Makeup Revolution The One Fluid Blusher


I can say that I have never ever tried a liquid blusher before. To be fair, the blush sticks were pretty new to me but now I'm completely addicted to them, so I hope these turn into the same situation.
These are relatively new from Makeup Revolution, they come in 5 different colours, Desire which is a hot pink with a shimmer through it, Malibu Ocean which is a golden brown colour, Pink sea is a coral colour but on the pink side, Pink Drew is a baby pink colour which is my favourite colour and Rush Me which is a coral colour but more on the orange side. The two I have are Desire and Malibu Ocean which I think would work perfectly for the deeper skin tones as they are such intense colours.
Its a strange product as you are instantly scared of what its going to turn out like but you just need the tiniest drop on your fingers then blend it out on the apples of your cheeks. It blends out to the softest texture on your skin and that has to be the thing I love the most about it as you think that it would turn sticky but its not instant dry so you have enough time to blend and it gives you a soft matte finish but with a shimmer running through to give you a glow. This formula is completely water proof so theres no need to worry about it sliding around your face throughout the day and they have designed a the formula to be non-pore clogging which is music to my ears as I have an issue with products getting into my pores and causing havoc. 
Of course I have to mention the purse friendly price of these treats! They come in at just a mer £3 for enough product to last you for 5 years! You know that the price was going to be on point, why would you expect anything else from Makeup Revolution?!

Review | Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Copper Diamond





My first EVER Bobbi Brown Cosmetics purchase and it was this limited edition beauty. This is the Bobbi Brown, Limited Edition Scotch Rocks Collection shimmer brick in copper diamond and this is my new favourite highlighter.. everything from the packaging to the actual product is stunning. I want to insert the little heart eyes emoji because it makes me feel like that just by looking at it. I bought this a couple of weeks ago because I was getting completely jealous of all this Christmas make up goodness going around and I needed some of it. I think we both need to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this packaging. Like I said earlier, the packaging is stunning.. with its gold edging and burgundy swirl pattern over the front, it's a staple piece in anyones collection. Even if you're a looser like me and you like to keep things in their orignal boxes then you'll be excited because they box is just a pretty as the actual item! It has a gold embossed Bobbi Brown shield printed on it with two red stripes on so it really does give you that Scottish vibe. I love me some Scotland to be fair, the scenery is just some thing else!
On to other notes, let's talk about the shimmery goodness it's self. It's the same lay out as all the other shimmer bricks, with 5 strips of the same tone colour but just in a range of shades. From the swatches, you can see that they're all very warm toned shades and once they're all swatched together they make a beautiful bronzed colour which would be perfect for tanned skin. I normally keep to the top three shades so its not so over powering whilst it's winter and i'm a little on the pale side.
I love highlighters, always have done and always will do because I just think they make your makeup look so finished and looks like you've taken the time to make an effort. I wear it every day so i'm excited to add this into the collection. Unfortunately, I'm a little late off the mark and I'm not sure where else you can purchase this from but there are so many other shimmer bricks available that are really worth purchasing. 

I'm actually thinking of getting a new storage system for my make up so I would love to see some tips or how you would store some of your items!
