Hi Guys,

For this week's post I've decided to do a review of Charlotte Tilbury 'From Cheek to Chic' blusher, which is one of my most recent purchases and my first from this brand. Well, I say purchases, but I got it bought for me as as a birthday gift, even though my birthday isn't until August! (Lucky me!) Just picture me with puppy dog eyes!

Ever since Charlotte Tilbury concession hit Selfridges in Birmingham, I was drawn to the brand. I like Charlotte's unique approach of creating complete makeup looks and laying out all the products used for you to buy. It's especially great for people who may not know how to pull a look together themselves. Plus, her packaging is flawless and so pretty! The gold really adds a touch of luxe and makes the products so easily identifiable as Charlotte Tilbury.

The blusher is also described as 'Swish and Pop' with the idea being you swish your blusher brush around the outside and apply to the cheek bone, and then pop it into the middle section and apply to the apples of your cheeks.

It is a bit pricey at £30, however the quality is clear and my experience is that you generally do get what you pay for when it comes to makeup. It is very pigmented so I can imagine it will last you a very long time before you have to repurchase and blends nicely onto the skin. The blusher lasted me most of the day before I decided to reapply in the evening.



Overall, a great product, and as my first product from the brand, really has me sold. Eek, is this the start of another love affair? Anyway I would definitely recommend!

Have you bought anything from the Charlotte Tilbury range? Were you impressed?

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a great week?

 This week I thought I would review the Makeup revolution 'The ONE' highlight contour and sculpt contour sticks. Firstly, can I just say how much I love Makeup Revolution! I own a lot of their products as they are such good value for money. I could not live without their eyeshadow palettes! I have had these sticks for a while and have used them now and again. I bought them direct from the Makeup Revolution London website and at the time they were on offer so I got them both for £6! However they are back to full price now which is £5 each (still not bad).

Highlight and Sculpt

Starting with the Sculpt contour, I have to admit that I have only used it once. That's because I find the colour too orangey brown. I like to use more of a dirty brown when I contour, as it gives the effect of a natural shadow. However when orangey brown colours are used, the contour can look quite obvious, which is not a good look as far as I'm concerned. Aside from the colour, the pigment and consistency is quite nice. It is designed to use straight from stick to face however when contouring smaller areas, like the nose, you may need to use a brush, as the stick is quite wide.
