OOTD, Chanel tweed Blush Swatch & Mini Review

Hello lovelies!

 I am happy to announce that the sun has arrived in London and the weather has been beautiful these past weeks, therefore I have been taking every opportunity to dress up in my summer outfits before the sun disappears again (which is very often).

Top: Mango
Belt: NEXT

Skirt: Zara
Shoes: Kurt Geiger

Sunnies: H&M

Chanel Blush in tweed coral. 

 

So pretty!

 

Without flash, it was really hard to swatch for some reason. You can see though, that it is a very light coral pink.

With flash, you can see it's a lovely shimmery coral. It's quite similar to Sleek's Rose Gold?

No flash

Likes:

- It's really natural looking, if you want more colour, you can gradually build it up.

- It has some shimmers in it, unlike other blushers, the shimmers are discreet. Comparing this to Rose Gold by Sleek, you can definitely see a difference in quality. With Rose Gold, you can definitely see the shimmers and you have to really control how much blush to apply to avoid the caked-on effect. With Chanel, the shimmers are not as intense, it gives you a glow rather than looking cakey. 

- Great quality

Dislikes:
- the price may not suit a lot of people; £30.

I definitely recommend this blush if you are willing to dish out £30 for a blush, but it's definitely not a "must have", it's more of a luxury product.

Hope you enjoyed this post! Lots of love, xX <3

REVIEW: Sleek Blush in Flamingo & Rose Gold (Dupe of NARS Orgasm)

Hi all, once again thank you for all your lovely messages, i'm glad you enjoyed the previous Sleek swatches!

Here is my review on two of Sleeks blushes with swatches

L-R: Flamingo and Rose Gold WITH FLASH

without flash

L-R: Rose Gold and Flamingo

I don't know why I swatched them in a different order... Ooops.

1. Flamingo £4.29

No flash, wearing Flamingo

With flash- Flamingo

I wore this same blush in my last sleek review. Flamingo gives a natural flushed pink cheek look, i've applied more than usual here in the pictures so it would show up on camera. In life, it looks really nice and natural. The blush isn't too messy even though it's quite powdery, I hate blushes that go everywhere... In regards to it lasting, I would say Flamingo lasts all day for me, obviously fading a little throughout. Overall 4/5, pretty pleased with it seeing as I wasn't going to buy it but couldn't resist the bold pinkness! In addition, it is well worth its price, less than £5, what more could I ask for?

2. Rose Gold, this is apparently a dupe of NARs orgasm, unfortunately I haven't got that blush so I can't compare it, but my friend assured me and she showed me someone's blog comparing and I have to admit they looked very similar, but Rose Gold was more shimmery (sorry i totally forgot to note down that blog, we were discussing make-up during a lecture which was so naughty of us! I'll try find it again)

I know, such a terrible picture I can't believe I'm even posting it, but everytime I wear Rose Gold i always forget to take a picture of it so we'll just have to settle with this last minute one where I even forgot to smile...

Rose gold- with flash

This is a light rose colour with golden shimmers, the blush is extremely shimmery which is perfect for summer. Everything I said above for Flamingo applies here too. Although the blush is extremely pigmented it doesn't look bad on my cheeks, as in it doesn't make my cheeks look odd, it's pretty natural but in the sun you notice the shimmers more. 

Once again I would rate this 4/5, same price as Flamingo.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post. I won't be blogging for a while (about a month ish) as I have exams coming up. In the mean time, stay happy and well, I will be popping in to read your blog posts every so often and ofcourse I will always check my comments.

See you guys soon! Lots of love xX

Paul & Joe Face blush in 001 review

Hey everyone,

This is a review on Paul & Joe Blush in 001

I use the lighter pink as a highlighter for my cheeks

L-R: Light pink, Darker pink, and both mixed together, I think my camera couldn't pick up the last colour well.

L-R: Light pink, Mix of the both and Darker pink

I only applied a very light layer which is my preference

It looks very natural

This blush is really shimmery, i love it! When applied it gives my cheeks a nice glow. The packaging is very elegant and light, perfect to pop into your purse. This is my first Paul & Joe product and i'm impressed, i really like it! Definitely has become one of my top blushes as it's not too dark, it gives me a natural pinky colour and makes my cheeks stand out more because of the shimmers.

(+) Very pretty packaging, light to carry, a handy mirror, simple and elegant.
(+) Very shimmery and glittery which gives my cheeks a glow
(+) The colour is not too dark, i prefer light blushes as it gives you more a natural glow.
(-) It's a little over glittery, the glitter got on my boyfriends cheek when we hugged, he wasn't impressed, but i thought it suited him =)
(-) I don't really find the two blushes being divided helpful... My brushes can't really get to one side without touching the other side, so why not just blend the two? If anyone knows why it's divided the way it is, please do enlighten me.

Rated 4/5

Hope you enjoyed this short review! 

Lots of love xX

Review on Italian cosmetic Pupa blushes

Whilst waiting for my flight home from Rome, i passed time by browsing through make-up. I came across the brand Pupa which i've never seen nor heard of.

Are these cute or what?!? It contains blusher, eyeshadows, lipglosses and a highlighter. The packaging is too adorable!

Review on: Pupa Milano, Velvety Baked Blush. 12 0z (3.5g)

I bought two velvety baked blushers in 02 and 06. They are really shimmery and pigmented and came with a brush.

The first blush 02

This one is super pretty! It's more on the bronzy-gold side, and it matches my skin tone so you can't really see that much colour on my cheeks, only a nice sheen. 

In both pictures i'm wearing the blush in 02, the blush shows up more in dimmer light. 

The second blush is 06

This comes out as a shimery pink, I don't really apply that much, and it gives a natural pink colour on my cheeks. 

Overall, i'd give the blushes 3.5/5.

(+) They were reasonably prices, about £15 each

(+) Although they are shimmery, I think it looks great in the summer, plus it gives my cheeks a nice glow

(-) However on a bad note, i don't apply that much but I find the blush to look a little cakey and that's a big let down 

Hope you enjoyed this post! 

Lots of love <3
