Benefit Air Patrol Eyelid Primer Review

Hey guys! Today's post is all about Benefit's new Air Patrol BB Cream Eyelid Primer!

I was lucky enough to receive this product, and I'm here to share my thoughts on this baby! I've had this for about a week now and I've been using it every day. Long story short - you need it in your life!

Firstly, lets talk about the amazing packaging. Benefit always has gorgeous and striking packaging, and this one is no different! The Air Patrol Primer packaging is cute, girly and adorable! The cap of the primer is also made to look like airplane wings, which suits the aviation theme perfectly.

Now let's talk about the product. The Air Control Primer doubles as a BB Cream, and contains SPF 20 which protects your eyelids from the sun! It's yellow in tone, making it colour-correcting, so you can wear it alone on those 'no-makep days', and not have to feel self conscious of those scary veins on your eyelids! (Maybe thats just me.. whoops!)

The product is dispensed using a click/twist method, which is perfect because you can control how much you're using, and it won't dry out! The bottom of the packaging claims one click is needed per eye, but I find one click is more than enough for both of them! The tip of the Primer is very soft and jelly-like, so it's very gentle on the eyelid area. It acts just like a finger to apply and blend it out!

The Air Control Primer not only hydrates and protects against sun damage, but it's also amazing as a base under eye shadows! It doesn't crease, fade, and really increases the colour payoff. I've worn this primer on 12 hour days at work, and by the end of it, my eyeshadow still looks the same!

I want to show you guys how amazing this primer really is. In the top swatch, I have one layer of the Air Patrol Primer, with Makeup Geek's Cocoa Bear applied over it using a flat shader brush. The bottom swatch is of the same eye shadow, but no primer. See how crazy the difference is?! I applied the same amount of shadow on both swatches, and well, you can see the difference for yourself. It really locks in the colour, and lasts all day!

The Benefit Air Patrol BB Cream Primer has become a 'holy grail' for me. I reach for it every morning now when doing my makeup! It has all the features I could want in a primer. Hydrating, colour correcting, has SPF, and locks in shadow.

This Primer retails for $50 and can be purchased online or at any Benefit counter in Myer stores :)

Hope you guys enjoyed this review!

Benefit U.S Haul

Hey guys!

I recently made an order through the US Benefit website, and today I'll be reviewing the goodies that I purchased!

I never intended to make a Benefit order until I received an email notifying me of free international shipping if you spent over $90. I'm a sucker for free shipping so of course I had to take advantage of the deal ;)

For us Aussies, buying makeup from the US is a lot cheaper than buying them here. It still works out being cheaper, despite how low the Australian dollar is at the moment. For example, the Roller Lash mascara on the US website is $24USD (approximately $33AUD) while it's $37AUD here if you were to buy it in store. I know it's not much of a difference, but if you're buying quite a few things, you do end up saying a lot of money!

Shipping did take a while though, which I expected, seeing as it was coming from America. I placed my order on the 18th of  November and it shipped out on the 19th. I recieved my package on the 9th of December, so it took a little under 3 weeks! 

My goodies arrived in a secure box, with my items wrapped up tightly inside! Benefit also included a few samples, which is awesome! Who doesn't love samples?!

The items I purchased were: Real Cheeky Blush Palette ($42USD), Roller Lash Mascara ($24USD) and the Fake Up Undereye Concealer ($24USD).

As soon as I saw the Real Cheeky Blush Palette on the website, I knew it had to be mine! The only Benefit blush that I had tried previously was Coralista, so this was a great way for me to try out the rest for a great price! Hoola had been on my wishlist for ages, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Hoola is a perfect bronzer. It's not too cool toned and not too warm toned. It lies right in the middle of perfection! It's insanely pigmented and just a beautiful bronzer overall. Definitely a must have if you haven't tried it yet!

The other blushes in this palette include Dandelion, Rockateur, Sugarbomb and Coralista. They've very beautiful, but not as pigmented as Hoola. Coralista is the definite stand out of the bunch, it's a beautiful peachy coral shade with gold shimmer running through it! I find with the other blushes I have to use a heavy hand while applying them. These shades definitely suit lighter skin tones, as I don't think they'd show up very well on darker toned girls! Lucky for me, I can be quite pale at times so these blushes are perfect. Just keep that in mind if you're deciding whether or not to purchase this palette!

