Cheek of the week?

We've all seen FOTDs and EOTDs but do we think COTW could catch on??!  It does rhyme after all...

I would happily make the statement that cheek products are my favourite to buy.  Lipsticks are nice but I never really get that excited about; eyeshadows I love but have enough to last me lifetime..

Cheek products however possess an appeal second to none...  The allure of a new bronzer, blush or highlighter is sometimes just too much.  The multitude of formulas and vast selection of shades means I never get bored of madly swatching products in the aisles of Boots or at the Selfridges' counters.  And as such, I can always justify a new purchase.

Most recently it has been Sleek's Rose Gold that I finally got my mitts on two weeks ago and it hasn't been off my cheeks since.  Combined with Chanel Bronze Universel and MAC Hush Cream Colour Base, it creates the perfectly defined, highlighted and rosy cheeks that I am always aiming for.

These three products were made for each other.

What cheek products have you fallen in love with recently?  Do we think COTW could catch on?!  Did Rosie cheat with Hugo? (Not connected but an all important question all the same...)

17 Again

I have to admit, 17 is not normally a brand I ever look at but the amazing Mirror Shine lipsticks made me take a little more interest..

So when I was in need of a little make up pick me up, 17 ticked all the boxes!  Cheap, cheerful, good quality products on offer at 3 for 2 - how could I resist?!

First Kiss blusher is a gorgeous pink with a slight golden sheen to it.  It is perfect for adding some colour to the cheeks and adding a subtle glow.  It seems to last pretty well on the cheeks too - very impressed!

Flirty Shine On lipstick is the second lip product by 17 I've tried and fallen in love with.  Although it is matte - which the name doesn't suggest - it does, like its sister Beehive, apply like a dream.  It is also incredibly long lasting, isn't drying in the slightest and the matte black packaging is pretty nice too.  It's a keeper.

I cannot comment yet on the Heart Beat Lasting Fix nail polish but it looks like gorgeous baby blue in the bottle.  Expect a NOTD soon!

These swatches are one of the reasons I cannot wait to get home to the DSLR but hopefully you get the idea!
