Casey Holmes is hands down my favourite beauty vlogger and YouTuber, she was the very first one I started watching when I delved into the world of all things beauty. To this day she is still my favourite and I have learnt pretty much all my makeup tips and tricks from watching her videos. If you haven't heard of Casey Holmes then you are surely living under a rock and I suggest that you head over to YouTube and check her out. So it is no doubt that when she announced that she was working on a collab with Smashbox I was super excited to get my hands on it, no matter what it was. Finally, her collab has gone live and she has released 2 highlighting palettes that are perfect for any skin tone. These palettes come in two shades, Pearl and Gold. I decided to pick up the Pearl one as you know your girl here is pale as hell so that was the best one for me.
So what do we have here? Yep, another foundation to add to my ever growing collection. I have recently become a foundation fanatic, some people could say it has become a little bit of a problem - every time I step into Boots or Superdrug I have to have a look at the foundations, it doesn't matter what brand it is by, if it looks and sounds like it will work for me then I have to grab it, well as long as I haven't tried it before that is. I am always on the look out for perfect every day foundations as I sometimes get stuck in a rut and end up using the same foundation over and over again and I then get bored of it haha! I was browsing the E.L.F site the other week and I had heard some good reviews on this foundation so I thought I would pick one up and give it a chance. Oh and by the way, trying to pick your shade online is not the best idea and ended up being pretty hard for me, however, luckily I didn't do too bad! So, lets get straight into the review.
Hello lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I wanted to share with you a favourite blush of mine which happens to be ridiculously cheap and one of my favourite bargain beauty finds. This is of course the brand Natural Collection, now you might be a little unexperienced with Natural Collection so let me just go ahead and tell you that they are a bargain brand that you can only purchase at your local Boots store. The brand has been round since I was little and I remember my nana getting me some of this makeup when I was younger so I would stop stealing hers and I absolutely loved it. It is now still one of my favourite brands for things like lipsticks, bronzers and blushes. All of their products are at least under £5 so you are guarenteed to find a products that it is of fantastic value. So, lets jump right into this review of the Blushed Cheeks Blush.
For those of you that might love the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks or just a multifunctional product, then this post is for you! This little gem is from the drugstore that I recently discovered. It is the Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick in Gold Bronze.
L'Oreal claims that this primer instantly transforms skin texture that results in a matte finish and velvet-soft touch. It is supposed to mattify the skin, prepare and smooth the skin by minimising imperfections, pores and shine and instantly transform the skins texture for an even surface with velvet-soft touch. They also claim that foundations will glide seamlessly across it. So, lets see if all of these claims are true and get straight into the review.
If you are into makeup at all then you have probably heard of the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. Everyone and their mother loves this, and so they should, this is an amazing concealer and it is so affordable too! I have given this concealer a good try, I have been using it for such a long time but I didn't think about reviewing it untill recently. I was looking at reviews for this concealer and didn't see as many online so I thought that I would review mine. Just for reference, I have sensitive skin that isn't particularly too dry or too oily but my under eye tends to be a little on the dry side. I am also really pale, which I think is well know by now haha! So, if you want to know my thoughts on this raved about and very popular concealer then just keep on reading.
I was really pleased to be nominated for this award by Gemma from BeautyBlitzBlog.com (@beautyblitzblog) and it is also the first award I have been nominated for so thank you! I've only been blogging for around 10 months now and it is crazy to think that there are actually people out there who read my blog and enjoy it, so a big thank you to you all!