Swatches on my NC20-25 skin

The other goodies that were included in this palette were minis of a few of their top-sellers; They're Real Mascara, They're Real Push Up Liner and Watt's Up Highlighter.

They're Real Push Up Liner

Liner applicator

They're Real Mascara

Watt's Up Highlighter

These minis are a great way for me to test out the products to see if I like them before I buy the full sizes! So far I'm in love with all of them.

They're Real Push Up Liner is a gel formula, in a super easy click up dispenser. The tip of the liner is super rubbery and flexible which means it can get right up to your lashline, and the click up dispenser means it won't dry out and won't waste any product! They're Real Push Up Liner is super black, doesn't smudge and wears for hours and hours. I'll definintely be purchasing a full size when I run out!

 They're Real Mascara has become a cult item of Benefit, as it claims to lengthen, curl, volumise, lift and seperate. I've used this mascara a couple of times now and I love it. The shape of the wand is quite fat, with a lot of bristles even on the end, which means you can use it verticaslly to coat the underside of your lashes, right on the lashline! This makes your lashes appear longer, fuller and ah-mazing! This mascara gives me so much volume it's crazy! 

The Watt's Up Highlighter is a cream highlighter, which drys to a powder finish! This champagne highlighter is super gorgeous on the cheekbones, alone or layered with another highlighter! It gives my skin such a luminous sheen and doesn't fade throughout the day.

Overall the Real Cheeky palette is such a great buy. It's the perfect Christmas present for any makeup junkie in your life, or for someone looking to start out! Then there's me who bought this for myself, whoops! I just think it's such a great deal. Not only does it come with all their current boxed blushes, but it also includes their top sellers in adorable miniature form!

The first full sized goodie I picked up was the Roller Lash Macara. I love trying out new mascaras, and I'd heard such great things about this one! The style of the wand really curls and seperates my lashes, and is super duper lengthening. I reach for this mascara when I want to look wide awake. It really helps to lift my lashes, making my eyes appear bigger, hell yeah! I don't even need to curl my lashes before I use this mascara, but I like to anyway, so I can have extra curly lashes!

Finally I picked up the Fake Up Undereye Concealer, and so far I am obsessed with it!! It is SO hydrating under my eye, it literally feels like I'm applying eye cream to my eyes instead of concealer! This peachy toned concealer covers my dark circles, doesn't settle into any lines, feels extremely lightweight and lasts all day on my skin! I have dry skin so this concealer is a saving grace for me. It feels so moisturising, but doesn't slide off during the day! 

Swatches of the Fake Up concealer and Watts Up highlighter!

That's it for my haul guys! I hope you enjoyed it :)

November Favourites!

Hey guys, today I thought I'd share with you my favourite products for the month of November!

Can we just take a moment to freak out about the fact that it's almost Christmas?! This year has gone by so fast it's crazy! Anyway, onto the favourites!

My first favourite of the month is the Designer Brands Longwear 24 Hour Foundation! I am completely obsessed with this foundation. It gives my skin such a full coverage without looking too cakey, it doesn't feel heavy on my skin and really gives me a flawless finish! I actually think this has become my favourite foundations of all time!! I always reach for it now when I want an amazing skin day ;)

The best part about this foundation is the price. It's only $12.99AUD! So crazy. Who knew affordable foundations could be such great quality. I highly recommend checking out this foundation! I have it in the shade Nude Beige and it's perfect for my light yellow skin!

Next up sn the Australis Oh Hai Brow Kit. Lately this has been the only thing that I've been reaching for in the mornings to do my brows. I regret that I stopped using it ever since I started using my Anastasia Dipbrow. Dipbrow is amazing, but sometimes I'm after a less defined brow look! This kit is perfect for that. It comes with two brow powders (which is great for mixing to create a shade that works for you), a highlighting shade, and a tinted wax! As you can tell by the picture, I use the darker brow powder and the wax A LOT. I first use the wax to outline my eyebrow shape, then I go in with the powder to fill them in! I love this method, because the powder creates a more natural brow, while using the wax to outline makes them look a bit more defined! Definitely pick up this brow kit if you're looking for something new to try!

It's no secret that I'm a highlighter junkie, and these two products are perfection!

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette has become one all of my all time favourite products ever! The fact that it comes with two face powders, two blushers, one bronzer and one highlighter makes this the most convenient palette ever! There has been a lot of negativity surrounding this palette because of how small it is, but I personally think it's the perfect size. If they made it any bigger, I think it would look too bulky considering how many powders are inside!

