Getting cheeky: Fenty Beauty Fenty Cheeks Suede Powder Blush in Tahiti Teaze

 CHEEKS WORTH CLAPPIN’ FOR...

STRAIGHT UP:

A high-performance powder blush that delivers an impactful, but super blendable, flush of colour in a range of matte + shimmer shades for all skin tones. 

Airy-soft, waterproof, sweat-resistant + humidity-resistant.

THE LOWDOWN:

A bold, but airy-soft, blush with performance that demands a standing ovation. This pressed powder delivers high-impact pigment in just one swipe, then blends seamlessly for a diffused flush of colour. 

Don't worry about fallout or looking chalky—these stay in place, won’t cake. The curated, all-star shade lineup has matte + shimmer shades for all skin tones to flaunt. Cheers, claps and snaps to that.

I'm someone who suffers from blush blindness, so finding a subtle shade that I really like and wear often is something that is worth taking a closer look at...

Since it's still available on the TikTok store, I'm going to focus the spotlight on one of my favourite shades in the line today...

It's time for another local brand which has an awesome blush line, which can currently be bought at a bargain price, because it is going to be repackaged in the near-future; you are still paying £15 per blush on Fyne's site, but you can buy the blushes from their TikTok store for just £4 [yes, the store over there is the real deal - the company CEO versatile been on it multiple times], so you can currently grab yourself a great bargain by hopping onto TikTok 👌 

Since it's still available on the TikTok store, I'm going to focus on the deepest shade in the line today, so you can see just how well the formula blends out on my basement dweller-like skin - the blushes are very adaptable...

 🚨 P.louise is changing warehouses, so loads of cosmetics, skincare, bodycare and beauty tools are on sale. 

The Cheek Of It lines had already been on clearance because they're going to be reformulated & repackaged, but now lots of other great quality items can be snapped up.

Today I want to quickly show what another one of my still available blush [plus bronzer & highlighter] products from the brand P.louise looks like in action,  so lets jump straight into the good stuff...

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...

[It is just listed with the other Cheek Of It blushes - I didn't notice that it was originally a collaboration shade]

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...

Iced out: the Huda Beauty Icy Nude face gloss.

Get your icy vibe on with Hude Beauty's Icy Nude Face Gloss (4ml) a limited edition multipurpose highlighting face gloss.

This non sticky, lightweight gloss has a transformative pH pigment that adjusts to all skin tones for a diamond like dewy finish no matter the season. Formulated with highlighting pearl beads, each bead bursts with microfine pink, purple pearls that deliver a subtle glow and blend for a natural flush of color with a radiant sheen. Designed to be multipurpose so you choose where you want to shine and dazzle from all angles.

Huda Beauty is one of my favourite brands for the consistency of the great quality of their output and I've really come to especially enjoy their powder, liquid & cream blush formulas, so this le gel formula was always going to be something that I'd be pouncing on as soon it became available in the UK...

Purple reign: NYX Buttermelt Blush in All The Butta...

You're about to get a rush with this flush of blush. Meet our new buttermelt blush. Buttery blush that blends like powder & glides like butta! Transfer & fade resistant. Get your blush crushin' for up to 12H of wear.

Butta blush. Butta boom! Buttermelt blush comes in 12 pigmented, buttalicious shades that blends like powder & glide like butta. Infused with mango butter, almond butter, & shea butter, it doesn't get any butta than this. Fade & transfer resistant. Up to 12 hours of wear. Vegan and cruelty free. No animal-derived ingredients or by products.

I wanted to try something slightly different for me as we enter a new season because I feel as though my general makeup look has become very samey since I now go for simaliar shades/tones in everything, so I decided to give a purple toned blush a try to be different but not too different... 

I've heard nothing but good things about the NYX Buttermelt blushes and saw that they have a pinky purple tone in the line-up, so my search for the perfect blush to get was very short.

Getting Cheeky; reviewing the Blush Duo Compact in 01 [Tou Tou/Strawberry Cheeks], by Natasha Denona.

Finely milled, non-oily and intensely pigmented, these blushes are perfect for all skin types.

The soft and silky texture of this blush gives a natural and bright look to the skin’s complexion. Natasha Denona Blush Duo Palette provides a dominant colour (right side) and a subtler color (left side) for blending and softening edges. They come in two different textures, matte and iridescent.

I'm not into layering blush; I'm a simple 'swipe on one shade & go' girl. So how well do the two shades wear on their own?

All for one and one for all? [reviewing the Instant Look In A Palette compact, by Charlotte Tilbury].

Darlings, beautify your face in a flash...

My Instant Look in a Palette in Gorgeous, Glowing Beauty features the most mesmerising, rich shades to instantly create a spellbinding glow. This is a fresh, gorgeous makeup look in a 7-shade palette for eyes, face and cheeks! Sculpt and define your complexion with effortless ease and prepare to dance the night away!

This is everything you need to mesmerise the world in a palette…

As much as I usually enjoy making my own colour stories using different shades and brands together for different combinations every time that I wear makeup, I admit that there  are days when I do want to put on 'a little something', but am too rushed or lazy to put in the brain power.

Will this compact deliver a quick & easy look, that still provides that suitable touch of glam?

Is bigger better? Exploring the Revolution x Rachel Leary Ultimate Goddess eye & face palette...

Today we're going to delve into the second palette in the Revolution x Rachel Leary collaboration, which has more of everything; more bronze options, more highlight picks, a choice in blush finishes and a wider variety of eyeshadow colour families. But is bigger really better?

As already mentioned in my review for the first half of this collection; I've already criticized Revolution themselves, I've had this palette since May and I'm not familiar with the 'influencer' whose name is on the palette  - so yeah, I've had plenty of time to test the products repeatedly and I don't feel any loyalty to either the brand or the collaborator to say I like the products if I don't... 

