Getting Cheeky: P.Louise Cheek Of It Liquid Blush in Very Violet

 Introducing The Cheek Of It Liquid Blush! A lightweight water-based formula that melts into the skin, providing a flirty flush of colour that packs long-lasting power - Buildable, Blendable, Blushable.

Suitable for both personal and professional use with its innovative removable sculpted sponge tip that can be used to apply the blush directly to the cheeks, or clipped off for convenient cleaning or to dispense more product onto your mixing palette.

Today I want to share one of my favourite formulas on the market when it comes to liquid blushes with you - the P.louise Cheek Of It liquid blushes. The various Cheek Of It lines of blushes and bronzers are actually currently on clearance because they are being reformulated & repackaged, so you can pick up real bargains at the minute. 

I own an embarrassing amount of shades of these, and today I'm focusing on one that I've frequently worn that  is still available to buy at the time of writing this post...

Blurred lines: Rhode Pocket Blush in Tan Line

A little blush for a little flush. Our on-the-go cream blush wakes up cheeks and lips with a satiny, diffused flush that melts on smoothly and stays all day. It’s a lightweight formula that hydrates skin for baby-soft cheeks and leaves a glowy finish without a greasy feel.  

 

When it comes to makeup, I've been majorly into blush for a good few years now  ‐ whenever I go on a beauty site or into a store, it's the different blush products that are always one of the things I'll be checking out first. 

I've been watching American creators raving over the Rhode Pocket Blush sticks for a while now, so when the brand launched into UK Sephora stores I jumped straight into action. 

Having now having worn my pick many times, I'm ready to give my feedback...

Got Milk? (reviewing the expressive edp variant, by Commodity)

"In creating Milk, I was inspired by the memory of a family vacation in the Fall, when we spent hours around hot wood-fires, telling stories and making s’mores. I wanted to capture the intimate nostalgia of this moment in a fragrance" - Christelle Laprade

Seeking comfort in the familiar, this creamy and calming scent offers the perfect start to the day. Cold Milk adds a cooling element to an otherwise rich and warm fragrance of Marshmallow, Mahogany, and Tonka Bean.

During the last couple of years I've received a couple of the 10ml Milk fragrance pens in beauty advent calendars and Christmas gift sets and I was expecting another fragrance pen from the Glossybox 2025 advent calendar too, so I was surprised to find a 30ml bottle instead of the expected pen. I remember liking the scent, but I qhave habit of losing perfume pens which happened with both of my Milk ones, therefore I was really chuffed with finally getting a bottle - Commodity fragrances aren't cheap. 

I'm looking forward to a deeper dive into my first full-sized Commodity fragrance...

🚨 The limited edition Glossybox For Mum Edit contains a 30ml bottle of the Commodity J̌uice fragrance - the six-piece gift set actually costs less than a 30ml bottle alone, and then you have the other individually packaged items which make perfect gifts for others 🚨

Third time's the charm? [reviewing Cosmic Intense edp, by Kylie Jenner]

creamier, warmer, and just as addictive - experience the bold evolution of our signature fragrance.

Cosmic kylie jenner intense is a bold, ambery gourmand evolution of the original cosmic. with heightened vanilla notes and decadent benzoin, it's creamier, warmer, and just as addictive. housed in a fiery red sculptural bottle to reflect its intensity, this fragrance leaves a lasting and unforgettable impression.

🚨 The third cosmic fragrance is here; it's also the third time that I was taken by surprise by the launch of a cosmic perfume - I've not been keeping up with new fragrance releases very well for a good few years now. 

Anyway, back to the topic; I really enjoy the previous cosmic fragrances, so I had to track this new edition down ASAP...

here's hoping that it's even half as good as I'm expecting/hoping 🤞

What it feels like for a girl [reviewing Tommy Girl edt, by Tommy Hilfiger]

"Tommy girl was created for the girl in all of us"

The original and iconic Tommy Girl fragrance encourages you to take everything in and shape each day and every moment for the better.

Tommy Girl Eau de Toilette is an effervescent floral scent, capturing the freedom and optimism of a road trip in America. American treasures, opening with an invigorating burst of all-natural spearmint and bergamot. At the heart, a bouquet of jasmine and rose create the feeling of pure happiness. The scent finally reveals sensual accord of creamy sandalwood, warm amber, and musk.

Tommy Girl embraces you with unfiltered love and empowerment.

A little while ago I was trying to remember my first 'proper' fragrances and in narrowing down the list in my head, I definitely remember that Tommy Girl as being the first one that I received as a gift [Christmas 1996 - launch year]. However I was still into So..? body sprays and The Body Shop mists back then, so I don't think I wore Tommy Girl on my skin much (it probably became a air freshener tbĥ). I've long since muddled up my scent memories of it with another teenage Christmas gift [Ralph Lauren's Ralph] that I received when I was a bit older and starting to appreciate the world of fragrance more. 

When I went to Boots at the start of the year, I saw a reduced gift set of Tommy Girl dumped on a random shelf and impulsively bought it, because I'm just really curious about it. 

So let's go back to the past...