The other amazing thing about this palette is that it's perfect if you're new to the brand, like I was! It's such a great way to try out these powders to see which ones work better for you. Personally I use and love them all, so I will definitely be purchasing full sizes when I run out of this palette!

Indiscretion swatched. It's so gorgeous!

My next favourite is the Laura Mercier Indiscretion highlighter! This highlighter is so incredibly beautiful it's insane. When I first saw this product, I purely wanted it because of how gorgeous it looked. It's just a bonus that I love the highlighter too ;) It's such a beautiful golden shimmery copper shade, and I'm so glad I was able to get my hands on it - I am obsessed. It gives my skin the prettiest glow ever! I definitely should've bought a back up though, because I am going to be very sad once it runs out :(

I'm a bit of a concealer junkie, and these two concealers have been my favourites this month! The Urban Decay Naked Skin and the Designer Brands Mineral Concealer. I've been alternating between the both of these and I'm in love!

I'd heard so much hype surrounding the Urban Decay Naked Skin that I just had to try it out for myself. It was always sold out on the Mecca website, but thankfully I managed to grab one in the shade Light Warm. I use this concealer under my eyes and anywhere else I want a highlighted effect, like my forehead, nose and chin. It blends so easy into my skin, doesn't crease under my eyes, and feels like nothing on the skin - it's so lightweight!

The Designer Brands concealer is quite a new favourite. I wasn't sure how it was going to perform, but I've been so obsessed with it! This concealer is so creamy, provides amazing coverage, and also doesn't crease under my eyes! I like the fact that I can use this under my eyes, or on any skin blemishes. It covers beautifully, and stays in place all day.

Another thing I love about these concealers is that they have doe foot applicators! It makes it so much easier to control how much product you're using.

The Nudestix Magnetic Eye Pencil, and Lip/Cheek pencils have of course been favourites for me this month! I've already written a review on these here, telling you guys how much I love them! These pencils are just so easy to use, and really have excellent colour payoff. My favourite thing to use when I'm in a hurry!

Two more products that I've loved this month have been the Models Prefer Cream Contour stick, and the Designer Brands Beyond Amplifying mascara.

I've been using the cream contour stick everyday and I'm in love! I never intended to purchase this, but I picked it up at the recent Priceline sale and I'm so glad I did. It's been the perfect way for me to test out cream contouring. The size of this makes it so easy to outline and define your face, perfect to get right under those cheekbones! I then use a beauty blender to blend it out, which gives me a natural looking contour! The cream contour stick is great as a base under powder contour, or great on its own.

Im not usually one to rave about mascaras all that much, but this Designer Brands one is an exception! This mascara doesnt flake, holds my curl all day, and really lengthens my lashes! Since this mascara is a tubing formula, it makes removal so much better! The tubes literally glide off my lashes so easily! No more panda eyes, hooray!

Lastly I have some lip products to share! Can you tell I like neutral pink colours ;)

First I have Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in the shade Patina. This colour has become such a staple for me. It's the perfect everyday colour, and it stays on all day on my lips! I'm so impressed with the formula of the Stila liquid lipsticks too. They apply so smoothly and never dry out my lips at all!

Next I have another new favourite, Designer Brands Matte Lipgloss in the shade '509'. This is another matte pink shade, and I'm in love. It applies like a lip gloss, then dries down to a matte finish. It lasts for hours and hours, even after eating and drinking!

Here's what they look like swatched next to each other! Stila Patina is on the top, and the Designer Brands shade is on the bottom. I was surprised at how similar these look next to each other! In the tubes they look almost identical, but swatched, Patina is a tad darker and cooler toned.

Overall I love both of these shades!

That's it for my November favourites! I've really enjoyed discovering so many new products, which have become staples in my makeup routine!

 Hope you guys enjoyed reading, and I hope you have a great day <3

All about Nudestix!

Hey guys, today's post is all about the brand Nudestix! I'm sure you guys have heard about this makeup company already! There's so much hype surrounding Nudestix! I first found out about them through Instagram, and I'm so glad I did. They're a fairly new makeup brand, which is growing rapidly! And here's why. 

Nudestix is a 'no-makeup' makeup line, which is designed to achieve a natural and effortless look, that's perfect for enhancing your own features, instead of covering them up!
Nudestix are easy to use makeup crayons, full of antioxidants and moisturisers, which are packed with so much colour to get the job done in no time, leaving you flawless!