Ready to dive into today's photo-heavy review?

Keepin' it moving: the Revolution x Rachel Leary Goddess On The Go eye & face palette...

Revolution's 2019 collaboration season has really heated up now and I have one of the newer pieces to show of today - it was the newest release when I bought it, started using it and started my notes about my experiences with it, but now there's a 3-piece collection from Roxxsaurus [plus they're hinting at a upcoming release - a collab with Makeupbyjaack is my guess for it, as he's hinting at a upcoming project]... 

Anyway, back to today's subject; I've been testing the Goddess On The Go eye & face palette since it launched at the end of May and now feel able to offer a valid opinion on it. 

As per usual, I hadn't heard of the person Revolution collaborated with; no offence to the collaborators, I'm just too old and untrendy for all this social media and it's 'influencers'.

The Bargain Hunter: The £5 eye & cheek palette [the Double Take eye & face palette by P.S... Beauty].

Urban Decay's Backtalk eye and cheek palette is something that had been on my wishlist since it was released, but I kept putting of getting it as other things I wanted/needed pushed it further down the list, then it was discontinued before I got round to picking it up.

I don't usually pay much attention to blatant rip-offs designs in the beauty world, but when nipping into my local Primark for a black tank top, I saw their take on the Backtalk palette (the Double Take eye and face palette), and I just had to try it out... 

And now it's time for another Revolution collaboration review, with The Emily Edit; The Needs face & eye palette...

I'm back with another product from Revolution's ever-growing collaboration line and I've gone with another multi-purpose face palette since I really enjoy the other ones I have. For the first time in the line I actually am very familiar with the 'influencer' that the brand has chosen to work with; it's EmilyNoel83, who I've been watching on YouTube for almost 11 years. 

Revolution had been teasing this collaboration over social media a little while before it launched and I knew from the first close-up face shot they showed that it was Emily (slightly stalkerish of me), so I was ready to buy her palettes on launch day. I've wanted to wait a little while for this review to make sure that the 'wow' factor of having the name of someone that I recognize and respect on the palette had worn off, and that I'm reviewing the product purely on how well it performs.  With that being said, lets now jump into the good stuff...

Fetish blush and highlight palette, by Kat Von D Beauty...

As I said in the last post, the Kat Von D limited edition Christmas range is out in Debenhams, and if the last couple of years worth of quick-to-sell-out UK releases are a indication [and they almost-certainly are], then you haven't got long to decide if you want to get anything from it.

Allow me to talk you through the contents and provide photos of me wearing everything in the second [and final] thing I bought from it - the Fetish blush and highlight palette. I hope that this helps you make up your mind about indulging in this Fetish product, or if you'd rather sit this one out...

Christmas is coming... The Heart Heaven highlighter gift set (by I ❤ Revolution).

Last time on Christmas is coming...

... I was all giddy when I saw that Superdrug's Christmas gift range has gone live on their site, so I just had to go ahead and buy a little something. I picked out one of Revolution's sets because I have come to really enjoy their products recently and the brand falls under the 30% off perk, if you have a Staff Family & Friends discount card. I'd wanted to buy the highlight set but it wasn't in stock at the time, so I picked out and reviewed the Chocolate Heart eye/face set instead.

 When I went back onto the Superdrug site recently to look for gifts for other people, I noticed that the highlighter set was back in stock, so I jumped on it. Was the wait worth it???

A closer look at... CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!! 

I was all giddy when I saw that Superdrug's Christmas gift range has gone live on their site, so I just had to go ahead and buy a little something. I picked out one of Revolution's sets because I have come to really enjoy their products recently and the brand falls under the 30% off perk, if you have a Staff Family & Friends discount card. 

I really enjoy most of the Revolution highlighters that  I've tried, but the set of five heart-shaped ones was out of stock when I had some spare money to spend, so I turned to the brand's other outstanding product - their eyeshadow palettes.

A closer look at... the Beauty Legacy eye & face palette [by Revolution Beauty].

I had been eyeing this particular palette because of its similarly to Tarte's collaboration palette with Grav3yardgirl [the Swamp Queen eye/face palette] at the time I ordered the Kiss Of Fire palette a few months ago, but it was out-of-stock at that time so I couldn't get it. I only ordered the Beauty Legacy eye/face palette now because I was £10 away from a free £25 value goodie bag (the things make nice stocking stuffers for family/friends) and it was back in stock, so I thought it'd be an interesting item to buy & test, then make a detailed blog post on, since there isn't a lot of online info on it in English. 

Like with my other Revolution collaboration palettes, I'd never heard of the influencer that they've worked with, so having a certain name on the palette means nothing to me [Maxineczka is from Poland, I believe].

Stocking stuffer: Getting juicy with the Cheeky Peachy blush & highlight palette, by Primark...

In my last post I showed you Primark's Just Peachy eyeshadow palette, now today I'm going to show you what item lead me to discover that; the Cheeky Peachy blush & highlight palette.

Is it worth going [koko]nuts over? The Koko Kollection Face Palette by Kylie Cosmetics...

I'm late jumping onto a trendy brand, but here we are... 

I actually have a few Kylie Cosmetics items now, but have never reviewed them as her collections that had items that appealed to me were extremely limited edition, so by the time things arrived to me [between two and three weeks] and I'd tried them enough times to review, they'd gone forever. Also; the products I have are all on the 'meh' side; not too bad so I felt as though I had to warn people about throwing their money away, but not anything good enough to make me excited about and eager to share.

I've now got something that is still available to buy, so the question has become "is this face palette going to buck the 'meh' trend for me?"
