Sensuous Sundays

I don't know why I hadn't thought of writing this before as this is one of my all time favourite make-up items *gasp*.

Introducing Estee Lauder's Pure Colour Blush in Sensuous Rose... Ta Dah!!




So it looks a little orangey in this photo but it's actually more of a burnt/brick colour, and on the skin - it's absolutely devine.

I'm quite pale and I was always put off by this colour but trust me when I say that this stuff is transforming! It comes out quite bronzing on the skin, so you could use it as a bronzer - however as a blush/bronze its absolutely b-e-a-utiful! The satin finish of the powder leaves it looking non-cakey but almost airbrushed on the skin (what a delight), and you need the tiniest, and I mean the tiniest bit ever as the colour pay off is amazing. 

I've recently been multi-tasking with this little wonder and been using in on my eyes in the crease and blending it out with a blending brush for that ever so slightly more golden goddess defined look!

Give it a try and I promise you will not be disappointed!

Smokey Joes!

I'd been a little hesitant about writing this post as I thought it would be a little boring.. but then I thought  'hey?! this isn't boring - this is BRILLIANT!!'.

I'm not the kind of girl to change up my mascara - eyelashes are my thang people. I'm all about the big long, thick, fluttery eyelashes. It's a thing which I have down to an art - all through the same mascara I've been using since I was 16 (it MUST be good).

I was forced (not really) to try a new mascara which I got for my birthday which is Bobbi Brown's Smokey Eye Mascara. It promises thicker, fuller and bolder lashes - and the promise is kept. I would say the mascara is almost like a fibre mascara - it leaves the eyelashes looking dry - but not too dry, more like feathery. 




When applying, the medium sized wand somehow does all of this work while separating your lashes (miracle) - and this it's why its brilliant - not boring.

I would highly recommend this mascara if you're looking to try something different. It retails at £22.50, but is totally worth it and I have a feeling will last a really long time as a little bit goes a long way!

Until next time lashes lovers,
