I'm not usually one to get into make up trends (or any trends for that matter). However as we're now entering Spring/Summer, I do like to change my make up around and try to experiment with colour a bit more. The limited edition No. 7 Vital Brights Spring collection consists of two cream blushes, two lipsticks, a highlighter and an eye palette and with the €7.50 off voucher that is currently running all of the items work out very reasonably. This collection was designed by British make up artist Lisa Eldridge who has worked with No. 7 to make some really amazing products. What's better than make up products designed by someone who uses them every day for their job!
I bought the No. 7 Vital Brights Cream Blush in Blossoming Pink last week after eyeing it up for a while and I wasn't disappointed. The vibrant coral colour may look quite intimidating at first but when blended it gives a gorgeous rosy glow to the cheeks and is the perfect blush for Summer in my opinion. You only really need to tap your finger gently on the blush to get enough colour and you can build it up from there. The blushes and lipsticks retail at about €13.50 and the palette and highlighter at about €16.50.
Here's a video of Lisa Eldridge herself using the other blush colour as the basis for a beautiful fresh summery make up look. I can't recommend her videos highly enough, she has such a huge knowledge base and I just find her so easy and relaxing to watch

you should! it;s really good value with the no 7 vouchers and so creamy and lovely!
DeleteHi Emma, the cream blush looks natural and beautiful on your skin. The packaging was a great design. I have always liked cream blushes, I need to go back to using some ... especially in summer. I am still using my Estee Lauder blush in the compact with the brush. I chose the color "plum". I see what you mean about Lisa being relaxing to watch in her video, so are you. I would like to see you do a post sometime on fragrances, with you listing some of your favorites through the years and some of your current favorites.
ReplyDeleteThank you Emma, hope you are having a wonderful week in Dublin ♥
Thanks for the suggestion Cindy, I will definitely do a fragrance post soon, I've been meaning to for a while because I have a lot of new favourites I'd love to share with you.
DeleteAlso have you heard about the new Esteé Lauder Mad Men collection? It's a lipstick and cream blush in original Estee Lauder packaging and the colours look beautiful!
