon a brighter Apricot shade. I don't tend to like shimmer in my blush so it's nice to find some matte ones as I'm pretty sure cheaper makeup brands think glitter explosion chic is always in?
