Hello everyone! For my first post I thought I would show a couple of pieces that I have recently purchased from MAC, Nars and ELF. Most the products shown in the haul are blushes because I do like my blushers! :P
The first product that I purchased was from MAC and this was their Studio Moisture Tint with SPF 15 and this was in the shade light. I was advised on this purchase after one of the MAC assistants said that this was a lot lighter than their other foundations and steered me in the direction of a tinted moisturiser. This product is also worn by Millie Mackintosh (from Made in Chelsea) so having heard very little of this products from blogs it was nice to hear that this product had (some sort of) following. I'm very glad I did purchase this because it is perfect on my skin and it gives me that glowing look without being too heavy on the skin and is definitely one that I may purchase again. It has a very creamy texture which I like for applying with either my fingers or using my Real Techniques Buffing Brush.

Then the shading of tinted moisturiser is perfect for my skin having very pale skin I find it very hard to find suitable to find suitable shades that match my skin without looking too orangey. I have tried tinted moisturisers before so I was a little sceptical when I was shown this product in the MAC shop however the assistant applied it to my face using a buffing brush and it looked amazing. Having liked the finish i just found that they were too orange for my skin but having used this for a week I must say that I'm surprised how good it is! Below is a swatch of this shown on my skin before and after it has been rubbed in.

The second product that I have purchased from MAC and this was from their 'Hey, Sailor!' collection and this was in the shade Launch Away. This is a very light coral colour and is perfect for a very light pop of colour on the cheeks which I think will look great in the summertime and i really love this colour because I like quite neutral colours and this product is perfect. Also the packaging of this product is very cool and I like anything with stripes so this product was a MUST!
The next product that I purchased was another blush and this was from NARS. Having never purchased a NARS blush before and hearing the rave reviews about the orgasm blush and when I saw this in the shop i knew that it was the perfect colour. I love the gold shimmer that is in the blush and again would be perfect in the summer weather to brighten up my face. I really like how this product applies because some blushers can be very pigmented which i find makes it hard to blend but with this blush the coverage can be built up depending on the look that you want to go for.
The next product two products that i purchased was from ELF and having heard about ELF on YouTube I decided to make my first purchase. The blush I decided to purchase was from their studio range which is slightly more expensive than their other products. The first colour that i purchased was candid coral and this is beautiful colour and one which i will really enjoy wearing also the price of this blush is amazingly cheap only £3.50!!! I also bought Tickled Pink and these were both very similar in colouring with only a slight difference in shading. (Below is candid coral)
Then the final product that I have purchased was from ELF, this was £1.50 and this was Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in shade Luminance. This is a very light shade that when applied gives a lovely subtle glow I tend to have found using this with a powder brush then applying all over the face. This was perfect shading for pale skin as it isn't too dark but it couldn't be used as a bronzer as it is just a bit too light for my skin.
Hope you enjoyed my haul and please leave any comments below.
