Maybelline Blushed Nudes Palette

Hey guys,

For my birthday I was given the Maybelline Blushed Nudes Palette which I am absolutely in love with!!

As you can see this palette provides you with 12 shades that include a mixture of matte and shimmery colours. From this palette you can create many many looks, such as a blush pink, smokey pink, coral pink, smokey purple etc etc.

On the back of the packaging, you are given a sheet of suggested colour combinations that range from paired shades, to four different shades grouped together to create the perfect blushed eyeshadow looks!

(The suggested combinations are shown above)

The actual palette itself is actually quite small and compact, which makes it ideal for travelling and going on holiday. However, I wouldn't say this palette gives you a complete range of shades, as there are only 1 or 2 matte shades. This is what I didn't like about the palette.

Although there is great pigmentation with this palette, and a little bit of product goes a long way!

The cost of this palette is £9.99, which is good for a drugstore palette. Although, this is also probably the reason for the products "fall out" (the amount of eyeshadow that falls off your eyelid onto your face), but that problem can always be fixed with a little concealer.

This palette is perfect for any season as you get a variety of blush shades like pink, champagne, taupe and so on.

I would certainly recommend this product as it is relatively cheap and provides you with a good variety of blush shades (although they are mostly shimmery).

Max Factor Miracle Touch Foundation

Hi guys,

Today I'm going to talk about a foundation that I have begun using. This foundation is unusual for me because it comes in a compact; rather than in a bottle or tube.

This product is described as a "unique and lightweight solid to liquid formula", which is good as you can get a light as well as a high coverage from this foundation; without it looking "cakey".

The formula is really nice and gives you the perfect base for your makeup - without any hassle. You just sweep the foundation across your face and blend it in gently. Although, it does give you a rather dewy finish, so if you prefer a matte look then this probably isn't for you. I would also recommend that you used extra powder anyway, as this foundation can look slightly greasy after a while.

Furthermore, the product states that it "removes the need for the application of concealer", which I have found to be true. Which could actually save you money on a concealer! Although if you like to use a concealer for highlighting purposes then I would recommend that you bought a separate product for that.

Like I said before, the packaging is quite unusual for a foundation, but with it being in compact form means that this is a good foundation to take on the go with you.

The price of this product is £6.99, making it on the pricier side of drugstore foundations, although I would definitely say that this product is worth buying. As this foundation will give you a fresh, flawless and smooth finish!
