I've been rotating the same group of cheek shades this month, now that I'm getting up early each morning for work the less choices the easier it is choose. Essential for work days are long-lasting, easy to wear shades, hence my cream-centric choices!
I picked up all three of the new Revlon Photoready Cream blushes when they launched in Australia a few weeks ago, and I posted a full photo-heavy post on them earlier this month! I've used the pale peach Pinched most out of the lot, and though it is a very pale colour I can get away with it if I build it up. Flushed is a nice pop of pink for these spring days, and Coral Reef goes really well with the gloss of the same name.
The longest lasting blush I own is the YSL Creme de Blush in Powdery Rose, which also happens to be my very favourite blush. The texture is second to none and I feel put together whenever I wear this shade. Though I hardly wear bronzer, I do go through stages where bronzer is an everyday appearance. I have been using the Clinique SuperBalanced Powder Bronzer, it's one of those nifty ones that you shave a fresh slice off each time you use it. I like the way it looks on my skin (I use the lightest shade) and it lasts well on my skin, as it absorbs oil and is mineral.
I am enjoying the fresh look that my cream blushes leave on my cheeks, but I've recently picked up a few new cheek products so will be switching them in in the next couple of days. The Clinique bronzer is staying in my everyday stash as I've been loving the healthier look it gives me, but I won't be bringing it to Sydney with me as it's just too bulky for light travel.
What has graced your cheeks lately?
Are you as obsessed with blushes as I am?!

I'm not nearly as obsessed as you. I haven't been wearing blush lately, I usually only wear it in the winter months, because I hate when it sweats/wears off in the warm months. I usually wear NYX blushes though, pinched is my favorite!
ReplyDelete@beautyonacollegebudget I am very into blushes, my favourite beauty purchases for sure :) I wear blush every day, I don't find they sweat off on me though. NYX Pinched looks really nice, I wish NYX had've been at IMATS I would've picked it up!
DeleteI love YSL creme de blush too. I find that the texture is just gorgeous.
ReplyDelete@Jacqueline the texture is out of this world, the very best in my opinion!
DeleteSome beautiful shades there! Might have to try out those revlon photoready ones! xx
ReplyDelete@Sarah Priceline often have Revlon sales so keep your eye out for them- I bought this at buy2 get1 free :)
Deletei had a quick look at the revlon ones the other day & they are pretty impressive. The colours are stunning.
ReplyDelete@thebeautydispensary The colours are so lovely!
DeleteYou're a girl after my own heart. Love blush! I was so tempted by the Revlon ones you showcased here - bet they look lovely on you. Lately I've been after matte/honey shades to contour and subdue the rest of the face for the darker lips. It feels more autumn. I like seeing the bright happy colours show up on the Aussie blogs - good to know it's summer somewhere! :)
ReplyDelete@Liz blush is my ultimate, definitely the most enjoyable beauty purchase for me! Now that we are heating up I'm enjoying these bright shades, during winter and autumn I loved matte bronzers and shades like Benefit Dallas :) I am enjoying spring, but can't wait for summer!
DeleteI've been collecting blushes but I'm pretty terrible at using them all - I tend to rotate the same three blush pans most of the time!
ReplyDelete@Vita I know what you mean, I have so much different blushes but lean towards similar colours a lot of the time. I am enjoying making a 'everyday' section of random blushes to use each week :)
