Natural Collection Blush Review

The Natural Collection blushes are being talked about everywhere lately, so I thought I would share my opinion on them.

I love these blushes, they are the blushes I am currently reaching for on a daily basis. I'm not crazy on the packaging but for certain products I am willing to look past the packaging if the product itself is good, so to me this doesn't matter so much.

These soft, non-shimmer powder blushes are very natural and give a nice hint of colour on your cheeks, they blend well and you don't need to apply too much product to get a good colour pay off.
I like that they are fragrance free as I have quite sensitive skin, so to me this is a plus!
They are very highly pigmented which I was not expecting as they are very cheap. They can be purchased from boots for £1.99 each.

My favourite colours from the collection are Sweet Cheeks, Rosey Glow and Peach Melba. (order in pictures)

Sweet Cheeks is a gorgeous pink colour, this is my favourite colour blush to wear in winter as this is when my skin tends to look quite dull. This adds a nice pop of colour to my cheeks to help brighten up my face. 

Rosey Glow is pinky/brown colour, it looks similar to Peach Melba only the colour is more pink than peach. I think this is the most natural looking blush that I have as the colour is not too pink looking. I think this colour is suitable to wear during any season.

Peach Melba is a beautiful peachy colour with brown undertones. I prefer to wear this in spring/summer as I like a more subtle 'glow' of colour on my cheeks and I feel this is when the colour works best with my skin tone.

If you prefer matte looking blushes over shimmer then I would recommend this collection and at the price they are, you can't go wrong!

I am wanting to try out cream blushes, have any of you tried them? What do you think of them?

L'Oreal True Match Review ♥

Hello everyone,

I have just repurchased the L'Oreal True Match liquid foundation, I've never loved a foundation more than I love this one! (and I have tried A LOT of foundations). It is the perfect match to my skin and is a very lightweight foundation. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this product!

This product is really inexpensive I got it from Boots for £9.99.

My shade: Golden Beige (W3)

I have combination/oily skin but unlike other foundations I have tried, this one does not add any extra oil to my face. Obviously throughout the day the natural oils on my face start to come through the foundation but this is normal, as long as you have a good primer and make-up setting spray/setting powder this foundation should last a long time.

Pros

• medium/buildable coverage
• blends well
• contains spf
• great colour range
• nice packaging
• pump applicator
• oil-free
• non-comedogenic
• affordable 

Cons

• poor/average lasting power

Overall I really like the L'Oreal True Match liquid foundation. It gives a medium coverage that blends extremely well, you can build the coverage without it looking cakey on your face.

If you have a similar skin complexion to me then this foundation will be perfect for you as it is oil-free and non-comedogenic.
  

I hope you enjoyed this post! What is your favourite foundation?
