4 of the Best New Blushes To Try
If you are a long time reader of this blog, you should be
well aware of the fact that I am a blush fiend. Nothing gets my heart racing
faster than a new blush pan and my blush collection spans more than one drawer,
which I am not ashamed of in the slightest. Lately some new blushes have been
released that have been really interesting, and in the interest of blush
swooning I thought it pertinent to round them up and show you!
essence really
hit it out of the park with their new Blush
Up Powder Blush in the shade 10
Heatwave. It came along with a range of new products and is definitely
the best of the bunch, and also the only new cheek shade from the German brand.
The coral and deep pink ombre finish is luxe and the packaging is slim and
sleek, and being able to customize your coral-to-pink cheek shade is a fun
little addition. I tend to dust my NP
Set blush brush in the centre of the compact to create a stunning pop
of coral on the cheek, and the lasting power is on par with my Chanel powders.
Hourglass
created a huge storm with their Ambient
Lighting Powders, but the Ambient
Blushes are what really had me grinning from ear to ear! I purchased
the brightest shade Radiant Magenta
and I adore the marbled look that is captured in the sleek gold compact, but
the best thing about these blushes is how they look on the cheek! Lit from within
doesn’t even do this blush justice, because this makes my cheeks look healthier
than any other blush can. Considering I own quite a few, that is no mean feat!
Clinique have also
knocked glowy blushes on the head with their adorable ambossed Cheek Pops, in which I own the
shade Peach Pop*. I was
initially expecting all of the wow to be from the look of the petals, but the
colour and formula itself is truly very lovely. I find this great for those who
like a subtle flush, but I can build this up easily to a dash of peach
loveliness on my cheeks with no problems. I’m tempted to grab the other 3
shades but I’m enjoying Peach Pop
so much that it has satiated my appetite (for now)
You can really blame my Chanel obsession on Pink Sith (I adore her way of
thinking and her amazing love for ChanelJ oues Contraste blushes!) Pictured is the most recent Joues Contraste
release, the magenta Vivacite which
I posted a review of here. These powders have a rose scent that I adore and the
lasting power is really impressive, and I suspect that the interlocked C’s also
have something to do with my passion for this range. I am happy to be labelled
a Chanel JC collector, and despite
only being a beginner I use this range more than any of my other blushes.
What blush formula do you swear by, or are you in the market
for a new pan?

Lovely post! I'm absolutely loving the Essence blush as well, it's so awesome especially with that ombre effect. They also released a bronzer/highlighter and the colour is really pretty but it looked a tad glittery to me. I really want to try the Clinique Cheek pops, their formula sounds quite unique!
ReplyDeleteTasha // shiwashiful.
It's such a great blush and so cheap! I have that bronzer too but it's pretty shimmery.
DeleteI am a blush fiend JUST LIKE YOU! I freaking wants that gradient blush from essence! I'm going to order one like that but from a japanese brand soon! I'd love a chanel blush too, I've swatched them and was so surprised by how soft they are despite being a baked blush! My favorite drugstore blushes are Canmake and catrice and bourjois. I don't have many high end blushes but I love lancome and I think I would love chanel if I had any!
ReplyDeleteblush fiends unite! You need to get the essence blush, it's so cheap and so good!
DeleteBlush porn is the best!
ReplyDeleteI am DEFINITELY treating myself to an Hourglass blush for my next purchase because I love the idea of healthy, glowing cheeks!
Definitely is the best - so happy to see that you bought that blush today!
DeleteI expect you will be overjoyed by the new Revlon offerings in this case. Mauvelous is my absolute fave shade so far.
ReplyDeleteI have two of the four Clinique Cheek Pops and I think the last two will definitely be added to my collection come end of the year if they don't bring out anymore shades.
I'm a little bit in love with my Burberry blushes at the moment, especially the earthier tones of one for a contour shade.
Zygomatic fiends unite! ;-)
I've been wearing Mauvelous non-stop for over a week now, so good!
Deletei ADORE that essence blush ! Seriously, how good is the pigment payoff for the price ? it's the best
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised, the lasting power is so good too!
DeleteI swear by my Bourjois Little Round Pot blushes. I remember my Mum using one of the rose scented blushes when I was little, and she let me play with it sometimes!
ReplyDeleteAh see I found those too hard for my liking, bit too shimmery for me. The scent is something pretty special though (Chanel powders are rose scented too, which I guess it because they are made by the same manufacturer)
DeleteGreat post! I have been so tempted to buy the hourglass .. Looks soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteAll of the shades look so pretty, I'll admit I've been tempted to buy another
DeleteOh I hope we get the Essence Blush! I like their blushes a lot and it looks amazing! I haven't got an Hourglass Blush yet-not completely sold on them to be honest.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably one of the best essence blushes I've tried - and I have a collection, so that is saying something!
DeleteAlways looking for the perfect peach blush! I have the Essence one and Peach Pop which I love. I think I'm going to order Radiant Magenta.
ReplyDeleteHow good is Peach Pop?! Lasts a full work day on me and I find it really flattering. Radiant Magenta would look amazing on you!
DeleteThe packaging is all so gorgeous! I have the Essence Heat Wave blush too just for its appearance!
ReplyDeleteI love good blush packaging, makes such a difference!
