Joe Fresh Cream Blushes

While holiday shopping this year I found myself checking out the Joe Fresh cosmetic section at my local Superstore! I have a love affair with this company for nice products at a very inexpensive price! I should do a shadow collection someday for you all to see... but that is not the focus for todays post!!

My most recent shopping trip created an interest in the Joe Fresh cream blushes... so I picked up 2! I decided on Apricot and Melon as I didn't have similar shades in my cream blush collection!

Apricot (left) Melon (right)

My thoughts on the product formulation itself... well for the price its a pretty good product! The product is very creamy... which translates into a little hard to apply with your fingers... it almost smears instead of blend. Especially when applied over a foundation. Applied with a brush however it goes on beautifully... even over a powder product!

Now to the colours themselves. Apricot is an almost neutral peachy shade which looks like a natural flush to the cheek when blended out! I have used both an apricot and pink powder blush over the top which created two very different yet very pretty results!!

Now to the Melon... which shocked me really! I wish I had gotten a picture before I used this blush because when I opened the package the product was very orange. Upon using the blush it turned almost a pink colour! The colour is very nice on the skin... but not what I had originally thought I was getting. Blended out you can still see the orange tint in the product but swatched it is very pink!

In this pic you can see the orange colour still remaining on the outer edge of the blush.

Overall I think the blushes are worth the $8 they cost! I can't attest to the colour quality of the other colours but I like the ones I have.. even if Melon isn't what I thought it was going to be!

FOTD Summer Fire

I was really excited wen I finished this look last night! It came out dark with my Blackberry so picture the colours a little more vibrant! I wanted something that reminded me of fire but in more of a summery way. She shadow are from JOE Fresh as well as a palette I picked up at IMATS last ear. I love that great shadows don't have to break the bank anymore and you can get some amazing results!

Now I wanted to ask you all a question... what is our favourite eye primer?? I'm on a quest to try some new one's that maybe I didn't know about. I love my UDPP and I am so excited about the packaging change that means no more genie bottle to waste product. However I would love to know what your favourites are!!!

My Favourite Eyeshadow JOE Fresh in Peacock!

I tend to find a new favourite eyeshadow every few days but the shade peacock from JOE Fresh has been my go to for a fun pop of colour for weeks now! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it in the store and could not resist it. This is a matte colour that is so pigmented I can't even believe it for $4!

For those of you who have never tried JOE Fresh products they are available at the Great Canadian Superstore chain in Canada. If you are from another part of the world I would definitely include some of these on your wish-list for your next Canadian makeup swap!

Right now JOE is selling much of it's spring colour shadows for only $2.04 so of course I picked them all up so I could give them a try! I will keep you posted on if I find a new favourite in the bunch!!

JOE Fresh Nail Polish Review

Earlier this week I told you that I purchased 3 of the JOE Fresh nail polishes. The colours I bought were, Powder Blue, Butter and Nude. I couldn't wait to try these little beauties out which were 3 for $10 at my local Great Canadian Superstore.

So what did I think of these polishes?? For the price I really liked these little bottles of polish. The colour selection is really great offering everything from pastel to the darkest richest colours. I found the brush a little awkward because of how short it was but I did like how big the brush itself, allowing me to cover my thumb in three strokes.

I did not find this polish the smoothest ever, it was streaky on the first application but in the pic shown I have only used 2 coats so you can see how quickly the colour smoothed itself out. I am on day 3 with this manicure and I am just starting to see the signs of wear. I think I may start to see peeling today but that is completely normal for me so this wear of this polish on my nails as the same as that of China Glaze, Orly etc.

I really think for the price these are great little polishes.. at the least the colours I bought were great. Let me know your experiences with Joe Fresh polishes... did you like them??
