NARS blush in Amour

Hi! Long time no talk! Today I will be reviewing my first NARS blush!! The one I bought is Amour which is a darkened pink-tinted coral. There is no shimmer; it's a matte finish and it's a very natural color.

It is super pigmented, so be sure to apply it lightly. But overall, it's easy to work with cause it's a fine powder. Amour really gives you a radiant/glowy look - love it! It stays on all day as well.

As all the other NARS' packaging - it's gorgeous. Only thing is that it gets messy easily.

Here's a swatch of Amour:

Overall, it's a great blush - worth the price tag! If you're looking for a blush that will make you look radiant - I highly recommend this one. I see this blush as being a permanent item for me in my collection :) And I will surely expand my collection of NARS' blushes! 

What's your favorite NARS blushes?

August Favorites 2013 ♡

Hi everyone! I can't believe how fast summer went by. I honestly feel like it's just started and now it's already September! I'm having my first day of class tomorrow at college! Yesterday was more like a welcome day and stuff. Soon, I'll do my Summer Favorites so be on the look out for that.

So let's get started! :)

♡Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial: I'm you've all heard about the Apocalips on all on the blogs and on Youtube. Apocalips feels like a lipgloss, but has the coverage of a lipstick. Super pigmented with a satin smooth shine. It has a different texture, it's like a velvety lip cream. Super creamy and opaque as well. Celestial is a pink mauve which is a great neutral pink(ish) color! If you want to know more on the Apocalips, I have a full review right here.

♡Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the bronze: Color Tattoos are another beauty product that is popular in the beauty world! Bad to the Bronze is a great color to put alone on your eyelid when you're in a hurry and it looks like you've spent time doing your eye makeup! On my eyelid, Bad to the Bronze looks like a neutral shimmery tan with a bronze. Which is gorgeous for a day-to-day eye makeup look or if enhanced with dark colors it can make a gorgeous smokey eye!

♡Bourjois Bronzing Powder: First off, how cool is that it looks like chocolate? But I honestly don't think it actually smell like chocolate just something sweet. It looks quite subtle and natural.

♡Maybelline Fit me! Shine-Free: This is perfect for me as it's something you can ready fast in the early morning. It looks very natural. The packaging makes it super convenient for touch up during the day! If you wanna know more, I have a full review about this right here.

♡Kat Von D Everlasting Face Shaper Blush in Por Vida: This is the latest blush to enter my collection and I love it! The color, pigmentation, staying power and texture makes it great. This blush is described as a warm pink, it's accurate, but I would say that there's hint of corals while adding a bit of a glow! It's super pigmented as well! I also have a full review on this blush right here.

Kat Von D Blush in Por Vida

To be honest, this is my first Kat Von D beauty product. The main reason being that I often purchase high-end brands/products that I see alot of reviews on them, cause obviously if I pay the price I want to have a great product! But for this product I bought it just like that, without reading reviews on it or it being on my wishlist, saw the color and it looked like nothing I had so, of course I had to have it! Kat Von D's makeup line seems to be not that popular on blogs/Youtube and I don't understand cause from this product I can say that it's probably a great makeup line!

Some people might think the packaging seems kinda cheap, but I quite like the design and the shape of it. I find the roses on it so cute! hehe!

Really like having a mirror with my blushes as well - very practical. 

This blush color is described as a warm pink which I can say is accurate. But there's also hint of corals - which I adore. This blush has an illuminating/glowing effect which I love. It has a light sheen to it.

 This blush has a great pigmentation, texture and lasting power.

Pigmentation// It's super pigmented so you should be applying it with light hand and don't forget to blend as it's quite blendable.

Texture// The texture is quite soft and easy to work with!

Lasting power// Although it claims to have a 24-hour wear, I can't say whether it's true or not, because I will never wear my blush for 24 hours. But I can say that at the end of the day it fades a bit. 

Overall, I have NOTHING negative to say about this product. I think it's flawless! aha! Great color, pigmentation and easy to work with is all I'm looking for in a blush!! There's seven blushes in this collection and I already want more. I think that this product has me a new fan of Kat Von D's makeup line.

February favorites

Hi lovelies! I'm kinda late with my February favorites, but better late than never, right? So, this month of February was an important month for me- I turned 20 on the 1st! On the other side, I did not experiment with beauty products all that much but I still want to show you some of my favorites! So, let's go!

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Inked in Pink:
In the pot, it may seem a bit scary. Honestly, I was a bit scared cause I thought: "I don't wear that kind of pink eyeshadow", but then I tought of Sin of the Urban Decay Naked Palette and I heard that it was a great duo with Wet N' Wild Walking on Eggshells. (which is also one of my favorite) It's a light frosted pink/rose gold/champagne color, it's super gorgeous. Believe it or not, you can actually get a pretty neutral look with this, which is what I love.

Wet N Wild eyeshadow trio in Walking on Eggshells:
As I said, this is a great duo with the color tattoo in Inked in pink. Or it can also be great on it's own. It's great for an everyday look. For the quality and the pigmentation, you can't go wrong with how much you pay for this. It's just an overall amazing little palette.

Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara:
This is a great volumising mascara. Some people LOVE it, some people HATE it. But I think it's great and one of my favorite at the moment. I have a review on this mascara which you can check out here.

Essence Cherry Blossom Girl Blush in Asian Sensation:
This is a great everyday blush, it gives you a natural and fresh complexion look.

Essence Cherry Blossom Girl Highlighter:
This might be one top my Benefit Highbeam highlighter. It's a pinky color. It gives a GREAT glow which I what I really love about this product. I'm sad that this isn't in their permanent lines, because it's really great.

Essence Cherry Blossom Girl Quattro Eyeshadow in Under a cherry tree:
I've been loving the two neutral eyeshadows on the right; they are super glowy, pigmented and blendable!
