Illamasqua Naked Rose blush



This is the first Illamasqua product I have ever tried! This blush in particular has been on my wishlist for a while, so I bought it when it popped up in a blog sale. The shade is Naked Rose and one I think looks so pretty.
 
This is a powder blush and the texture is lovely and creamy. It's so soft and blendable, plus the colour is gorgeous. It's a neutral pink which looks so natural and leaves my cheeks looking healthy.
 
What's your favourite Illamasqua product? I would love to try some more.

Clarins Graphic Expression powder




You may have seen this beautiful product popping up recently (here and here), so I thought I would write a full review for you. I received this for Christmas and it is so pretty. I love that Clarins products always come in lovely velvet pouches and the outside of this is like a mirror!
 
This is the Clarins Graphic Expression powder which is made up of pinks, bronzes and a little bit of glitter. The gold strip of shimmer on this left my skin quite glittery, however thankfully it goes after a couple of uses. Whilst the gold was still coming onto my brush, I found this too glittery to bring onto my temples as a bronzer.
 
Once the glitter had gone, I started using this more often and love it! It is made up of beautiful bronze and pink tones, which compliment each other and my skin really well. I find this very versatile, as I can use all the shades equally to add some colour all over my face, or focus more on the pinks for a rosy blush on my cheeks. 
 
I find this starts off light and is very buildable. I like this as I am fairly pale, so don't like something too heavy. This adds a lovely, natural glow to my skin, which I can easily build up if I would like to look more bronzed. This always leaves my skin looking natural and radiant, however much I build it up!
 
Have you tried this? I would love to know if you have used any similar products which I could try.
