Blush Collection



I love blush. It is not my favorite makeup product but I always enjoy picking out a color to wear for the day. I am so fair and I am not able to go without blush. Sometimes, the right shade can boost your confidence and make you feel unstoppable. I love every blush I own and I wanted to share them all with you. I was inspired by my previous post and I really wanted to show the colors of the blushes. I am not going to go into an in depth review but I will give some thoughts on each. So let’s get this show on the road.

MAYBELLINE FIT ME in LIGHT PINK
I have been reaching for this color quite a bit lately. It gives a very natural flush to the skin and I have been really enjoying it. It is very sheer but buildable.


MAYBELLINE FIT ME in LIGHT NUDE

This is the perfect blush for the days I do want a lot of color on the face especially if I have a lot going on with the eyes or lips. I really like this brand of blushes and I would definitely repurchase them!



ELF- PEACHY KEEN
I love the shimmer in this blush. It looks great on my skin but I do need to use a light hand when I apply it because it can build up quickly and become too intense for my fair skin.



ELF- CANDID CORAL
At first glance, this could almost be an exact dupe for NARS Orgasm but I actually think this color is a little more intense and slightly more pigmented. Once again, I have to use a light hand when I use it.



ELF- TICKLED PINK

I love this color. It is the perfect pink blush. It goes really well with my skin tone and looks great once it is thoroughly blended out.



ULTA CHEEK COLOR- FAME
Don’t let this color fool you. It looks really dark but it is amazing. I reach for it all the time. It also smells delicious.  A little goes a long way!


NARS- DOUCEUR

I love this color. It is definitely a favorite of many beauty gurus. I find that I have use a light hand with this color but it looks amazing on and I will be repurchasing!



NARS- ORGASM

Everyone knows about this color so I want say too much. Surprisingly, it is not my favorite blush color by Nars but I still enjoy it.



NARS- PENNY LANE
I love this crème blush. It is AMAZING! I have hit pan already. I love the natural flush it gives me. I wear it all the time during the summer. It is the perfect color for me and I wish it came in a powder form as well since crème blushes do not last very long on my skin. It is definitely a HOLY GRAIL product.



MAC- DAME


A great color for fair skin girls. It is by far my favorite pink blush.



MAC MINERALIZE SKINFINISH- BY CANDLELIGHT  LE


Why oh why does this color have to be a limited edition? It is so gorgeous on the skin. It can be used as a highlighter or a blush. I regret not buying a back of this color because I may just cry when it is gone.



MAYBELLINE DREAM MOUSSE- PEACH SATIN 20
I don’t reach for this very often but it is a very pretty shade and it has a subtle shimmer throughout.



MAYBELLINE DREAM MOUSSE- PINK FROSTING 10


Once again, I am not sure why I don’t wear this very often. The color is very pigmented and beautiful. Must starting wearing it again!



BARE MINERALS- KISS


Another color I should be wearing. I forget how beautiful it is. I love it.



BARE MINERALS- PURE RADIANCE 

I love this color on the cheeks but also as a highlight. The shimmer in it is amazing and it so good on the skin.



NYX- DARK SHADOWS PALETTE

I haven’t had a chance to really test these out yet but I thought I would provide the swatches for the colors so you all can see what they look like.

I have also decided to include swatches of my bronzers. My favorite bronzer right now is FLIRT! in Nude Envy. I do not wear bronzers very often but this color suits my skin tone perfectly. It works great for contouring when I am not too lazy to do it.



FLIRT! 07 NUDE ENVY WARM

MAYBELLINE FIT ME- MEDIUM BRONZE



MAYBELLINE FIT ME- LIGHT BRONZE


RIMMEL NATURAL BRONZER- 027 SUN DANCE



Here is a picture of all the swatches. My camera does not show the true color of the swatches and did take a picture of each in different lighting.




Please let me know if you have any questions about these products or if you would like to see how they look on my skin. Thanks for reading and until next time…
