Chanel always seems to get to me with their Spring/Summer makeup collections – particularly with the blushes. This year they released blush palettes, which is a first for them as far as I know, and that made me want it even more. There are two variations and I chose the one geared towards lighter skintones, Tendresse.
Review, Swatches | Tarte Precious Gems Amazonian Clay Cheek Palette
Is this the forth post in a row where I’m reviewing blush? Yes it is. And more will be coming. Addictions aside, my review of Tarte’s 2021 holiday blush set has been one of my most viewed posts, which tells me people are still very much interested in this formula. The Precious Gems cheek palette is last holiday’s palette and it is still available and currently on sale, so a review feels very apropos.
Review, Swatches | KIKO Blossoming Beauty Romantic Shades of Face & Eyes Palette
KIKO sure knows how to come out with a pretty collection. The Blossoming Beauty collection has some gorgeous pan designs and I had to have something from this limited edition line. Since I haven’t had the chance to try a KIKO face palette yet, this was the time.
Review, Swatches | SUQQU 102 Blush Palette & Tone Touch Eyeshadow in 109 Youshizuku
I haven’t talked about blushes in the last three posts. That’s too long for me. So long that I needed to comeback with a blush palette, not just a single blush.
Seriously, I don’t have a problem.
This isn’t a cry for help.
Oh, and there is an eyeshadow in this review too. Came in the same kit as the palette.
Day 12 of 12 Days of Xmas 2021: My Favourite Products From 2021
Here we are, Christmas Eve, and the 12 Days of Christmas finale!! I have to confess, this was a daunting task. A post everyday for 12 days in a row talking about so many favourites was really tiring. I wrote the words “smooth”, “pigmented” and “long lasting” so many times that they’ve lost all meaning. But I’ve pushed through and this project is now fully birthed. Just in time for the most famous birthday of them all.
This post will contain the best makeup products that I’ve tried and have come out in 2021 (limited edition or not).
Review, Swatches | Pat McGrath Celestial Odyssey Holiday 2021 Divine Blush + Glow Trio in Galactic Sun
Surprise surprise, I actually got my Pat McGrath order in time for Christmas! They’re getting better with their shipping times. I order some items from the holiday collection, Celestial Odyssey, a bit before Black Friday and it arrived early December. Thank god. Because obviously, I was in urgent need for blush.
Review, Swatches | Christian Louboutin Blush & Highlighter Trio Palette in So Chick
Louboutin recently expanded their makeup line by adding eye and face palettes. So since my low-buy turned to sh*t already, I thought, why not? I have a lipstick and two liquid shadows from Louboutin and love all of it, so it felt like it was appropriate for me to try a cheek product of theirs. And “So Chick” it was.
Top 5 Surprisingly Amazing Makeup Products
You know that feeling when you just found something so inconspicuous to be so amazing? Like randomly choosing a wine at the supermarket and finding out it’s the best red you’ve ever had. Like, Emma Stone could never.
This is what these five products are – better than Emma Stone. Surprisingly so.
Summer Makeup Favourites (2020)
Well, I’m still working from home, and I can’t really go anywhere without constantly giving my nose, mouth and chin a mini-sauna, courtesy of a surgical mask, so I’ve become less and less interested in outfits and clothes, and more and more into makeup. I can still look cute in my Zoom meetings, full glam on the face and pyjamas on my legs.
Review, Swatches | By Terry Brightening CC Palette – Sunny Flash
Is it just me or does every summer makeup collection this year has had this metallic, rose gold/millennial pink packaging? Not a complaint, just an observation. The By Terry packaging knocks it out of the park and I confess that was the main reason I felt compelled to get this palette.
