A Make Up Post

I am by no means a beauty blogger, I'll make that clear from the start! I love makeup, but over the last couple of years have spent less and less time trying new products and generally making much of an effort. Recently I've found myself getting sucked back in to it, and with all the buzz around a few new products, I found myself making a few lunchtime purchases.

Boots 17 Range is a brand I've grown up with, and I hate to admit, become rather snobbish about over the years. Recently they've hopped back on my radar with the release of the magnetic nail polishes (which I have, but haven't reviewed) and the latest beauty buzz...BB cream. I was actually quite surprised to see my tiny, local Boots stock the BB cream; they so rarely get the new items in. They also had the new metallic eyeshadows, and with the lot being on 3 for 2 I grabbed the BB cream and two eyeshadows; the bronze and the silver.
I don't know what I expected from the BB cream, especially compared to my usual foundation, but I do really like how it makes my skin look; smooth and clear. I picked up the light shade and due to my extreme pale-ness I half anticipated turning orange, but this wasn't the case and I will be purchasing this again.
The metallic eyeshadows are lovely. Unlike so many cream eyeshadows they don't crease or slide off during the day. I've been wearing the copper a lot, either on it's own or as a base for powder eyeshadows. Again, I'd re-purchase and will probably pick up more shades.

A few other products I've been loving are L'oreals superliner crystal, which is my dream liquid eyeliner. The crystal effect is subtle; barely metallic and I love it for it's slightly less harsh look.
Rimmel ScandalEyes has become my new HG mascara, the photos above showing just one coat of it. I've already bought a backup.
Blusher wise, I'm loving ELF studio cream blush in flirt. There was much outcry over the price of this, at £6.50 it's one of their more expensive products, but it is hands down the most flattering cream blusher I have ever used!

What products are you loving right now? Which new releases must I try...and which should I ignore?
