Soap and Glory Love at First Blush Review

Hi everyone hope you are enjoying the snow, I am probably in the minority but I really do not like snow, I like how pretty it looks when it first falls but I really dislike the chaos that comes with it.  A few years ago I got stuck on my way home from work in a flurry of snow that resulted in me abandoning my car and walking around 2 miles to get home.

Anyway on with today's blog post, I wanted to share another beauty product with you.
I picked up this Love at First Blush blusher (£11) just after Christmas in a gift set in Boots and I wanted to share it with you as I love it! 

I am a huge fan of Soap and Glory and I usually get the large gift set they put together in the Boots range for Christmas and I was really glad to see it sitting under the Christmas tree again this year.  I haven't used Soap and Glory make up before and I was really impressed with this product.  

The packaging is gorgeous, I really love the vintage style they have gone for.  The packaging is also really durable which is a huge plus point for me as most of the blushers I have previously owned in plastic cases have ended up in pieces as a result of getting bumped in my bag or in my suitcase when travelling.  


The product inside is a wheel of different shades with a shimmer.  When I loaded my brush the first time i used it I could hardly see the colour on the brush, I decided to brush it on my cheeks first before loading more on the brush which was wise as it provided me with a peachy pink glow with a shimmer. A little of this product really does go a long way.  It is perfect for day wear as it is light although it could provide a more intense colour if you layer it up.  



I then used a eyeshadow applicator pad to use some of the lightest colour on the wheel as a highlighter. I placed at the end of my brow line and I also used it on the top of my cheekbones and I was really happy with the results.  

At £11 it is a little more expensive than other brands such as Rimmel and Maybelline however it is much cheaper than some of the higher priced brands.  I always find that Boots often place Soap and Glory on 3 for 2 most of the year so it might be a good product to stock up on some of your usual favourites and get this as part of your offer.  

If you head over to the Soap and Glory blog they are currently running a daily competition.  After that make sure you enter my competition too to win some new jewellery.
