Benefit Big Easy BB Cream Review | Chelsea Posts Beauty Review

I've been using this cream for quite a couple of weeks now and especially so in this increasingly hot British Summer weather. That's right, I said hot British Summer weather all in one. So baring that in mind I've had to switch up my base from a standard foundation medium coverage to a lighter base so avoid make-up meltdown. I last mentioned this product on my purple smokey eyes FOTD in June here and I've only just got around to posting a review on what I think! So here we go...

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Dupes? | Beauty UK Shimmer Boxes Review | Chelsea Posts Beauty

How beautiful are these shimmer bricks?! Here I have two Beauty UK Shimmer Boxes in shades Bronze and Rose which in comparison to Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Bricks are very similar in appearance indeed.

Topshop Chameleon Glow in Shuffle The Cards Review | Chelsea Posts Beauty Review

I've only ever tried Topshop's cream blushes and nail varnishes and from what I've tried I rate Topshops makeup quite highly.

Check out what I've used below. How pretty are the shadows in the palette?

Summer Face Treats | Benefit Sugarbomb Blush and Gloss Review | Chelsea Posts Beauty

When you've got a tonne of blushes and glosses a lot of them tend to go astray. I've had this pair for around 2 years now and after digging through my collection to find some pretty summer blushes I found that these two are the perfect pairing for summer. In terms of the cardboard packaging of the box its a little battered but not too bad! A quick mini review of these two pretty pink products laced with fine shimmer.

Summer Face Base Essentials | Chelsea Posts Beauty

 

Hey everyone. The weather here in the UK is slowly heating up meaning makeup meltdowns are upon us. In this post I've thrown together a few products from my stash which I think will help give some coverage and prevent any greasy faces during the summer months. To perfect your basic base I've included a variety of BBs, to powder, to concealer and bronzer.

The Best Nude MAC Lipsticks | Chelsea Posts Beauty Update

Basically this is an updated post on what I think are the best nude MAC lipsticks available in the permanent line. These shades are a combination of pink/peachy nudes. Most of which will suit a variety of skintones. Nothing like a lipstick that is a one shade suits all sorta colour!
