Ross & Rachel

Ah friends. One of the best television shows for many reasons, one of them being the ability to watch any episode for the millionth time and no get sick of it. Another, is the infamous relationship between Ross and Rachel. Let's be real, they were my OTP from the get-go {He is her lobster for seafood sake?!}. Too Faced released two blushing bronzers, with the other couple being Carrie & Big from SITC. While the blush shade in Carrie & Big is a beautiful peachy shade, my heart belongs to the pinks which coincidentally happened to be Ross & Rachel. yay tho.

Firstly, this product was so difficult to track down. I went to the only Mecca Maxima in my city to find it and they didn't have any on their display. I hung my head and went to fill my heart with their new love heart blushes, opened the draw. LO AND BEHOLD. There it was, wait for me to buy it. So I did. This product is a limited edition item according to Mecca however, is still available on the site and the Too Faced Website - under bronzers.

The packaging is super cute with a flashy design of increasing hearts. Literally my first thought when I opened it was "Holy-crackamole?!". 1) Generous mirror! 2)The blush to bronzer ratio is kinda heartbraking as I'm more of a blush kinda gal, but I'll go with it Too Faced. For Rachel and Ross.

The deep bronzer portion of the blush leans quite orange which to be honest, scared me at the beginning {and secretly now too}. All I can say is that you definitely have to use a light hand with this product as it can take you to an oompla-loompa level in an instant if you aren't careful. However, I do think that the golden sheen to it will make me look like a bronzed goddess in the summertime. I CAN DREAM RIGHT?!

The thing that I love most about this bronzer/blush hybrid is that they both blend out seamlessly on the face. I'll admit when the blush and the bronzer are worn together, it can look a little too much. I'll keep it real. But I work around it and use the slightest amount of bronzer on a fluffy brush and go to town on blending it on the outer parts of my face. Then I apply the blush on the apples of my cheeks with a small brush because LOOK at how small that pink heart is. I really do not think I can get over the fact that the blush is so small.

We all know that Too Faced just have their bronzers down-pat and this one is no exception. Yes it was an impulse buy {packaging THO!}. But the product itself is pretty dreamy and I just can't wait to get more use out of it in the summer time!

Who is your favourite OTP from any TV show?
Mine is definitely Brooke and Lucas from One Tree Hill! FO SHO.

Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush

Do you ever have those moments in the store where you just spontaneously buy something just for the heck of it? This was one of these moments. I went to a Priceline that I never go to and saw the Physicians Formula display and saw the cuteness and was drawn in. I have mentioned the Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush {what an absolute mouthful} before on my blog and I wanted to give my review about it before I forgot about it completely.

The packaging does feel a little cheap and plasticky but the blush does feel secure underneath the clear plastic lid. The blush comes with it's own benefit-esque brush which has it's own compartment underneath the blush making the whole product unnecessarily bulky but hey, can't really slay them for having helpful intentions.

The blush itself has an array of different tones, shaped into little hearts which you swirl together to create a very natural look. This blush is very thin and is sheer even with a heavy hand, which might not necessarily be a bad thing for those who prefer a simple but not over the top flush to the face. In the pan the blush consists of glitter but it's so finely milled that it doesn't look like a disco ball on your face, it definitely has a more of a satin-type finish. I do find this blush a little hard to blend out so I would recommend using a fluffy brush to get rid of any lines left over on the cheeks.

I do like this like blush as it gives me a decent glow to the face, as far as making me happy? I don't know.. The hearts make me happy does that count? I'll use it because I have it but I don't think it's worth it for people who are blushaholics and know what they like and want from a good quality blush.

Have you tried Physicians Formula blushes before?

NARS Limited Edition Blush: Final Cut

Whilst in Melbourne I took a not so quick visit to Mecca Maxima and was on the hunt for another NARS blush. I had no idea where to start because I'm terrible at picking shades so I asked one of the ladies to help me out. She took me over to a display which had some new products from NARS called the Final Cut Collection which had some beautiful shades of pink in both blushes and lip crayons.

I picked up the blush called "Final Cut" and it's a matte peachy-coral colour which is something that I don't really lean towards when choosing a blush, I'm more of a pink gal but hey I wanted to try something new and not get something similar to what I already own. At first I wasn't sure about the colour but then the lady at Mecca Maxima tried a little on my face and I instantly loved it. It's very sheer compared to other NARS blushes which I love because it gives a flushed look to the face and it is very build-able. I've never owned a matte blush and I like it so far because I find it more natural looking than blushes that have shimmer in it.

I really like the colour of this blush and I tend to wear it more with a red lip because they compliment each other so well. The Final Cut Blush Collection has four beautiful shades and they are available online at Mecca Cosmetica.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the Final Cut Collection
