Maybelline Master Glaze Blush Stick in "Pink Fever"

In my haste to build my makeup collection, I now often miss out on new products because I just have too much. This is especially the case for blushes. I rarely buy them anymore, in fact the last time was during the Black Friday sales back in November!

 Thanks to fellow beauty blogger and friend, Kat, I was lucky enough to win one of her amazing giveaways. Included was the Maybelline Master Glaze Blush Stick. A blush that I was certainly interested in trying, but resisted temptation to buy one.

 Taken from the Maybelline website- "Liquid shimmer pearls create a dewy and glistening glaze on the cheeks. Shea butter glides onto the skin for a smooth, even application."
Round twist-up tube packaging.
"Pink Fever" is a pretty candy pink shade.

 I'm always cautious when applying a cream blush, especially one as vibrant as "Pink Fever". I found that dabbing a powder brush into the cream, then applying to my cheeks gave me better control of the product. Plus the blush blends very nicely, so no clown cheeks, unless that's a look you are going for.



As you can see, I was able to create just a flush of colour. My preferred blush finish.

 Are you a wearer of cream blush?

    Golly you're so clever Indie - I would never have thought to use a brush to apply a cream blush! Love how you've made it work for you, and so beautifully too ♥

      I'm just so heavy handed with my fingers that I look ridiculous. I find using a brush makes me less likely to overdo it. Thanks again for your generous giveaways xx

    That's a great shade on you! As much as I like the design, though, I think I'm really a powder blush kinda person.

      I know what you mean, Leah. I love the idea of cream blushes, but I rarely reach for them myself, I find powders easier to use.

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
