Bye Bye BlushBlendBeauty

2012-08-29T09:06:00.000+01:00

Hey lovelies....

So as you probably guessed from the title, I am throwing the towel in with my blog.

It wasn't an easy decision at all to make however, I feel I communicate better with you all via my YouTube channel. I find it really difficult to get my personality into writing.

I have decided to end my blog journey, and what a journey it has been as well. I have met SOOOO many nice people along the way and I just want to thank EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU for supporting me and making this sooo much fun to do.

I really want to put my heart and soul into my videos, its what I enjoy the most!

Everyone who knows me well, knows I love a chat =D

So again, a HUGE thank you to everyone. The support was amazing, please keep supporting my YouTube journey over at www.youtube.com/blushblendbeauty.

I'm still on twitter: https://twitter.com/BlushBlendBeaut

And on Instagram: Blushblendbeauty

Keep in touch.

Lots of Love

Illamasqua Skin Base to MAC foundations Comparison Chart

2012-07-17T16:47:00.002+01:00

Hey lovelies!

This is a very quick post!

I seem to always get asked what shade people would be in Illamasqua Skin Base from any MAC shade.

I come across this chart conversation today on the illamasqua facebook site and thought it could help quite a few people so here it is.

Hope this helps! =)

ELF Studio Glossy Gloss

2012-07-16T21:14:00.001+01:00

Good evening all.

Last week I took full advantage of the ELF 50% off and purchased myself some goodies.

I want to show you all these wonderful lip glosses. Now as you know I love a lipstick however never actually pull off wearing them. Second best option is a colour gloss.

If i'm honest I really thought these glosses would be an utter waste of money as normally 'coloured' lip glosses normally come out clear with a 'hint' of colour. I was SOOOO WRONG!!

Just check out how much the colours come through these glosses!!!

Wild Watermelon

Pink candy

Funky Fuchsia

Wild Cherry

I managed to pick up these bargains at £1.88 each however normal price is £3.75 each.

I am over the moon with these glosses. They can be found in the Studio range and I will definitely be using these on up and coming shoots.

Triaction Sports Bra by Triumph

2012-07-07T13:00:00.000+01:00

Last week I was contact by the wonderful people at Halpern PR with regards to these new sports bras. Now im not sure if you have been following me on twitter @blushblendbeaut you will see that I am going to Zumba on Mondays and Boot Camp sessions on Tuesday. I am always on the look out for new sport bras and ones that actually work well.

I have just always relied on a very old sports bra from nike and it is good however I find that I need to wear a bra underneath to actually have that full support when running or training etc.

With this Triaction bra it is a god send. I kid you not these puppies do not move at all. I was a little sceptical at first because there is no underwire or what feels like a decent support.... I though this until I put it to the test with an hour of full impact zumba!

I was pleasently surprised. It wasnt uncomfortable in the slightest, it was very soft and very very supportive. I actually couldnt rate this sports bra enough so a HUGE thank you for Halpern PR for contacting me. I absoliutely love this.

They do different ones for different levels of sport however I opted for the extreme.

Looks like I wont be needed this old thing anymore!!! =)

You can purchase these supports from http://uk.triumph.com/TRIACTION-HYBRID-STAR/10087354,en_GB,pd.html&cgid=1140000#!i%3D7%26color%3D0003_White#image

They retail at £40.00 each and come in a range of sizes B-F cups which also impressed me as I am a bigger busted girl I honestly thought it would fit.

New Purchases: Topshop Lipsticks

2012-07-06T13:56:00.002+01:00

Hey guys,

I just can't get enough of topshop lipsticks

They have such a array of colours to choose from and the staying power of these bad boys is intense.

I purchased these a few weeks back and I have fallen in love with them.

Love the packaging!!

Secret Admire and Infrared

Secret Admire

Infrared

I love these colours!! Secret Admire is a gorgeous natural colour on the lips and it is quite hydrating for a lipstick. I normally wear this with an elf pencil underneath. If you want to see how that looks together then please watch my latest video below. Infrared is more of an orangey tone for me and I think this kind of tones works best for my skin tone too and also doesn't make my teeth look yellow which is a winner in anyone's eyes!

They retail at £8.00 each and can be found here topshop lippies!!

Do you have a favourite topshop lipstick? If so what one as im always looking to expand my kit with new colours!

Have a lovely weekend guys.

Love Natalie xxxx

Wednesday Wants.... Perfume?

2012-07-04T11:24:00.001+01:00

Hello lovelies...

I love a good perfume.... but sometimes I find it soo difficult to find a good long lasting one.

