Mid-week Hype: Dewy Cheeks | 'Rose Gold' Sleek Blush x Makeup Revolution Ultra Bronze

So you guys know I'm not one for experimenting with makeup - once I find something I like, I literally won't try anything else until I hit the pan with the others. But, one type of product I do like to experiment with is blush n bronzer.

When I'm on the go, I stick to my Milani duo, because it's small, compact and contains both blush and bronzer. But when I have spare time or I wanna make an effort this is one of the looks I go for.


Blush n bronzer are really important to me in terms of makeup cos I don't wear foundation, so I rely on them to brighten up my face and take the focus away from any blemishes. Plus, I'm a huge fan of contouring and I basically do the whole temple/cheek/jawline routine. Only thing I miss is my nose because it's skinny enough and if anything, I wish it was a lil wider.


I use Makeup Revolution's 'Ultra Bronze' (...bronzer?) (RRP £4.49) to contour n hollow out my cheeks a bit and above that Sleek's blush in 'Rose Gold', (RRP £3) using E.L.F's studio stipple brush to blend everything together.

This blush is one of my favourites because the gold specs in it act as a highlighter too giving you a really dewy, glowing look. 
Before, when I did wear foundation, my face used to get suuuuper oily, especially my T-Zone, but it's pretty in check now, so I don't really had to worry about looking greasy. Saying that, I tried a new rosehip oil last night that came in my monthly Birchbox so that may be one of the reasons I stayed matte for so long today.



Also I thought I should add that I have Pixi's tinted shea butter lip balm on my lips in 'Ripe Raspberry'. It's superrr pigmented, n a lil goes a long way. I can't even swipe it on my lips, I have to dab cos the colour payoff is so strong and bright.

The blush and bronzer you can buy online or in store in  Superdrug. The lip balm I got in my October Birchbox, it's the full size and you can buy it on their site too, here.



Hope you guys enjoyed this post, Merry Christmas!
