essence satin touch blush – Tash
RRP: $5.10
What it is: A silky soft blush which provides a flush of colour for the cheeks and a light-pearl effect.
My experience: This blush was a dream to use with beautiful rich pigments. I usually steer away from warmer shades, however this coral shade is universally flattering and suited my skin tone well. It’s satin texture meant the blush was easily blendable and buildable, and the light-pearl effect also gave my cheeks a subtle highlight. A quality blush at an unbeatable price!

Ulta3 Moisturising Lipstick – Sam
RRP: $3.95
What it is: A moisturising lipstick in the shade ‘flamingo pink’ that adds velvety colour to lips whilst locking in hydration
My experience: This gorgeous hot pink shade is a pop of colour on my lips and leaves my lips feeling super moisturised unlike some other brands. The colour is super glossy and not over the top bright which makes it great for any time of day. Such a great product and price!
