Lets start with the packaging of this blush it comes in a velvet pouch debossed with burberry check .it also comes with a brush i didn't use the brush i just left it in the compact.I had quiet a hard time trying to get the actual color to show up on the pictures. i think i got some good pictures that's showing the actual color of the blush. its a deep dusty berryish pink color blush, its very pigmented so you have to be really light hand while applying this. this blush smells like rose but the scent does gets lighter after couple of use but does not disappear completely which i don't have a problem with cause i just love the scent.i have sensitive skin and the fragrance didn't cause any breakouts .

I wanted to compare some blush with the hydrangea blush. i wanted to compare it with mac's amazon princess, but i gave that blush to my sister so i couldn't do a comparision with that. but as much as i remember amazon princess is a bit more dark plum tone than this. due to the intensity of this blush the application becomes a little hard you have to be light hand and then blend really well.

Overall i really like this blush its bright and intense but blend able perfect summer color.this blush lasts about 6-7 hours on my oily skin. there is a slight sheen to it its barely noticeable once you apply it on your cheeks. this color will look nice on darker and lighter skin tone ladies.as you can see i don't own any color like this so i'm pretty happy with my purchase not to mention how i fell in love with the smooth buttery texture of this blush.if you don't own something similar to this blush i totally recommend for you to check this blush out if its in your budget. i do intend on picking up couple more burberry blush in the future.

Dior Mystic Metallics: Bonne Etoile Eyeshadow Palette

Dior Mystic Metallics: Bonne Etoile 384 Couture Color Eye shadow Palette

Price $61.00

Details

The Iconic 5 couleurs palette is embossed with Dior's lucky star.eye shadow palettes shimmer with iridescent shades in two different harmonies.

Dior launched their fall 2013 collection Mystic Metallics and as soon as i saw this palette i knew i had to own this palette.there is a another palette it's a combination of purple and lavender theme and i decided to skip that one.

Swatched without any primer,the sea foam color is the sheerest one in the palette.there is a minimal fall out specially with the frosty mauve silverish color eyeshadow .other than that i love the color payoff its very pigmented .the pictures don't do justice it looks so much better in person . its a perfect color combo of khaki teal and some brown eye shadows for fall, i can't wait till i do a look with this palette. even though I'm not a big fan of shimmering eye shadows this one somehow won my heart. this is a Limited Edition palette so if you are interested in purchasing this palette i suggest you do it soon before its gone.

Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascara

Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascara

Price $32.00

Color 01 Noir Black

.28 fl oz

What it does - A volume creating and curl sculpting mascara

I really like the packaging of this mascara,a slick gold luxurious tube and smells amazing. i have thin lashes that lays flat so its really hard to get them looking curled and full. the formula of this mascara is much more thinner than the Chanel LVDC in a another word its very lightweight. although guerlain claims this mascara to be a curl sculpting mascara that's not how it works for me. the curls doesn't last more than 2 hours on me but this does lengthens my lashes. the brush is mix of a short and long bristles this brush is really good for separating your lashes.

this is after i applied 3 coats of the mascara for the lucky ones out there who already have natural long curled lashes don't need to apply 3 coats of this mascara. i have to apply at least 3 coats to get my lashes looking full long and volumized , i didn't experience any flaking or smudging .overall i really like this mascara you can build it up to achieve a long full thick lashes or you can just apply one coat and go on about your day.

Do I Recommend it - YES!!

Will I Repurchase - YES!!
