MAKEUP COLLECTION SERIES | BLUSHERS

Well hello there!

Today is actually my 21st birthday so Happy Birthday to meee! So excited to finally be 21, I hope you all have a lovely week!
Welcome to another makeup collection series post I hope you are enjoying reading them, I have some YouTube videos on bigger parts of my collection if you're interested then my channel is always linked at the bottom of my posts. This post is all about the single blushers I have, any blush palettes will be in my face palette YouTube video as I have quite a lot. You know the drill by now I will show you what blushers I have then after I will talk you through my favourites etc.

Revolution - Treat

Physicians Formula - Vintage Rouge

Bare Minerals - Sorbet

L'oreal - Peach Addict

I have got into blush a lot more recently, I rarely used to wear it but now I am applying it on an everyday basis. I don't really have a shade that I am most drawn to I like different shades of blush but I am enjoying more peachy tones as it is more warm for the summer. So at the moment my favourite is the L'oreal Life's a Peach Blush and I have been using this so so much lately. I am also obsessed with the Mac Pinch Me blush, this is probably the one I use the most as the colour may look a bit dark but this is the sheer tone formula so it's perfect for every skin tone.

So those are all the single blushers in my makeup collection!

Thank you so much for reading,

TECHNIC MATTE MEGA BLUSH PALETTE REVIEW

Well hello there!

I have a review post for you today and I am going to be reviewing something from Technic, and that is the Matte Mega Blush Palette. I feel like I hear no one talk about Technic because it is a really cheap brand, but I am looking forward to trying this and seeing what it is like. Also would like to mention that this palette is only £4 for 4 shades!

Packaging

So as I just said this palette is only £4 I am not expecting the most boujee packaging whatsoever so it is just really basic. It is plastic and has a clear lid so you can see exactly what you are getting. It comes with 4 shades of blusher, one is a really pale pink, 2 of them look almost the same and the other one is more of a peachy shade. It feels super light and the palette itself is actually a lot smaller then I thought but you are getting 4 shades for such a cheap price.

Application

Application was pretty easy and these are very pigmented considering how cheap the palette is. There is a lot of kick back with them but that is expected, as I say that doesn't bother me as long as it has got pigment. The brush picks up a lot of product so make sure you tap your brush off if you are going to buy this. When applied to my cheeks the colour is definitely there so from first impressions I am pleasantly surprised.

Swatches

Longevity

This is where my opinion slightly changes on this formula. I'm not sure if it's because it is extremely hot in the UK at the moment and I sweat the product off but by the end of the day the majority of my blush had disappeared. I wore this for over 8 hours.

Opinion

If you are after a cheap blush palette for your collection and don't want to spend a lot of money on one then this is for you! The formula is not long lasting but not a lot of people love blush so you may even love this formula. It is a small palette but for £4 you can't really complain, these aren't my favourite blushers however I will be using these again because this costs under a fiver! Definitely check this out if you are on the hunt for really cheap blushers. Also this is super travel friendly so if you are on the go a lot and are a massive fan of pink toned blush that is another reason to check this out.

So that was my review on the Technic Mega Blush Palette.
