MAKEUP GEEK BLUSH IN ROMANCE: REVIEW, PHOTOS & SWATCHES

Makeup Geek Blush in Romance ($12.99 for 4.25g.) is a beautiful peachy-rose with golden shimmer. The pigmentation is wonderful and it's got a creamy and silky smooth texture, which blends flawlessly onto the cheeks giving you that beautiful and radiant looking glow.

Romance comes in a simple but very cute compact, which feels dense and very sturdy. It's got a clear lid which is awesome, because it allows you to see the true color of the blush without having to open it up. The compact is very slim so you can easily fit it in your daily handbag/makeup bag for any touch ups throughout the day. It's also designed to be easy to open up and de-pot just in case you want to put it in a palette.

I really adore this blush from Makeup Geek. It reminds me a lot of Hot Mama by theBalm, which has been one of my favorite blushes for a very long time. Hot Mama is a little darker than Romance, but they look almost identical when they are swatched next to each other. I'm so excited to have found another blush that I'm head over heels in love with. Romance is a beautiful blush that gives the cheeks that gorgeous flushed look that I love so much, it's now a staple and a must have in my makeup bag! :-)

MONTHLY FAVORITES: MAY 2015

June is right around the corner, which means that it's time for me to share the beauty items that I have been loving this month. May has been a good month! It's one of my favorite months, because it's when it finally starts to get warmer outside. Everything starts to blossom and grow and the sun is shining all day long.

I hope you enjoy this favorites post and that you find a couple of products that you want to try out for yourself, maybe even some old favorites that you might have forgotten all about. So without any further ado, here are the items that I have been enjoying in May! :-)

 ♥ Escada Marine Groove, (HERE).

Escada Marine Groove is one of my favorite perfumes for Spring and Summer. It has a very fresh, sweet and fruity scent, which is perfect for this time of the year. I have been reaching for it non-stop since the beginning of April and I just can't seem to get enough of it. Unfortunately, I think it has been discontinued because I can't find it in stores anymore. I have seen it on eBay, but it's quite expensive for a bottle there. I don't have much left, so I really want to get my hands on a new one. Do you know any websites that still have this perfume in stock? Thank you so much! :-)

 Bottega Verde Liminous Pearly Make-Up Base with Peach Kernel Oil and Vitamin E, (HERE). 

Another favorite of mine during May has been the Luminous Pearly Make-Up Base with Peach Kernel Oil and Vitamin E by the brand Bottega Verde. I like the beautiful glow that it gives my skin, while evening out the complexion at the same time. I like to mix it with my foundation, which creates the most beautiful, natural looking glow. It can also be used as a primer before applying your foundation or even as a liquid highlighter if you want. I also like to use it on my cheekbones on days that I'm not wearing any makeup on my face, it instantly makes me look more fresh and awake! :-)

A product that I have been reaching for and enjoying a lot during May is the Makeup Geek Blush in Romance. Romance is a beautiful peach blush with golden shimmer. It reminds me a lot of Hot Mama by theBalm, which is one of my all-time favorite blushes. Romance is more peach while Hot Mama is more on the pink side. Romance is the perfect blush for everyday. It's got great pigmentation and it's very easy to blend as well. It leaves behind a very fresh and glowy look, which is perfect for this season! :-) 

♥ Benefit Cosmetics Erase Paste in Fair, (HERE). 

A beauty product that I have re-discovered my love for in May is the Erase Paste by Benefit Cosmetics. The Erase Paste is a concentrated cream concealer for bright and smooth under eyes. My favorite way to use it is to start by applying it under my eyes first, then go over it with my concealer afterwards. The Erase Paste is easy to blend and it doesn't look too heavy under the eyes. It covers up dark circles and discoloration quite nicely, while brightening up the under eye area and making you look more awake. It has a pinky tone to it, which is going to neutralize any bluish/greenish veins and under eye circles.

I highly recommend that you check out Erase Paste by Benefit Cosmetics, a little goes a long way with this product! I'm not sure if Benefit Cosmetics give out samples of their Erase Paste, but if they do you should totally try and get your hands on one to see if you like it or not. It's a big favorite of mine, two thumbs up from me! :-)

What products have you been loving this month? Have you tried out any of the products that I mentioned above? What product has been your most reached for product in May? :-)
