Beauty Bargains of the Week...x

Hey girls,
I've been buying alot of makeup lately and am busy out trying them out properly before I review them.
Here's a quick post on 2 of these goodies that were absolute bargains and stand out products.
Catrice  - Pure Shine Colour Lip Balm and No. 7 Honey Blush.

I paid €4.89 for the Catrice Balm. With this  I love to colour in my lip with a neutral lip pencil and then apply this over it. The shade i got is 040 My Cherry Berry and its a handy go too product that you can apply without worrying you end up with lipstick all over your face. Its like a mix of lip gloss and lip balm. Also this didn't dry out my lips, its really moisturising. To me this is a dupe for the Clinique Chubby sticks but a quarter of the price. I haven't seen Catrice in Ennis but as soon as I get to Limerick I will be buying a couple more of these. Lovvvvveeeeee

            *********************************

Next up is the No.7 blush. This was €11.00 but I used a €6.50 off voucher from boots so it only cost me €4.50.
This is just the perfect daytime blush. Its is a warm brown/peachy colour that has a silky smooth finish and leaves a healthy glow to the skin. Perfect for all those Irish pale chicks out. Will suit anyone up to NC37 in MAC. Would probably be too light for anyone with a darker skin tone. I think this would be brilliant for someone starting out using blusher. You can't go wrong with it. It is also very buildable for all ye blush whores like myself..lol
Talk soon..xxx

Warm up your skin!!!

As my skin is alot paler in the winter I always tend to change my blusher. Two favourites of mine that I'm loving at the minute is Benefit Coralista and Mac Peachykeen.
Benefit Coralista leaves a gorgeous finish on your cheeks. The powder is silky, has a very slight frost to it, and applies like an absolute dream. It can be built up for a soft flush of colour or stroked full on for a fantastic colour pay off!

MAC Peachykeen...I am completely in love with this blush!! Its a fab colour,perfect for Irish skin: it's a peachy bright pink with accents of gold!! Being a MAC product, it is not cheap, but it's worth every penny! It goes on smoothly, is not too translucent, and lasts a very long time!!

Quick Tip - Blusher

Blusher is the hot finishing touch for dull winter skin - so many people don't use it and are afraid of it....
Apply it high on the apples of your cheeks, blending in a circular motion back into the hairline.

 : If you find you blush really easily, and the idea of blush scares you, swap pink blush(which can make you look too blushed), for soft peach(for fair skin), or terracotta(for tanned or darker skin).
Slan.....
