Why Do I Love Makeup?! - Robyn

Hey guys!!

Ok so I thought I'd tell you guys why I'm actually in love with makeup!
I guess most of my reasons stem from the way makeup can transform your face into practically anything. Be it extreme makeup or just your daily makeup routine. I always get really excited when I put on makeup. Even though my daily makeup routine is practically the same each day, the results are always slightly different. It may look brighter one day, or last longer another. Another thing that I like is the vast selection of makeup to choose from.
Another reason why I adore makeup is probably because of Youtube. I could honestly spend HOURS watching beauty gurus on it. I don't ever seem to get fed up of watching how-to's, hauls and monthly favourites. Even though most of the gurus have the same products in their monthly favourites because they get ideas off each other.
Another reason is because I love how the love of makeup brings people together. People could have nothing in common except their love of makeup and suddenly they can talk for hours with each other.
Not only am I obsessed with makeup, but ALL beauty products. Nails, hair products and skincare. I always think that I feel much better when I look better. Call me shallow, but I think all women feel this way!
I hope I've made you feel better about loving makeup too!

REVIEW : CATRICE DEFINING BLUSH (030 love & peach)

Hey guys!

Today I'm going to review and highly recommend the Catrice defining blush! YAY!!
Ok so first of all, let me start  by saying wow. I was completely blown away by how amazing this product is. When I bought this, I was literally going crazy in my local Penneys (Primark in the U.K.!) and I was stocking up on some Essence and Catrice cosmetics. If you guys don't know what Catrice is, it's a fairly cheap makeup brand which does amazing products and I constantly repurchase their products. I was actually in there repurchasing one of their liquid eyeliners, when the row of blush's caught my eye. As you all know, I'm a blush addict! So I couldn't turn down the opportunity to buy another one. I needed a new coral blush so I decided on 030 love & peach. Even though all the other products are quite fab, for some reason I wasn't expecting much of this blusher. Well I was happily blown away. I literally tapped my blush brush into the blush, and was flabbergasted. Honestly. The colour pay-off on my face was unreal. I literally only needed the tiniest bit to get a good colour on my face. It's kind of hard to blend once on the cheeks but if you're careful about how you apply it, it's really an amazing product. I cannot speak highly enough of this blush and I will definitely be going back and buying the other five colours. For under 4euro, its so worth it.

REVIEW : MAC FIX+ SPRAY

Hey guys!

Before I bought this product, I found that my makeup was sliding off my face. Yes I know I have oily skin but even with a long lasting matte foundation, I found that it just didn’t last.

I had read some reviews of this product saying that it didn’t help their makeup stay on for the whole day, it just made their makeup look less cakey if they were wearing powder. I both agree and disagree because I wear powder to mattify my look, and the MAC Fix+ made my face look nice and dewy, while ALSO holding my makeup in place. The staying power of this product is usually only a small bit longer than if you didn’t wear it, but when you spray it on your face, it instantly revives your look, giving you a healthy looking glow. I would HIGHLY recommend this product to people with dry skin as it creates a false look of flawless skin for you. As I said, I have oily skin so I only spray one spray onto my face. If you have oily skin and you prefer a matte look, do not use this product! I really like how easy it is to spray this product onto your face and so far, fingers crossed, the spray hasn't broken on me!

I use this product three different ways. I know, that's amazing! One way is before I do anything to my face, after my moisturiser I spray it onto my face. I let it soak into my skin. I find this helps my moisturiser get really deep into my skin. The second way is if I was mixing two or more foundations together. I'd spray a bit into the cup of my hand, add what ever foundation I wanted to use, mix them together with a clean Q tip and then apply it to my face using whatever tool I feel like using. I find that this mixes the foundations together much better, giving a flawless look. The third way I use this product is to set my makeup. I just spritz it all over my face in one spray, leave it for a few seconds and then you're good to go!

I can honestly say that I look forward each day to spraying this on my face J
