10 Drugstore Blushers...13 actually oops


Sorry this is the first post in a while but my flat has no internet at the moment. Anyway back to this post, I thought I would be a kind of haul of drugstore blushers, then maybe a high end version as well. Just an over view of blushers, then I might do more detailed posts on individual ones later on.


These are the shimmery pink blushers, which are the shades I wear the most, as there is a bit more to it than just the colour, i.e. the shimmer. They look great on pale skin, also when you are tanned, I find some shades make me look so much more pale where as these shades don't.

Sephora - Coral Rose
Kiko - Blush Veil 02
Kiko - Velvet Touch Cream Stick 02 (have to say that this is my favourite drugstore blush) These aren't actually from the drugstore but are about the same prices.


These shades have more of an orange tint to them, I don't really wear these that much as they aren't that obvious of a blush, if you are just starting to think about wearing blush this is a great shade to start with.

Soap & Glory - Onamatopeacha 
Bourjois - Cream Blush 02
MUA - Lolly


These shades have more of a brown tint, I love these colours but haven't really worn then often enough.

NYX - Hibiscus
New Cid - Fose (i think, it has been faded, it is a lip and cheek tint)
Kiko - 07



These are the other shades, most of them are pink that don't have a shimmer to it, except for one red one, I haven't tried the red one but not too sure about it.

Topshop - Head Over Heels
Topshop - Morning Dew
Model co - Just Peachy
Bourjois - Pink Twice

Let to know if there is any shades you like the look of and I will do a post on that blush.
Thanks for reading see you soon.

Cheerio

Blush Collection

I only started wearing blusher about eight months ago and has now become one of my main make up essentials when going out.

I have gathered quite a lot of different blushers, most of them are pink tint or more neutral as I'm quite light skinned. 



This blusher is my current everyday one due to the shade being slightly pink but not to obvious for everyday use. Powder based blusher.

This is a Sephora Blusher that I've used just a few times once again there is a slight pink tint in this blusher. It looks natural on which is what I want for most of the time.

Three Topshop Blushers
2x Morning Dew
1x 
These are cream blushes 



This Tarte Powder Blusher in shade Mirage is really nice and quite a neutral colour so doesn't show through to much and feels really nice and light on the skin. 





This Blush is rather a skin toned one darker than my actual skin tone but I thought I'd like to try to see the outcome especially as was only one pound.


This Bareminerals is loose powder that I got in a set as it isn't a colour I would usually pick myself. I still haven't tried this blusher just I need to build myself up to a red toned one. Though I will update once tried.



This blush is a really nice Coral coloured 



This blusher has to be my favourite one due to the sparkle in it. 
Nars Orgasm.
This blusher is more pink than the usual blush I wear but the shimmer to this blusher.

Morning routine and make up

The first thing I do in the morning is to clean my face.

I always use soap & glory, my current one being The Greatest Scrub of All. 
It's an instant radiance face polish. It helps to keep my spots away and instantly makes my face look more alive in the morning. 

It's the best drugstore product that I've found that actually helps with my spots. 

Before I start with my make up I use a headband to keep my hair off my face.


To start I apply a base of my foundation. I'm currently using Wild About Beauty Rose Water Illuminating Serum. 

I got this in Feburarys birchbox. It's normally £24 which is a bit more than I'd want to pay. 

Maybelline Baby Skin is a good drugstore primer that's more affordable. 

I apply the primer using a beautyblender. 

Foundation that I'm currently using is Sephoras 10hr wear perfection foundation. 
This foundation has medium coverage. 
You can see quite a few spots aren't as visible anymore, this being why medium coverage is needed if you have spots you want to cover up. 

Next is the concealer to apply to the last few spots that are visible. I also apply under my eyes to help brighten up my eyes. 

This is where I need concealer. 

You can see how the concealer changes the dark areas. 

Next is blusher. The brush is Sephora Pro Contour 74. 

The blush is Tarte Mirage. 

I really like this shade as it's not too pinky so doesn't necessary look like have blusher on. 

You can see a slight colour to the cheeks. 

Bronzer is next. 

My face is starting to look more defined once bronzer is on. 


Highlighter is next. I've only started using a highlighter but I really like using it. I'm using benefits Highbeam. 

Too Faced Cocoa powder foundation is what I use to set in my make up and smooth out my skin. 


After this all I do is my eyes. I put a base on my eyes first, Benefit Stay Don't Stray. 
Then just my eyeshadow, Topshop Long Weekend the brown shade. 
Final touches are mascara and lipgloss. The mascara is Benefit Roller Lash and lipgloss in Stila Stay All Day shade Nude. 
Please ignore the roots in my hair I'm trying to decide if I wanna get rid of my colour or not.
