Sleek Life's A Peach Blush Review

Hi guys!

-

Today is the start of my half term holidays which last for a week which means I will have more time to post, and whenever I have more time I like to post reviews as I have more time to take pictures of products. Today I saw a gorgeous Sleek blush called 'Life's A Peach' which is a lovely peachy orange colour that's matte. It's easy to apply and wear which I am very much looking forward to doing so on holiday. I'm sure I told you guys that I have been doing a little summer beauty plan where I will be buying 1-3 products every 2 weeks up until the 21st of June which is about 2 weeks from my birthday. This way I will have all the products I need for holiday in time. This was one of the very first products I wanted and it cost £4.49 from Superdrug so it was very cheap. I applied it as soon as I got home with a Real Techniques Powder Brush and it immediately looked peachy and fresh. With a highlighter it will look perfect by the pool with a coral lipstick or for a meal out with MAC Morange.

I would really recommend this blush for all year around because it's a gorgeous texture and a gives a peachy flushed look that stays on for hours. If you are like me and have quite fair skin you could still use a pinky blush over the top of the blush that could be applied lightly in the hollows of the cheeks.

NARS Blush Dupes

Hey guys!

-

As promised here is my Nars blush dupes. Sorry for the short introduction I just really wanted to get into this post!

-

-

NARS Taj Mahal/NYX Golden Orange, NARS Desire/NYX Pinky, NARS Super Orgasm/MAC Springsheen, NARS Amour/NYX Dessert Rose

-

I think NARS Taj Mahal is a beautiful colour that would be perfect for a holiday and NYX Golden Orange is slightly brighter but still a warm blush with orange undertones. NARS Desire looks like a very bright colour like MAC Stay Pretty blush but it's actually a very pretty pale shade of pink perfect for spring. NARS Pinky looks pretty different to this colour but when you try is on it is very similar. NARS Super Orgasm is a colour that I am in love with and I would love to buy it one day when I have the £21.50 to spend on one blush but for now the £18 MAC Springsheen looks like the most perfect match to the NARS blush. Finally NARS Amour is just a little darker than Super Orgasm and it's not a glittery but it's still a deep shade of pink that looks a lot like NYX Dessert rose which is also a dark pink blush that I would love for Autumn.

So, comment your guys favourite dupe from this post! I love reading your comments so thank you for all of the lovely messages.

Favourite High End Products Of 2013

Good evening everyone!

-

Well I am going back to school tomorrow so I need to get my make up sorted and whilst looking through there were a few high end products I received this year that I love so I thought I would share them with you guys!

-

If you are a regular reader you will know that I adore this lipstick because it's the very first MAC lipstick I ever brought. I always get comments on this colour when I pull it out my make up bag because the colour really is gorgeous. It's quite a dark pink colour so it doesn't wash you out like most nudes, and it's very subtle when it's on. It isn't that matte however if my lips are flaky (which they rarely are) it can tend to cling a bit but a bit of gloss sorts that out.

(MAC Blankety Lipstick)

 If you saw my haul post you will have seen me mention this blush. I love this blush because the colour is so spring/summer however it also gives a lovely fresh glow in winter too. I would repurchase this over and over again however I do like trying out different colours with blush so I would perhaps try dolly mix next time. The only downfall with this product is you have to apply quite a lot to get a good colour however it is build-able and not cakey at all.

(MAC Stay Pretty Blush)

 This is the only product in this post that isn't MAC! This primer is so amazing and I would recommend to everyone - whatever your skin type. I have quite oily skin but it doesn't at all increase that. It sinks into the skin well and gives me a nice base coat that doesn't make my foundation settle on top of my skin with visible brush marks.

(Clinique Superprimer)

 These paintpots are my new favourite thing! I adore this product because unlike other cream products I have tried it is blendable and buildable however it maintains a beautiful colour. I would repurchase this very colour because it is so beautiful however I don't know if I would apply one colour paintpot then another colour paintpot over the top because I think they would mix quite a bit creating a bit of a strange colour but as a base with a powder eye shadow as well they are great.

(MAC Paintpot In Bare Study)

 Finally another one of my Christmas presents. I pretty much liked my Rimmel Stay Matte powder however with finding my skin getting more and more oily since using the much more fluid Rimmel Match Perfection foundation I wanted a better coverage powder. This powder gives amazing coverage and I think in a day I might re-apply this product about twice which is really good seeing as my previous powder would need about four applications a day.

(MAC Studio Fix Powder)

So comment your guys favourite high end product of 2013! I have just loved MAC in 2013 and probably will increase my collection this year. Thank you for reading!

Love Claudia

Final haul of 2013

Good afternoon everyone!

-

I can't believe this is the last haul of 2013! I know I have only been blogging since around October time but it has gone so quick, I can still remember writing my intro post like it was yesterday! Well anyway with my. Christmas money I went into town and I used all of my MAC voucher except for £5 of it! So here is what I brought!

-

This is a collage of everything all together!

Left to right - Soap And Glory Sugar Crush Set from Boots containing body butter, body scrub and body wash (£9 in the sale),  Blue/black glittery false nails from Primark (£1), False Eyelashes from Boots(£5.49), Red false nails from Primark(£1), Real Techniques powder brush from Boots (12.50), MAC blush in stay pretty (£18), MAC palette with new colour Sumptutuous Olive (£10 per pan), MAC concealed in NW15 (£15), and a dome shading brush from Real Techniques (£6)

I mainly got a lot of these items because of the offers in Boots for example a buy one get one half price on real techniques brushes and half price on all gift sets! I think I might do a what I wore for New Year's Eve and a look using all high end products then compare that with a drugstore look. Also I will do a few looks with my MAC palette! Wel thanks for reading everyone and have a lovely evening! 
Love Claudia
