On My Cheeks: Models Prefer Blush in Desk to Date

Hey all, 

I don’t usually post on the weekends, as I always try and keep them for ‘me’ time. But since I haven’t posted as much as I usually do this week, I thought that I would use this weekend to catch up! 

It seems as though I have been hit with everything at once - bronchitis, a job transition, house renovation issues, and a cat with a cold. To say the least, I have had issues keeping organised this week! The end is in sight though, as they say; and thankfully too - my nail polish is chipped beyond belie and my skin is definitely showing signs of stress. 

I have posted about Models Prefer products a few times now, always with positive reviews.  Their Mattifying Primer and Glitz & Glamour Highlighter are amongst my most reached for products. And with the addition of this blush, I have to say that the brand continues to impress me. 

Shade 

- A gorgeous medium pink that would compliment any skin tone. No shimmer, but has a sheen to it. 

What I Love 
- Gorgeous shade.
- Highly pigmented. 
Creamy, applies smoothly and is easily blend able. 
- Very reasonably priced. 

What I Don’t 
- Get quite a bit of product fallout, as you can see in the below picture. 

Where to Buy: Priceline 

Price: $9.99

Despite the fallout, this is a gorgeous blush that creates a healthy and natural glow. At $10 a piece, I definitely recommend that you give it a try!

Models Prefer Highlighter in Glitz & Glamour

Hey all, 

Highlighter and I haven't always been the best of friends; I have oily/combination skin and always thought that it would make me look like an oil slick, and a lot of it does. But out relationship is quickly changing, and highlighter is fast becoming my new best friend. Who doesn't want to look radiant and glowing when they have only had 3 hours sleep? 

I picked up this Models Prefer powder highlighter from Priceline the other week. I have always been pleasantly surprised by Models Prefer, so I figured that I would give it a try. 

It turns out that is a gorgeous blend of four shades that work perfectly with my skin tone; I'm in love with the formula as well. 

What I Love

- Gorgeous blend of shades for my skin tone. 

- Smooth, creamy and not at all chalky on my skin. 

- Not too much shimmer. 

- Doesn't make me look like a deep fryer. 

- Long-lasting and wears off evenly (no blotchy shimmer here). 

- Very reasonably priced!

- Sleek, simple packaging. 

What I Don't Love 

- This is just a personal mope moment - but I always get a little sad when the shades all start mix together

The frist swatch is all four shades mixed together, and the rest are clockwise around the quad.

I've been using this product almost everyday now. It's a gorgeous shade and works very well with my combination shade. I am definitely cheating myself to a glowing, restored self with this one! 

Definitely another Model's Prefer Success! 

Do you have a favourite drugstore powder highlighter? 

Hope you all have a great night! xx

Models Prefer Mattifying Primer

Hey all,

Although I do sometimes find myself being a bit lazy when putting make up on in the morning, I never miss primer. The truth is that I am a bit primer obsessed! Personally, I really do feel as though primer makes a big difference to the way make up feels, looks and wears on my skin, and I can’t get enough! 

I have been enjoying Models Prefer products ever since I first spotted them, and this primer was another delightful addition to my growing collection! I would recommend this primer for those of you with normal - combination/oily skin. 

What I Love

- The feel/texture of the product! It is wonderfully silky!

- Goes on smoothly and aids in the smooth application of foundation. 

- Reduces the appearance of pores

- Reduces shine & controls oil (mattifying). 

- Extends foundation wear.

- Does not cause me to break out. 

What I Am Not So Crazy About

- The bottle is quite small, for primer. 

- It does contain silicone, so be wary of this if your skin is sensitive to silicone containing products. 

Where to Buy: Priceline

Price: $12.99

For those of you who have skin that reacts to some primer ingredients, here is the ingredient list! 

Ingredients: Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Dimethicome Crosspolymer, Polysilicone-11

If you’re into primer’s, I definitely recommend that you give this one a try! I have been using it every single time I put make up one and am still adoring it. 

Hope you all have a great day! xx

I Bought Some Goodies! Haul - 10/10/11

Hey all, 

It was such a gorgeous afternoon in Brisbane today I just had to venture outside! Only for a little while though...the rest of my day was spent on my verandah with my fur babies and a pile of magazines. 

And of course the good weather put me in a good mood, which means shopping! Here is what I picked up. 

Sorry about the picture quality again, another night snap!
