By Terry Touche Veloutee

By Terry Touche Veloutee £35.00

 

By Terry Touche Veloutee is a concealor and highlighter in one. Created by Terry de Gunzberg (the clever clogs behind YSL Touche Eclat), this concealor has had rave reviews in the blog world, so I thought that I would jump on the band wagon and see what all the big fuss was about.

Yes! Everything good you hear about this product is true. Nothing has been exaggerated in the slightlest. I bought this a few months ago form Space NK and have fallen in love with it ever since.

I only pull out this 'big gun' out for night outs, purely because of the hefty price tag (£35.00-Eeeek!). It does everything I want a concealer to do. It covers my under eyes, without looking cakey. It conceals, correct, highlights and brightens all in one swipe (or two!) and is STILL able to look very natural. It is long lasting and doesn't crease. Perfect!

The texture and consistency is not that creamy. In fact, its quite thin actually. Compared to all my other concealers (Mac, Laura Mercier, Dior and Benefit) I would say that this is my absolute favourite.

I think she's a keeper!

Do you have the Touche Veloutee? What do you think?

Have a great day!

Douceur, Darling!

Nars Douceur £21.50

 

This interesting little blush was given to me as a birthday present recently. I actually cannot believe that I don't have a Nars blusher amongst my never ending stashes of blushers. I really don't know why, when I swatch at the counter, I have really loved the soft, buttery texture it gives. Hmm, interesting.

Well, I have one now! WOOP!

When I swatched this on my hand, I didn't know want to think. It didn’t really show up and looked rather bland. However, and i mean HOWEVER! When applied to the cheeks brownish/pink tones all came together to produce this subtle, silent sculpt. I swear it’s magic!

The Longevity is 'totes amaze'. I managed to get a good eight hours wear (I even went to the gym!), and if you're a lazy girl like me and cannot be bothered to top up your make-up during the day, you will find that this is a good thing.

It is a matte finish. This shade probably won't really show up on darker skin tones. It just about shows up on me. I, personally use it as a contour.

Nars - Douceur

Do you have any Nars blushers?

Have a great day
