Five in Five #1

I've finally come to the realisation that I have far too much make-up, and due to this I've decided I should really stop buying anymore. Which is great for my bank balance, but not so great when trying to think of new and creative ideas for a blog that's main focus is beauty. There are only so many times I can tell you about my favourite products, however I thought I'd start a series where I show you five products, and challenge myself to describe them in five words.

Ready, set, go!

Nars Multiple in South Beach - Glowy, sunkissed, Millie Mack cheekbones.

Real Techniques Contour Brush - Brush with hundreds of uses.

Dior Skin Nude BB Creme - Best thing since sliced bread.

Benefits Hervana Blush - Smells good enough to eat.

No7 BB Lips - Everyday esstential item must have.

Review: Nars The Multiple in Portofino

In case my constant raving about my Nars Multiple in South Beach, (review) didn't give it away, I was extremely impressed with it. So, I decided, why not get another one, and here we go. I really wanted one that would give me a 'lit from within' look, or a one that makes me look like I've been on a nice evening stroll.

As you can see, Portofino is a gorgeous coral pink colour. What I love about this is that you can really build it up (left) or really blend it out (right.) Like South Beach, this multiple contains a lot of shimmer, which gives a gorgeous glowy effect when on the cheeks.

As you can see it does give a very much I've just stepped out into the Winter chill look to the cheeks, which is one I really like.

I am yet to try it on the lips, but will let you know when I do.

What do you think?

P.S Just thought I'd share, I am loving this eyeshadow atm, it is MAC's All That Glitters, well worth the hype :)

Nars The Multiple: South Beach

A few weeks ago, I saw Corrie, tweet Millie Mackintosh to ask what she had worn on her cheeks at a launch of some kind, and Millie actually replied, saying she had used this product, the Nars Multiple in South Beach. So, when wondering through Selfridges the other day I went and looked at the Multiple sticks, and this was the first one I picked up, I think that my friends, is fate.

This is actually the first Nars Product I've ever bought, and I am not disappointed. I love the packaging, however it has gotten dirty rather quickly, but it just looks so sleek and pretty in my little basket.

South Beach is a a peachy bronzey colour with a fair bit of shimmer in it. I've never thought of getting a Multiple before, but I actually really love this. It is so creamy, which makes it a dream to use and blend.

As it is a peachy colour, it works well as a blush/contour and a highlight. I tend to just use it on it's own, and I love that is just so quick to throw on, but looks so gorgeous and put together.

I like to apply it straight from the bullet then blend it in with my Real Techniques Stippling Brush.

'scuse the Rudolph  nose, I had woman flu.

I also realised, I should've moved my hair, sorry!

I actually wore it whilst browsing some make-up counters, and a MUA actually asked my what I had on my cheeks. That's when I knew I had a keeper.

I really love this product, it is a firm favourite now, and I will definitely be re-purchasing again and again, I can't speak highly enough of it.

Have you tried this? What do you think?
