one of the best blushes from 2015 Essence Blush up Heat wave

Hi guys! I seem to be on a roll finally with my blog posts as of late! so that's exciting! I'm getting excited about beauty products again. So this one is a thrill to me, I was late on the bandwagon of actually getting these blushes and got them when Essence had a clearance sale on them, so I fear they may be being discontinued. I have no idea why, or what's happened to the usual Jess, however I've become a huge sucker for blush! especially if they are as pretty as this one!

 Essence I believe is being unique in the drugstore world because not many companies that aren't high end have brought out ombre products such as these. I feel they did a really nice job on getting the colours right for each other, colour placement is important in an ombre! There are two different colours in this blush, that fade into each other really well. A true orange, and a very vibrant pink, so I find these blushes really good value.

I haven't had any issues with this blush, its extremely smooth, pigmented, and blends out super well, and best of all it doesn't feel chalky. I find the staying power of this blush lasts most of the day, and looks really sweet on my fair complexion. I only dab a little on, because I don't want to look clownish!

have you used these blushes yet? I do have the pink one and love it too! let me know your favourite blush of 2015.

Blush favourites!

the perfect blush for pale skinned girls Face of Australia in nutmeg

Hello lovelies, today has been such a sunshining Spring day! I've taken a liking to a blush and I'm here to tell you about it. Nutmeg by Face of Australia, an Australian iconic brand, I do love how this peachy bronze colour goes pretty much well with anything. Great for fair skin girls like me!

This colour I have literally fallen in love with, its a warm toned peach with a slight bronze undertone to it. It's non powdery, super long lasting, it lasted on my skin for approx 7 hours without having to touch up. And it was a warm day as well so I'm happy it didn't melt off.

The shades are all quite different in this range however this one is my favourite, its the most pigmented and natural looking on the skin, leaving a luminous sheen. Quite flattering and gives the right amount of warmth. You get quite a big pan too for $10 which is a great price for a drugstore blush.

This swatch was taken using natural lighting and is unedited except for being cropped, no other altering. I've really been loving this shade and really recommend it to the fair skinned gals out there.

Have you tried any foa blushes as of late? suggest any for me to try? comment below!
hugs Jess
