New Favourite Lip Combo

As some of you may of seen in my recent post I picked up the Mac Blushcreme in 'LadyBlush' and this has easily become one of my favourite products. It looks gorgeous on the cheeks and after having a little play about with it the other day I discovered that it looks lovely on the lips too!

I never usually steer away from nudes but recently I've noticed that when I reapply my lipstick whilst intoxicated that I get a bit heavy handed and end up in photos looking like I've opted for 'concealer lips'. Yum.

A touch of ladyblush and some of my favourite no.7 high shine gloss give me a really subtle pink lip that flatters the rest of my make up and photographs well too!

Mac Ladyblush Blushcreme

Some of you may of seen this mentioned in my Haul post the other day, as an early Birthday gift my mum brought me a few Mac goodies. 'Ladyblush' blushcreme had been on my wishlist for a while so I was overjoyed when I finally got my mits on it and it didn't disappoint!

Mac's blushcremes retail for £16.50 for 6g which I don't think is a bad deal. The blush is really pigmented so a tiny swirl of your finger will pick up all you need for both cheeks and I have no doubt this will last me aggges. The blushcreme's have quite a strange consistency compared to other cream blushes I've used, they're quite thick and slightly sticky at first touch but blend suprisingly well!

The colour is described as a 'demure cool pink flush' which I'd completely agree with, it looks slightly darker in the pan than it does on the cheeks but it's a really pretty, cool toned pink that can be sheered out or built up to intensify the colour.

The main reason I love this blush is because of the finish.
Even if you've given yourself a completely matte base a pop of this on the cheeks will leave you looking fresh faced, glowing and gives a gorgeous dewy finish to your cheeks.

This has already become a firm favourite along with Illamasqua's 'Katie' and Topshop's cream blusher in 'Flush'.
