As far back as I can remember i've always been drawn to pink and nude nail polishes. I think I have been influenced by my mum who is an advocate for 'classy nails'. She has a beautiful collection of nudes, greys and pinks which I have dipped into over the years. Also, as i'm a primary school teacher, I try to keep my nails reasonably simple (even though I don't necessarily have to). Maybelline nail polishes make up most of my collection but the Maybelline Color Show in Love This Sweater might just be my favourite. It's so classy and subtle on the nails and paired with a topcoat, doesn't chip for days.
Another Maybelline product I have been using is the oh so popular Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in Pink Gold. I tend to find that a huge amount of eyeshadow colours don't suit me but a light sweep of this product adds a pop of colour to my eyes without making them look dirty and tired (anyone else know what I mean my dirty?). It lasts well and is a great eyeshadow to apply quickly if you're in a rush.
Recently I have been experimenting with makeup brushes and have fallen in love with the Real Techniques Stippling Brush. I'm always after a way to create that 'no makeup, makeup look' and this brush allows me to create a light, smooth base. The dual-fibre bristles are so soft and pick up the product well. For the past month or so I have been swapping between this brush and the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. They're both amazing.
I bought the Sleek Blush by 3 pallet after seeing a lot of other beauty bloggers/vloggers review it. Most blushers seem to suit me (or at least I think they do!) so a purchasing a pallet instead of more individual blushers seemed to make sense. I've been using the cream blush a lot as I try not to use too many powder products (stupid dry skin) and so far i've been very happy. From the two powder options I much prefer the shade 'Icing Sugar' as 'Pink Mint' is just a bit too dark for me. Perhaps it will be more appropriate in summer when I have a tan (wishful thinking Jen).
As I've already said, i'm a complete nudest when it comes to lips. I've been branching out a bit recently and have particularly enjoyed exploring Revlon lip products. The Revlon Colourburst Lacquer Balm in Demure Reservee is a beautiful lip lacquer that gives your lips just the right amount of colour and shimmer. The Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Sky Line Pink is from their pearl collection and has a creamy consistency which is very hydrating on the lips. The colour isn't as pigmented but that works for me and my fear of intense colour. Its a lovely lipstick to throw on and not worry about colour fading, texture or smudging. Just my cup of tea.
