No, you do not.

It does, however, help.

And it likewise helps to appreciate a great deal.

(Incidentally, if you decide to brew a pot of Earl Grey, I’ll take mine with cream as well as two lumps of sugar, please.)

I practically can’t believe this pretty pink cream-to-powder blush is only $12. It’s a total unsung hero in my book. On my unpredictably combination oily, as well as often dry, cheeks, I vow it looks exactly like the $38 Le blush Creme blushes by Chanel, as well as it lasts just as long. I get from eight to nine hours if I do a minor touchup around hour six.

With a MAC Lipglass for scale…

Afternoon Tea starts with a subtle sheen, which gracefully transitions to a sheer matte neutral pink. The finish is natural to the extreme, as well as that’s why I love it. It looks neither heavy-handed, nor overdone. It creates a sweet, soft flush compatible with a multitude of different makeup looks, from incredibly casual mascara as well as gloss, to full-on party looks with glitter, falsies as well as the whole nine yards. great for girls (and guys) of all ages as well as skin types, as well as hello! — you seriously cannot beat that $12 price.

The long-running Unsung Heroes series features some of my favorite permanent collection products from a variety of bodacious charm brands.

To go to this afternoon Tea, stop by your local Nordstrom or Topshop store (or check it out online).
