Review | Daniel Sandler Watercolour blush in So Pretty

Gems Maquillage is completely and utterly to blame for me buying this blush! I'd been browsing through the Daniel Sandler section on Asos for a while admiring all the different products but never ordered anything until I saw her review. It looked so pretty and her expert recommendation was good enough for me to go ahead and order it! You may have seen it in this post. I was a bit unsure whether to spend £15.50 on a blush, especially as it's a watery consistency that I wasn't sure I'd even get on with, but I'm so glad I did because it is Amazing, yes, Amazing, with a capital A.



It's in a really cute miniature bottle which you can squeeze drops out of on to your hand, which I then use my Real Techniques stippling brush to blend into the apples of my cheeks! It's really watery but blends really well and doesn't smudge any foundation you have underneath. It also has little shimmery bits within it which create a really lovely brightening effect. 
It's oil free and also contains vitamin E and jojoba which is supposed to nourish the skin, which is a great added bonus for a blush!

It's so blend-able and gives a really nice natural look, but it also build-able to suit darker skin tones.

Overall I love this blush and I'm so glad I found it! 

Take a little look here if you're interested...

New kid on the block...

I don't know about you but I love Bourjois! It's such high quality makeup but not too expensive. I have sooo many different blushes, but I always end up going back to my little Bourjois blusher pots because I know it's such good quality and will last all day! So as you can imagine I'm quite excited for these new little jobbies! The same little pot, but a cream to powder in some really pretty and flattering shades to suit all skin tones.

In Boots from the 15th May at £7.99 each!

I can't choose between nude velvet and healthy glow, what do you think? Maybe I'll just buy both! 
Have you tried a cream to powder blush before?
How much do you love Bourjois blush pots?

A very pink themed...beauty wishlist



I want to try and grow my hair out a bit so I've been trying everything I can to not damage it, and I've heard that these inventions are better than a normal hairbrush in that they cause less breakages. So this is top of my shopping list right now, any hair growth tips you may know are also very welcome!

I'm constantly looking for the perfect concealer for under my eyes and I don't think I've ever found THE one, this one looks interesting because it has a moisturising ring...oooh

I've never tried anything by Daniel Sandler so I'm really curious about this fluid blusher, it's oil free and I can imagine it would be really easy to blend. Also the colour is pretty!

I am very unsure as to how good it would be to have your nail polish peel off, but I'm intrigued and I also hate removing nail polish so I really want to give this a go!


Have you tried any of these things?
What did you think?
What are you coveting at the moment?

Thanks for reading!

MAC Mineralize Blush

Hellooooo!

I bought something realllllly pretty that I wanted to share with you! :)

So I have spent pretty much all of my student loan now and I start my summer job tomorrow but I won't get paid until late July! (arghh) So I thought I would spend my last £12.75 in the entire world on something useful, practical and essential...

Mac Mineralize Blush in Warmth of Coral. 

I realise that this may not have been the most sensible choice for my last purchase until July, perhaps food may have been better hmm, but I went to The Cosmetics Company Outlet in Gunwharf Quays and saw this and had to get it.

It consists of baked minerals refined in to a powder formula to provide sheer and lightweight application (MAC website).

And I must say this is true! It's so light and blend-able, and you can build it up for a more bold look for the night time perhaps.

I am very pleased I did buy it because it's sooo lovely and has just the right amount of shimmer. The different baked in colours make it look so pretty and natural on the skin.

It's such a lovely spring colour, it's not on the website so I think this must mean it's part of an old range, which makes sense as I bought it in the outlet. But this means that it cost me a mere £12.75 instead of the new colour range of the same blush retailing at £19.00 in MAC.

BARG.
