Bobbi Brown Lip Colour in Sandwash Pink | Bobbi Brown Lip Pencil in Ballet Pink | NARS Blush Duo in Hot Sand/Orgasm
After looking back on my early teenage years and realising I spent most of my time in bright blue and green eyeshadow, I have since been scarred to try out different colours in the fear I will repeat my earlier mistakes. In more recent years I have held tightly onto my liquid eye liner and ventured occasionally over to a subtle gold shimmer (I'm sure many of you can relate). But, after watching endless make up tutorials and witnessing that colourful eye shadows are not always a reminder of high school disasters, I decided it was time to change up my routine.
I have recently bought one of NARS' most iconic and daringly named product - 'Orgasm' - a beautiful pink blusher which has a gold, almost iridescent, finish (which for only £6 extra came in a compact duo with the highlighter 'Hot Sand'- definitely worth it!!) This compact duo along with Bobbi Brown's Lip Colour in 'Sandwash Pink' (worn by the Duchess of Cambridge on her wedding day!!!) have quickly became my favourite products - and they also happen to be in this seasons IT colour. They are an ideal pairing for your everyday make up look. AND if it's good enough for Kate, it's certainly good enough for me. As well as a blusher, 'Orgasm' doubles up as the perfect pink eyeshadow and, applied with eye primer, will last all day and night. To apply I used a mixture of Real Techniques and MAC brushes and finished it off with a setting spray from NYX (I will definitely be blogging about this soon).
Tip: By adding a little blush and highlighter to your everyday make up creates a warmer, softer skin tone.
