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.

Gorgeous Berries is the darkest blusher in the range. It is what it says on the tin, its a berry shade (Its a purpley/Pinky shade). The formula is a powder and a highly pigmented powder at that. It does have a creamy element to it but its not a cream blush..what? Its hard to explain - when swatching it feels too smooth to be a powder..its not powdery - there we go! I will say the first time i applied i looked like Aunt Sally (google images!). It was not the look i was going for… don't be too heavy handed with this shade.

Once i got use to the application (not too much) i loved the effect of this blush! As they are a marbled/baked product they have a sheen/highlight effect when in light which gives that healthy glow look. MaxFactor state 'Multi-tonal shades designed to blend and build effortlessly, to achieve the perfect sweep of colour.' and i completely agree, it's different each time i wear it! I can't wait to try more so i can compare colours and finishes.

#MYBEAUTIFULSTRUGGLE

I don't really know what I'm going to call this blog post. I have to discuss Jordan Bone's latest YouTube video "My beautiful struggle". This video had over 25,000 views in 24 hours! ( Congratulations Jordan) . The point of this video was for Jordan to show her viewers The struggle she has to apply make up. It's almost like a behind-the-scenes about how difficult it was to learn to do her make up. She is a positive, beautiful, ambitious inspiration which makes her the perfect role model for so many different people not just those with disabilities. It's not easy to put a video like this online for everyone to see. To admit that you can't do most things for yourself and have to ask for help with everything is difficult. Down to silly little things to normal people ( able people ), like brushing your own hair or dressing yourself. Do you take that for granted ? Maybe ? You probably don't even realise your morning routine is completel...

June favourites 2015

These are A few products that I have been loving in the last month. They are all actually fairly new because my birthday was the end of May. Clinique Turnaround Overnight Revitalizing Moisturiser I visited Bicster Village for my birthday and bought this moisturiser from the cosmetic company which was heavily discounted - WOO! I've been really struggling to find a decent night cream. I have dry skin but also have quite a lot of redness. Since I've been using this I have noticed my skin is a lot less dehydrated and looks brighter in the morning. It claims to be helping with sun damage and anti-ageing which sounds good to me. CHARLOTTE TILBURY Brow lift eyebrow pencil This is literally the best eyebrow product I have ever used! It's got a spoolie brush, a browbone highlight and obviously the pencil. 3 in 1 ticks all the boxes. I've not been very good at doing my eyebrows in the past but this is so easy to use! Well worth the money. ...

July Favourites 2015

Not many make up favourites this month because I haven't been wearing much make up recently. New to me this month the Bourjois colour boost lip crayon in peach on the beach. A Tescos bargain find at £2!! It's a glossy finish which needs reapplying a few times. It feels like to lip balm but with a decent colour payoff. My Nars radiant creamy concealer has been my best friend this month! (Running out - cry!). I have been on antibiotics this month which have caused me to break out... Good old concealer! It's an oldie but a goodie. If you haven't heard of this product then it's really worth the money because it covers well, lasts all day and doesn't crease. Paired with concealer I have been wearing my Mac mineralise skin finish powder in medium plus. Which is also running out! Brilliant for a "no makeup makeup", great coverage without looking "powdery". The Maxfactor 2000 calorie mascara is...
