Worth Hunting Down: Maybelline Dream Touch Blush

What? -  Maybelline Dream Touch Blush
Shades? - 02 Peach, 06 Berry, 07 Plum, 08 Apricot
Price? - £6.49 for 63 grams
Where? - Boots or Superdrug

I couldn't do a series on products worth getting your hands on without including my ultimate surprise holy grail product. I first purchased one of these on a whim because I struggle with powder blushes staying put, then was impressed with the formula so went back for a second shade. Ironically now, the first shade I bought (Berry) is pretty unloved, but the second shade (Peach) is now the product I consciously reach for the most. 

I love this product and I think it's fantastic value for money. The tiniest amount goes such a long way and they are highly pigmented. If we combine this with their availability, it's a win-win.

Have you tried these blushes? What's your holy grail blush? Let me know in the comments below!

It's All Peachy

A few weeks ago I mentioned the Maybelline Dream Touch Blush in Berry. Well today I'm sharing a second shade from the series with you, Peach. I initially assumed this was way too light for my complexion, but in actual fact I feel it suits me quite well and for a drugstore product, I really can't rave about it enough. 

It's a super pigmented cross between a mousse and a cream blush. I had initial reservations because we all know Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse is never going to win an award for being a wonderful foundation, and I feared this would head the same way. Thankfully, not only is it super pigmented, but it's also super easy to apply and incredibly long lasting on the skin. I really struggle to find powder blushes that will stay put, but this really does last from morning to night and it has become such a staple item for me during my hectic university days. 

What are your thoughts? Have you tried the Dream Touch blushes? Let me know in the comments below :)

January Favourites!

So January has been and gone and we're now firmly into the month of February (cue Josh Groban's 'February Song' playing over the top of this post), but even though it's a little late I thought I'd put up some of my January favourites.

Philosophy 'Luscious Lime' shower gel

I bought this in the sale just after Christmas in Debenhams and I've been loving it when I'm feeling tired and need refreshing on an evening. It also smells exactly like lime jelly, which is a major win for my inner child.

Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine

I've posted about the Korres Lip Butters before and I have to say I've recently fallen for the brand big time. I think this is probably the perfect lip butter for my lips and it's really been helping with my dry, chapped winter time lip problems. It also smells divine, which is always a bonus.

L'Occitane Cocoa Flower and Desert Rose Hand Creams

These are unlinked (btw, the Philosophy shower gel is linked, the colour won't shop up as blue though) as they were limited edition and no longer on the L'Occitane website. I bought them in the sale just after Christmas and I adore them both. L'Occitane hand creams are my favourites anyway, so this could have included a few more scents. 

NYX Powder Blush in Pinched

I never used to be a blush kind of a girl, I actually used to hate it and only wore it on very rare occasions. I bought this recently and have fallen in love with it. It's not too pink, and it has coral/orange undertones that I love. I've also heard it's a dupe for that Nars blush.

I had many more January favourites, but these are just a few of them. Have you tried any of these products? Let me know what you think in the comments below :)
