So my dry January didn't last very long... I promised myself (and Cal) I wouldn't buy anything this month and I went to London on Tuesday with my friends and we had a little lookie in Lush and Newlook and I found some goodies. Like I always do.
My only justification for any of these products is I had to repurchase the Mask of Magnaminity. I had a little melt down earlier this month when I realised my beloved tub was quite a few months out of date... not that you could tell! It broke my heart to through it away but I thought it was probably the best option. This time I picked up the big sized tub since I go through it quite quickly. It is my favourite ever face mask and leaves my skin so healthy and clean. I have included it in a few blog posts already including my Top 3 Face Masks and my Lush Skincare Collection.
The second mask I purchased was the Rosey Cheeks fresh face mask which I have been hunting for for ages now. Quite a few people spoke about this face mask on YouTube and it was always sold out in my local Lush so I had to get it when I was in London. It is to combat redness on the face and I sure have a lot of redness on my round face. I've used it once already and it left my skin really soft and even.
My last Lush product is the Eau Roma Water Toner Water which I am really interested to try. I used the Tea Tree Toner a few years back and didn't think it was anything special but the woman in store said that this toner is great at putting moisture back into your skin and I sure need that right now.
The first Newlook product I purchased was the Mattifying Primer in their beauty range which had been recommended to me by at least 5 people. When 5 people you know like a certain product it usually means there is something to it. I haven't tried it yet but if it is as good as everyone says it is, you might see it very soon in a favourites post.
Lastly my final product is the Newlook Pure Contour Palette in 29|Brown Pattern which I am really excited to use. All the contour shades are matte which was one of the reasons why I wanted to try this out so badly. The packaging is your basic palette with a huge mirror so that is a plus side. As for the contour product I am yet to use any of it but I am planning on writing a post detailing whether this is worth the £6.99 or not. Keep your eyes peeled!
I recently purchased some blushes from the E.L.F website and to be honest I didn't know what to expect. I had never purchased anything from E.L.F before so I didn't know how good the makeup was. You'll see at the end of this how pleasantly surprised I was at how good the makeup actually is. and how CHEAP!
I picked up three different blushes in three different types to try out and I'm going to talk about my favourite two. First off I picked up their All Over Stick in Pink Lemonade which I just love. The stick is described to be for your eyes, lips and face but I just use it on my cheeks at the minute. The colour is so lovely and looks so natural on my skin so I can just pop it on without any hesitation.
I choose to rub the top of the stick on my face in a line and then use my fingers and flat brush to blend out the product. The product blends very easily and lasts all day on my face. It gets a thumbs up from me!
Secondly, and more excitedly, I picked up the HD blush in Superstar. This is my first HD blush and I have been converted. I thought it would be really messy and transfer all around my face but it is really easy to use and apply really well. I squeeze a little amount of product on the back of my hand and use my flat blush brush to then put the blusher on my cheeks. It comes out really well on your face and blends really easy into the skin, you don't end up with big pink circles on your cheeks.
It looks really tacky in the photo but I put a lot on my hand so you could really see the colour of the HD blush, as you can see you only need a little bit to notice it!
The best thing both of these products is that they both last all day on my face, which I have found I cant say about other brands.
The blush stick was only £1.95 which is an absolute bargain! I couldn't quite believe the price when I saw it! The HD blush is only £4.50 which is again a bargain especially since it preforms so well and lasts so long!
I would recommend these blushes to anyone who gets bored of powder blushes or wants to try out different types of cheek products. They are worth the little bit of money you spend on them ;)
