It's official. I am head over heels, truly, madly, deeply in love........ with a square box.  No, not the TV. No, not a box of Guylian truffles. Those are soooo pre-2014, dear reader. I'm talking about my new blusher by Lancome!

What happened? Well I hit the New Year sales armed with a Boots giftcard (always dangerous) and boy-oh-boy did I luck out or what? I stumbled across this beautiful Lancome Blush in Love blusher at the Lancome counter. 

Not only was it beautiful, it was Limited Edition AND half price AND I had a giftcard!! Is there any other better combination?



First things first, not to come across shallow, but I fell in love for good looks... I had to get this Lancome Blush In Love because it is BEAUTIFUL. Seriously stunning. A delicate print of spring roses in a triple-toned palette, the Lancome Blush In Love is designed for a fresh glow - an illuminating blush to wake up tired skin and hide any hint of a hangover... 

Let's zoom in...

Are you in love? Limited Edition Lancome Blush In Love in Peche Joue Joue

The morning-after-the-night-before is anything but pretty. Late nights and excessive merrymaking can be a challenge on even the most perfect skin and when you're half asleep and not feeling 100%, looking pretty can be.... tricky.

Even normally, sculpting your cheeks these days can be complicated. First you have to apply your colour, and then use highlighter across the cheekbones, and if you've really got some time - a darker blush in the hollows. Like I said, perfect cheeks can be complicated!

But of course, as with most complicated things, it's not long before the human race finds a simpler, easier way to do it and this No7 Instant Radiance Blush is a prime example of our modern evolution. Well done us.



Isn't it gorgeous? This is the Instant Radiance Blush palette from No7 and , believe me, it's more than just a pretty picture.

8 Hour Cream. Nars Orgasm Blush. Chanel No 5. Shu Uemura Curlers. 

What do they all have in common? They're all iconic beauty classics which have stood the test of time.  And today I'm reviewing another trusted classic which I had actually never tried before until last year! Yes team, today I'm talking about the legendary Yves St Laurent Touche Eclat highlighter pen.





This is apparently the UK's number one selling luxury beauty product with one Touche Eclat being sold across the world every ten seconds. Ten seconds! By the time you finish reading this, about 10 more people will have bought one.

What does it do?

A cult classic! YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Complexion Highlighter

I'm normally a fan of the matte look, but this permanent winter weather has been turning my skin duller than a day in November and I've been looking for a foundation with a bit of glowwww to it.

Glow is a dangerous word. 

Firstly it reminds me of that awful J-Lo perfume which was THE scent for any wannabe Regina George at school. 

Secondly - glow can be give that dewy look, but also ... that EWWY look. Too much glow in a product can leads to that my arch nemesis Mr Shine popping up uninvited in photos and making skin look oily rather than dewy.


So I've had a hunt around for a foundation that was dewy, not ewwy. And I think I found The One!!
