eBay Blusher Palette Review

I don't have much time to write this review but I just had to as I have been waiting weeks for this palette to come through (alongside with some other stuff that I'm still waiting on).

Many of you may have seen this 10 colour blush palette before on EBay and like me, have been wondering whether to purchase it or not. I had spent the best part of a few weeks contemplating whether to buy it, it was only when I saw a you-tuber using it in a make-up tutorial that I decided to get it.

I can't say I was expecting much considering the price of it (£4.68, no postage) but...

The palette comes with 10 different blush shades, ranging from pinks, to corals to more lilac-toned colours which are all gorgeous. There is also a mixture of semi-matte and shimmer finishes which is perfect. The palette is supposedly very similar to the BH cosmetics and the coastal scents blush palettes, but I haven't tried them either.

The colours are highly pigmented and look like they cater for all skin tones. I was worried that the more red orangey colours would look strange; they come off more of a coral colour. 

The palette itself it made from black plastic that feels a little cheap, but what do you expect for its price. 

As it comes from Hong Kong I was a little worried it may arrive in pieces, when I opened the parcel the palette was covered in pink dust, which I was very annoyed with, considering it was bubble wrapped. After opening the actual palette I found the damage to be very minimal and I don't see the point in kicking up a fuss about it.

Delivery wise, for me it took about 2 weeks to arrive but it can take up to 23 working days, so I shouldn't really complain about it.

Overall, I'm ok with my purchase, I wouldn't have paid more for it - and the damage to one blusher doesn't bother me. 

As Bright as the colours seem in the palette, they either give a bronze effect or a rose effect - which is exactly what you want from a blusher.

So, yes, it’s a good buy - and if you’re thinking of experimenting with different blushers, this is a good point palette to start with. 

Mr & Mrs Khan's wedding outfits...

After Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom’s lavish engagement last year, the lovely couple tied the knot at the historic Waldorf Astoria in NYC earlier this week. The walima ceremony is due to take place in the UK later in the week.

The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw their wedding photo's was Jodhaa Akbar – full on Indian royalty theme. No surprises there, considering they are in the Asian community considered royalty. Many have been eagerly waiting for this day like many of us were eager to see Will and Kate tie the knot.

Faryal wore a deep red/orange, heavily embroidered lengha choli – I’m sure a lot of people loved this outfit, I personally felt it had too much kaam, maybe a contributing factor for my opinion was, Amir also wore an equally heavy embroidered outfit (including a sword to complete the Mughul look). Maybe if his outfit was toned down a little I would have preferred hers, but because the outfits were so similar – the eyes just see one (if that makes sense?!)

Faryal is stunningly beautiful, it does not surprise even for a second that she is a model. She has a beautiful face with an amazing smile. We can clearly see why Amir fell for her and why a lot of girls dislike her (but that’s all I’m saying about that).

There is no denying that she wears a lot of make up on an average day – so for her wedding day, there was no holding her back. She has received mixed reviews on her choice of “look”, ranging from “far too much make up” to “she looked amazing”. I will agree with some on the view that, yes her makeup did make her look a lot older than she is. But all that aside, I myself, loved her Arabic inspired cat-eye look – paired with her peach coloured lips and extremely contoured cheek bones. The highlighting was done perfectly to draw attention to her face as her outfit could easily have over powered it.

When looking at her photos, you can’t help but think “wow what a beautiful bride”. I’m looking forward to seeing what they have planned for the walima outfits, I hoping it with be a slightly more elegant, even simple, with a western twist look then the full on Mughal-e-Azam attire.

Let’s just wait and see….