They offer a wide range of crayons for just about every part of the face, including lip pencils, eye colour pencils, sculpting pencils and concealer pencils! They also come in cute little tins containing a mirror, which is so perfect for travelling!

I currently own a few of their products, and I've been enjoying using them so much! Since their products are in pencil form, they're so easy and fast to apply. It makes life so much easier when you're in a rush and still want to look like you've put effort into your face!

The Nudestix Magnetic Eye Colour pencils are a dream to work with! I have them in the shades Immortal and Gilt. They're so unbelievably smooth and creamy, and highly pigmented. One swipe of these across your eyelids and you're good to go!

Gilt is a beautiful champagne shade which I love wearing on the eye by itself! It really brightens up the area and makes me look more awake, which is just what I need for early mornings! Immortal is a gorgeous deep bronze shade, which can be used all over the lid, in the crease to deepen up an eye look, or as liner!

I highly recommend checking out these Magnetic Eye Colour pencils, I cant rave about them enough!

The Eyebrow Stylus is a double sided eyebrow pencil, that helps shade and style brows into place. One end has a triangle pointed tip, which make it so easy to outline your brow and fill them in using feathered strokes. The other end comes with strong-hold gel that really helps keep your brows in place all day!

Ive used the Eyebrow Stylus so many times and I love it. I have it in the shade Black/Brown, and it's perfect for me to create on-point brows. The tip makes it so quick and simple to get a precise application, and really helps to define the edges! Love it!

Lastly I have the Lip/Cheek Dual pencil in the shade Mystic and Whisper. These are the perfect 'my lips but better' shades. The great thing about this pencil is that it can be used on the lips or the cheeks! I love that it's multi-purposeful!

Whisper is such a nice pinky nude shade, while Mystic is a gorgeous rosy pink shade. They both look so natural on, and I am so obsessed with blending Mystic out on my cheeks as a blush! It creates such a nice natural flushed look. These pencils aren't drying, have loads of pigment and last for hours on the cheek or the lips! Big thumbs up from me.

I am in love with the concept of Nudestix. They're so easy to use, take literally no time to apply, and leave you looking flawless. If you haven't checked out Nudestix yet, I highly recommend you do so!

Nudestix is available at Sephora.com.au

Hope you enjoyed reading guys,

My Priceline 40% off cosmetics haul!

Hey guys! Hope you are doing well :)

Today I'd thought I'd share my haul that I recently made from Priceline!

So last week on the 18th and 19th of November, Priceline was having a huge 40% off their makeup. This is a very exciting time for Aussie beauty junkies everywhere, myself included! I had my list ready to go the night before the sale, and I'm pretty pleased at how small it was! Normally I go a bit overboard, but this time I didnt and I am very proud. I did purchase a few things I probably didn't need... but you only live once ;)

This 40% off sale is a great time to stock up on brands that aren't normally reduced, like Models Prefer, or Essence. Most of my haul was actually from Models Prefer, because I wanted to try out their brushes and a few more of their Mineral Powders!

L-R: Luminous Glow, Radiant Bronze

  I really wanted to get my hands on these two Models Prefer Soft Touch Mineral Powders. Last time Priceline had a sale, I picked up the shade 'Soft Focus'. I loved it so much I just had to get the other ones. They're just a lovely all over face powder that give a bit of a sheen to the skin! I'm really looking forward to trying these other shades out! :)

 Next I picked up this awesome contouring/highighting kit, also from the brand Models Prefer. I'd heard lots of good reviews about this one! It looks exactly like the Australis Contour Palette, and of course the infamous Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour palette. I'm really excited to try this one out! I am currently obsessed with all things contour and highlighting. I do like my Australis one, but the contour colours are quite muddy looking on my skin. Hopefully this one will be better!

Can you tell I hauled a lot of Models Prefer? Haha. I purchased these cream contouring and highlighting sticks, because I wanted to try out cream contouring! I had orginally planned to pick up the new Australis Cream Contour Kit, but sadly it was all sold out at my local Priceline's. When I was browsing the Models Prefer display, I found these and I'm so glad I did! I scored these for $6 each, and I am so impressed with them! I've been using these guys everyday and I am really enjoying them alot! I use these firstly to sculpt my face where I want my contour to go, then blend it out using a beauty blender. I love how easy they are to blend! I normally go in with my powder contour after using these, but if I wanted a more natural effortless look, I'll just use these! So glad I picked up this duo, it's becoming one of my faves!

