Nars Orgasm Blusher


      Oops! this was only on my wish list for a week and I already caved in a bought it! I do have a good reason though, ASOS had money off and then I got 10% discount with my friends student discount :) I do think it was a worthwhile buy. 
      The colour Orgasm is a pop of soft pink, with the prettiest gold shimmer throughout it. It is a medium buildable colour with high shine finish. I am very pale at the moment (NC15!!!) and the blush looks so soft and pretty on, however when i'm at my normal colour (NC27/30) it will look amazing as a 'summer skin' blush!
      I own ALOT of MAC blushes and have to say I'm very happy with this choice as I don't own anything in a similar shade. MAC blusher comparison; Springsheen is more coral, Peachykeen isn't as coral and its is more pinky than Style. The colour pay off is just right, I prefer more pearlised or satin finish blusher as you can build them a lot easier than matte or powder blushes. 
      I also like the sleek black packaging. Having it as a mirrored compact is also great for when I carry my blushes with me for a afternoon touch up! And price wise, its defiantly worth it.

Tom Ford Lip Colour Review


                                



      So it was a while back now where I first bought myself a Tom Ford lipstick. At £36 I made sure I scrutinised the whole collection before I picked my colour. I eventually fell in love with  '01 Spanish Pink', a soft dusky pink, with a rich colour pay off and a medium glossy finish. I couldn't wait to get home and have a play with it. So after a trial and test heres my outcomes...
      The wear of the lipstick lasted around 4/5 hours with most of the gloss gone by the time I had the chance to reapply. The colour however was a strong payoff, which I love, I hate when you get the lipstick you love and the colours too sheer. I think you always feel a little more special when wearing more high-end cosmetics, I defiantly did when wearing this, however price and quality of the lipstick as much as I LOVE it, I wouldn't necessarily say its 'better' than lipstick from say MAC or Illamasqua etc. 

01 Spanish Pink.


      And then..... I couldn't help myself when passing the cosmetics hall the other day and  ended up pick up another Tom Ford Lipstick! Naughty I know :s but the colour is just so beautiful. It hasn't swatched great but its a lot more soft than as brown as the swatch looks. 
      My ratings are pretty much the same as 'Spanish Pink' however the counter was unmanned so I couldn't ask anyone if the texture was the same as the previous, to what I presume though, it is. Also on this image you can see the Tom Ford sign printed into the top of the lipstick, unfortunately as the previous image shows, it does not run continuously through the lipstick, which would be nice :)

All New And Shiny...



      Hi! well this is something i'm completely alien to. I don't creatively write, I don't keep a diary, I don't really read (except for other internet bloggers posts) but I am cosmetics and fashion obsessed and this is an idea i've toyed with for a long time but never really had the guts to do anything about it. So here I am giving it a go...eeekkk!


      Little did I know the 'blogging' part was going to be the easier part, working out how to get the blogs layout something other than a blank page is something your going to have to bear with me for a while.

Fingers crossed I don't give up...

XOXO
