High street Vs High end, My Favorite - Cream blushers.



Cream blushers - Revlon Photoready cream blush 'Coral Reef' & So Susan 8 hour cheek stain

Revlon Photoready cream blush - £7.99
This is my go to cream blush on a daily basis if I'm not using my So Susan one, I hardly ever wear powder blushes anymore I just find cream blushes so easy and quick to apply, there great if your in a rush or for making a more opaque pop of colour to your cheeks, I apply mine using a Real techniques buffing brush just dabbing it on my cheeks, but of-course you can use your fingers if you prefer, perfect if your on the go. The colour is stunning, a coraly pink shade that makes me cheeks look glowy and ready for the summer. 

So Susan 8 hour cheek stain - £25.00
The only annoying thing about this product is it has no shade name! They do only have the one though so it's easy enough to find on there website, I haven't heard much of this brand at all until I stumbled across it at the Clothes Show Live last year. There packaging is so beautiful as well as the products them self, this is such a pretty pinky red shade that makes my cheeks look blushed but very pretty, you can make it as sheer or as opaque as you like and it does last a good few hours throughout the day. I like the retractable stick and again I use the buffing brush but if your on the go perfect again as you can just dab it on your cheeks with the stick and blend with your fingers. I am constantly changing up these blushers through out the week and love them both, I didn't actually pay the RRP for this either as I got a bag full of So Susan goodies for a mere £5 best bargain of the day as they have some truly gorgeous products and the packaging is to die for. 

Have you tried any of these products before?



High street Vs High end, My favorite - Concealers.



Collection Lasting Perfection 'Light' & Mac Studio Finish SPF 35 'NW15'

Hello lovelies, back to my favorite products on high street vs high end, today I have for you my favorite concealers, very different in price but firm favorites of mine that I always reach for.

Collection Lasting perfection concealer - £4.19
If you haven't heard of this product before where have you been hiding, under a gigantic rock? This is famous around the blogosphere and under £5! This creamy concealer is perfect for hiding blemishes or making your under eyes look more enhanced and bushy tailed. It comes in 4 shades Light, Fair, Medium and Dark, I like to use Light under my eyes for the Kim Kardashian styley make up look and Fair on my blemishes to make it more easier to blend in with my foundation, an all rounder best budget beauty buy.

Mac Studio finish SPF 35 concealer - £15
This is a very creamy opaque concealer, this gives amazing coverage perfect for those nasty big zits and also for covering those dreaded bags under the eyes. It is water resistant and the first concealer I have tried that doesn't crease under my eyes, hallelujah. It lasts all day with thanks to a good powder and doesn't feel cakey at all on the skin, I use this err'day. It is pretty much triple the price of my favorite high street concealer but I love it and it doesn't crease, I have been searching for a concealer like this forever.

Do you have a favorite concealer?


High street Vs High end, My Favorite - Foundations.



Foundations - MAC Studio sculpt 'NW20' & Rimmel 25 hour '100 Ivory'

Hello lovelies, I thought I would do some blog posts showing you my favorite products that are high end and high street as I do love a bit of both and I know everyone has their own budgets and preferences. I own a mixture of high end and high street, mainly high street but I like to treat myself now and again with some high end pieces, I thought I would start these posts of with my favorite foundations.

Rimmel Lasting finish 25 hour foundation -

This is my favorite high street foundation and I think it always will be, I have tried a range of different affordable foundations and I always always come back to this, it gives amazing coverage, medium to full. It is quite thick, but that's how I like it you can always adjust it to how you like it though, it blends in like a dream and doesn't look cakey on the skin at all, it dries quite matte but doesn't cling onto any dry areas. It is very long lasting, I don't know about 25 hours as I wouldn't leave foundation on that long but it has lasted me all day and night before, keep up the good work Rimmel. 

Mac Studio sculpt SPF15 foundation -

I love this foundation so so much, If I never had to worry about money I'd have this and only this probably but my high street option is great for work and if I don't want to use all my Mac one up. I like this over my Estee Lauder one even, I know shock horror, again this is build-able to your taste from medium to full, thick and creamy and gives you such a flawless finish, it's very long lasting and just makes my skin feel alive, vibrant, fresh, dewy and just lovely! I adore it so much and how my face transforms when I apply this. 

Just a little note I have combination skin if your interested in any of these foundations I would highly recommend them both to you, especially if you have combination skin.

What is your favorite foundation?