I'm always on the hunt for a new scent but I always find myself buying my all time favourite....

Nina by Nina Ricci

It has the most amazing floral smell, it is quite strong however just reminds me of holidays and summer ( not that we are having much luck at the moment with weather!)

What the experts have to say:
Nina is a modern fairytale fragrance aimed at the younger audience. The fragrance is elegant, floral and fruity with the scent of candied fruits. The composition starts sparkly and spontaneous, just like a carefree laughter with the fresh citrus notes of lemon and lime...

I have stumbled across this website which is selling it for an absolute bargain price too.. WINNING!!

Plus the name of the website actually caught my eye..... kind of reminds people that flowers can be replaced with nicer smelling and longer lasting products!!

http://www.forget-flowers.co.uk
http://www.forget-flowers.de/ - Germany
http://www.forget-flowers.fr/ - France

http://www.forget-flowers.com/ - US

http://www.forget-flowers.es/ - Spain

They also do mens scents and gift sets too.

I couldn't rave about Nina enough. If you have never tried it go into your local store and give it a whirl. Its soo addictive i'm sure I am on my 7- 8th bottle by now. =/

Have you guys tried this? What's your all time favourite go to perfume?

2012-06-27T09:27:00.000+01:00

Hey everyone.

So this post is really a post all about ME!

As you know I hit 100 videos on YouTube and I wanted people who watch my videos to ask me anything they liked.

I think its a good opportunity for people to get to know and understand the real me.

I am all about putting across that im not a fake, or like to put on a show. I just tell it how it is and just be me.

Allot of people put us'Gurus' ( hate that term by the way!!) in the same kind of group! We are all SOOOO different and people need to realise this!

If you want to learn more about why I love make-up so much or what my up bringing was like then have a look below.

I hope you enjoy watching it and getting to know me and look forward to more videos with me.

Much Love

2012-06-26T11:45:00.000+01:00

I can't quite believe it... 100 videos on YouTube.

This video was to thank everyone who has ever supported my channel and helped me get to where I am today. Its so true that without you guys I wouldn't of even bothered to upload. Its such a nice feeling knowing that people enjoy watching them and learning from me.

I dedicate this video to you! Feel free to ask me anything you want. Even if it's what my favourite meal? or movie etc! I want everyone to get to know me a little bit better.

I have had some amazing comments so far however plan on doing the answers tonight for everyone... so if you want to leave a comment feel free by 6pm tonight 26th June.

Beauty Product Rave: Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

2012-06-21T12:00:00.000+01:00

Travel size on the left - Full size product on the right

Good afternoon beauts

This post is going to be about Clarins Beauty Flash Balm Instant Radiance Booster. Just the name makes me want to purchase this item.... Instant Radiance Booster.. YES PLEASE!

What the experts have to say:

The ultimate pick-me-up for tired, stressed skin—Clarins best-selling radiance booster helps eliminate signs of fatigue in a flash! Instantly moisturises, brightens and tightens facial contours so skin looks rested and relaxed. Olive and Witch Hazel extracts help smooth the skin’s surface, diffusing the look of lines and wrinkles. Soothing Bisabolol helps restore skin’s youthful glow. Preps skin for perfect make-up application and hours of luminous wear.

Winner of Best Treatment Product

Psychologies Positive Beauty Awards 2011

Winner of Best in Beauty Icon Award - W&H Reader Choice

Woman & Home Best in Beauty 2012

What I say:

I have never been into skin care at all until I started my make-up course with London Muse. I was introduced to Beauty Flash Balm and I haven't put it down since.

I cannot hype up this product enough! I have never been once for gimmicks such as youth serums and amazing line disappearing creams blah blah blah... HOWEVER you really do feel the product sink into the skin and really smooth out those lines.

It makes your skin feel really soft and awake and is a PERFECT barrier for any makeup to lay ontop of.

It doesn't mix with foundation at all which is a god send as a mixing moisturiser with foundation look... isn't the way forward!!.

You use an almond size of product and gently wipe over the face as a moisturiser.

It glides onto the skin lovely and once absorbed it doesn't leave a sticky texture to the skin at all.

You can purchase it from here
£28.00!!

I am yet to use it as a face mask so this I will definitely test out next!

This in my eyes is a must have product that I will always use on myself and my clients as a base.

Have you ever used it? How did you find it?

Fridays Face 8th June 2012

HUGE Makeup Haul | MAC, Illamasqua, Charles Fox

2012-05-29T20:42:00.001+01:00

Hello beauties!

