AMW Reviews: Rimmel Stay Blushed! Liquid Cheek Tint (Pop of Pink)

I'm on a roll with blush reviews!  I have always been a fan of blush because it gives my pale skin an instant "lift".  Whether I use contouring powder or not, I highly depend on blush to create dimension on my face even casual days.

As soon as I got this product from local reseller Beautycorner.ph  and saw the shade called Pop of Pink, I initially thought: "Not Again!".  As you all know, I may be a fan of "pink ANYTHING" but not when it comes to blush!  Why?  They usually come out too obvious and too fake on my cheeks!  But upon swatching....I had a change of heart.

Rimmel by the way is a UK drugstore brand that has been going around in the blogosphere for quite some time because of it's affordability YET super good reviews!  I haven't tried a lot of Rimmel London products so this actually made me excited!

Rimmel Stay Blushed! Liquid Cheek Tint is housed in a tube almost similar to a lip gloss.

The product description says Lightweight that blends instantly and seamlessly which I knew I had to test it out on our weather.

AMW Version: "A Wash of Colors"

I don't have time to do my make-up every morning!
I am always on a rush but I want to try some colorful eye make-up to brighten up my day!
Summer is color!  I want to put some colors on my face for a "different look"

Those are some of the phrases you'll hear from most woman!  Well, you hear it from me!  There are some days "no make-up" look is not your thing and you want to go for a change!  Today is the day! 

"A Wash of Colors"

I call this a wash of colors as it's not too bright that everyone will stare at you on streets, its just playful and right!  Oh, it's your choice to use an eyelid primer, I did not use any as I don't oil up as much and again, I want to create a wash of colors!  Nothing too vibrant!

I used Shimmer Cubes Palette from The Body Shop for my eye make-up.

Step 1:

Apply this shimmery pink shadow all over lid for a nice wash of pink that sparkles a bit.

Step 2:

Gently brush on Sparkling Sky shade on the outer lid area going inwards.  Add more if you want the color to show!  I am using a tiny blending brush to keep on blending.

Use an pencil brush and also apply the same shade on the lower lash line.

Step 3:

Using a tinier brush, apply the same shade as Step 1 on the inner crease as the blending on Step 2 lighten up the shade. 

Step 4:

Using Revlon Perle Eye Shadow in Sunlit Sparkle, apply the inner corner of the eye including the inner waterline to create bigger, brighter eyes!

Step 5:

Line your eyes with any liner of your choice.  In this tutorial, I am using Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Liner in BL603.

Step 6:

Apply Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil in 021 Denim Blue on the waterline. 

Fill in your brows with your favorite brow pencil or brow powder.  Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara.

This is my final look

Here are the products I used for the rest of my face

Please don't get tired of it!  *laughs*

For the Face:
Majolica Majorca Skin Remaker Pore Cover

in BO10

For the Cheeks:

Paul and Joe Pressed Powder in 004

The bronze-y side to be used as blush and the light side to use for highlighting

For the Lips:

Majolica Majorca Lipgloss in BE706

 

Just fix your hair and head off for a brighter day!  Do not forget to do good deeds to others and smile!  Seriously, it's the best and priceless way to stay young!

Have a gorgeous week ahead!
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

Askmewhats Version: "Darling!, It's Another Black" Look

Black looks dirty...
Black looks dirty-not...

You know what? I don't care! I just want to use this new quad that I got from a dear friend Tine! (Thanks Tine). This is my first Rimmel London e/s palette! I've created yet ANOTHER smokey black look with a bit of twist. If I only use the quad, it looks a li'l bit blah on me so I added something to make it... ahmm... 3 dimensional! LOL So take a scroll down to a smokey black lane and see what I've used to give this look a bit of "oommph"

Final look

Step 1:

Apply MAC Beige-ing Shadestick all over lids. Pat on the Silver Grey color all over lids using Dual Tip e/s applicator.

Step 2:

This is the "different part" I've done, I've used Fasion 21 Stick Eyeshadow in Lagoon and spread it on the crease area going a bit above. Pat on gently with fingers to spread evenly. Apply the darkest shade from the Rimmel London quad using the sponge tip applicator.

Step 3:

Using Yumeko's Styling e/s (thanks girl) , apply the shimmery white shadow on the browbone area going to the inner corner of the eye.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

You can now blend everything using a blending brush
Re-apply specific colors if needed

Step 4:

Apply Coastal Scents gel liner in True Black using White Angled Liner brush (I am starting to love this brush I swear!)

Step 5:

Apply Fashion 21's Lagoon Stick e/s on the lower lash line, apply Urban Decay's ZERO and Yeyo on waterline

Apply your preferred mascara
making sure to curl your lashes
(I need to change my Shu pad soon!)
