MINIMALIST BLUSH PART 2
Thursday, 29 May 2014
You may remember a while back I did a post on 'Minimalist Blush', where I featured two of my natural blush picks that I can sweep on, on a daily basis. Today it's time for part two, focusing on the extremely natural, almost nude shades which are both relatively new to my routine (well, the L'Oreal offering actually belongs to my mum, but I'll be borrowing it rather frequently).
Both blushes are actually designed for pale skin which is a huge plus for me as it doesn't seem I will be tanning all that much this year. The same as last time, there is a cream, and a powder offering to suit either end of the spectrum blush-wise.
For a cream, it's Billion Dollar Babies by Dainty Doll, a heavily brown toned pink which I can almost get away with as a blush/contour in one by applying it a little lower than usual and blending a little, which makes it even more minimalist for the rushed mornings I generally face.
For powder, the offering is in the form of the L'Oreal Le Blush in 125 Rose Nude/Nude Pink and although the texture isn't the best I've tried of cream blushes it is a stunning natural nude pink colour that stays put for hours - I went out in the morning and when I came home early afternoon my foundation was starting to fade and go patchy around the nose etc., but this blush was still standing strong on my cheeks, making it an instant winner.
I think I will be making this 'Minimalist Blush' thing more regular if I manage to seek out some more offerings from the high street, as everyone loves budget - leave suggestions below if you have any...
BUFF NAILS
Thursday, 3 April 2014
As much as I adore routing through my endless choices of colours for my nails, sometimes, something simple and dainty is what I want to go for and I have finally found the perfect sheer, almost french pale pink.
The polish in question is Ciaté Amazing Gracie, and although it takes a good 3-4 coats to reach the preferred effect for me, one or two light coats also doesn't look bad either. Sometimes I think it is nice to still show a bit of your nails through the polish with ones like these. It is quite pale for polishes like this, but the I kind of like the stark milky pink look, and for Spring I think it'll look gorgeous too.
The simple 'undone but well done' approach seems to be growing on me and I think I'll be getting through the two mini bottles I have of this pretty quickly at this rate...
