Dainty Doll Blush - My Girl 002



A while back I ordered some stuff from Cara Pharmacy and this blush was one of the items. I thought the colour was gorgeous and I needed a new 'everyday' blusher because my MAC Mineralize one in Dainty had run out. I had literally scraped the last bit from the edge of the empty pan.

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer Review/Swatches


I love my bronzer. Being pale (I'm talking milk bottle, vampire pale) it's one of my must have products. 
Adding just a little in the hollows of your cheeks, up to your temples and down the sides of your nose just adds a little bit of colour to your skin. Without it, my face looks dull and sickly. 

Saying that, I don't want to spend a fortune on a bronzer either. Its hard to find a cheap bronzer that doesn't make you look like an oompa loompa. 
That is, until this baby fell into my hands.


I'm not a huge fan of the packaging. It definitely screams 'CHEAP!' I understand you get what you pay for but I do wish the packaging was a little nicer. It does the job though so that's all that matters I guess!


I do like the indented sun image inside! I don't know I'm a sucker for details like that. Also I love that it has a mirror for touch ups! What the heck is up with the puff though? Unless you want to rub bronzer all over your face its pretty useless.


Onto the actual bronzer. I like that its a muted brown, not too pigmented so you don't have to worry about applying too much and looking crazy!
Overall for the price it's a good product that does its job! 

Which brand/product is your go to bronzer?

Essence Twilight Saga Blush 'Renesmee Red'

This colour looks scarily red. You may think 'ahh c'mon Emma I'd look like a clown'.
I thought the same!
I actually LOVE this blush!

Smashbox Blush Rush in Radiance aka HOLY CRAP IT'S HOT PINK


I for one am a huge blusher girl. I wear it every single day and can't NOT wear it. 
I think without it my face looks flat, sickly and dull. 
It immediately brightens up your face and adds a bit of colour to your cheeks.
Every time I visited my local Smashbox counter I admired this particular blush but never considered buying it as it was so bright but I still thought it was gorgeous.




 While buying a Smashbox foundation (review here btw) the lovely lady at the counter decided to go ahead and give me a mini makeover with a lot of other products (in the end I bought most of them!) including this blush. When I saw her pick it up I nearly ran out the door but once she showed me in the mirror I was impressed!
