The Balm Cabanaboy blush

Hi there.

A got a little bit of a surprise when I walked into Superdrug not too long ago, and spotted The Balm right in front of me!

Mary-Loumanizer from The Balm is my favourite and most used highlighter, and I've been itching to try out more products from the brand. So who was I to resist when I saw a fully stocked stand?

Cheek products are my favourite things to buy, so I decided to try out Cabanaboy blush.

I always tend to reach for plum and mauve shades, and this shade is just that. This is a beautiful neutral plum blush with a little teeny bit of a sheen and I think I'm in love. Cabanaboy is highly pigmented and so soft to apply. I've used this every day since I bought it and it's made me want to try even more shades.

Some cheek products I use tend to fade throughout the day, most of the time because I touch my face constantly and manage to rub them off, but this literally lasted all day long and still looked like I'd applied it that very morning.

The packaging is such a selling point for me too, with vintage style pictures and sturdy cardboard makes it so unique. This blush has a pretty decent size mirror in it too which makes it such a perfect blush to pop into your make up bag for travelling or just day to day use.

This will absolutely be making it to my next favourites post, believe me!

Have you tried anything from The Balm? What's your favourite?

Beauty haul #2

Hi there.

For some reason lately, I haven't been in a make up buying mood. Shocking, I know! I've gone into Boots and Superdrug countless times recently, and nothing has caught my eye.

I did have to repurchase a moisturiser yesterday, and ended up picking up a few things in Superdrug and a few other places. Everyone loves a haul post right? 

Superdrug:

* MUA Bronzed perfection bronzer. I contour every day, but never use a bronzer to bronze up my skin. I thought it was about high time I jumped on that band wagon, so picked this up to try out

* Make up Revolution Pressed powder in translucent. I've been wanting to use a lighter setting powder for under my eyes to highlight a little, and I'm a huge Make up revolution fan so figured why not try out one of their powders

Wilko:

* Essence Liquid lipstick in 03 Almost real. This is a new product form essence and I'm a sucker for lipstick/lip gloss/lip liner and couldn't resist picking this up.

* Essence Make me brow eyebrow gel in 02 Browny brows. I admit it, I have an obsession with eyebrows....the more products to try out, the better.....

Lush:

* Mask of Magnaminty. I've had a seriously annoying breakout on my chin for a little while now, and nothing seems to clear it. I've heard nothing but great things about this mask, so decided to try it out for myself.

Well, that was sort but sweet. I think I've had a bit of a mental block when it comes to buying make up. Nothing seems to jump out at me lately!

Have you bought any beauty bits lately?

Make Up Revolution iconic 2 palette

Hi there!

When it comes to eyeshadow palettes, I'd say that I have more than enough to last a lifetime. However, I still continue to add to my collection. And no I'm not a little bit sorry about it. 
The newest palette to join the party is the Make up revolution iconic pro 2 palette. 

I'd heard that this was a dupe for the second Lorac pro palette which I've been dying to get my hands on, so I figured  this would definitely be worth giving a go. 

The make up revolution palettes I currently have in my make up collection are all amazing quality and this one is no different. Containing 16 shades, each one is highly pigmented with very little to no fall out. There's 8 shimmery shades along the bottom row, and 8 matte shades along the top row. 
The pro palette also contains a mix of neutral and smokey shades which makes this a perfect palette to travel with, allowing you the choice of a day or night look. 

There isn't a shade in this that I haven't used and loved. The second and third matte shades along the top are great for transition eyeshadows, and all three of the lighter shades are perfect for highlights.

If you're in the market for a new palette to try, add this to the top of your shopping list for sure. 

Have you tried this palette? What's your favourite colour combo?
