Fashionista Custom Blusher Palette

Custom Blusher Palette
£5.00 for Palette
£4.00 (or 4 for £10.00) for blusher pans
Fashionista at Superdrug 
Colours in palette: (clockwise from top left) Amber Glow, Milan, New York, London

I'd been contemplating getting a Fashionista blusher palette for a while now but for some reason never got round to it...but I bit the bullet and am so glad I did!
Such a bargain for £15.00 you get a compact palette and four different blushers of your choice.
What I love the most about this idea is you can take something only marginally larger than a bulky blusher with you on holiday and you've got four completely different blushers with you to enable you to achieve any look you fancy..brilliant!
It's the same idea as the MAC blusher palettes but immensely cheaper.
The choice of blushers for the palette is fairly extensive with thirteen different colours to choose from with a variety of finishes and also bronzers 
I chose three of the merged, baked blushers in Milan, New York and Milan
And also a mono blusher (which I assume just means a normal blusher) in Amber Glow
All the colours are really pigmented as you can see in the swatches
Out of the four colours I chose I don't think there are any duds, which is pretty good going considering I ordered them blind online!
My favourite has to be Milan, the only non coral toned blusher out of the bunch
It's a gorgeous, warm pink with shimmer running through it
The shimmer doesn't translate too obviously to the cheek which is fab as too much can look like a glitter overload which isn't good when your 22 and work in an office, not 7 at a school disco
The other three colours are all stunning as well and are all different, even if they are all from the same coral coloured family
I will definitely get so much use from this little palette 
it's so easy to just have everything in one place

Very tempting to get another and fill it with another four beauties

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Stereo Rose

Mineralize Skin Finish

Stereo Rose

£21.50 

MAC

I remember when I first started reading beauty blogs a few years ago Stereo Rose popped up numerous times and I loved the look of it

Aesthetically it was gorgeous, the gold veining in the actual powder was gorgeous but it also swatched stunningly 

I tried searching for it online via ebay and all sorts but it was either fake or ridiculously over priced, I resigned myself to never owning the little pretty

And then I heard that MAC were re-releasing it, I knew I wasn't going to miss out again and ordered straight away

I haven't found myself drawn to MAC's collections in a long time, not since Wonderwoman I think, but this purchase has definitely reignited my love for MAC and I have a wish list as long as my arm once again

I'm saving the money though for when in the states and it's a little cheaper!

As you can see from the swatch it's a gorgeous, warm, coral colour and a shade that would be universally flattering

Quite possibly why it is so hyped in the beauty world

The shimmer in it does make it a great highlighter too

I know some people would be turned off by the shimmer but I love the glowy look it gives my cheeks

As Stereo Rose is so covetable there are numerous dupes about but I'm over the moon to finally have this in my collection and have been wearing it everyday since I got it 

The other Limited Edition MAC product I've been wanting for years, I think it stemmed from the same blog post as my lust for Stereo Rose, is the duo blusher Ripe Peach

I wonder if that's due a re-release

Korres Pomegranate Lip Balm

Pomegranate Lip Butter

Korres

After purchasing the Jasmine shade in the Korres Lip Butter a little while ago I caved and bought the coral coloured Pomegranate version. I love the fact that this shade has a little bit more colour impact than the Jasmine one which was very nude. 

The two lip butters I've tried have been moisturising and long lasting whilst also smelling fantastic. 

The antioxidants found in pomegranate makes it good at combating signs of ageing.

Something I've not really thought about before but now that I'm the grand old age of 22 it's something I may start exploring a bit more. And where best a place to start than my daily lip balm. 

Are there any Korres products you would recommend I try?

Love

Ted Baker 'The Name on Everyones Lips'

Ted Baker 'The Name on Everyones Lips'

Lip Crayon Set

£15.00

Boots

As these were a Christmas Gift Set they are now in the sale so if you can get your hands on them go for it as they're great value for money 

Even full price they work out at only £3.75 each which is pretty good considering the price of similar products by Clinique and Revlon.

They come packaged in a lovely purple tin with a cute little ribbon round it

They come in the same packaging as the Revlon Lip Balm Stains with the twist up mechanism so you don't need to worry about sharpening

To be honest I wasn't expecting miracles from these as they didn't come from an actual make up brand but Ted Baker have got it so right

They are glossy, pigmented, and moisturising

I was expecting the crayons to be of a waxy consistency more like a crayola crayon than a lip product but I was pleasantly surprised (which is good considering I received two of these as gifts!)

The four colours included are gorgeous and all wearable

Unfortunately they don't have names, I love it when a product has cute names but it doesn't really matter

The first colour in the swatches above is a gorgeous bright coral and is a stunning shade for summer, I can't wait for the summer months to whip this out in all it's glory

The second on is a more subtle pinky mauve which is the perfect everyday my lips but better shade for myself

The third is a little darker and has been lovely to wear in this post Christmas slump time, being back at work and general blehness

And the last colour looks to be quite a subtle red, good as I find a red lip intimidating!

Did you get any unexpectedly good make up goodies for Christmas?

Look Make Me Blush in 'Flirt'

Look Blusher

Flirt

£8.00

I've wanted to pick up a product from the Look make up range for a while now after seeing it popping up on a few beauty blogs

My local Superdrug has recently had a makeover and now stocks the range, whoop

I behaved myself and only bought the one blusher but was eying up a few lipsticks

The whole range wasn't out yet though so I couldn't have a proper swatching session

I chose the colour Flirt which is a stunning corally pink

It looks quite bright and intimidating in the pan but is gorgeous on

The shade is buildable so your able to sheer it out for a more subtle wash of colour or layer it up for a punch of coral

As you can see in the swatch above there is a slight shimmer/glitter in this shade

It's a shimmer finish rather than matte

The glitter does translate onto the skin but it isn't in your face

Just a subtle shimmer

Over the course of the day this glitter disappears but the colour stays strong

Have you tried anything from the Look range?

Love

Belle
