Soap & Glory Love at first Blush

Soap & Glory Love at first Blush

Love at first blush by Soap & Glory is a gorgeous mix of colours that can be worn separately as a shimmery eyeshadow or all together if you swirl your brush over the whole pan, giving you a stunning rosy highlighted blush.


The skin-smoothing emollient base and encapsulated metallic shimmer pearls deliver instant chic for the shabby cheek. This blushing powder gives a gorgeous rosy glow & beautifully luminous skin. 


I really like using S&G's Love at first blush* as the colour is lovely & natural, it also applied like a dream with hardly any blending required. Not forgetting the amazing packaging, that always look pretty in your collection.


The colour comes out as a lovely light rosy pink and, depending how much you load up on your brush, can be as subtle or pigmented as you like. It has an amazing sheen to it that just brightens up your face.


 I found that it lasted a fair few hours on my cheeks - about 6/7?, Which I think is pretty good going as blusher doesn't always lasts to long on me for some reason so I was impressed with this.

Maybelline Quad in Coral Drama

Maybelline Quad in Coral Drama

 

I have viewed this palette from afar looking at swatches, Umming & Ahhing as to one I need it & two if I'll use it but when I was browsing eBay & came across a brand new, sealed one for £3.55 including postage, instead of its usual £7.19, it was in my basket & paid for before I had chance to change my mind! Once I had it in my hands I am so glad I bought it, the shades are lovely & perfect for this time of year.


As you can see, the colours are all very shimmery and metallic, the colours are pigmented, creamy and A great combination of colours. They are great colours for Autumn/Winter in lovely rusty bronze shades, There's a shimmery cream colour, with the hint of gold in it, which warms it up, I use this for a highlight on my brow bone and in my inner corner of my eye. The gold shimmery colour I used all over the lid, and put the bright light coral colour at the outer corner of my eye/in the crease. The final dark burgundy colour I use on the outer corner. This would look great on any eye colour but I particularly like it with my blue eyes it really makes them pop!


What Maybelline say..
• Rich colour. Smooth feel. 
• Innovative formula with silk pigments creates the ultimate shadow texture and luminosity. Illuminate – Sweep lightest shade all over eye using wider side of applicator, from lash line to brow bone. Blend – Apply second shade across full lid; using tapered end of brush, add shade to lower lash line for depth. Emphasise – Sweep third shade from inner corner to middle of lid. Contour – Line darkest shade on upper lash line with tapered end of brush for added intensity.
Overall I am really impressed & will definitely snap some more up at this price, I would pay full price for another but prefer a bargain & will be stalking eBay for other shades.
What's your favourite eyeshadow single/palette for Autumn?
