Too Faced Peach Blur

Some of us may not have been blessed with a perfect, glowing complexion but that’s ok because thanks to Too Faced you can now blur your way to beautiful. 

Meet the absolutely fabulous Peach Blur.

This instant smoothing finishing powder is from the deliciously sweet Peaches and Cream Comfort Matte Collection and has been infused with vitamin and antioxidant rich real peaches and sweet fig milk so it smells as good as it looks!

I never knew I needed scented cosmetics until I came across Too Faced and I’m now completely addicted, particularly to this soft and sweet smelling range.

The collection on a whole has been inspired by the perfect shade range of a freshly picked peach and Peach Blur is no exception.

Designed to be used as a finishing powder it contains advanced optical correcting spheres that help to smooth lines and blur imperfections. The pearlescent pigments within the powder act as little mirrors to refract the light, creating the blurring effect.

Impressive eh?

 Let’s first address how gorgeous the packaging is! Housed within a cute gold compact complete with a mirror, it features the image of a peach sat against a background of the prettiest peach shades.

The powder itself is presented SO beautifully, as like all Too Faced products that it looks too gorgeous to use. Almost too gorgeous anyway!

The product mirrors the image on the compact with a raised, powder peach bearing the Too Faced name.

I love the level of detail that goes into creating these products but then I always feel loathed to dive in and ruin it! That said, I did anyway!

The powder itself is wonderfully soft, super fine in texture and silky smooth.

You can apply it to your face with either your fingers or a sponge and should start at the center of your face and work down and out from your forehead.

Wow is this stuff a delight.

It has the most beautiful scent and instantly helps to brighten my complexion without making my skin look like a disco ball!

It is ever-so-slightly pearlescent but it is so delicate it’s barely noticeable; that said it is just enough to lift tired skin, offer a healthy radiant glow and its universal hue is suitable for all skin tones.

It is so light it doesn’t feel like you’ve applied anything yet somehow despite it being a powder, it leaves your skin feeling soft and nourished as opposed to dry which some powders can do.

There’s also the added benefit of having skin that then smells of delightful sweet peaches!

Too Faced Peach Blur is available now and costs £25.

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal By Night

Scandal By Night is the opulent and intoxicating new fragrance from Jean Paul Gaultier.

Based on the note of sweet honey from Scandal which launched in 2017 (reviewed here) Scandal by Night is a more intimate, intoxicating interpretation of the original scent.

Housed within the same playful and eye catching vessel as its predecessor, the playful and distinctive stopper is a step away from Jean Paul Gaultier’s iconic bust bottles and  invokes images of fun, playful women dancing the night away.

Described as a gourmand oriental scent, Scandal by Night features several of the same addictive elements as Scandal (honey and patchouli) however this latest edition is unquestionably deeper and more seductive.

The perfect evening scent it features top notes of sweet, fragrant honey and intoxicating tuberose and heart notes of creamy, soft sandalwood. 

Base notes of addictive Tonka Beans blend with Patchouli to create a heady and exhilarating scent which is as delicious as it is provocative.

Rich and opulent it offers a soft, powdery warmth yet powerful and heady depth that seduces your senses and leaves the wearer feeling empowered.

It is a beautiful fragrance which is perfect for you if you were a fan of the original but also like slightly deeper more intoxicating scents.

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal By Night is available now from The Fragrance Shop and costs £72 for 50ml.

As their names may suggest, these products smell good enough to eat.

The peppermint swirl duo smell like sweet mints- aromatic and fresh yet soft and luscious at the same time.

The shower cream is a luxuriously thick shower product that produces an abundance of soft, frothy bubbles while the body lotion is a lightweight yet hydrating cream that softens and nourishes dry skin.

The Candy Cane shower gel and body wash smell just like the old favourites. Sweet and juicy the scent envelops your senses while you bathe. 

Pour under warm running water and sink into a deliciously scented bath while cleansing your skin with the matching body wash.
