My First Post - This or That?

Hiya everyone!

My name is Rebecca Dodson and this is my brand new blog - Radiantly Rose.

I have been fretting about this post for days and now it's finally come! This post will just be a bit of a get to know me. Here's a beauty tag; which will only have one tag but still, here it goes: 

BLUSHER OR BRONZER?

I am not a bronzer person. I have used it very rarely on nights out or on stage and it just does not do any favors  I look like an umpa loompa! A good blusher can make you look so spring fresh and English Rose-esk. I like that look and I prefer that myself.

LIPGLOSS OR LIPSTICK?

I love my lipstick, but this is a really new thing to me. I hated lipstick until my best friend got a free Fatal Red Shade 530 lipstick from Maybelline's color sensation range*. I put it on once on a night out (in my about me picture) and I was HOOKED. A good lipstick can brighten the dullest look and I adore the variations of colour you can get.

LIP BUTTER OR LIP BALM?

Lip balm is the way forward. I hate chapped lips and with the windy weather at the moment, I don't leave home without it. This limited edition Vaseline; Pinky Bubbly, it smells beautiful as well as gets everyone asking about it.

MATTE OR SPARKLE EYESHADOWS?

I am a blender, so I enjoy the sparkle element of an eyeshadow. Having a sparkly overcoat over any blend adds a little bit of magic to any look. I love it when I am feeling awful and just want to feel pretty but cannot be bothered with the faff.

FOUNDATION OR CONCEALERS?

Concealer was never my friend, it always looked oily on my skin. As my skin seems to take to stuff like foundation and cover completely cleanly I never touch concealer. This is completely due to luck on my part with decent skin. I might try some new concealers but at the moment it isn't my favourite beauty friend. This True Match foundation from L'oreal is beautiful, I got it in Ivory Rose and it is beautiful. I've bought it again and again and it's never failed. Brilliant coverage and is really light, for someone with fair skin this really does me favours. 

EYELINER OR EYESHADOW?

My Christmas list this year involved a LOT of Soap and Glory Products! I got a beautiful eyeliner from Soap and Glory called SuperCat(*). This is a liquid eyeliner which is like a pen, it is a deep black pen rather than some other cheaper eyeliners and it really makes an impact. Just because of this eyeliner, I will pick eyeliner over eyeshadow, this is a SERIOUS must buy.

LOOSE POWDERS OR PRESSED POWDERS?

Pressed powders are amazing and can be used perfectly for either a Matte look with a sponge or a more natural look with a brush. I love powder for its versatility. This Stay Matte from Rimmel was recommended by Sia at Dainty Desires and I love it. This is a light powder which doesn't smoother the skin. I have it in Pink Blossom and it suits my skin perfectly.

BRUSHES, SPONGES OR FINGERS?

I love my soft brush for powder but otherwise it is a sponge for the foundation

. 

WATERPROOF OR NON-WATERPROOF?

Definitely a waterproof girl. I do a high stress degree, with many products and jobs on the side. This often leads to many outdoor trips or tears because of stress. It literally saves my life to have a perfect waterproof.

CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT PRODUCT?

This would have to be my True Match Foundation found above! it is amazing, I would always put that over the top of skin, even if nothing else goes on. This keeps me looking a lot fresher than I wake up looking!

Tagging my (one and only) blogger friend:

I hope this gives you a small insight into myself. I promise the next blogs will be smaller.
