MY GO-TO BLUSHES

MAC MINERALIZED BLUSH - WARM SOUL, MILANI BAKED BLUSH - LUMINOSO, MAC POWDER BLUSH - MELBA, TARTE AMAZONIAN CLAY 12-HOUR BLUSH - EXPOSED

Back in the day I was blush obsessed, I found myself buying every blush on the market (seriously), and I tried and tested most of the shades the world has to offer. But now when the blusher obsession has cooled down a bit, I find myself reaching for the same ones over and over again, here are my go-to blushes. Starting off with my all time favorite blush, Luminoso from Milani, the queen of all blushes. It's peachy perfection with a gorgeous glow without any obnoxious glitters. When I want something a tiny bit more natural I go for Warm Soul from MAC, like Luminoso it's a baked blush so it also has that beautiful non-glittery glow. This one isn't as peachy, it's almost like a bronzy peach. The next two aren't quite as glowy and juicy as the baked blushes but they deserve a mention, because, believe it or not, I don't always want a intense cheek. Firstly there is a cult favorite, Melba from MAC, a beautiful matte warm peach that looks very natural on the cheeks but gives that sumthin' sumthin'. Last but certainly not least is Exposed from Tarte, the most natural "barely there" shade I have in my collection. It's a very soft plummy pink that works perfectly when I don't want to distract from the eyes or lips. What are your go-to blushes? //Fyrir nokkrum árum var ég kinnalita sjúk, ég keypti alla kinnaliti sem ég sá og hef prófað flesta liti sem alheimurinn hefur uppá að bjóða. Núna þegar kinnalita brjálæðið í mér hefur róað sig niður virðist ég alltaf teygja mig í sömu kinnalitina aftur og aftur, hér eru mínir go-to kinnalitir.
Byrjum á mínum allra uppaáhalds, Luminoso frá Milani. Hann er hinn fullkomni ferskjulitur sem gefur húðinni fallegan ljóma án glimmers. Þegar ég vil eitthvað aaaðeins náttúrulegra fer ég yfir í Warm Soul frá MAC, hann er bakaður kinnalitur eins og Luminoso og gefur þar af leiðandi fallegan ljóma. Liturinn er eiginlega bronsaður ferskjulitur, hrikalega fallegur.
Næstu tveir eru báðir mattir og eru nokkuð náttúrulegri en bökuðu kinnalitirnir. Melba frá MAC er klassík í beauty heiminum en hann er mjög fallegur hlýr ferskjulitur sem gefur húðinni fallegan lit án þess að verða of klikkaður. Síðast en alls ekki síst er það síðan Exposed frá Tarte, þessi er líklegast náttúrulegasti kinnaliturinn sem ég á. Léttur plómubleikur sem hentar fullkomnlega þegar ég vil ekki draga athyglina frá augunum eða vörunum.
Hverjir eru þínir uppáhalds kinnalitir?

MOST USED IN 2012

I really wanted to make a post like this before it was too late, so here it is! It was super hard to pick my favorites, at first I had a list of 26 products, but I narrowed it down to these 10 :) (this is for real the most used products of 2012, I didn't want to include products that I haven't really tested out too much)

1. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

I have it in the shade 54 and it matches me perfectly. It leaves a beautiful natural finish on the skin, light to medium coverage but is definitely buildable if you need more. I like it for everyday use because it doesn't feel heavy on the skin, but I do often wear this when I go out since it doesn't have SPF so it doesn't give you that white cast in pictures plus it stays on very nicely. Great affordable foundation and if you haven't tried it, I recommend you do!

2. MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle

This gives me a nice shimmery glow (not too shimmery though), it gives my face that beautiful highlight everyone loves!

3. MAC Charcoal Brown

Definitely my holy grail eyebrow product! I use this seriously every single day! and I find it suits a lot of different hair colors. It's just perfect. 

4. MAC Peach Blossom

my favorite "my lips but better" color, I usually only use chapstick on an everyday basis, but when I want a bit of colour, this is the one I always use. Lovely soft pinky peach

5. Flora by Gucci

Amazing perfume that I've loved all year long (I had been spraying this on myself every time I went into a store that sold this, then I finally got it in november).

6. Morocan Oil Light

Everyone has heard about this and chances are you've tried it. This is just amazing, I apply it to wet hair and it just makes my hair silky smooth and shiny. 

7. Loreal Telescopic

Oldie but a goodie. This makes my tiny little lashes way longer, doesn't smudge and stays on all day.

8. Lorac Pro Palette

Great color range, great color pay off, great packaging! 

9. MAC Melba blush

This has been my go to blush this year, it's a matte coral-peach and gives me a instant healthy glow look!

10. Sleek Contour Kit in Light

I only use the contouring color, don't really care for the highlighter. But the contouring color is a nice natural contouring shade and not orange at all. Plus it's affordable and I love Sleek's packaging, it's so sleek hehe
