Hello Loveys,

 

Todays review is on the MAC blusher in Breath Of Plum, a gorgeous warm blush that adds a flush of berry to the cheeks, perfect teamed with a smokey eye.

This is my first MAC blusher in years, I first bought Dolly Mix when it came out in the Limited Edition collection many moons ago, it had fun white and Japanese inspired graffiti, if I am right as can't quite remember the exact description, I fell in love instantly but left getting a new one till I had gone to another MAC store which I hadn't and time flew past without me thinking twice about purchasing a blusher again, but its time!

This blusher has great pigmentation, it is a sheertone blush which means you can build up the colour rather then looking like you have applied a tone of blusher in one go. I wanted to pick a blusher that was warm and not a shade I had tried before, and boy is this a beauty, it is so pretty, and have not seen another like this on the beauty market. The only thing about this blusher is that it would only suit, in my opinion, an autumn winter look so isn't one to use all year round which I didn't think about at the time, just something to think about if you want to buy this blusher! The name Breath Of Plum is something that attracted me to this as its such an unusual inviting name, where you imagine sitting by the fire, your cosy clothes on after a warm bath with a nice cup of tea and a candle flicking nearby.I will definitely want to add to the collection and will be going straight for Dolly Mix as still remember its beauty, but would highly recommend this if you are looking for a warm berry shade that gives you that just got indoors from a frosty walk look.


 

 

 

Hello Loveys,

 

New year new you is what seems to be on a lot of peoples lips, eating healthy, heading out to the gym or buying a fitness dvd, its all about health and feeling good. A lot of people forget that you also need to ensure you are looking after your skin, one of my resolutions last year was to make sure that I had a skincare routine, a resolution I actually stuck by and am continuing! So when I get offered to review a skincare product I get super excited as love finding out about new brands products available, and more importantly I love sharing them with you so here is a new brand to me *HEALGEL, a brand created by British plastic and cosmetic surgeons, an actor, and dermatologist biochemist a varied team!

 

Healgel is an aqueous gel that "soothes, repairs and protects skin", I was lucky enough to try the following two products.

 

Healgel Face, an "anti-ageing formula for firmer, smoother and replenished skin". This creamy white gel sinks into the skin beautifully, it made my skin feel smoother and the scent reminded me of walking into an essential oil boutique, with a scent of lavender which isn't overpowering and it contains Omega oils to "nourish dehydrated skin and restore elasticity". This product also contains Arnica and Madecassoside with "powerful peptides and biodynes to initiate a uniquely soothing and collagen boosting process" with added hyaluronic acid. This sounds like a bottle of heaven for my skin! I would recommend this to you lovely blog readers, but don't expect drastic changes to the skin, it isn't a miracle gel or a product that would transform but it is a product that makes the skin feel hydrated, soft and smooth, it has a handy pump and I like the clean simple packaging. I applied this at night time and in the morning, whenever I woke after applying it my skin would appear brighter and soft so I would say give it a go as its a lovely all rounder. Priced at £48.00.
