Summer makeup for me is all about the glow. No, not the J-Lo perfume I wore when I was like 15 (lol), I'm thinking shimmery bronzed skin and dewy metallic cheeks. Beach and cocktails not mandatory but preferred.
For a healthy glow, cream blush is often the best but my oily skin is fussy and prefers a powder. So powder bronzer/highlighters trial it is then!

MAC Skinfinish Dupe From The Beauty Aisle At Tesco
Today's review has generated a lot of questions from my Instagram and Facebook followers. Mainly, ZOE, WHAT IS THIS and WHERE DID YOU GET IT FROM?
Seasoned beauty fiends out there are probably laughing to themselves at the ignorance of it all - it's CLEARLY an Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. These Naked Palettes have been flying off shelves for months now, ready to cover the nearest eyelids with glorious, glorious rose-toned bronze.
But is it a Naked 3? Look closely.... You doubt yourselves now, don't you?
Well, what if I told you, it will cost you exactly £3.63 to purchase today.
Yahh, it's definitely NOT by Urban Decay then...
The Story.

T-Mart Generation 3 Eyeshadow Palette - a Naked 3 dupe under £5!
For the grand occasion that is PAY-DAY, I have been looking to splash out on some expensive, fine powder to accompany my pay day night out-out.. No, no City-boy references here, I'm clearly talking about the high-inducing addiction which is a NARS Blush.
But which shade? I had set my mind on the classic Orgasm blush- a dusky pink powder shot through with gold shimmer. Yes, come March 31st, I was going to buy it and cherish it forever! That is, until last weekend, when my plans changed..
I was shopping in Superdrug, buying nothing exciting, cotton pads, toner and the like. (seriously, I get through so much cotton, it's ridiculous) Naturally, like a moth to the beautiful, beautiful flame, I was drawn towards the makeup stands.
Browsing the Sleek stand, I was shocked when I saw the Orgasm blush staring right back at me. Oh yes, dear Face Value Friends. I've think I've found a dupe...
This is the Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Lace. A beautiful, slimline compact with three finely milled blushes inside, these coral-pink shades are as beautiful on the skin as they are on the pan. Really high intensity colors, and a good mix of shimmer and matte shades.

Sleek Blush By 3 Palette - a NARS blush dupe?
So I'm a huge fan of Primark (who isn't?!) and I have found some absolute GEMS in there previously. You know - the kind of gems where everyone says "omgg where did you get that? Topshop? Urban Outfitters?" and you smugly reply "Primark actually!" I love it when that happens, don't you?
Anyway, one day I was dragging my overflowing basket round the beauty bit and I saw this little wonder. Primark perfume? I was dead certain it was either going to smell sickly sweet or ,a la Mean Girls, "like a baby prostitute".
But hey, I was in the market for a fragrance so I gave it a chance. One quick spray with the tester on my wrist and BOOOOOOM!
Just when I thought Primark couldn't surprise me anymore.....
This Primark Polka perfume is genuinely, really lovely. As soon as I smelt it, I was so surprised I even said "wow, that's ACTUALLY really nice!!
(Unfortunately a shop assistant heard me which was friggin mortifying, but she said that she'd heard that loadsa times before and people are constantly surprised once they try it. Phew, Zoe Dubs out of trouble!!)
But does it smell like a baby prostitute?
