The Blusher Tag

I saw this tag on 'A Life With Frills' blog and I thought I'd give this a go. I do love blusher and wish I was a bit more daring with the shades I choose but anyway I thought I'd tag some other bloggers to do it too.

What colour blush suits you the most?

Pink shades suit me the most, like a dusty rose or mauve based shade.

Pressed, cream or loose?

Pressed is definitely the easiest to use I find but I do like using loose too for a bit more colour and blendability.

Favourite shimmery blush?

My favourite shimmery blush is Benefit's Coralista I have been using this since I was 16 and love the coral/pink shade. However, I never use the brush that comes in the little cardboard box and find the packaging quite rubbish but I guess that means they invest more in the actual product so I can't complain.

Favourite matte blush?

I have really been loving Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Seductive Pink this is the perfect matte blush that gives a healthy glow.

Favourite cream blush?

All of Topshops cream blushers are lovely I especially liked the shade 'Flush'. I actually lost this a while ago but it gave such a beautiful dewy look and it is an orange blusher which is perfect for summer holidays. I will repurchase this again one day...

Favourite drugstore blush?

This has got to be MUAs blusher in Marshmallow, this blusher is only £1! This electric pink shade is perfect for evenings and is highly pigmented. People might think it's quite a risky blusher as it is so bright but it works really well on a brush applicator.

Favourite MAC blush?

I don't actually own any MAC blushes! YET :(

Biggest blush disappointment?

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher- mentioned before in a post you can read here- this blusher was just overall crap! No pigmentation whatsoever and very difficult application.

Best blush packaging?

The best packaging I have found is Sleek's Blusher. I have the shade Rose Gold which is a beautiful shimmery colour. the packaging is plain black and is a compact. I have dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken which  makes it a real winner for me.

What's on your blush wishlist?

NARS Angelika

NARS Deepthroat

MAC Well Dressed

Holy grail blush?

Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Seductive Pink. As mentioned above, I wear this everyday and it is the colour perfect for my skin tone.

The British Tag

I've been considering doing a get to know me tag, for those readers out there to give a little insight on who I am basically. I thought the British Tag would be the best way to do that as I am honestly as British as they come. I complain constantly about the dreary weather, drink far too many cups of tea and have barbecues whatever the weather

1. How many cups of tea do you have a day? How many sugars?

I have between 3-4 cups a day, 1 sugar! It always has to be in a nice mug. I also have a coffee or 2 during the day.

2. Favourite part of your roast?

It's a toss-up between Yorkshire puddings and sage and onion stuffing!

3. Favourite dunking biscuit?

Digestives all the way even though I know they're so bad for me!

4. Favourite quintessentially British pastime?

I love going to pubs, whether it be drinking in the evening or for a Sunday lunch I just love a good pub.

5. Favourite word?

My mum would kill me but I love the word "Bollocks"! There's a satisfaction that comes with shouting this at someone who is lying.

6. Cockney rhyme slang?

Dog and Bone

Apple and Pears

A personal favourite, Baked Bean!

7. Favourite sweet?

Anything Haribo!

8. What would your pub be called?

There's a pub in West Sussex that my I have been to with my Nan called the Black Rabbit and I love it there! I think I would name it something like that. Maybe the "White Rabbit" like Alice in Wonderland.

9. No.1 British person?

I LOVE Tanya Burr!

10. Favourite shop / Restaurant?

I love Topshop for clothing. My favourite restaurant has to be Ciao Bella, a little Italian restaurant in Romford. They do the best food and big portions! I go there with my boyfriend when we're celebrating something or just fancy gorging on pizza.

11. What British song pops into your head?

Spice Girls- Spice up your life. I'm picturing Geri Halliwell's Union Jack Dress

12. Marmite?

Love it, but I definitely have to have a craving for it. I don't keep it in the cupboard.

I tag those British bloggers out there who has yet to do the British tag to do it!
