Top Five | Blushes


Hello Lovelies!

I thought I would start a little series of my top five favourite make up items in each little category there is. So this week I wanted to start with blushes. Previously I was extremely boring and unadventurous with my choices of blush and I'd normally find a blush and stick with it until I ran out of it. It was only really in the past year that I have started to dabble in the world of cream blushes and more brightly coloured blushes. So here are my top five favourites!

Illamasqua Sob 


This was the very first product I've bought from Illamasqua and I was pleasantly surprised that it lived up to the hype as a brand. This is a cream blusher and it is a gorgeous baby pink colour that gives a lovely healthy glow to the cheeks

Sleek Life's a Peach 


This is a recent purchase. Its my summertime colour for when I have a bit of a tan on. I normally pair this with a neutral eye and Topshop's Infared on my lips!

Sleek Rose Gold 


 One of Sleeks more famous products which is hailed to be a dupe for the infamous NARS Orgasm. It is a gorgeous deep pink colour that leaves a lovely sheen on the skin - I normally skip the highlighter with this one!

MAC Mocha 


My first ever blush I bought and as you can see it's really well loved! I normally wear this more in the winter time as it gives a lovely rosy look. It also has no shimmer at all in it so its great for a more natural look. It looks great with and without a tan so I feel it would suit most skin tones.

Becca Beach Tint 


I received this in a GlossyBox a few months back and has become a firm favourite ever since. Another cream blusher so it can be used for a subtle look but you can also build it up to get a more dramatic look for night time. I also love the packaging for this one as you can control the amount you use and  its very hygienic.

Please let me know top five make up items you would like to see next!

  3. Sob looks amazing. I need it! I have NO cream blushes but have always meant to, so maybe I'll make Sob my first one. I love Rose Gold and the Becca Beach tint, they're never far from my face! x

  4. I love rose gold too but I also have orgasm and I swear they're exactly the same! I'm a big fan of blushers, it's probably what I own the most of. Definitely interested in buying Mocha soon too, as I lost my Mac Melba at a festival in July and they look pretty similar. Great Blog by the way, now following you ^_^