So my absences has pretty much been down to me being super busy with attending Muse and going on holiday etc however I am back and need to get back into the blogging spirit! I have just posted up some lovely cosmetics from Paul & Joe for people to have a read about so i'm getting there =)

Anywhooo so when I attended London Muse we had a shopping day which was basically a day of filling up our kits. I managed to take full advantage of this day and grab all the discounts that I could get my hands on. We visited MAC and then onto Illamasqua and finally onto Charles Fox.

I did do some cheeky instagram pictures of my purchases...

However if you want to see an in-depth video... you're in luck. I posted one last night. It is a bit lengthy so sit back with a cuppa and enjoy!

Lots of love to you all,

Paul & Joe | Shakespear's Midsummer Nights Dream Collection

2012-05-29T20:36:00.000+01:00

Hello everyone.

I'm backkkkk.. sorry for disappearing!

Last week I was invited to the Paul & Joe event to showcase their new collection Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights Dream and boy.... is it pretty.

I love the way the cosmetics are designed. So much thought has gone into every little detail and it really makes it stand out from other brands.

They have released a number of new products such as:

Shimmering Pressed Powders £22

Shimmering Body Lotion £24

Face Colour £15

Lip Gloss £15

Nail Enamels £10.50

Limited Edition Self Eye Colout £12.50 each

Blotting Paper Refill £3.50

All of which can be found on their website here

They have also launched some BEAUTIFUL skin care products. They are formulated to protect treat and soothe the skin.

They have the following on sale now:

Light Cleansing Milk £16.50

Treatment Serum £28.00

Moisture Lotion £22.00

Below are some images of a few products I was lucky enough to receive to review:

First up is the green, yep you heard me, green lip gloss! This gloss is called Fairie Kisses (002) it appears translucent on the lips with a light green apple and vanilla scent to refresh your lips. It works with the natural tones of your lips to create your own little gloss!!

This little beauty is one of their Face Colours. The lighter shade can be used as a highlight and the pink as a lovely shade of blusher on the apples of the cheeks. A very light coverage when applied right to give a lovely 'english rose' flush to the face. It comes in 10 different shades.

Here we have a gorgeously designed Moisture Lotion has the most amazing fresh scent of oranges to it. good enough to eat. It leaves the skin feeling very fresh and firm. It leaves your skin with a lovely glow, whilst it works its magic to hydrate , firm and brighten up the skin.

Lastly, a really cutely designed nail file and some blotting paper. I have personally never bothered with blotting paper but after seeing how fresh it can make your face look after a few little dabs... I HAVE BEEN CONVERTED!! No more sweaty face on the train for moi.

The full range of Paul & Joe | Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights Dream Collection will be available from 1st june from beautybay,com and also in stores such as Harrods and Fenwick.

They also showed us some amazing nail polishes which Charli was luckily enough to get her hands on so keep and eye out for a post from here!!

Mwah much love

SORRY..... I'm Rubbish

2012-05-02T09:23:00.001+01:00

How rubbish am I?

My last post was forever ago and there hasn't really been much of an excuse to give.... so i'll start this post by saying I'm Sorry.

I guess I had a busy April but fear not.... I'm going to fill this post full of everything you have missed and what is coming up in the world of Blushblendbeauty.

On the 19th April I went away on holiday to Turkey and stayed in an apartment in Side, and it was just an awesome break away. I went with my sister Nicola, her husband Josh and bump.... (baby on the way!!)

Was so relaxing.... Minus the nightmare journey we had going out there...

ENOUGH TO PUT ANYONE OFF FLYING FOR LIFE I PROMISE YOU.

After take off (which im not a fan of anyway) there was an almighty crash sounds and a very bright flash of light through the cabin.... I kid you not.... I shat my pants! (not literally) The plane had just been struck by lightning. The pilot confirmed this like 30 MINUTES AFTER IT HAPPENED... cheers. Reassured us everything was ok and that this does sometimes happen. After about another hour of flying the pilot tells us that we are turning around and heading back to Gatwick as it is standard procedure to get the plane checked over.

Of course this was a huge kick in the crutch but hey... better to be safe than sorry. So off we trot to Gatwick... only to sit on the tarmac for 5 hours!! They changed crew, refuelled, changed pilots the whole lot.... it actually gets worse that they run out of food once back up in the the air and being that my sister and the lady in front were pregnant I was fuming!!!

WHAT A START TO A HOLIDAY RIGHT???

