I have been lusting after the Illamasqua Blush Up Brush for a good while now, and my darling husband bought it me as a birthday present (and let me have it early) so I am just sharing my thoughts with you guys.
Maybelline Baby Lips, I know every blogger has gone nuts over these, but you can understand why...
Firstly it is reasonably priced at £2.99 (link) with a hint of colour, delicious fruity smell, super hydrating and 20 SPF protection
(I know summer is almost over, but you always need SPF protection) what's not to love?

In 2013 we have seen some fantastic launches from Bourjois, and this next one is probably my favourite to date.
To celebrate their 150 anniversary they have reinvented Java Rice Powder which is a cult classic and their first international best seller from 1879.
I love to add to my brush collection and I really like to pick up a bargain, Check out these beauties. I purchased them from Ebay and they took 3 weeks to arrive, but with free delivery you cannot complain! and I could not be more pleased with the quality of them.
Tarte have been on my radar for a while now, their arrival to my Muji storage has been delayed due to the fact that they are not available to purchase in the UK.(which is a crying shame)
Following some recent Ebay sales I decided to give in and purchase one of their blushers with some of my earnings. I will start by saying.... Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush were have you been all my life?
My skincare routine updated! With best results to date! I do not take credit for this routine, its based on information I have read, I have been complimented loads of late so thought I would share the skincare related love...
I was sent a sample of this cream and from the very first time I used it, I knew it had to be mine! I could not make up my mind if I should have the oil / oil free version. So I emailed Origins to ask their advice, a very helpful lady emailed me back to say that as it is a night cream it is nice to have something a little richer, but that either cream is suitable and it is more a matter of a personal preference.
I used to be all about eyeshadow when I first started wearing makeup, but now I am crazy for blusher, you could say I am a bit of a fanatic, one of my favourite blushers is the Illamasqua duo's, what is so perfect about them is that they are matt, as I am no longer in my twenties I have grown out of the disco ball look, especially as glitter can be very unforgiving and empathise your pores. A matt finish looks more natural as if the colour is from within not just applied on top.
I am sure by now everyone have tried or uses Argan Oil and is aware of the many benefits, I usually use a more expensive brand, however I picked this one up in Primark for £2.50 and just had to tell you about it. The third ingredient on the list is Argan Oil, I have bought more expensive brands were it is listed in the same place, a added bonus is that it also contains Keratin Protein , JoJoba Oil and Vitamin E
I bought this product to receive the Renew Eye Cream, it is a liquid eyeshadow, in a small tube with a doe eye applicator. You have to remember to give it a good shake prior to use so that the pigment dissolves with the liquid. It is a quick way to acheive a pop of colour and I have been using it as a change to my usual neutral eye. It is handy to pop into your bag, it's reasonably pigmented and it does last all day.
I am, a bit of a skincare snob, however a friend recommended this eye cream so I thought I would give it a whirl, I purchased a liquid eyeshadow, which was £9.99 and obtained the cream and a mascara as a gift which was a very good deal.
After hearing rave reviews I just had to give this little number a go, I picked up shade 35 On and On Bronze, I would describe this colour as a metallic cool toned bronze. Metallic shades are very big this coming season!
