MAXFACTOR CREME PUFF BLUSHES

(30 Gorgeous Berries) When i saw the release of these blushers i was skeptical because of the Creme element - instantly thought STICKY. The MaxFactor Creme Puff Blusher are new to the drugstore in the UK ( Boots & Superdrug ). There are 6 shades in this range. When swatching i thought glitterin'hell - i'll look like a disco ball with these blushes! The lighter shades such as 5 Lovely Pink and 10 Nude Mauve may be more of a highlight for medium skin tones. I have seen that these blushes are a DUPE for Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushers  which are £28! In my eyes that makes these MaxFactor blushes a  bargain  at £8.99!  Im not sure if some shades are online exclusives as i was looking for 20 Lavish Mauve , it was impossible to find!  I bought mine in the shade 30 Gorgeous Berries .

Ugly?

Do you ever have those days where you just really hate the way you look? Yeah me too I'm having one of these weeks this week.  I just feel like it doesn't  matter what makeup I put on or how I do my hair, I just don't look good - I feel ugly.   Confidence is a weird one.

My eyes - i love the colour of my eyes but i hate that i have a lazy eye (i call it qwock eye) and my left eyelashes don't curl - NO MATTER WHAT! My cheeks - I like the shape of my cheeks for blusher but hate how chubby they are, i can't contour with them. YES have you noticed? I didn't - i made every like about myself a hate. How is that possible? I struggled in the first place to decide 3 things i

January favourites 2015

January favourites, the first favourites of the year and for the first time on my blog. I wanted to do a 2014 roundup favourites but was a little late so I figured I'd do my January favourites which could also combine into what I got for Christmas I suppose ;) I have filmed my January favourites on my YouTube channel it was a colab with Sarah V. All links below :) It's been absolutely freezing during January and my skin has suffered for it thank goodness for the Clinique moisture surge moisturiser. I've been using this for a few months now but have definitely been reaching for it more this month as my skin is really dry. I love that this is very light on the skin and feels more like gel texture than creamy like most moisturisers. I like to put a thick coat/layer on at night so that it sinks in throughout the night and just a small amount in the morning after cleansing - perfect!  To go with my Clinique moisture surge moisturiser I have been using my Laura Mer
