Too Faced Peach Mist Mattifying Setting Spray Review and Photos

Too Faced Peach Mist Mattifying Setting Spray 
These days I cannot live without a setting spray to complete my make-up look, however, with so many now available it's a tough decision to find the right one that helps not only lock down your makeup but work best with your skin type too. Last year I discovered the Too Faced Peach Mist Mattifying Spray that's infused with Peach and Sweet Fig Cream this mattifying setting spray claims to help control oil and lock down your makeup, which sounds good to me, so here are my thoughts...
Price
This retails for $32 for 120ml and at the moment is only available in the US here*, although Sephora does ship to the UK so you may be able to order this from Sephora if you live in the UK, however, I'm not a 100% on this.
Packaging
I totally adore both the box and bottle packaging as it's eye-catching, pretty and so cute!
Application
On the box, it is recommended you shake the bottle well and spray 6-8 inches away. Upon application, the peach scent as the name suggests can be slightly overpowering and may not be to everyone's tastes. but if you're a fan of any of the other products from the Sweet Peach line then you'll love this.  The spray nozzle was great as it evenly distributed the product well although I did notice it had left a few speckles of the spray on my makeup initially, however, I did think this may be because I had sprayed it a little too close and so next time I made a conscious effort to spray this further away to prevent soaking the skin which seemed to solve the problem.

This is a Mattifying Setting Spray, but I wouldn't say this was a totally matte formula as I still felt it looked a tad glowy but on the whole, this had a nice finish to it.
Longevity
I wore my makeup for 12 hours total and I would say the spray helped make it stay relatively matte, but I do find the way that works best for me personally is by spraying one light layer after I've finished applying my foundation and then another at the end when I've compleated all of my makeup.
Overall Thoughts
Ok I have to say I really wanted to like this spray more as the packaging was beautiful, it sprayed evenly and it was comfortable and relatively mattifying, however, comparing this to my beloved Urban Decay All Nighter this hasn't quite got it in terms of being long-lasting and helping control my shine fully right up until the end of the night. The Peach Mist does contain 2ml extra for the same price as the Urban Decay versions but I think honestly I haven't found anything that quite tops the family of setting sprays Urban Decay has to offer.

What do you guys think have you tried either the Too Faced Peach Mist or the Hangover 3 in 1 Replenishing Primer and Setting Spray how do they compare to the Urban Decay versions, I'd love to know your thoughts...

I award the Too Faced Peach Mist Mattifying Setting Spray a 3.9 out of 5

My Everyday Makeup Routine - No Foundation Required!

Everyday Makeup Routine
When it comes to make-up, I think you've gathered by now I'm a total make-up junkie of course! The weekends are usually for me when I have the most time to play around with make-up to create new looks and test out products. But for the week days, I tend to stick to a minimal routine which involves no foundation, as I like to let me skin breath. My everyday makeup mainly consists of a neutral brown eye, a bit of bronzer, blush and a lip balm, the only thing I always do fully everyday is my brows (you got to have those brows on fleek!) So today I wanted to share with you my everyday make-up routine to show you that you don't always need a foundation to look your best, it's just about a good skincare routine and a kick ass concealer!

What's your go to makeup staple you can't live without everyday?

Too Faced Love Flush Blush Review and Photos

Too Faced Love Flush Blush
Over the past few years Too Faced have had some amazing new releases, which didn't help with my ever-growing obsession with make-up and cute packaging! Following on from my last review on the Melted Lipsticks, comes the adorable looking Love Flush Blushers. These cute heart shaped blushers come in six shades and claim to be budge proof for up to 16 hours. I picked up the shade How Deep is Your Love, so here's my thoughts.
Price
These retail for £20 for 6g of product. As I mentioned above there is six wearable shades that make up the Love Flush Collection including, Justify My Love, How Deep is Your Love, Your Love is King, I Will Always Love You, Baby Love and Love Hangover.
Packaging
Everything about these blushers from the box to the compact is charming! Each box is adorned in gold and the colour that represents the blush inside, it also has a nice description on the back about the blush, along with the name of each on the top of the packaging.
The compact is heart shaped and again is the colour of the blush inside. There is also a mirror which is great for on the go touch-ups. The actual blusher is also etched with a beautiful design and at first I couldn't bear to use this as I didn't want to rub of the gorgeous pattern!
Application
As I mentioned above I picked up the shade How Deep Is Your Love which is a peachy, coral with a pink undertone, it's also more of a matte shade. The texture of this blush is beautifully soft and highly pigmented and upon application this colour defiantly added a pop of colour to my cheeks with only one swipe. But although this colour was buildable, I did find it a little hard to blend evenly.
Longevity
For me this didn't last all day and all night and although I did still have visible colour by the end of the night, it had faded quite a lot and didn't look as vibrant as it did when I first applied it in the morning. So if you are going out at night after work or something, I would recommend taking the compact with you to touch up for the evening.

Overall Thoughts
The Love Flush blushers are a totally adorable collection of wearable shades, with the cutest packaging I have ever seen! The shade I picked up had lovely pigmentation and was buildable too, it's just a shame the wear time and blendability was not as great as I hoped, considering the price of these blushers.

So if your a big fan of Too Faced or a sucker for packaging, then these may be a nice addition to your make-up collection, but if your not willing to pay £20 for a blusher, then there is defiantly a great selection of long-wearing blushers available on the market that do an equally good job.

I award the Too Faced Love Flush Blush 3.9 out of 5
