La Bamba! Benefit's Bella Bamba Blusher Review & FOTD...

Good morning my lovelies! Most unusually found myself up at the crack of dawn with the birdies this morning, how unnatural. Waking up before ten at least on a Saturday is sacrilege in my book so may have to counter this with a good ol' nap sesh laters, god bless nap times ;)

I have a bit of a bad habit where I tend to wear the absolute bejesus out of a particular favorite make-up product of the moment, thus proceeding to forget & neglect all the other little pretties tucked away in my make-up drawer, bad Aysh! This is something I definitely plan on changing as there are many other goodies in there that need some lovin! Through all this however, I often re-discover some beautiful products that I absolutely loved & still do, one such product being the gorgeous Bella Bamba Blush from Benefit :)

I do adore Benefit make-up, even though they ARE on the slightly more expensive end of high street make-up, they really have some lovely products not to mention the gorgeous packaging! A few firm favorites of mine from their range are the YouRebel Tinted Moisturiser, Eye Bright Pencil & Cha Cha Tint, & I think I can definitely add Bella Bamba to the ever growing list too!

 

Bella Bamba (RRP £23.50) is a mighty puuurdy watermelon pink blush with the prettiest shimmering gold undertone. It comes in the cutesy, though perhaps not exactly travel friendly, box packaging with a flip lid that even has a little mirror inside! As with the other Benefit blushers, this also comes with a brush but I've never really found them easy to use opting to just use my own, however this one seems a lot more rounder & softer too. 

 

Bella Bamba also has a delightfully pleasant scent to it & is beautifully pigmented, so I like to start off with a light dusting on the apples of the cheeks, which can always be built up on for a stronger colour. I was slightly worried at the golden sparkle in there being a tad too much, but once on the cheeks it gives a really nice shimmer & would look fab on all skin tones! Here's a little smokey golden eye FOTD where I've used it on thy cheeks...

Such a pretty pink it is, I shall definitely be rotating my blushers more regularly & getting a lot more usage out of this baby! Other products used in the FOTD were No7BB Cream, all of the eyeshadow shades in the 2^nd row of my VIVO Unprotected Palette, Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner & No7Fanomenal Mascara

Bella Bamba retails for £23.50 & is available to purchase from Benefit counters & online. Have you tried Bella Bamba? What's your favorite Benefit Blush?

Lotsa love to ya!
