Cherry Cream: A Soft, Sweet Cream-Filled Quickie

Product Information

This blush is a beautiful berry colour, which is not a blush colour I’d normally wear, but, it is very pigmented and blends so well! Before I applied my blush I bronzed up my face with Benefit Hoola bronzer (as there wasn’t a bronzer in the kit) and then I went ahead and decanted some of the blush into the lid; as I find that it is a good way to avoid applying too much product. What I like is that it is a compact blusher that will last for ages due to the mineral-based formulae.

It seems like we're on a bit of a run with all things skin with day 11 being the fourth day for skin care. But thankfully we have a cleanser and it's a liquid one so this could be used as a 2nd cleanse along with Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish to double cleanse in the evening. Perfect for most skin types (with the BHA it may be slightly drying on very dry skin) and for all ages this looks like a pretty interesting cleanser, especially if you are wanting to exfoliate the skin without a manual scrub. I was skeptical about how this foundation would apply and how much coverage it would give, as I have only used cream/liquid based foundations before and I like a medium-full coverage (Bourjois healthy mix being my current favourite). At first, I didn’t think it would cover up acne scarring on my cheeks, but, it actually did a pretty good job. In this photo I added a bit of ‘Buzz’ eyeshadow from the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette to brighten up the eyeshadow as it appeared a little ashy on my lid.Overall, I like the build-able qualities of this product and the youthful glow that it gives, but, the glow does intensify as you apply more of the product, which I didn’t expect. The good thing is that it contains an SPF of 15 which is important in a product like foundation. I will probably use this product mostly in the summer as it’s a light-weight natural-looking product that improves the appearance of the skin without looking like your wearing tonnes of makeup. It is suitable for all ages and it is so simple to use! I am sorry for the ramble of a post! I just wanted to include everything from the kit in one. I hope you have enjoyed it. Start with the chocolate pudding, whisking cocoa powder with cornstarch, coconut sugar, and coconut milk. However, I don’t think I will use this powder as an all-over setting powder in the future, just because for me it came off pink on the skin and I prefer a powder that’s transparent for setting my face as it doesn’t change the colour or tone of my makeup. I found when applying that there was an unexpected glow to the product and I did have to blot this with another powder brush as my forehead and nose became very shiny looking! When I tested the foundation before it looked matte and chalky, but, on the skin it’s radiant and bronzy – I would recommend going to a Bare Minerals counter to test the products for yourself before buying if you are unsure.

Always give your moisturizer time (as long as 15 minutes) to absorb into your skin before applying foundation. Otherwise, you can end up with a streaky mess. 3. Don't go overboard on product. This peanut butter pie is such a hit when I serve it that I always make extra. It’s so rich and dreamy that almost everyone reaches for a second slice. I truly believe all skin types can include a facial oil into their skincare routine in the colder months, whether that be used alone on drier skin or by mixing a few drops with your face cream of choice. This is another sample on the smaller side but for once I don't mind as the oil looks rich and so little is needed that this will last you quite a long time. I'm totally new to using marula oil but found out it's good for reducing redness while nourishing, healing and improving skin elasticity. Marula Oil also helps reduce water loss and increases the smoothness of skin. I'm excited to try this out mixed with my favourite nightly moisturiser.Buff either kind of powder formula onto skin with a loose-bristled powder brush, using circular motions to diffuse the pigment evenly for the most natural finish. How to Apply Concealer On my skin the blush is a rosy berry tone which is lovely for autumn/winter, however, it isn’t a shade I would personally wear in the spring and summer months- but, it doesn’t mean you can’t! If you are looking for a blush that is easy to blend and gives you a nice flush of colour definitely have a look at this one!
