Milani Baked Blush 'Luminoso'

Milani baked blush line seems to be very popular over in the states, especially the shade 'Luminoso'. Sadly Milani isn't sold in the UK so I made a purchase on my fave website beautyjoint.com & had it shipped over.

The Baked Blush line consists of 5 shades & obviously I just had to get my hands on the ever so popular shade 'Luminoso'.

Luminoso is a beautiful coral shade with a slight shimmer that adds a youthful glow to the cheeks. A very easy shade to wear that will go with almost any makeup look. Pigmentation is fab, and the formula is very easy to work with, so blending out on the cheek with other products is a breeze. 

The golden packaging makes it look much higher end than it actually is. Hidden under the blush itself is a little round mirror & a blush brush, which makes it super handy for travelling. Having said that the brush is not great quality, like most mini brushes that are included with blushers it feels very stiff & synthetic so I gave that a miss. But having a mirror built in is always a good thing in my opinion.

I can't help but reach for this shade on a near on everyday basis, it was my go to blush this summer and I would most defo repurchase.

Available in the UK from beautyjoint.com (link here) £5.09 plus shipping.

Bourjois Cream Blusher '01 Nude Velvet'

For the first time in 150 years Bourjois revamped there iconic little round pot powder blush to a cream blush formula. Much like the original little round pot of blush, the new cream blush comes in the same petite round packaging that is the same colour as the blush with & a little round mirror on the inside lid.

The blush itself is a cream to powder finish, that can be applied with either your finger tips or my preferred method of a small stippling brush. The product sits seamlessly on the skin & can be built up for a more intense pop of colour without it looking cakey or feeling heavy on the face.

The cream blush formula includes poppy extracts, mango butter & apricot extracts, all together claiming to leave the skin feeling super soft & enhancing a healthy glow.

'01 Nude Velvet' is a coral peachy shade with a matte finish that looks so natural on, it has to be the most natural looking blush I have in my collection. It's perfect for those no makeup makeup days, when you want a natural wash of colour across the cheek & again it can be easily built up to a more vibrant shade without looking cakey.

Are you a fan of Bourjois famous little round blushers?

Stargazer Product Review

I have five Stargazer products to share with you today. So let's get started with the baked eyeshadow in the shade 'Chill Out' which is a combination of two shades, a mint green a copper shade. I don't tend to like mixed shades in eyeshadow & they tend to blend together to make odd muddy colours & this does just that. Pigmentation isn't brilliant, giving just a greeny sparkle & the staying power isn't great either.

I was very excited to try the metallic eyeshadow pen in the shade Brown as it looked like a perfect coppery shade, which looks lovely on light green eyes like mine. Swatched, this pen looks pigmented & feels very smooth, but when on the lid & blended the strong colour fades & throughout the day the pen crease on my lids. I also used the pen along my bottom lash line & unfortunately as it is such a creamy consistency it smudged quite ba

Next is the Stargazer Matt Lip Stick I'm shade 209. As pretty as this looks in the tube, when applied to the lips it has a very thick & tacky feeling that I don't like. The colour is a little to light for my preference, but I have found use for it. when I'm wanting to mute other stronger lipstick shades I will apply this on the top & when mixed I other lipies the texture is a lot more bearable.

With not such great results from the past three products I didn't hold out much hope for the blusher, simply named Blusher 2. A deep berry shade with a slight sparkle to it, the sparkle doesn't transfer to the face but does leave a beautiful luminous effect. The texture of the blush is surprisingly lovely, & the colour pay off is amazing. I do have to use a light hand when applying as it is so strongly pigmented, but there is absolutely no fall out & it blends beautifully into the skin. I think this is a perfect Winter berry blush shade & I am very impressed with it.

Lastly is the product I was most excited about the Paper False Lashes. The set of lashes I own have a pretty floral & butterfly design. I was expecting the lashes to be quite hard to apply seeing as the band is made of paper to, but with one try the lashes stuck on easily. Surprisingly comfortable to wear too, obviously these aren't they type of lashes you would wear often but for dramatic looks there so pretty & I absolutely loved them.

This eye shadow look is not Stargazer, but just the lashes.

Swatches & look with the product listed.

Revlon Photo Ready Cream Blush | 200 Flushed Rougissant

My natural looking makeup days are very few & far between (I am an all or nothing type of gal) but when I do have them I use this, Revlon Photo ready cream blush in 200 Flushed Rougissant. 
200 Flushed Rougissant

When I picked this up in my local boots I thought wooow nelly that's a bright pink blush! Then I swatched it on my hand & saw that it was infact very light on colour pay off & that obviously I needed it & needed to take it home to add to my collection. 
Poss'in hell | Rare day of wearing natural makeup with 200 Flushes Rougissant blush

I'm not normally a fan of cream blushers but this is brilliant for a natural flushed cheek effect. I team this with a neutral eye & even apply that cream blush on my lips. Of course you could team this blush with a full on makeup look but for me it just doesn't give enough colour pay of for that, but each to there own.

It's very smooth & creamy in texture & can easily be blended onto the cheeks without turning cakey like some cream blushers I have previously tried. I use either my finger to apply or my e.l.f small stipple brush which gives a real seamless blended look.