Definitely the most prettiest thing I hauled was this Physicians Formula Shimmer Strip in the shade Natural Nude. This can be used as an eyeshadow, or as a highlighter! I just think it's so gorgeous on the skin and I'm very happy I came home with it! I have a weakness for highlighters. They're so prettyyyyyyy.

Shades 45, 42

Normally I go a bit crazy and pick up so many lip products when Priceline have these sales, but this time only 3 lip products made their way into my basket. I'd seen these Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks all over Instagram, and I just needed some in my life! I was deciding which shades to get, and I ended up choosing number 42 and 45. These colors looked more my style than the other shades they had to offer. I do love a good nude lipstick and I'm sure these colours will get a workout on my lips! I love no-fuss colours that I can carry around with me! Definite hand bag staples :)

Here are a few more bits I picked up! The Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous foundation in the shade 210, Australis Velourlip in the shade 'Mum-Bai' and an Essence Brow gel!

The Covergirl foundation I have previously tried and loved, I just needed a darker shade because the one I had was too pale for me! Now I can wear this baby more often - it's such a great formula!

Australis recently launched some new shades for the Velourlip line, and I was drawn to this one! I love dark shades, and this one looks beautiful! I don't know how the formula is on this one yet, but I hope it isn't as drying as their other ones.

Finally I grabbed an Essence Make Me Brow, which is a tinted gel! I picked up the shade Dark brown, so this is perfect for finishing off and setting my brows after I've filled them in! I'll definitely let you guys know what I think about it! 

The last things I picked up at Priceline were these makeup brushes from Models Prefer! My only regret was not grabbing more! I've been using these brushes everyday and I love them! The quality is amazing and they don't shed at all! So happy with these brushes :)

Finally I picked up a Models Prefer Finale Setting Spray! I love setting sprays. I always use them after I've applied my makeup to make sure my makeup isn't going anywhere, to hydrate my skin, and to stop my makeup from looking too powdery. This setting spray gets a big thumbs up from me!

That's it for my haul guys, I hope you enjoyed it! I sure enjoyed buying all of it haha!

Real-U Skincare review!

Meet my new skincare obsession - Real-U!

I've been trialing these products for quite some time now and all I can say is that I'm totally impressed with them!

Real-U is an Australian skincare brand, which is free of Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid, which means there's no stripping of the skin, or burning or irritation when using these products. It's suitable for all skin types also!

My skin has always been problematic, so I've dealt with dryness, redness, and blemishes constantly! 

I had very high hopes for these Real-U skincare products, and I haven't been disappointed yet!

Real-U is a 3 step skincare routine. Step 1 is CLEANSE using their Gentle Foaming Face Wash, which has soothing aloe vera, leaving your skin feeling fresh, clean and nourished. 

This face wash has been a favourite of mine, and I've been using it every morning and night! Its so gentle on my skin, and does a great job at removing any excess makeup left over from my wipes. The best part about this foaming cleanser is that it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight! It cleanses without stripping any good oils, and my skin feels soft and squeaky clean after each use!

Step 2 is CONTROL using their Face Gel. This gel is specifically formulated to target any problem areas which my skin might be dealing with! I love reaching for this when I have any blemishes pop up, or any redness! This quickly helps to smooth and calm the skin, and control my breakouts. Safe to say, I'm obsessed with it!

Step 3 is HYDRATE using their Lite Moisturiser. This moisturiser is a non greasy lotion which wont clog your pores, is easily absorbed, and also rebalances and replenishes your skin nutrients. I love this moisturiser!! I would call myself a moisturiser junkie, since I love trying out different ones and finding ones that work for my dry and dehydrated skin. This Lite Moisturiser ticks all the boxes for me! It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth, and it's a great base before makeup application! My skin stays hydrated all day, without feeling greasy!

I can't begin to explain how much I love this skincare routine! I highly recommend checking them out, so you can see for yourself how amazing they are.

These products can be purchased at Real-U xxx

My favourite eyeshadows - Makeup Geek!

 Hey guys!
 
Today's post is all about Makeup Geek eyeshadows! These eyeshadows have become my go-to; I use them every day, whether it be a crease shade or a highlight shade. (Im talking about you, Creme Brulee and Shimma Shimma ;) )

Makeup Geek eyeshadows have really opened up my eyes to how the quality and pigmentation of an eyeshadow should be! Marlena, creator of MUG, has really hit a home run with these shadows. I am yet to try anything else from her makeup line, but I'm sure they'd be just as amazing!

