Sometimes I contemplate a new blush purchase for weeks, and
other times I know from the moment the shade is released that I will be adding the
shade to my collection. Initial posts about the All About Orange
collection and Honey Jasmine had me sitting up in my desk chair, and as
soon as it popped up online (Australia, why so delayed?) I plugged my card
details in and grinned like a Cheshire Cat.
I truly regret not purchasing Fresh Honey when it came out with the Naturally collection, and I’ve sort of viewed Honey Jasmine as my consolation prize. It does require a little bit of effort to blend in nicely, but the way it looks against my pale complexion more than makes up for that flaw.
Described by Temptalia as “medium orange with subtle
warm, yellow undertones and a barely-there satin sheen”, Honey Jasmine is
darker and more red-toned than something like Chanel Frivole (which I also own
and love) I can see this working on skin tones across the board as it is
pigmented and seems to stand out on Christine’s cheeks, but as always it is all
about what you feel comfortable wearing. I quite like wearing orange tones on
my cheeks, so I am really pleased to have this in my collection.

ReplyDeleteI agree Nalini, but I think that some people fear orange but don't know how great it could be on them!
