I’m slightly cursing this beautiful blush – no matter what light I try and photograph it in, it somehow looks less impressive than it really is. I use natural light and tend to just go with what I’ve got because it’s my kitchen and I can’t imagine fighting my way to the sink through light rigging. Anyway, as you can see, one side is a pop of bubblegum-ish pink, while the other is a pink toned cream/white highlighting shade.
If you’re pale toned, then it’s definitely for you – just the right delicate pop of colour to lift your tone without going too far, and the highlight is pitched at just the right off-white shade to give light without glare. The little puff applicator that comes with it isn’t the best thing to use to apply… fine in an emergency but you’re much better off with a fluffy brush. It won’t matter if you pick up a little highlighter at the same time because it’s subtle. It also feels very premium, if that’s a factor that’s important, plus it has such a lovely parma violet scent that catches on the brush so you get a waft of that too. It’s pricy at £36 but Escentual has 20% off everything for a limited time so I’m linking HERE.

Hi Jane,
I realise this is a bit random but I’ve got £60 to spend on beauty and need some inspiration! Are there any standout products you can think of off the top of your head?
Make up or skin care? Or a bit of both?
Makeup would be better, probably- I’ve got some skin sensitivity at the moment so have stripped skincare back to the bare bones! (Cerave, after your glowing review a while back..)
Okay, so I love the new Guerlain lipsticks – they’re so beautiful and bright and the casings are a joy. Any of the Marc Jacobs eye palettes are fabulous – I’m a huge fan – the Dior Pump n Volume Mascara is a treat, as is the Guerlain So Volume Mascara. Escentuals has 20% off everything til end of month so you can stretch your budget a bit. They also stock Avene which is great for sensitive skin. xx
Brilliant! What a wonderful selection of things to choose from- I think I’ll go with both a marc jacobs eye palette AND a guerlain lipstick considering I don’t own either. Thank you, you’re an everyday hero
Hope you enjoy!
Oh wow what a gorgeous two tone blush!
