Review: Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Purity

illamasqua 1

This is my first ever Illamasqua Nail Varnish ($14.00 for 0.5 oz.) and I'm so impressed by it's quality, durability, wear and colour. I applied two coats, no base or top coat and the colour intensity is amazing! I received this product on my August Glossybox, see post here.

This highly pigmented varnish applies heavenly and dries really quick. What I like the most is the glossy finish and the smooth visual effect it creates on the nails.  Purity is a subtle peach and it reminded me of bridesmaids dresses I saw earlier on Dolly Pearl. This colour is quite rare in my opinion, and I had nothing compared to it in my polish collection.

Picks: Top 4 Summer Blushes

top4summerblushes1

The truth is, that i wear these blushes all year long, but during summertime i like peachy-rose-coral-pink toned blushes. Also, i enjoy creme blushes since they're very hydrating. I've selected four of my most used blushes, so onto the colours!

Mac Cremeblend Blush in Posey: This is a warm peach and it's very buildable. I love the formula, it's creamy but not sticky and leaves a very natural finish on my cheeks.
Mac Blushcreme in Ladyblush:  I absolutely love this warm neutral coral, it lasts very long and looks very natural. This formula is a little bit more creamy than the Cremeblend blushes.
Mac Mineralize Blush in Gleeful: I love it when blushes have shimmery and golden flicks, Mac describes this blush as deep dirty blue pink with gold pearl. Generally, mineralize blushes are very lightweight and sheer. However, this one has a very good pigmentation (which is good).
NARS blush in Orgasm: And of course, my all time favourite blush (so predictable) Orgasm is peachy pink with golden shimmer. Also mentioned in my June Faves.
