March 8th might not mean much to you yet but it should! March 8th marked International Women's Day and celebrated all things girl power (we played a lot of Spice Girls at Blusho HQ that day!), inspirational women and women's achievements. A whole day celebrating all things women...LOVE!
The theme this year, #BeBoldForChange is to encourage people to take action against gender inequality which is amazingly still present today.
Would you never dream of leaving the house mascara free? Is lipstick your must-have makeup product? We are all for embracing natural beauty and think there's nothing more beautiful than a woman confident in her own skin but that doesn't mean a glamorous smokey eye can't make you feel confident too! Read on to find out some of our makeup must-haves, which make us feel ready to take on the world! Move out of the way men, us girls run the world!
Lipstick

Probably one of the easiest ways to make a statement and change up your look is with a swipe of lipstick. Be it a bold red, pretty pink or a natural nude, a lipstick can you make you feel like a whole new woman! Turn up to work wearing a sensible creamy nude, walk out at 5pm ready to rock in a rebellious red ;)

Lipstick love! Not only does this Illamasqua lipstick give you a gorgeous swipe of colour but it also softens and condition to give you kissable lips! Click the MUA pics above to shop the lip products they're wearing and get ready to pout!
Mascara
It can make you look less tired, open up your eyes and give you long, voluminous lashes to flutter at bae to get your own way, just some of the reasons why we can't live without our trusty mascara.
Get that false lash effect in a flash with this Illamasqua mascara. Not only does it volumise but it also promises to lengthen and define your lashes. That's not the best thing though, oh no, this mascara actually tints lashes so after two weeks you will see improved colour intensity making them even more gorgeous!

Tan
@amysmakeupbox
So you might still be in need of that 5 star beach holiday, but you can definitely look like you've just had a luxurious two weeks away when you add a little bronze to your beauty routine. Be it an all over fake tan or a beautiful bronzed glow on your cheek and collar bones, you'll look like a greek goddess in no time ;)
@makeupbysooni
Add a little bronzer to your cheekbones, temples, nose and jawbone for a contoured, sculpted look, it's even known to make you appear that little bit thinner. Ever heard of the saying Life's Better With A Tan? We totally agree!
Do you agree? Well we've just found a complete game changer, and trust us it's a helluva lot cheaper than a Carribbean holiday ;) The Madame La La Bronzing Ball glides onto skin seamlessly allowing you to bronze, contour and highlight to achieve a sunkissed glow.
