Spring Blushes

Last season, I did a post on my Winter Blushes, so it's only fair that I do a post for Spring. I only just realised that some one of the blushes in that post is in this post as well - oops! There are also some cream blushes in this post as they are perfect for Spring!

Benefit Fine One One Blush Trio // full review Here
I absolutely love this blush. It is amazing and such a unique product! It is in a stick form and has three shades, an orange, coral pink and a shimmer highlight. As it is Benefit, it is slightly more expensive than the other products, but I think this is one of those products where you really do get what you are paying for because the products is so impressive! You simply swipe this across your cheeks and blend, it blends easily and gives your cheeks a natural flush of colour. Talking about 'flush' that leads on to the next product!

Topshop Cream Blush in 'Flush' // full review Here
I think this has to be my favourite out of all of the blushes in this post, purely because this blush is such a stunning shade and the formula is incredible. You can read the post I have done on it before for more detail, but it is a cream to powder finish so it lasts quite a long time. It blends and applies like a dream and I can't even explain how beautiful the colour is. If you haven't tried any of the Topshop Cream Blushes then what are you waiting for?!

Sleek Blush in 'Pixie Pink'
Unlike the other blushes in this post, this Sleek blush is a powder blush. It may look very vibrant and bold, but it does come out very natural once on the cheeks. It's such a pretty pink which is perfect for Spring because to me, Spring is all about pink. When people ask me what drugstore blushes I would recommend, I always say Sleek because they have a range of shades which are all stunning.

Top Pink Products for Spring

 
 
 
 
 
One of my favourite colours to wear in Spring is Pink. It just seems like such a spring appropriate colour, corals and brighter neon colours are more summer. But neutral and pastels are always in for spring! I have put together my favourite pink products that are perfect for this spring.
 
Blush and Eyes
 
My favourite brand for when it comes to blushes is definitely Sleek. The products are amazing quality and really pigmented. I have the Sleek Blush in Pixie Pink. It's a gorgeous bright pink that is just the right pigmentations, by this I mean it isn't too bright but not too subtle. Just right!
 
The other blush in the photo is from Topshop and its a cream blush in the shade Flush. It's a cream to powder formula so it blends nicely and gives your cheeks a nice pink flush, hence the name :D
 
I have a little eyeshadow that is so pretty, the swatch of it doesn't show how stunning it is in real life! It's from No7 in Antique Rose and is a lovely gold and pink eyeshadow. It is nice and shimmery but also very natural at the same time!
 
Lips
 
If you've been reading my blog for a while, you may know that I do love my pink lispticks. I find them so easy to wear and they can suit anyone with any skin tones! For this post I decided to pick out my most pink lipsticks that would be perfect for spring. Most of my favourite lip products are from Revlon, so I have included the Revlon Matte Balm in Elusive. This is a gorgeous medium toned pink, its so natural and is also really creamy and not at all drying.
 
I also love the Revlon Lip Butters and I chose the shade Strawberry Shortcake. The lip butters from Revlon are so hydrating and feel like lip balms, this shade is a light nude pink and is such a nice spring shade.
 
 I think MAC lipsticks are such amazing quality so I couldn't not include it in this post, its the MAC lipstick in Chatterbox. Again, its a very pretty everyday pink. Finally, to change things up a bit I have included a lip gloss.
 
 It is the Tanya Burr lipgloss in Aurora. I absolutely love this lip gloss, especially the name. Its actually very good quality and I have a whole post dedicated to it here.
 
Brushes
 
I know, I know, I only chose these brushes because of their pink packaging. But it was too pretty to ignore and just fitted nicely with the post! So from top to bottom in the picture (they are all from Real Techniques by the way, I'll just tell you the name of the brush.) Multitasking Brush which I use for powder and sometimes blending in foundation, Setting Brush which I use to blend my under eye concealer and the Stippling Brush which I love to use for foundation.
 
So those are my top pink products for spring. I hope you enjoyed this post and tell me your Top Spring Products in the comments below! Thank you for reading.

Benefit Fine One One for Summer Cheeks ~ Summer in the Sun Series

 
 
 
 
 

Okay so I'm going to try mixing a review into my summer in the sun series, hopefully it will work. So seeing as summer is all about glowing cheeks and bright colours, i thought The Benefit Fine One One cheek trio would be perfect. Firstly I just want to say thanks to my best friend who bought me this for my birthday :)

The packaging of this is gorgeous, I love anything rose gold so that was definitely a bonus. Once you take the lid of you can see what the actual products looks liked there are three shades an orange, a pinky coral and a shimmery highlight. Once you twist the button type thing you just swipe it across you cheeks in an upwards motion (the shimmery highlight on top.) Then you just blend the colours in to create gorgeous coral and shimmery cheeks.

I love the whole concept of it as it's super easy to use and I don't think I've seen anything like it. The formula is great as well as it is creamy and incredibly easy to blend. It blends smoothly and doesn't leave streaky marks. The colours are so fun and summery and look lovely on. If you are willing to spend your money in Benefit, this is something I recommend looking at as it is really unique and pretty. However once the cream has blended, it does kind of blend in and become quite unnoticeable, which then makes me put more on and make the product run out faster. Cheeky Benefit I see what you're doing haha no just kidding. I just don't blend it to its full potential.

Overall I love this product and I think it is perfect for summer, in fact I think it's great all year round. The colours are lovely and so is the packaging. I love how original the idea is and I wish more brands did similar things. I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading! Bye!

Topshop Blush in Flush






 Hey beauties! Today I am going to review my first Topshop makeup product! It is one of their cream blushes and I have the shade Flush. Firstly I would just like to say how cute the packaging of Topshop makeup is. I love the colour Flush as it's a corally pink, I don't actually own this colour so I thought I might get it.

This blush is a cream to powder finish which means it applies like a cream but has a powder finish. I quite like this as it means it looks more natural but applies and blends easily. It is very creamy at first and it's more of a matte blush. The shade Flush is very pretty and perfect for summer! I like how bright it looks in the packaging but when applied (and blended) it turns out very natural and subtle. I usually apply this with the Real Technique Stippling Blush. 

I really like this blush and I think it looks really pretty once applied and blended on the cheeks. I think it's £7 maybe 6 or 8 I'm not entirely sure but I think that is a decent price. The packaging is so cute as well and the formular is very nice. Overall I really recommend to try out the Topshop blushes, especially the shade Flush. I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Thanks for reading, bye!
