Monday Must Have: Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush - Plum Wine

I haven't gotten over this blush yet, so mind me if I sound like a 10 year old with a new toy! Creme blushes scare me because I have really oily skin, I was really hesitant when I heard about this blush, but I've also read raves apon raves about this product which got me to give it a try.
 

So what is the product? According to Maybelline it " feels lightweight like a powder yet melts into skin like a cream" I really don't think I can explain it any better. The texture of this blush is really one of a kind, it has a soft fluffy kind of feel, and I was tempted quite a few times to press my finger into the blush. 

So I took this blush to India with me, because it was quite compact and the love affair had started. I have become obsessed with this blush, that I am afraid of forgetting it somewhere or running out of the product! I really love how it melts into skin, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth with a light shimmer.

Now you have to admit, finding the right blush is so hard, but once I tried the plum wine, I knew this was the blush for me. It is so simple to use, just lightly swipe your finger over the silky smooth light texture and transfer to cheeks in circular motion, I've even tried applying it with a Blender Baby, and WOW it gives cheeks a beautiful flushed but absolutely natural airbrush look.

 I'd really recommend you give this blush a try, it is easy and compact, but just remember when using the blush, apply it before powder, it sets much better. So ladies... Look forward to falling in love with this amazing soft and fluffy blush!

 

Coloursensational Popstick

These were quite a huge trend in the beginning of the year and at the time I really didn't understand why because I thought it was quite a waste of money to me, but I purchased it just to see what's the hype about. I purchased it in the colour 080 Cherry Pop. The product is part of the Maybelline range, which means the product is a good luxurious product. The package is cute and quite trendy. It comes in a regular square lipstick tube. The lid is transparent lumo pink while the tube is shimmering silver and can be seen from the transparent lid. 

The actual Popstick is a sheer gloss which is in a lipstick form. Once you twist barrel, the lipstick is almost transparent with a tint. At first I didn't understand why everyone was going crazy about it. Until I've used it for a while and then realised I've now become addicted to this Popstick. The Popstick is fruity in fragrance and well moisturising, it doesn't leave lips sticky but soft and smooth. Once you try the Popstick you'll notice that lips have a beautiful glow and a shiny glossy look, with a hint of colour. The Popsticks aren't very long lasting on lips because you'll end up licking them off your lips all the time.

The unfortunate part is the price is around R110 for these Popsticks. I'd say they worth the try if you ready to splurge because they give lips a beautiful lovely glow with a completely natural look to lips. If I get the chance, I would definitely repurchase this product any day.
