I've been feeling uber guilty about the lack of posts and have been trying to compensate by posting mini updates on my Instagram, so do feel free to follow to keep up with what I'm loving at the mo!
This weeks Tuesday Takeover is by Shireen who is reviewing the Illamasqua cream blusher in Dixie:
Illamasqua Dixie Blush [review]
Hello to all you fabulous readers. This is Shireen from Sheen's Fabulosity Studio, a very good friend of mine from Pyari Beauty told me that Safiyah was looking for guest bloggers for her wonderful blog so naturally I jumped at the task.
I
love this time of year when the chunky sweaters are chucked away in the
suitcase giving way to some pastel colours and light waterfall
cardigans. During this time I like my makeup to be a bit bright as
well, with
a sprinkling of bronzer so that the pastiness of winter does not show
up on my face. In the matter of hiding the winter paste I came across Illamasqua last year in December when they were having a sale and boy was this blusher a bargain at £5, unfortunately now its not on sale and it is £21.50 from Illamasqua.com, but it's totally worth it. Just look at the beautiful texture of this blusher, its really creamy but once applied it
does not feel like you have a lot on your face and experimenting with
it, I found some new tips and tricks to make this blusher THE thing to
use everyday this Spring/Summer.
This
beautiful pot gives you a very dewy finish and its a warm coral pink,
perfect for my complexion. Its a bit difficult to find a good blusher
for myself as I have a yellow undertone, so a warm coral that suits me
is pretty hard to come by but this fits the bill really well. For me, I apply this with an Eco Tools foundation brush which
I have found is pretty useful with anything creamy. Then blend upwards
in circular motion with your brush into a "c shape" to achieve a natural
flush rather than a caked on fake blush. For this blusher, less is more
just build it up but this colour is so warm that you would not need
more.
Apply
it on foundation for a dewy finish or under the foundation, yes, you
heard me right, use it under your foundation for a wonderful glow and it
will look so natural people will think its your own natural blush or
flush coming on from under the foundation. Perfect for the no makeup
"makeup" look.
You
can also apply this cream blusher as a lip stain or as a balm and it
works like a dream; it has vitamin E in it so it does not dry your
lips. Apply it with your fingers and blend, Voila you have a matching
lip colour that will suit you much better than any other lip colour with
this blush. This
is becoming my go to blusher for this season until I fall in love with
another blusher. Famous last words, Dixie you are fabulous.
Love and Peace All
