Sugar & Spice | Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush And Contour Palette

I've never owned a blush palette before and I actually got this for my mum for Mother's day but she let me review it as she's so impressed with Makeup Revolution's Ultra Blush Palette - £6 that is perfect for highlighting and contouring too! I always love Makeup Revolution palettes as they're so cheap and high quality. The mirrored compact is always great for touch ups during the day too!

Sugar and Spice blush palette has eight beautiful shades that consist of matte and shimmery blushers, merged baked blusher and highlighter. Some of the blushers are popping pink and others are more muted which are perfect for contouring. I especially love the merged baked blush as it's so unique and kind of reminds me of Max Factor's new cream puff blushers. All shades are extremely pigmented - even the highlighter! They are so easy to blend and you can build it up if you want it really extreme. This really is the perfect contouring, blush and highligting palette and it only cost £6! This palette would make the perfect pop of colour for the spring and summer too.

I would definitely recommend this palette to all the highlighting and contouring junkies out there. The blushers are the perfect colours and look so beautiful once applied. They are so long lasting and pigmented. There is a shade for everyone in this palette and I think it would suit every skin tone. This is the first blush palette I've tried but I can tell I won't be searching for another one anytime soon.

Yves Rocher | Sérum Végétal Day And Night Cream Review

The star ingredient in these exclusive new facial serums is the super powerful mesembryanthemum crystallinum - otherwise known as the crystalline ice, or life plant!

When we received and e-mail to review Yves Rocher's new Serum Vegetal day and night creams, we jumped at the chance. To me, skin care is very important as I like to keep my skin moisterised and healthy so I couldn't wait to try out the smoothing day and night creams that targets wrinkles and enhances the skins natural radiance. It might sound weird that I'm using anti-wrinkle cream at 18 but it's better to prevent wrinkles, right?!

"Yves Rocher is France's no. 1 selling make-up and skincare brand, sold in 88 countries worldwide and used by 30 million women everyday." 

We've both never used Yves Rocher before so we did have high expectations. Our samples came in a this little white bag which is perfect for keeping in the bathroom or anywhere you want. 

The Smoothing Day Cream - Wrinkles & Radiance - £21* comes in a sturdy jar with a lot of product. The consistency of this cream is absolutely amazing! It's not heavy at all and really light and not sticky at all. We both have oily to combination skin so we were quite worried that this cream might irritate our skin but I think using this actually reduced oil and made my skin feel a lot more calmer and matte throughout the day! This day cream also makes the perfect base for makeup. I've only been using smoothing day cream for a few day and I can already say I'm more than in love with it. I can't say that it reduces wrinkles but it definitely makes my skin feel so smooth and hydrated. I would recommend this cream to everyone as already my skin has improved 100%!

The Smoothing Night Cream - Wrinkles & Radiance - £21* comes in the exact same packaging as the day cream. The consistency is a different to the day cream as this one is rich, thick and creamy. I could tell straight away that this was going to very moisterising which is what everyone wants in a good night cream. The cream absorbed into my skin straight away and it didn't feel heavy or sticky in the slightest. When I woke up, my skin looked like it had been transformed! I'm not joking when I say that the benefits of using the Yves Rocher creams are just amazing. Most night creams just feel like they're not benefiting my skin but this one is just amazing and does everything that you want and need a night cream to do.

PROS for both Smoothing Day & Night Creams:

• Non-greasy
• Moisterising
• Hydrating
• Doesn't irritate even sensitive skin
• Smoothes
• Only need a little bit so a little goes a long way
• Natural ingredients 

CONS  for both Smoothing Day & Night Creams:

• It's quite expensive

Yves Rocher Serum Vegetal Day and Night Cream are pretty amazing! I'm actually disappointed in myself for not trying Yves Rocher products sooner. I feel so much better about my complexion since using the day and night creams. My skin feels moiserised, hydrated, smoother and it's a bonus knowing I'm preventing wrinkles too, haha. I would recommed these two creams to everyone as you won't look back. I can't see myself buying another skincare products from another brand for a long time. They might be expensive but you're certainly getting your moneys worth!

Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Gorgeous Berries | Swatches & Review

The creme puff blushes are Max Factor's latest offerings and I just needed to get my hands on at least one of the blushes. When I saw 'Gorgeous Berries' I immediatly fell in love. There are six other shades in the range and 'Gorgeous Berries' is the most extreme blush out of the six. It's a beautiful pink but in other lights it looks a berry colour. I just couldn't wait to try it!

I've never tried a creme puff blusher before so I was intrested to see how this worked. I love cream blushes but as you can see this isn't a cream blush. This blush just feels so soft and velvety. I knew I didn't need much as it's so pigmented so a little really does go a long way. You can either wear this as a subtle blush or really extreme. I don't think the picture of the blusher on my face does it any justice as it's such a lovely pop of pink. It's so pigmented and lasts all day. At £8.99, the blushers are quite expensive but I've never tried a blusher like this one before so I will probably be tempted to buy more!
