Saturday night is alright

Getting my daily dose of Vitamin D

Here's a look at what I'm wearing this evening.

• Lips: Dior's Fluid Stick in Pandore (applied for the first time today); review to follow
• Cheeks: Becca's Damselfly 
• Eyes: NARS Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Himalia and Clinique's Lash Power Mascara

Oh and I'm testing Laura Mercier's Silk Creme Foundation and Mineral Primer, too.

Got any special plans on this fine weekend?

A peek at the cheeks: Becca's Mineral Blush in Damselfly

Becca's Damselfly

Funny thing, but I've never been into entomology -- I think watching the first few minutes of The Silence of the Lambs at a very young age spoiled that particular interest. I did, however, look up what a damselfly is; think of a dragonfly just with different shaped wings and poor flying skills.

The inspiration for Becca's Mineral Blush stems from, perhaps, an interest in flora and fauna; this is my only working theory. 

Damselfly

Swatch of Damselfly

Damselfly is described as a "bright coral", but I get more orange, almost terracotta, than pink on my pale-ish skin.

Here's what Becca has to say about their Mineral Blush:

"Impart a soft halo of color onto the apples of your cheeks with this delicate powder that subtly reflects the light and casts a luminous glow. Formulated with a natural mineral complex and infused with antioxidant vitamins A, E, and C, this blush nourishes and conditions skin for a smooth, illuminated complexion." 

Becca's Mineral Blush range is extremely similar to NARS in terms of price point, texture, quality, colour build-ability and payoff. 

Wearing Damselfy on my cheeks

Damselfly gives you a peachy keen, fresh off the beach glow that lasts all day.

A top tip from Becca: "Layer over Beach Tint for added intensity."

The Bagful breakdown:

Total amount for Becca's Mineral Blush in Damselfly:

• $50.00 AUS / $32.00 USD 

Value for money spent (performance and quality):

• 8 out of 10 bags — Pricey, but worth it.

Would another purchase be on the horizon?:

• Mineral Blush in both Gypsy and Flowerchild are my next two targets.
