Perfect Blushes

if you're like me and have the skin of a milk bottle you will know how useful a good blush can be, because i am so pale, finding a good blush is hard, however they are my guilty pleasure and i have to admit i am the biggest hoarder of them; there are quite a few in my makeup collection..

i thought i would share with you my top 5 favourite blushes, enjoooooyyy!

My Top 5 Blushes

1. Sleek blush trio in 'pink lemonade'
i have to say sleek is one of my favourite brands for blushes and at £9.99 this trio is perfect value as you get 3 for a tenner! The first shade is 'icing sugar' and is a very natural pink shade which i love applying on my cheeks for a slight shimmer. The middle shade is 'macaroon' and is a quite a peachy cream blush, have never tried a sleek cream blush before, but it has great colour pay off and lastly the shade on the right is 'pink mint' which is much like the first shade shimmer-wise but it is quite a bit darker and i would describe this as more of a fuchsia colour. All in all i think this is brilliant, especially for taking travelling as you have 3 different blushes in 1 compact!

2. Too Faced perfect flush blush in 'candy glow'
I bought this a few months ago in a moment of spontaneity, i had previously seen this all over tumblr/instagram because of how pretty the packaging is. It is extremely photogenic haha!That is one of my favourite things about this blush; the beautiful packaging. this is more on the pricey side at £24, but for a high end blush, its great value! it consists of 3 shimmery shades varying from peachy shades to more coraly ones. i love sweeping my brush accross all 3 colours to just have a slight injection of colour on my cheeks, i love that this also doesn't come out too drastic either, its very natural!  

3. Mac powder blush in 'Fleur Power'
This is my most recent blush buy, but i have used it pretty much every day for the last 2 weeks, again its on the pricier side at £18 but mac blushes never fail to disappoint. This shade is very natural and is one of the only blushes i have found to match my skin tone like perfectly! The colour pay off is great and I've found i can use this higher up on my cheekbones to contour slightly and it still looks fab! 

4. Nars Blush in 'super orgasm'
I have gotten a lot more into nars recently and just had to try one of their blushes, so when i found myself in selfridges i opted for this beauiufl coral pink shades with little flecks of gold running through it in the sahde 'super orgasm'. the thing i love about this is it is so versatille.i use it a lot when i go out because it is very light reflecting and looks so pretty in photos. Apologies again as this is another high end blush at £22.50 but i would honestly reccomend splashing out for this!

5. Nyx Cream blush in 'boho chic'

Unfortunately we don't have a nyx here in the UK but, around Christmas time i found myself ordering a bunch of nyx things from their website as i just had so many things i wanted to try. I have always been a big fan of cream blushes because i have quite dry skin and i thought i would try out the nyx one. This is great value as well, i think i payed the equivalent of about 6 pounds which is amazing! It is such a fantastic product, you need the tiniest bit on your finger, blended out and it gives you the loveliest glow, we just need a nyx in England now!