Any who here are some snaps for you all to take a gander at =)

Nesquick Cereal before we fly - Excited car journey to gatwick - pasty legs desperate for a tan - holiday gel nails

Nicola and Bump tanning nicely - Tortoise having dinner with us - Josh posing... =/ - Nicola and Me

Sun in the face - Me and Nicola Sunset - Sisters <3 - Beautiful dinner scenes.

On Friday 4th May I am actually off to Athens with JPs entire family ( all 8 of us!!) for a long weekend which came as such a nice surprise really. Never been to Greece and i'm looking forward to hoovering up some more sunshine in my life.

On Monday 7th May - Sunday 20th I am attending the London Muse Foundation to Advanced Make-up Course which I am SUPER excited about. Nothing better than furthering your knowledge in a subject you truly enjoy doing. I have asked to take photos and vlog the days so hopefully this is ok to do so keep your eyes pealed for footage/blogs from the classes.

Because of the busy times ahead Blogging and Videos on youtube will be minimal. I am going to try my very best to record in the evenings and blog my days at London Muse so any support will be greatly appericated during these up and coming weeks.

I do have 2 newish videos up for you already also explaining what i'm up to:

Update about my course, Turkey holiday and Race for Life

April Favourites and a little update at the end.

WOAH this post is huge. Must be making up for my neglect.

I do have some products that have been sent to me to review whilst I was away so hope to get these up asap too!

SOOOOOO..... (fingers hurt now) until my next post I shall speak to you all very soon.

Thank you so very much for your continued support with my blog and YouTube even though there hasn't been much material recently.

MUCH LOVE AS ALWAYS

Natalie xxxx

TopShop LipSticks

2012-03-01T20:21:00.000+00:00

Evening everyone.

Last weekend I went to Gilgamesh and decided that for once I wanted to wear lipstick. Now, I am just not a 'lippie kinda gal'. I LOVE my glosses, but this is only because lipstick scares me... yep you heard me.

It can bleed and smudge so easy etc however I bit the bullet and had a little look in Topshop. I literally fell in love with their lipstick range. The most beautiful colours, however I feel there could be allot more.

These lipstick all cost me £8.00 each and can be bought from here

I badly wanted a gorgeous Red colour as I decided that I was doing minimal eyes so wanted a WHAM with the lips.

The first colour I picked up was called Hazard and it is a very deep looking red rather than a bright shade. I already had a pencil to match and thought... what the hell just go for it...

This colour was gorgeous and it did last me most of the night, I did apply a gloss over the top.

HOWEVER... this triggered 2 more impulse buys of lippies that I didnt needs. WHOOOOPPS!

These next to colours are gorgeous!!! Screams to me hello spring/summer =)

All about me... what a perfect name! This is my favourite shade that I bought. Such a gorgeous colour. It is a Matte finish so I will definitely be pairing this up with a gloss, however it is Matte moisturising so may give it a chance on it own first.

And last up is....

Ohh la la. It's a gorgeous coral colour, very moisturing as you can see in the picture which I do like but a little worried about staying power? It does say that it is a velvet finish so I will need to put this to the test!

What's your favourite colour from the Topshop range?

Neom Luxury Organics 'Happiness' Candle

2012-02-28T20:40:00.000+00:00

Now let me start by saying..... I HAVE NEVER SMELT ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEAUTY!

I am all into my candles, especially Yankie Candles but this is totally different. This seems to really appeal to me when I want to wind down and relax.

The packaging is soo lovely, clean and crisp looking. The candle itself is held in a clear glass however you can buy a candle cap from Neom for the candles to sit on so it doesn't heat up your bedside table for £10.00.

Product - NEOM Luxury Organics candles are made using only vegetable wax and pure essential oils rather than synthetic fragrances so they burn without releasing harmful pollutants, toxins or soot. They work as powerful holistic treatments as you breathe in the scented air.

Loving the fact that this appeals to me as an holistic treatment rather than just another scented candle

Fragrance - A sparkling blend of White Neroli, Mimosa and Lemon is combined with natural fresh grass notes to create the awakening of spring.

I have to totally agree, it makes me feel fresh and smiley and really reminds me of spring time and flowers blossoming etc! Amazing how lighting 3 candle wicks can totally take you away for a moment!

Treatment - This lively blend of happy notes will make you smile, take the weight off your shoulders and sprinkle a little joy into your world.

*All information can be found on their website link*

Now the price of these candles are £37.50 directly from their website. It is a little too pricey however the size of the candle, i'm pretty sure it will last you at least more than a month (if you burn it every few days for a few hours)

It does say to light for a MINIMUM of 2 hours to make sure that the wicks burn evenly so that you get the most from your candle and also for a MAXIMUM of 4 hours.

