MWS Christmas Gift Guide & Best of 2009: Spare no blushes!

December 7, 2009 Paris B 11 Comments

guide_blush

Blush is my favourite makeup item and 2009 saw some gems that make excellent gifts too! Some however aren’t around anymore which is a bummer, unless you can still get them at the counters.

The Revlon Matte blush is a great drugstore find as is the Maybelline Angelfit line of blushes. Excellent inexpensive stocking stuffers that actually work well and for which your friends might just thank you for them!

Benefit threw up a winner in Coralista which is an amazing blush that could suit most people. This applies too to the Dior Bronze Harmonie Rose Brazilia blush/bronzer that came out in Summer – if you can still find it, get it!

I haven’t reviewed it but the Lancome Blush Subtil powder blushes are pretty good too. I’ve been using the ones I have but forgot to tell you about them haha!

If you want to add that touch of highlight to your skin, MAC Porcelain Pink mineralize skin finish and Dior Shimmer Powder Rose Diamond are must haves! In fact, Rose Diamond is something I use every time I have makeup on. Its become a staple for me. 🙂

What’s your favourite blush, bronzer or highlighter of 2009?

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

    I’m currently loving my Superdupernatural mineralize blush from MAC… i have to fight the temptation to reach for it everytime i put on makeup lest i neglect my other blushes! lol!! 😀

    But my to-go blush for this year is the NARS Deep Throat blush!! It’s a failproof one for me!! 😀

    Paris, you’re spot on with Revlon Matte and Lancome Blush Subtil – they’re amazing, aren’t they! I also love Laura Mercier’s powder blusher, M.A.C’s Mineralize Skin Finish and Guerlain’s Russian Doll Radiant Blush. Ooh, and Estee Lauder’s Signature Creme blush!

    don’t get me started on blushes… If I pick one I might feel guilty that I’m being biased towards my other blushes.
    Can’t stop snickering at the fact that you got MAC. AND it made it to this post! 😀

    I don’t have any specific favorite blush..right now I’m using Estee Lauder, Revlon and Mac. mix n match…
    Normally, all blusher works the same..just don’t always touch your cheeks once u put the blush on!

    Ooooh. BLUSH! =P

    When it comes to pink blushers, I gotta give it to theBalm’s Down Boy. I think it’s been a real winner this year. Kahani says I’m evangelising it. =P

    As for corals or peaches, hmm…. let me think about it a little while more. *tee hee*

Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the ma Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the marula tree and they’d get drunk 🤣 Trying out this #drunkelephant Marula oil. Very popular but worth the hype? On the blog!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
