REVIEW - Accessorize Baked Blush - Sensation

Hullo Ladies!

I've wanted some makeup from Accessorize for a while now, the packaging always drags me in but I've always held out until now. About two weeks ago I finally picked up a baked blush from them and I'm so glad I did. 

*Yep...that is a teddy bear holding a blush between it's legs ;-)* 

After swatching all the blushes in the stand I picked Sensation. 

A gorgeous pink with gold shimmer. 

I love the marbled effect. It just makes it look so much more interesting!

The amount of shimmer that runs through this blush makes it into a highlight also. 

A few months ago when the MUA Undress Your Skin range came out I picked up the highlighter thinking it was the inexpensive highlighter I'd been looking for but If you read my review then you'd know that I didn't get on with it as the shimmers were too big and you could really tell that I had highlighter on my cheek instead of a natural looking glow. 

I'm happy to say I've found that inexpensive highlighter I was looking for.....It's this! 

Yes it's a blush and it does indeed have a lovely pink colour  but it contains so much fine shimmer that it gives a lovely glow to the cheeks! 

I'm in LOVE!

I love the packaging, the product and the PRICE!

I paid under £5 for it, not sure exactly as I'm sure it was on sale....maybe paid £3.50 for it!

Have you tried these Accessorize Baked Blushes? 

I really want to try the Lip Tints they have out..they look great on the Superdrug website :-)

Weekend Shopping Haul : Superdrug, Debenhams & H+M

Hullo Ladies!

I went shopping with a friend yesterday to Cardiff, I haven't been there in about a year so it was very much needed. 

I knew going that I wanted certain things. 

I'm glad to say I stuck to what I already knew I needed instead of buying loads of impulse buys...although I did have a moment ;-)

First of all we stopped in H+M, I was instantly attracted to the cosmetics and fragrance stand and found these blending sponges. I've wanted one of these for a long time now after hearing so many good things about them and I didn't want to pay for an expensive one. I was lucky to find these at just £1.99 each. So I picked up two! 

We also went to Superdrug and I bought one of the Accessorize Baked Blushes in Sensation. I remember swatching these a long time ago and they looked stunning. Packed full of so much fine shimmer they could pass for highlighters easily! Which is how I used it today ;-) I'm in love!

I've also been dying for some more matte lipsticks and have heard lots of lovely things about the Sleek Matte Lipsticks. I bought Papaya Punch and Heartbreaker. These seem to be lovely lipsticks for just £4.99

Another product I've been wanting for a long time now is the Sleek Blush By 3 Palettes. I picked up Lace and I'm so glad. I'll be reviewing it soon   :-) 

Last but definitely not least was my only impulse buy and It's a Illamasqua Mystery Box from Debenhams. Down to just £17.50 I knew I had to own it. I'll be writing a post soon on what I actually received in my box. 

Hope you have all been having a great weekend. I'm going to be spending the rest of mine curled up with a good book!
