There comes that time in your life where you start to make a more permanent move from Tesco Value to Tesco Finest and, for me, it's the same with makeup.
Let me tell you what I mean. Although I've dabbled in the occasional Lancome or Benefit product, I've spent the majority of my makeup years buying beauty-aisle brands and online budget beauty. As I've progressed with my career I've started to branch out but the big leap from high-street to high end can only be immortalised by one brand - and that's Chanel.
That's right - it's taken me a few years to get here but this month I bought my first bit of Chanel Beauty. A little healthy-glow compact which came with it's own velvet pouch. Say what?! How have I not gone high-end sooner?
What is this MASTERPIECE before me?
This, dear friends, is the new addition to the Chanel Les Beiges collection and the latest addition to my make up bag!

My First Chanel Beauty Buy! Les Beiges Multi-Colour Compact
As a self-confessed flat face, I'm a huge fan of contouring and highlighting. I've reviewed lots of blushers and bronzers which I use for the contouring part and now, it's time for the bright side!
When it comes to highlighters, there are so many types available it's hard to decide. Cream highlighters, powder highlighters - gold toned, pink toned - where do we begin? Do we need so many? Why does it come in so many colours?
Never fear my pretties, I'm here to lay it allllll down. If you are new to the world of highlighting - check out my MUA powder highlighter review and my Where To Apply Touche Eclat for my attempt to draw diagrams...!
But if you're a seasoned highlighting pro, you know as well as I do that you want, desire and NEED the whole range of highlighters in your arsenal. Are you missing anything?
Here's my pick of the bunch.
Why so many highlighters?

Highlighter Highlights: Cream vs Powder? Benefit or MUA?
Gawsh, isn't the weather gorgeous at the moment? Oriflame sure picked the perfect time to launch their new "The ONE" collection - I love me a good event launch, especially when it's on a rooftop and sunny outside! Funny how a little but of sun just makes everything 100 times nicer!
Sunny Soho location aside, there were bubbles, cupcakes and a celebrity make-up artist in the form of the awesome Gary Cockerill! Gary is one of the UK's most respected makeup artists and has worked with beautiful faces like Eva Longoria, Cat Deeley and Rachel Weiss to name but a few! Oh yeah - and David Beckham! (yes, can you believe it? Even Becks needs a good buffing up every now and then!)
Pick & Mix makeup in jars and free bubbles - could this BE any more blissful?
Enough fluff, let's get down to business. I've reviewed Oriflame cosmetics many a time but if you haven't seen them (here, here and HERE )- the general jist is..... I really friggin LOVED them. It's such a shame that Oriflame doesnt have a stronger presence in the UK yet!
There's the amazing Oriflame eyebrow kit which I loved, and also the New Years party face I created with the Eye Pearls and Palladium Shine lipstick...dreamy!
Anyway - without getting distracted by the cakes - let's look at the new stuff! What's the "The ONE" collection all about?

PRODUCT LAUNCH: Oriflame "The One" Collection
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.
