Becca Cosmetics: Blushed Radiance Kit #BabyBow

Another day, another makeup haul - but in this case, a mini Becca set. If anybody knows me, I am a huge sucker for anything miniature or travel sized and I simply have to have it. This doesn't necessarily mean makeup or beauty either, I like miniature food products, toys and gadgets too. I am going to start a series of mini reviews or features on cute travel sized / miniature beauty products with the aptly name of #BabyBow. 

theBalm Lou Manizers, Overshadows, Bronzer and Eyeliner: Collection & Review

Oh theBalm. When this finally hit the shelves at Superdrug, I naturally got excited and wanted to try everything. I didn't go crazy and buy everything at once but I slowly made little purchases over time. Out of what is currently available on their website and in-store, I would say there is probably 5 more products I want to add to the collection to try out, but for now I am quite happy with what I have. Currently I own: Mary Lou Manizer, Cindy Lou Manizer, Betty Lou Manizer, Bahama Mama, Schwing, and 3 sexpots overshadows. 

Sleek Rose Gold Blusher - NARS 'Orgasm' Dupe? | Review

Sleek Rose Gold blusher is by far my FAVOURITE blusher. Like seriously, my ultimate favourite, my one and only. 98% of my blush collection I would categorise as high-end and I don't look at many drugstore blushers because I always stick to ye old faithful. But this Sleek blusher seriously kicks the bootay out of my MAC and Hourglass blushers. I own one other Sleek blusher (Antique) and 1 Kiko blusher in m collection and the rest are high-end so I really do love the fact that my favourite blusher is only from my local Boots.

YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush | Lips & Cheeks Soft Matte Colour | Mini Review

I made a naughty impulse purchase thanks to watching one of my favourite beauty YouTubers, Holly Annaeree. She recently talked about one of these YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush products (Shade 12) in one of her favourite videos. She paired the shade with MAC Soar lip liner which looked gorgeous so I had the urge to go out and get it. Of course they offer a huge range of gorgeous colours so I couldn't just get one, I naturally got two.

My Top 5 MAC Blushers

My love affair with blushers began when I realised that blush can really bring a youthful flush to your face and really warm your whole look up. I've been experimenting with make-up since I was about 11 (maybe that is too young to some people, but it hasn't/didn't exactly ruin my life), when I used to wear some eyeliner and lipgloss to school. From then, I have played and experimented with different make-up looks since using cheap/drugstore to high-end products. Blusher didn't really become a staple in my make-up collection until about 6/7 years ago, and I thought pink was the only blusher shade you could get. I soon learnt that peaches, coral and browns were common blush colours and soon started making a collection and now have an unnecessary beautiful collection, I'm proud of. Does it sound strange that I'm proud of my collection? Maybe. But I spend a lot of my well-earned money on my make-up collection, so of course it's something I take pride of, and is very important to me. 

Hourglass | Ambient Lighting and Ambient Lighting Blush Palette | Review

So these palette's aren't cheap, I'll get that out of the way first. Both palettes retail for £56 EACH, and I have recently just purchased the Hourglass Lighting palette. The Ambient Lighting Blush palette I received as a Christmas gift from my younger sister, but because they are both so expensive, I normally only use these two products if I'm going out for a special occasion or if I know I will be out all day. These may be cray cray expensive to some but, I had lusted over these two products for a very long time before I decided to get them (well the lighting palette)!