Just soo relaxing to watch! And again, another perfect pressie for Mummy on mothers day! =)

Have you ever tried these candles?

What's in a MUA's train case?

2012-02-22T14:00:00.000+00:00

Afternoon beauties!

Ever wondered what a Make-up Artist carries around in their train cases for photo shoots and make overs?

I have had a few requests on YouTube and took to twitter to see if anyone wanted a video and the answer was YES!

I put this together last night so apologies if it seems rushed at all however I though it would be a good insight into the types of products I use etc.

As you know the products would vary depending on the specification / location. It just happens that the last shoot I completed with a neutral look =)

Hope you find this interesting, any questions or comments leave below for me!

MUA & LoveHearts Collaboration (with swatches)

2012-02-10T14:42:00.003+00:00

On Wednesday I attend the MUA and LoveHearts event at The Piccadilly Institute... what a venue! Great views!

Anywho.... the new MUA products were nicely displayed round the room and I was excited to get a closer look as some of the products I have seen on their Facebook page and taste those amazing cupcakes!! Nummy!

Here are some photo's of the new products that were on display for us to play with.

I am LOVING these lip balms. How cute are they. They remind me of the sleek pout polishes however allot cheaper.£2.00 a tin... awesome!

The whole collection

Sweet Kiss

Sugar Lips

Kiss me

I am super impressed with these 3 in 1 Contour pens. The 'gunmetal' colour is to die for. Such a gorgeous pigment colour and all the shades smudge really nicely so you could even create yourself a smoky eye with just one pen... amazing!! These are £1.50

I did try out the BB cream but unfortunately I wasn't too impressed with the texture, or the smell of the product. The BB cream works well with the skin tones, however it left my skin feeling quite sticky afterwards and the smell was very over powering for me. Something that I wouldn't consider buying myself however other people tried it and loved it. For the small price of £4 I would recommend that you at least give it ago in store!

The Nail varnishes were GORGEOUS!! screaming our spring time with the pastels. Looks like I'm really going to have to make a conscious effort to grow mine and stop biting so I can wear these. The packaging really reminds me of Models Own varnishes but again.... CHEAPER to buy which is always a winner! :)
£2.00 each

They also have a lovely glittery selection of nail quake polishes... oooo shiny!!!

Swatches of U R FAB and U ROK

Last but not least MUA have released an Out There Lip Plumping Lip Gloss selection.

I HEART THESE!! First of all I didn't think it was working, however leave it on around 20-25 seconds and you will start feeling a tingle!! The colours are amazing as well, defo a favourite product of mine. These retail at just £2.00 each!!!

Candy Pink

Shocking pink

Pink Sugar

Nude

Overall the new products from MUA working with LoveHearts is just amazing! The products are fantastic and at such an amazing price its just a steal you cant not buy!!

You can pick up most of these products in your nearest superdrug store from Mid February or online at www.muastore.co.uk

Mini Shoe Haul!

2012-01-31T19:20:00.001+00:00

Hey lovelies..

Hope your all feeling better than I am right now ( stinking cold ) blergh!

However today a package was delivered to my mums and it had made my day.

Now if you REALLY know me, you will know I will do ANYTHING to not wear heels for the night as they hurt, always have a fear of falling over haha and just want to enjoy myself without my feet killing me (worst girl EVER!)

BUT.... after being shown this website, thanks Gracie I ended up purchasing these two babies. One of them is a dupe for Jeffrey Campbells Litas at half the price which is amazing. The other pair are just some FIERCE heels filled with spikes all over the heel.

Let's say I can't wait to try and rock these ones night... and not fall over haha.

Skin Care & Covering Up Spots!

2012-01-25T20:18:00.002+00:00

Hey guys, so you may have seen me tweet recently that my skin is soooo bad this year so far.

I have had this kind of 'mini' break out on my chin area and I decided that something had to be done.

I am not into skin products WHAT SO EVER. I literally wash my face with soap and hardly EVER moisturise!... I KNOW... SOO WRONG!

So I have now got myself into a little routine of using some spot fighting treatments and below are my results.

I have started using simple spotless skin triple action face wash and moisturiser.

It promises to have an effect from day 1 and it honestly does.

Now I apologise for the graphic pictures below of my breakout!! However its the best way to show you the results.

Day 1 of the dreaded breakout

Day 2 MASSIVE DIFFERENCE!!

As you can see just from ONE days use I have amazing results.

If you want to buy this, I bought mine from sainsburys and would highly recommend the product for little blemishes and redness.

I have also uploaded a video of how I cover up my spots/blemishes and here is a photo below.
