Birthday Beauty Haul

Hello!

Okay, so it's been a while and I apologise.. but I've been super busy!! However, in the time I've been gone it happened to be my birthday (which was amazing), and lucky me managed to acquire a fair bit of make-up thanks to my loooooovely friends and family. So, why not do a haul?

All about the Blush

Hey guys!

I'm so so SO happy it's March. It's definitely my favourite month, but not just because of my BIRTHDAY, but also because Spring! I'm so ready for longer and warmer days, and what goes better with that than a perfect blusher? ;) Here's a shortlist of my four favourites...

(clockwise from top round)

1. KIKO Tri-Bal Soul Baked Blush in Deluxe Coral

I love this blusher! It has the perfect blends of dusty pinks with a hint of shimmer, so appropriate for that spring glow. It was limited edition and no longer available, but find a similar one here.

2. Sleek Blush in Coral

I am such a fan of this blusher! I've used Sleek makeup for years,and time and time again I find myself reaching back for this blusher. It is a lot more subtle on the cheeks than the other pink shades I own, and perfect when teamed with a summer tan. And less than £5 too!

3. KIKO Sun Lovers Blush in Brazilian Pink

It happens that two of my favourite blushers are Kiko,, and Limited Edition. BUT fear not, every summer KIKO release a new range and they tend to have very similar pink blush shades like this one. I don't think I can rave on enough about how much I love KIKO makeup, but trust me on this one!

4. Revlon Blush in Haute Pink

I mentioned this blusher recently in my Revlon Haul (read here), and I well and truly love it. It is a lot brighter than the other three blushers, however a pink blush can look beautiful on sunny spring days, teamed with a subtle eye. These blushers are such good quality for the price, so I am definitely going to try more shades.


I hope I've given you some blusher inspiration for the spring months!

Love,

20 Things for My Twenties

Hello,

Sorry it's been two weeks since my last post, but I'm back! My birthday is fast approaching, and in a month exactly today I'm no longer going to be a teenager - how scary. So, I decided that I would write a post on 20 things I aim to do in my twenties. It's a long one, but I hope you enjoy!

High End Beauty Wish List

Hello!

So, it's happened again. I've built up a wish list of High End beauty products. On a student budget, it's hard to be a beauty lover and constantly be faced with beautiful beautiful expensive makeup. These are the products I've got my eye on and probably will cave in and buy...

The Valentine's Post

Hello guys!

Valentine's Day is an occasion which is hugely divided, you either love it or you hate it. I personally love any excuse to celebrate, and I feel it's a wonderful time of year just to show some extra appreciation to your loved ones. So, with this in mind I thought I'd put together a little Valentine's inspired post on what to do and what to buy!

Mini Revlon Haul

Hello!

I've recently been sensible in limiting the amount of makeup I buy, however the other day in Boots I just couldn't resist the 3 for 2 offer! So I decided to pick up a few items from Revlon, a brand I rarely purchase, and let you know what I think so far!
