This is a palette from Estee Lauder’s Spring 2012 makeup collection called Topaz Mosaic which I’ve got as a Birthday present from a friend.

This is actually a really nice  warm toned palette for creating every day looks. It originally caught my attention because these are not the most boring neutrals.

You get five shades inside:

• light matte yellow in the centre
• two champagne shades, one is warmer and with glitter
• warm metallic orange
• warm reddish brown which is

Blush is probably my favourite makeup product. And I do love some luxury blushes. This is definitely not a necessity but just something I like to treat myself to once in a while.

But I understand that some people don’t want to spend a lot on a blush, actually I often get asked what cheap but good blushes I can recommend.

I have written about Max Factor and NYX in the past but those are cream blushes so I will try to write about some powder blushes which I think are nice as well.

Let’s start with La Femme Cosmetics Blush On Rouge which is really cheap actually. It retails for £2.95 only!

Although I’ve heard a lot of great things about these blushes, I’ve decided to get only one for a start. I’ve chosen to try a shade called Coral which is a  bright reddish coral.

And I can actually see why so many people love these. La Femme blush that I have is

People always ask me what affordable beauty products I would recommend. My current obsessions are Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks and L’Oreal Color Infaillible Eye Shadows.

Actually I plan to get a new shade of both each month. I could buy them all at once but that’s not fun.

I have already shown you my 006 All Night Blue and  026 Golden Mahogany shades so today I want to show you my latest addition which I’ve got only last week. And while most people won’t want blue or reddish brown, this shade should get a lot of love.

And I am talking about the shade 024 Bronze Divine (I think it has different name in some countries). It is such a beautiful golden khaki.  It is perfection! Just take a look at how gorgeous it looks like:

I just love bright pink blush for winter months (and not only) as it really brightens the face and makes you look healthy and pretty!

So I’ve picked up three bright pink blushers that I have to show you.

NYX Cream Blush in Hot Pink  , no7 Blooming Pink and Daniel Sandler Hot Pink.

NYX Cream Blush in Hot Pink 

This is the brightest and the most pigmented blush. You really need the tiniest amount of it, I think it would work great on the darker skin tones but you can still wear it if you have fair skin tone like I do. NYX’s Hot Pink is also the warmest of all three.  You get a lot of product for the price. Read a more details review here.

No7 Vital Brights Cream Blush  in Blooming Pink

This one is a  Limited Edition for Spring so you better get it now if you want one.  The texture is cream-to-powder and it really reminds me of the amazing YSL blushes. Colour wise, it’s a

I want to show you one of  my favourite eye liners – Rouge Bunny Rouge Rave Glaze Laquer Liner.

It is a jet black eyeliner with a precise tip which allows you to control the application.  On me it lasts all day with smudging or fading. I also find it easy to apply but if you are not very confident with the liner – you may try using pencil or eye shadows first to ‘map’ the line and then use this liner.

Here is how the tip of the liner looks like
