Makeup | Max Factor Creme Puff Blush

I've wanted to try these blushers for so long and I was shopping the crappy little makeup market stall in my town when I spotted this particular one for £3. Nabbed it right in the bag!


Maybelline Creme Puff Blush in 10 Nude Mauve

Poor pic qual, apologies. Couldn't steady my hand when it was in macro...

So this isn't the most pigmented blush in my collection, but actually it's enough to create a lovely everyday flush. As you can see in the pictures, it's a browny-pink blush which is a baked formula (which I think comprimises on the pigmentation).
Surprisingly, it comes out a lot more rosier than I expected; I was expecting a brown shade that I could use more as a bronzer.

I do enjoy using this blush for everyday because I like to build it up a little just so you can see a little something something on my cheeks. The reason I wanted it so much is because they remind me of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes, and I haven't tried these either, but oh so desparately want to!!!


How do you get along with these blushers? Do you like baked formula blushes? This is the first time I've used one and I thiiiink I like it. I think I'm a little disappointed in the pay-off, but it is buildable so I think I need to get used to this



See you tomorrow for a YouTube video!

Makeup | Everday Powder Blushes

Powder or cream blushers?

I have to admit, I can't decide; I love my Illamasqua cream blushers to death, but I'm partial to the dusty romantic look a light pinky rose powder blush can give....  
These three are the powder blushers that I go to for my everyday. All a different type of pink; one simple bright pinky rose, one with shimmer and one more peachy.
 

NARS Powder Blush - Deep Throat

Bobbi Brown Powder Blush - Pink Coral

Sephora Powder Blush - Orange Pop

NARS Powder Blush - Deep Throat
Dodgy name, but this is my holy holy holy grail powder blush. A blue-toned pink with golden shimmer = perfection in a pan for my skin colour. It makes my skin GLOW and look healthy. It's the perfect finishing touch to my makeup.


Bobbi Brown Powder Blush -Pink Coral
Another holy holy holy grail. It's the perfect blue-toned, (see the pattern?) everyday, rosy pink. I probably use this more in the Winter as it gives that dusty and romantic look because it doesn't have any shimmer. But don't get me wrong, I will use this when my skin is looking FLAAAOOOWWLESS and I wanna inject some colour in to my skin - note, I don't contour everyday, so I use blusher as a way to make myself look alive.


Sephora Powder Blush - Orange Pop
This is my summer blush. Peach, verging on a little red-ish in tone. It lasts on my skin ALL DAY - no primer or setting sprays used. It has a way with my powder brush to not pick up too much so that it doesn't cause that disastrous makeup mishap of making you look like a clown. It's just so pigmented and has the staying powder equivalent to a Sharpie pen. (Don't fret, it does comes off with your makeup when you wash your face in the evening).


What are you everyday holy grail blushers? Any other brands that I should try out?



I will have a video up tomorrow about skincare! Hooray!
