Review: Topshop Cream Blush in Flush

So I have another review for you today!

This review is going to be of the Topshop Cream Blush in Flush.

Until just over a month ago, I had never tried Topshop makeup. I'd heard of it, and read great things about it, but never bought anything. (That might have something to do with the fact that my tiny local Topshop doesn't stock it)!

I am now a complete convert, and cant wait to buy more things from the range!

The packaging is lovely, quite sophisticated, with the sleek packaging, but quirky too, with the random spots.

The shade I own is Flush, and is although it looks bright in pan, when blended, it is a very natural colour.

You can see from where I've swatched it, it is very creamy.

As you can see, when blended, it gives a lovely natural colour.

It is really easy to use, light on the skin, has just the right amount of pigmentation, and is perfect for spring/summer!

Topshop have a few colours in the range, and I will be checking them out soon!

What are your thoughts? Have you tried Topshop Cream Blushes?

Review: Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Birthday Suit

If you have read my blog for a while, you may have noticed that I am a big fan of cream eyeshadows. And seeing as every man and his dog (including me) are doing reviews on the Maybelline Colour Tattoo Gel/Cream Eyeshadows, I thought I'd talk a little bit about other cream shadows that are on the market.

Now, I'm not trying to persuade you away from the Maybelline Colour Tattoo's, as they are incredible value, and these ones are considerably more expensive, but I will do a review never the less!

So the products is the Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Birthday Suit.

As you can see, the packaging is very similar- glass bottom with the black lid.

I've had this eyeshadow for nearly a year now, and I still have at least a quarter left, and I used to wear it every single day!

On the Benefit website, the shade is described as a 'Brushed Crome' in my eyes, in some light it looks like a dark gold, and in some light it looks like a very light bronze. Like with all eyeshadows, they look different to and on other people.

You can see the colour by the swatch.

The consistency of these are a lot creamier than the Maybelline ones. They are softer on the fingers, and easier to blend.

Again, creaseless wise, both are as good as each other, they really don't budge at all! Even if you have oily lids!

The only plus side to these ones, are that they are easier to blend, and they have more selection of colours that are more suited for every day wear.

Have you tried either of them? Which did you prefer?

Review: Maybelline 24h Colour Tattoo in Eternal Gold

Last weekend, I got my hands on a Maybelline Colour Tattoo, and have been using for the past few days, so that I could do a review of it.

The packaging is very sleek and sturdy, with a similar look to MAC Paint Pots and Benefit Creasless Cream Eyeshadows. Although, the magnified glass bottom can be a bit misleading, as it leads you to presume that there is more than 4g in the pot! But with such a lovely product, we can look past that, cant we?!

The name says that these eyeshadows will last for 24 hours. Firstly, who needs makeup to last for 24 hours? I personally like to wash my face twice in that time period! But because it is said to last for 24 hours, it means it will last for the whole working day, without a problem.

The pot is a little bit larger than the Benefit Cream Eyeshadow, meaning you are getting a bit more product, and the price is considerably cheaper! When it claims to last all day, it really does! I have incredibly oily lids, and it lasted well with and without primer. Usually, even with my Urban Decay Primer Potion, powder eyeshadow will have creased at around the 6 hour mark, but this has really exceeded its expectation!

This picture portrays pretty well the gorgeous colour. It is a beautiful gold, very similar to Urban Decay Half Baked when on the lids. It is incredibly pigmented, and a little goes a long way. I got so many compliments when I was wearing it, and its the perfect eye product for summer, as you don't need to worry about topping it up!

You can see here, the amazing pigmentation! The colour is so lovely- I think I am a little bit in love!

It is such a bargain at £4.99, with competing products priced at around £14, and in my eyes, this is really up there with the high end products!

I will defiantly be investing in the Bronze shade as they are so great!

Have you tried one? What are your thoughts?
