Clinique Cheek Pop Blush: Plum Pop

Ohhh look what I may have purchased! Sorry but how can you resist these beautifully designed little blushes. From Clinique, this is the Cheek Pop Blush in Plum Pop. The range comes in 4 shades but this shade immediately took my fancy! 

First off is the packaging. A sophisticated clear solid case that displays a beautiful risen flower inside. Clinique have certainly hit the nail on the head with this. 

I used the Real Techniques Blushing brush to apply mine ( although I think I may use a stippling in future or my fingers). It gave my skin an instant glow with excellent pigment and a smooth finish to the skin. 

It is a hard texture to describe, it's sort of cream but sort of powder. Either way it is a long lasting formula and I can't wait to wear this in the Summer months! 

April Favourites

As if it's May already, next month i'll be in Thailand and will have finished my University degree!!

Anyways, here is my favourite products from last month. I didn't spend too much on beauty as I am trying my best to save so here they are :)... 

Nars Sheer Glow: I am so grateful for beauty bloggers reviewing and raving about this product, its absoloutly beautiful. Just wish it wasn't so expensive and that hopefully the pump will come in stock in SpaceNK soon.

Clinique bottom lash mascara: Love love love this! I am useless with mascara and manage to get it everywhere but this works perfectly to grab every little lash.

Mac Brushes: Finnalllyyy I bought myself the MAC 217 & 266 eyebrow brush! I didn't think they would make much of a different buttt ohh they do. They are denser than my original brushes and the 217 has made eyeshadow blending so so easy!

Nars Orgasm lipgloss: I have never really worn lipgloss, it just always reminds me of when I was younger and playing with loads of makeup however having a mini version of this has made me realize I need some more lipgloss in my life ha. 

Carmex: Just because I have been ill and my lips are dying at the moment ha. 

Sally Hansen Kook the Mango vanish: Coral is my fav nail colour (other than pink). Its not a harsh red, nor a bright orange but just a lovely shade that I feel makes you look a little summery and looks perfect with a tan! 

:) P.s still adoring my Naked 3 palette too!! 

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara// Review

Oopsie.. Spelling error

 One thing I can not stand is applying mascara to my bottom lashes. I get it everywhere or just on a few lashes and then they all clump together, so once I saw I had enough Boots points I decided to try out this little product by Clinique: Bottom Lash Mascara.

First thoughts, how pretty is the bottle! I never buy from clinique usually and didn't expect such a lovely little floral pattern.. anyways :) 

The brush is tiny ( as shown in the picture ) and the mascara is claimed to be smear resist, which if you are like me you'll understand that throughout the day the defined mascara you achieve at the beginning is a bit of a mess a few hours later! 

Opinions: I really do like this little one! Its small but so easy to use and allows you to pop mascara on every single little bottom lash ( I also use it for the corners or my top lashes). I really hope the bottle lasts me a while and so far I haven't had any problems with it budging either! :)

 Highly recommend!
