COLLECTION #BLUSHANDGLOW PALETTE REVIEW

There's nothing more satisfying than finding a product that you just absolutely fall in love with and instantly pop it into your make up bag. 

And that's what I've discovered with the new Collection #BlushandGlow palette. Multi purpose, incredible pigment and rather gorgeous looking packaging - all for £4.99? 

Including a matte bronzer, matte pink blusher, shimmer pink blusher and shimmer gold highlighter, this set is all your facial neccessities rolled into one. I simply cannot get enough. 

Since buying this product two weeks ago, I have used it practically everyday and it has become a staple in my everyday basics make up routine. 

So let's start with the packaging. Now even I will admit it's not exactly a handbag size product but I think for the price you get a hell of a lot of incredible product so we can't really moan about that now can we? 

The matte black packaging kind've screams luxury in my eyes. If you've read my KIKO post you'll know how much I go heart eyes over matte black. But I digress. The rose gold writing gives this little wonder palette a feeling of luxury I don't feel you get with other Collection products. 

In my opinion Collection is a highly underrated brand. With incredible pigments at an affordable price, let's just look at the absolute dream that is the Collection lasting perfection concealer - need I say more? Everyone needs to up the amount of Collection in their make up bags.  

As for the colours, these are quite possibly my favourite collection of colours I've found in a palette. Usually there's always one colour that doesn't quite suit you or the colour pay off just doesn't match up to the gorgeous colours you see before your eyes. 

But that's where Collection have got it absolutely spot on. The matte bronzer is a great way of adding just a hint of colour to your cheeks without giving that muddy 'what's that on your cheek' appearance. As well as the highlighter, this gives you that awesome golden LA glow that we all crave! My favourite look at the moment is to use the highlighter and bronzer as eyeshadows for a subtle day look that really requires no effort at all.

The two shades of blush are again a dream. Whether you want just a hint of pink or to go all our and have that really rosy glow, there's a colour in this palette just for you. Each shade is also build-able so you can go for as natural or intense as you like. 

So I think to sum up, high tail your ass to boots PRONTO and pick up the Collection #BlushandGlow palette before it sells out!

MY NEW BEDROOM

A few weeks ago I upped out of Plymouth and high tailed myself into a brand new unfurnished house in Exeter. I'm officially a grown up, paying my own bills, putting the bins out every monday and messing up what they'll take and having to do my own food shopping. 

There's a certain freedom that comes with living away from home that don't get me wrong is wonderful, but it's a hell of a lot more responsability. 

Moving into a new place means that, unlike being a student, I don't have to worry about mould, damp, rats, broken fridges and so much more drama that doesn't help you when you're in your final year at University. My new house is practically flawless. Cream walls, cream carpets and a spanking new kitchen - the absolute dream. 

But moving into an unfurnished property means that I offically have become an adult in possession of my own furniture. Not odd bits and bobs that have come from my parents or pre-owned by the landlord. With the help of my absolute darling of a boyfriend, we built practically the entire IKEA Hemnes set last weekend. 

And so I welcome you to Ally's Bedroom 2.0. 

Enjoy.
