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 :)

A Simple FOTD

There's a first time for everything, and today I'm sharing my first Face of the Day with you all. I had a presentation to do at uni today and then a nice late lunch with my future flatmates (plus our friend Dominic) so I made a bit of an effort hair-wise ('a bit of an effort' = putting it in a bun and letting it dry so it goes wavy). Speaking of hair, mine appears to have given itself a bit of an ombre effect, as the tips are much more red in colour than my roots these days, and I don't dye my hair at all.

Products used:

YSL Le Teint Touche Eclait foundation in BD40

YSL Touche Eclait in 1

Revlon bronzer in Sunkissed Bronze' 

Maybelline Dream Touch blush in 'Berry'

Mac powder (I genuinely can't remember, it could be a Select one...)

Mac 'Omega' eyeshadow (used on eyebrows)

Benefit 'They're Real' mascara

Max Factor Lipfinity in 'Iced'

Have you tried any of my FOTD products? Let me know in the comments below!
