Top 5 Blushes





So along with Nail polishes another of my obsessions is Blushes I can't seem to go into a store without buying a couple it's kind of like the Magpie to Diamonds effect so I thought I would do a post on my Top 5/ Most used blushes which turned out to be a lot harder than I thought so here they are -



Top SugarBomb,Pink Swoon. Bottom Dainty,Well Dressed Coralista

1- Benefit Sugarbomb-  I think this could well be my all time fave blush, I use this on a daily basis when I'm going for just an everyday look and minimal makeup it has 4 beautiful shades and when blended together is just stunning and I think would suit any skin tone, and SO happy I hit pan on it as means one step closer to buying a new one.

2- Mac Well Dressed- This was one of my first Mac blushes I picked up I think and it's been in the wars as you can see with all the scratches in it :( but I love this, it is a satin blush so the pigmentation is not the best but if you are looking for just a hint of colour to ya cheeks then this is perfect.

3-Mac Dainty- Is my fave mineralize blush from Mac I think, the pigmentation is incredible so a little goes a long way, I prefer this on nights out as it has a nice amount of shimmer in it which personally I think would be a bit too much for a daytime look but I adore this blush and is just a stunning shade.

4- Benefit Coralista- Another blush I am head over heels in love with, I have repurchased this twice now, as at one stage this was the only blush I wore, it's the most perfect Coral shade which is perfect for the summer months and is definitely a blush I will always have in my collection, to me it's a stable.

5- Mac Pink Swoon - This is a sheer tone blush so the pigmentation is not the best which I actually like for this blush anyway as it's quite a vibrant pink So i like the face that you only need a tiny amount for a lovely flushed look on the cheeks or if you want to wear it on a night out then of course it's easy to build up for more colour.

I apply my blushes using my Real Techniques Blush Brush which is pretty amazing.

What are you're fave blushes? Any you swear by? Let me know.

MAC Blush Love

Top Pic L-R PINK SWOON,DAINTY, SWATCHES L-R DAINTY,PINKSWOON

Pink Swoon -  Firstly this is a sheertone blush so the pigmentation is not fantastic, but when I was looking around for a new blush I just wanted a nice baby pink shade which i could just wear everyday to work and in general and would just give my cheeks that nice 'flushed' work and this ticks all the boxes. I apply it using my Real Techniques blush brush as find it picks up and depoists more of it than my other brushes. So if you are looking for a nice everyday spring time baby pink blush to give a nice natural colour to ya cheeks this is the one for you.

Retails for £17 and can be purchased online,instores such as Selfridges,House Of Fraser,or any Pop up MAC store.

Dainty- Is the first Mineralize blush I got from MAC and my love for this keeps growing come spring time iof I can't decide on a blush this is the one I always reach to, it is such a beautiful  pink shade with hints on shimmer in,described on the Mac website as ' Light Yellow Pink with hint of Gold' In the pan you can't see any shimmer then when I swatched it using my fingers it has stunning little flecks of shimmer in it which make for a perfect blush on a night out. With it being a mineralize blush you can have this as bright or as subtle as you wish as you can layer it up, It is a dream to apply and again I use my Real techniques blush brush for this which I adore as well.

These retail for £19.


What Blushes do you like at the moment?

I wanted to share with you a product I have been reaching for every single day for the last month or so and that is MAC MSF Soft and Gentle.

L-R W/out Flash , With Flash


L-R W/Out Flash, With flash and blended

I have so much love for this product it is a stunning  marbleised shades of gold, bronze and is described by MAC as a overall ultra-deluxe polish to the face.

Personally I just use this as my highlighter for my cheeks and also down my nose sometimes as well, I've tried many highlighters and Benefit Girl Meets Pearl was my 'Holy Grail' in highlighters until I met Soft and Gentle and now I am hooked.It gives such a beautiful glowy/healthy look with a hint of shimmer.

 I know I will be re purchasing this once it runs out which I don't think will be for a long time yet.
I also love how it applies so easily, like a dream really. I've heard some people use it as an eyeshadow as well, which I can see could be quite pretty but personally for me I'll be sticking to just using it as my everyday highlighter.

Have you tried MAC MSF Soft and gentle? Thoughts? What highlighters do you like?
