Hello lovely Frills and Spills readers!
I’m Lauren from
www.laurenlovesblog.co.uk
and I love to write about makeup, fashion, hair and crimes of fashion!
I love
Liz Earle skincare, it’s
perfect for my super-sensitive skin, so like most other bloggers I was so
excited to hear they have a new makeup range. Here are my reviews of two
products, the Healthy Glow Powder Blush and the Natural Glow Bronzer.
Liz Earle Healthy Glow Powder Blush
The colour I am reviewing is called Peony and it’s a lovely raspberry pink
which is great for darker skin tones, but I think it looks lovely on pale skin
tones too, a great all-rounder.
The packaging is very sleek and minimalist, a deep blue compact which has
subtle glitter in, and the top features a small mirror which is handy for if
you’re travelling and haven’t got anything to look in.
The powder is super-soft and very finely milled

And gives huge colour payoff
This means the colour is very strong if it isn’t carefully applied, but
once you get used to it, it gives a lovely healthy flush and is easily spread
out. Overall, although I am a high-street make-up lover and wouldn’t normally
dream of paying £16.50 for a blusher, I admit that I don’t want to give this
blusher up!
Product – 8.5/10. Score
could be improved if the price was cheaper!
Liz Earle Natural Glow Bronzer
Being the pale person I am, in the summer I love bronzer! However I
really hate those ones with flecks of glitter in, you know the ones that make
you look like some sort of crazed disco chick who got lost in an office.
Another draw-back of the ones without glitter in though are that they can leave
your skin looking “muddy” and dirty (not sure why...) so I tend to use
Benefit’s Hoola
This bronzer by Liz Earle is a very fine pressed powder which doesn’t
look very dark compared to many other bronzers but don’t let that deceive you.
Again,
the compact is a sleek blue sheen with a mirror. It’s bigger than the blusher
and perfect for popping in your handbag for after work touch-ups. Actually, it
would probably be quite hard to tell your products apart if you owned lots of
Liz Earle makeup!
The powder is again a lovely texture but spreads very well. The colour
payoff is very pale however, but is easily built up.
You can’t see it spread out ,but you can barely see a line created with my
finger at the bottom. However with a build up and a good kabuki brush
it gives a lovely colour!

You can see it gives a lovely natural colour, but
this is about 4 layers to demonstrate the colour! It’s perfect for very pale
girls or people who want a subtle wash of colour. I absolutely love it, I don’t
look muddy or dirty, but have a healthy “week in Spain” glow. It’s brilliant
for sensitive skinned girls like me who don’t want to put fake tan on their
faces in case we get spots! The bronzer is cheaper than Benefit Hoola at £19.50
and I would definitely purchase this again. It’s potentially a pale girl’s
perfect bronzer!
Rating – 9.5/10 – I don’t feel I could give a 10,
because one day there might be something better... but until then this is
amazing!
