Inika Mineral Blush (Review, Swatches & Photos)

Inika Mineral Blush in ‘Peachy Keen’ (3g)*, £17 | Inika | Feelunique

Inika is a fairly new brand to me; I first heard of the brand in my April Glossybox, where I had the chance to try their lip liner and I was really impressed by it. The brand itself has an amazing and inspirational story behind it, which made me like Inika even more. It’s aimed at helping to educate other women to take control of their health by limiting the toxins they put into their bodies. All Inika products are 100% natural and carry the triple consumer guarantee: to be cruelty free; to be vegan; and to be halal. Now let’s get onto the actual product I’m reviewing today!

The Inika Mineral Blush is a soft textured loose mineral powder blush with really concentrated pigments. The shade I have is ‘Peachy Keen‘, described as a ‘warm peach shade for light and medium skin tones‘. On my skin it comes out as a soft peachy-pink shade, with subtle gold shimmer, which I absolutely adore! Instead of making me look like a glitter ball (like most shimmery blushes do), this one just leaves my skin looking glowy and illuminated. It saves me applying highlighter on my cheekbones, because it does a great job at highlighting as well.

This is a perfect colour for that natural flush with a bit of a shimmery twist! I’ve been reaching out for this blush constantly, and although I never like loose powders because I find them messy to work with, this one is surprisingly fuss-free. The pot is really sturdy, and when closed, the product is entirely sealed inside with no spillage whatsoever. I just have to make sure that my clumsy hands don’t drop this on the floor whilst the lid is open. Fingers crossed!

A litte note: I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the Dior Airflash Spray Foundation, which I’ve recently reviewed here, so within the next couple of weeks, I’ll be doing a tutorial on the different ways you can apply this foundation and which is my preferred way! I’m wearing it on the photos above, and Oh My God, I’m in love! Don’t forget to check my review HERE for more details about it :)

What do you think of this blush? Do you like mineral blushes? Have you tried anything from Inika before?

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
