The Perfect Rosy Eyeshadow;

Hello Lovelies;

With all this talk about the new Naked 3 palette, this is the perfect time to do a do this post. The Naked 3 palette is more of a rosy toned palette. I've decided not to buy it, as rosy toned eye shadows don't best suit me - Enter the NARS Single Eye shadow in Nepal. 

This is a gorgeous rosy toned, natural everyday eye shadow. It's a shimmering pink - more like a rose gold colour and It looks so natural, and it great for natural eye shadow lovers. It looks a lot darker in the pan - but on the lids it gives a lovely lighter wash of rose on your eye lids. This is part of their shimmer eye shadow range. If you want to get a rosy toned eye shadow, but can't get the naked 3 palette for one reason or another, this may be the perfect thing. These come in at a whopping £18 each. You don't get as much value as you'd get with the palette, but I'd prefer to pay £18 and know I'd use it a lot, rather than only use one or two of the shadows in the palette. 

You can apply this more sheerly, by applying it dry, or dampen the brush to get a more intense colour. I've been using this daily for awhile now, and I adore it. I normally pick between eye shadow, or more intense lips. Having big eyes, I can't do both unless it's a matte, natural eye shadow. 

The NARS eye shadows are so dinky, there won't be any problem in fitting it in any make up bag. You get 2.2g per single eye shadow - which is more than you'd get with a single colour in a palette. You get it in the normal NARS packaging with a small mirror inside which is big enough to apply this eye shadow, but for doing other make up you'd need something bigger. 

Even though I don't need any more eye shadows, I really want to invest in some more. I think NARS eye shadows are on par with Urban Decay. I like the look of Biarritz - it's part of their matte eye shadows, and is just a natural flesh toned beige.

Hello Lovelies

This year I've become a big fan of Crean/liquid blushers. I have a few in my collection, but I do have my favourites 5 to be precise. They're all natural pinky/peachy tones which are my favourite coloured blushes to wear.

Firstly we have the high end products - Becca Beach Tint is becoming a make up bag montly pick for me. I love the colours Grapefruit and Lychee. They're both beautiful and natural. Grapefruit is more of a dusky pink, and Lychee - a brighter pink which gives a lovely natural flush. They're both waterproof and so long lasting. NARS Penny Lane is another natural pinky blush which isn't as long lasting as the beach tint, but it's so beauitful and natural. This is more easier to apply than the beach tint. This is more of a solid cream blush, where the beach tints are more liquid. Stilla's Convertible Blush is another lovely high end blush. This is the most affordable of the three at £16. I have the shade Lillium which is another bright colour just like Lychee. They have such a great shade range and you can also buy these in a palette of three for £21 which is the same price as one NARS blusher.

There are a few great high street cream blushers on the market. The Revlon Photoready Cream blushers are beauitful and have a mousse like texture. You can get them in three shades, and I have the top picked one in Pinched - You can also get Coral Reef and Flushed. They're sheer, and perfect for those who are just getting into wearing cream blushers as Pinched isn't over the top and a natural colour. Bourjois brought out a cream blush in the last year, and they've had some mixed reviews. I don't wear this as often as other cream blushers, but I still love it. It doesn't cling when you apply it, and it's a lovely peachy colour (02). They have around 5-6 shades, and they're all natural colours. Again, they're more sheer but you can always build up the colour. I've heard great things about the Max Factor creamy blush but I haven't tried it yet, and I really want to. Damn spending ban.

I can see my cream blush collection glowing a lot with all the lovely blushes on the market. I really want to try the MAC Cremesheen Blushes. What's your favourite cream blusher?
