So I was going through my makeup collection and noticed that I have quite a few pink products. When I'm smelling products before I buy them, especially lip products, I am always drawn to the strawberry and sweeter scents so obviously the packaging is pink so I have accumulated quite a bit of pink packaging.
First up is the Maybelline Colour Whisper in "Petal Rebel" and is definitely my most used lipstick! It's a lovely light pink shade and is perfect for the spring and summer time or to wear if you have a dramatic eye look and want a more natural lip so it isn't too "in-your-face".
The NYX Powder Blush in "Pinched" is definitely a dupe for NARS Orgasm blush. It has specks of gold shimmer and is a pink-peachy shade which is very pigmented so you hardly need to pick up any product. It gives a healthy looking glow and perfect for during the day and then I add more for the night time.
Next up is the Real Techniques Blush Brush. This brush is perfectly shaped to apply blush evenly onto the cheeks. It has synthetic bristles so they don't fray or go out of place. The bristles are really soft so it's easy to blend everything out and create a natural glow to my face.
The MAC Pink Venus Shadow is an amazing eyeshadow if I want to even out the colour of my eyelids and just have a bit of something on. It is not very pigmented so I do need to layer it quite a bit if I want a darker look but is definitely worth it. It has specks of shimmer in it which makes it very girly and cute to wear with some liquid liner and lots of mascara for a day look.
Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Lolita is one of my favourite lip balms ever! The baby lips range are so moisturising, smell amazing and subtly tints your lips. I have used about two or three tubes of the "Berry Brush" flavour so I thought I'd try another one a couple of weeks ago when I went into Priceline. They are so cheap but so good quality, best lip balm ever!
I am absolutely obsessed with OPI nail polishes so I obviously had to include some and my two favourites are Got a Date To-Knight and Strawberry Margarita. Got a Date To-Knight is a lovely baby pink shade which I use mostly for when I'm doing french manicures as it's quite sheer but if I'm using it by itself I need to put three coats in. OPI usually only needs two coats for all of their colours but this one unfortunately is much more sheer and watery than the others. I've been wearing Strawberry Margarita on my toe nails for about 6 weeks straight now because it is the perfect shade for my tootsies and because I wear thongs (flip flops) to work our toes always have to be nicely done. I only needed two coats of this and it lasts a really long time! I can't wait to use this on my finger nails during the summer because the colour just screams beach and sun to me!
Finally is the NYX Butter Gloss in Strawberry Parfait. I cannot explain how amazing these lip glosses are! They smell so delicious and last a long time on. Unlike some lip glosses they aren't sticky so they apply really smooth and hair doesn't get stuck in it. It has a creamy consistency and has a bit of colour in it which is perfect for during the day and I like to put a bit of lipstick underneath for the night time. Oh, and it also tastes great! I hate putting on lip glosses and then discovering that it tastes gross and I'm most likely not going to wear that one again but the butter glosses literally taste like they smell.
