On Blush

Happy Hump Day everyone! You may remember that I mentioned having given into temptation in a Sunday post and buying these two beauties. For some background: it was the week of my last exam. I'd been working all day in a Starbucks adjoined to a Sainsburys (Cookie Dough frappe if anyone was wondering). I was waiting for Boyf to finish cycling so that I could go home and really sort of reached the end of my tether. 

I needed something to power through! 

So I sneakily ordered these as soon as I got home... As I always say, there is a fine line between need and want. In my defense, FeelUnique had good deals going on.

I have had my eye on the Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blushes for a long time and am yet to have seen a bad review about one of them. I kept seeing them crop up in people's favourites posts and realised that the time was right! When I went to order a lot of the shades were actually out of stock which made choosing a lot easier as all of the shades are beautiful! 

I eventually went with Gentle which really compliments my skin tone. It is actually not that disimilar in shade to Nars' Orgasm, but with a slightly more coral undetone. It also has a slight shimmer to it, which once blended onto the skin just helps to give you a really natural glow. This colour is perfect for just dabbing a little onto your cheeks to make you look really fresh and healthy. I am yet to deepen the colour... maybe with a tan!?

I then had to (yes had to...) get the oversize Nars Orgasm blush, which I have already mentioned so many times. And it is Limited Edition. And my standard version does have a fair dent in it. 

...

This one is maybe about twice the size of the standard version, and on the bottom of the mirror says #whatmakesyoublush. The packaging is also different and it comes with a plastic cover with the same photo on which I thought was a really nice touch. The mirror is a really decent size, and for any beauty lovers I just think this is a really nice but not completely extravagant purchase!

What have you bought that you probably shouldn't have?!

Kiko | Moon Dust Face Powder - Cosmic Starlets

I think that this is one of the most beautiful face powders I have ever seen. Kiko recently opened in my home town (!!) and when I first saw this I instantly fell in love with it.

It is one of Kiko's Illuminating face powders from their Cosmis Starlet range. The packaging of all of these products is also gorgeous; even the boxes feel lovely! The powder is set in a gorgeous octagonal red box and has a decent sized mirror inside. The powder is then surrounded by silver which just offsets the powder itself beautifully.

And then the feel of it. Oh my. It is so smooth and soft; it just glides onto the skin and sits perfectly. It feels so lovely just to touch, let alone wear! It then has a beautiful colour; this is in Mysterious Pink. It is kind of like part Nars Orgasm and and peach and MAc Vanilla Pigment but just looks beautiful on the skin. It's a baked powder so has that extremely soft and pigmented touch, so a little goes a long way! It's available in two shades, but this one is definitely my favourite. 

Even better, it's currently 30% off so is under £10! The whole collection is also limited so grab it whilst you can! You can get it here. 

All of this range looks beautiful, but I definitly think that this is a must have from the collection; if only just to look at!

What are your thoughts?