For many years I had heard so much hype surrounding MUG. The fact that they are only $6.00 a pan is an absolute steal. Each pan has 1.8g in it, which I'm pretty sure is the same size as MAC eyeshadows, but MAC is more than double the price of MUG! (For us aussies, a MAC eyeshadow retails for $33 here :/) I cant comment on on the quality of the MAC shadows compared to my Makeup Geek ones since I don't own any, but I don't feel the need to run out and buy them. Makeup Geek has stolen my heart.

 (Top row - Shimma Shimma, Whimsical, Unexpected, Peach Smoothie, Glamourous, Creme Brulee, Starry Eyed; 

Bottom row -  Grandstand, Cocoa Bear, Bitten, Prom Night, Drama Queen, Mocha, Corrupt)

So far in my collection I have 14 eyeshadows. 9 of those were from the Starter Kit I purchased, which is a fantastic way to try out their eyeshadows. I had been wanting to purchase this Starter Kit for a very long time, but was a bit put off from the fact our Australian dollar was so low, and international shipping can get a bit pricey. But a few months back, the Starter Kits had been reduced for a limited time, so I decided to give them a try! I also picked up Peach Smoothie, Bitten, and three of their foiled eyeshadows - Whimsical, Starry Eyed and Grandstand.

 The texture and pigmentation of these foiled eyeshadows is absolutely insane!! I cant believe how much pigment they have with just one swipe. These babies dont need to be built up at all; the colour you see in the pan is the colour you get.
Grandstand is described as a medium rose gold, Starry Eyed is a beautiful light champagne beige with pink undertones, and Whimsical is a gorgeous silvery pink shade.
These shades are all so stunning and beautiful! I really wish I picked up some more!

 Here are swatches of the next few shades I have! Peach Smoothie and Bitten were the two I purchased seperately to the Starter Kit and I'm so glad I did! Peach Smoothie is the perfect transition shade for me, and Bitten is perfect for when I want to deepen up a look when I dont feel like using brown. If there is one shade I highly recommend, its Bitten! You need it in your life asap.

 Lastly, here are the last shades I own, all from the Starter Kit. I still cant get over the pigmentation that these eyeshadows have! Corrupt is such an amazing black, Mocha is a perfect medium brown shade which goes nicely in the crease, and Drama Queen, Prom Night and Unexpected are such stunning purple shades. Prom Night is the standout for me personally. The mixture of grey and purple with a shimmer finish is just out of this world. One swipe and I get full pigmentation!!

Judging from this review, I'm sure you guys can tell I love MUG so much! One day I hope to own all their eyeshadows - that would make me very happy! But for now I am more than satisfied with my collection.
If you guys havent tried Makeup Geek yet, I highly reccommend you do so! For such a great price, you cant go wrong.

Thanks for reading guys, hope you've had a great day!

Too Faced Love Flush Review

Hey guys!

How adorable are these bunnies?!

So these cute Too Faced blushes have won me over. As soon as they were released in Australia, I knew I had to get my hands on them. I had seen so many pictures over social media, and I just thought they were the most adorable compacts I had ever laid my eyes on! Too Faced gets an A+ for packaging!!

How Deep Is Your Love?

For me to get these blushes, I had to make an order on the Mecca Maxima website. The Mecca we have here in little 'ole Adelaide doesn't stock as many brands as other states do, like Too Faced and Urban Decay :( Luckily I managed to grab a few shades online before they sold out!

L- How Deep Is Your Love? R - I Will Always Love You

Too Faced claims that these blushes are a long-wear, fade-proof, smudge-proof formula that keeps your cheeks perfectly flushed for up to 16 hours.  I cant comment on how well they last for 16 hours, but I've worn these for almost 12 hours and they haven't faded! 

Swatched in sunlight

How Deep Is Your Love? is a matte strawberry red shade, whereas I Will Always Love You is a peachy shade with a lot of shimmer running through it. These blushes are perfect for anytime of the year, and I'm so glad I picked up these colours! They're both so gorgeous and I definitely need to add more to my collection.

If you haven't tried out these blushes yet, I highly recommend you do so!

They retail for $38 from http://mecca.com.au/

Thanks for reading guys, I hope you enjoyed this post.
