It is that time of year where brands bring out limited
edition products to support a very good cause. The cause I am talking about is
the Breast Cancer Care Foundation and their ribbon logo is well known across
the world. October is the main month where brands sell limited edition products
to raise funds for the foundation. This month is also about making people aware
of breast cancer and how to check for signs of any cancer within the breasts.
All the money raised in October will mean Breast Cancer Care can provide
nurses, local services and a support network for free to all those people who
need it.
Clinique is one of the main brands that support this
foundation by bringing out limited edition versions of their products. The main
one for 2015 is a limited edition cheek pop called Pink With a Purpose. Cheek
pops are one of Clinique’s best selling products this year and they wanted to
bring out a special one for this cause.
Pink With a Purpose cheek pop comes in the same packaging as
the standard cheek pop. The blush has an embossed berry ribbon
to show their support rather than the flower design. Cheek pops are usually silky, natural looking and this cheek pop should be no different. The colour of the blush is a berry pink which should look subtle and
natural when applied to the skin. The pictures show the blush as a bright pink but in reality it is a berry pink. You can build up the layers to create a more intense and bold blush
look to the skin.
Also when you buy this cheek pop, you will receive a
mini bright pink pouch that can be used to keep the blush secure when travelling or can be used as a coin purse if you need one urgently. The Pink With a Purpose cheek pop costs £17 but Clinique will donate £2 to breast cancer
for each one sold. This blush will be sold on their website, in boots,
Debenhams and House of Fraser for the month of October.
I definitely will be purchasing this cheek pop because it is
for a great cause and it looks like a great product.
The Pink with purpose cheek pop is out on the 8th October 2015.
Nars are releasing so many products recently, I'm finding it hard to keep up. They have just launched their limited edition final cut collection a few weeks ago, now they have just launched their spring collection. The next release is this cheek palette along with a 15 eyeshadow palette. So as you can see, they are really pumping out the beauty products at the moment which is a bad thing for my bank account.
The name of the cheek palette is unusual with a name like Narsissist and it contains three beautiful products. The first is Devotee which is a neutral beige highlighter and only available in certain palettes. Devotee was also in the one night stand palette from the Guy Bourdin collection which was released a few months ago. Next up is Orgasm which is the best selling blush for Nars.The last product in the palette is the famous Laguna bronzer. Also as a special bonus, when you buy the cheek palette, it comes with a mini blush brush.
For me, this seems very similar to the Sleek by three palettes which were released within the past year. The Sleek palette has also contain the highlighter, rose gold blush and their matte bronzer. However the Sleek palette only costs £10 or less which is a huge saving if you are thinking of purchasing the Nars palette.
Overall I think I will be buying this palette due to not owning orgasm and laguna and wanting to try smaller sizes of the product just incase I do not like them.The palette is out 1st February for £35 and can be found on the main Nars website.
Hiya everyone, so i did this eye make-up tutorial on youtube not so long ago, and i thought i might as well write one as a post as well with pictures. This eye make-up look is really easy to do and all you need is either the sleek Med palette or any purple, pink, blue and green eyeshadows. I used sigma brushes to apply the eyeshadows but you can use any brushes because they all do the same thing. All you need are the eyeshadows, brushes, primer and a mirror to complete this look.
Ok, so the first thing you need to do is too prime your eyelids. This will keep the eyeshadow on your eyelids all day and will make the colours pop. I used the Urban Decay primer potion in orginal. Then i took the sigma short shader brush and applied the purple all over my lids. The purple is called Lotus Flower.
After i applied Lotus flower. I then took a small brush (Unbranded) and took the Mid toned blue from the palette and applied it from the middle to the outer corner of my eyelids. The blue colour is called Humming Bird. Take any blending brush. I used the revlon contour brush and blended out any harsh lines between the purple and the blue colours.
Then take a Hot pink colour and apply this to the outer v and to the crease. Be sure not to go up to far from the outer v. I applied this Hot pink with the sigma E25 but you can use any blending brush you have. The hot pink is called Magenta Madness (Love the names of these eyeshadows).
Take another blending brush but it has to be a clean one. I took the Sigma E35 and applied a green colour into the crease next to the pink. The green is called Kiwi Zest. Take the same blending brush you used to blend the blue and the purple and blend the pink and green together. Then go over the whole eye to make sure their is no harsh lines.
Then take a white/cream colour eyeshadow and apply this under the brow bone. I used my fingers but you can use a brush if you wanted to.
Apply eyeliner and mascara to complete the eye make-up. Then i took the sigma F10 to apply the blush. I used a really hot pink blush from sleek called santorini and applied it to my cheeks. Then to complete the whole look, i used the pout polish by sleek called Monte Carlo which is also another hot pink colour.
It is pretty simple to do and you can use any type of eyeshadows, blush etc to complete your look. I hope i explained it alright, if not then i will leave a link on the video i did for this look on my youtube channel. I hope you found this useful and there will be plenty of more posts coming your way very soon.
