BEAUTY: Max Factor Creme Puff Blush

Blusher was never my strong point. I was always incredibly scared that I was going to be one of these people who would always apply way too much and look like a clown - sometimes I'm just a little too heavy handed and instead of being gentle when it comes to makeup. However, I've been obsessed with using the Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in 'Lovely Pink' recently.

I picked it up ages ago from Boots when they were first released as I thought it looked so pretty. It looks a little like marble and that's what drew me in. 'Lovely Pink' is a natural pink shade with a hint of peach/gold shimmer running through it. I think this is so pretty on the skin. It's quite subtle which I like but you can also build it up a little. It looks incredibly natural and I find that the blusher really helps to brighten up my face too due to the shimmer in it. It lasts all day too, I don't find that it wears off easily or slips around my face like cream blushers sometimes can.

I've been using this all the time recently and if it's not been this I've been using my Benefit blush. 'Lovely Pink' I feel will look great on any skin tone, It's a blush that I think is essential in any girls makeup bag. Whether you want to go for a heavy makeup look or just a subtle 'no makeup, makeup' look I think this blush is perfect for all occasions. I'm intrigued in the rest of the collection too.

Have you tried any of the blushers from the new Max Factor range? What were your thoughts?

BEAUTY: B. Cheeky Blushers

I've mentioned the brand B. before which is exclusive to Superdrug, talking about their Light Hydrating Foundation (click here). Today, I wanted to shine a light on two blushers which I have been absolutely loving this summer. I bought my first B. Cheeky Blusher around November time, and I can remember telling my friend, Charlie, to pick one up. I originally bought 'Candy Cane' which is a sweet pink colour. It's perfect for a more natural look or if you've gone for heavy eye makeup or a bold lip and want something to tone the look down more. I really liked this during the winter as it gave me that touch of colour and looked more natural.

'Candy Cane'

However, as soon as the weather began to pick up I decided to have a little a look at their other colours and picked up 'Sherbet' this is my favourite blusher I've owned. It's perfect for spring and summer. I'm not massively into bronzers as they always look a little too orange on me, so I went for this peach shade in the hope it would make me look a little more tanned. I love the colour and thinks it adds just the right amount of tint, it made me look a little more bronzed and glowing (just a note, I am incredibly pale naturally). It also looks very natural  and is very buildable.

'Sherbet'

The B. Cheeky Blushers are powder blushers, but I find that they stay on all day and they look really natural too. They're not chalky at all. I use a little Kabuki Brush that I picked up from Superdrug to apply it and find that it works really well. They have a range of different shades and I am tempted to pick up another but these two are definitely worth looking into. 'Candy Cane' is more of an everyday kind of shade and 'Sherbet' is a very summery shade.Like I've previously said, I've been using the 'Sherbet' since March and you can see that it's not even close to being finished, so they also last for a long time too. They usually cost, £5.99 but at the moment they are on offer at £2.99 on Superdrug's website, so get them whilst they're cheap.
