A LIPSTICK A DAY

I love this shot of Christina Hendricks with the popsicle stained lip look from Elle magazine.  For March I've been mainly wearing my ultra bright blushes with a nude lip.

After watching a Lisa Eldridge video the other day, I realised I didn't have a blue based pink cream blush.  So that was my excuse to get Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow in Liquifuschia.

I was quite excited to see Kevyn Aucoin stocked at Space NK here in the UK.  I remember flicking through a copy of Face Forward eons ago (when I wasn't that into makeup) and being amazed at the transformations.  Having a piece of Kevyn Aucoin makeup won't make me a stellar makeup artist but it brings a smile to my face.

I'm not a fan of glitter nail polish - but I'm in love with Deborah Lippmann's Glitter in the Air.  Deborah Lippmann is relatively hard to find in London so I've never really looked at the range properly.

In addition to the three Suqqu spring blushes, I decided last minute to pick up the limited edition EX-04 透桜 Tousakura Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist.

EX-01 牡丹色 Botaniro is my least favourite of the three spring Suqqu brushes.  This palette is definitely the least unique and you can find a similar colour in a multitude of brands.  Don't get me wrong - it is finely milled etc - it is nice but just not wow.

Out of the three Suqqu spring collection blushes, EX-03 is actually my favourite. While it is not as eye catching in the palette as EX-02, I find it much more wearable and pigmented.

EX-03 茜水 Akanemizu consists of a rose quartz pink and a peachy coral blossom shade with shimmer.

This was the blush that started it all.  I immediately fell in love with it when I saw preview photos from Japanese blogs.  Suqqu Nuancing Cheeks in EX-02 琥珀水 Kohakusui is a dual blush palette featuring a bright kumquat orange and a coral peachy pink.

This is just a quick post to show all the colours of the Suqqu Spring 2012 Nuancing Cheeks blushes.  I will be reviewing each of them in separate posts to follow.

This is my first foray into the Suqqu スック brand (pronounced suk-ku [sook-ku], not su-queue).  I steered clear of their blushes previously as I didn't like having one small blush and one small highlighter in a compact together.  However, once I saw images of these blushes a few months ago, I knew I had to have all of them.  The colours are perfect for me!
