The Chanel powder blush formula is easily my favourite on the market, and I can even say that Chanel blushes are my favourite beauty product - period! Nothing gives me a thrill quite like adding a new shade to my collection and I've been using my very favourite Jersey (a neutral) as well the coral In Love that Mister bought me for Christmas. Recent additions to the mix are the new Fall 2015 shades which deserve their own post, the shimmery Alezane and Golden Sun. They are so easy to apply, the rose scent is addictive and I highly recommend trying them out if you are a sucker for blushes like I am.

I was apprehensive about these two initially as drugstore blushes find it hard to compete with the likes of Chanel and co, but lo and behold these two hold their own and I'm proud to say I'm a big fan of them. Nude Mauve is my perfect work shade and it brightens my face up with ease, and Rose steps up to the plate when I'm craving a pretty flush of pink for something different.
As you can see, neutral and nude blushes practically rule my makeup life right now! I think I need to dive into my blush drawer and sift through some pans to make room for these new Chanel beauties, but as a blush fiend a clean out is such a hard thing to do...
What shades are in your current blush rotation?
What is the best drugstore blush, and which is the best high end you've tried?

Love the look of Jersey and In love, they don't have any shimmers right ?
ReplyDeleteThey are great shades - they do have very fine shimmer in them, but don't emphasise pores and I wouldn't classify them as a shimmery blush :)
DeleteYou have the most amazing blushes!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! My favourite part of my makeup collection for sure!
DeleteMmmmmmm very nice Chanel blushes!! I'm loving the Dandelion blush from Benefit at the moment.

Thanks - they are my fave! I haven't used my Benefit blushes in ages, should take them out for a whirl again!
DeleteLove this post! Thanks for the reminder that I should give my Chanel JCs more love. I like how we're both blush fiends but we don't seem to have overlapping colours! The PF blush looks lovely too but I am resisting for now. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz! That is a really good point, I'm not sure we have any overlapping colours now that I think about it?!
DeleteYour blushers are beautiful Emma! :) I haven't tried any from Chanel before, but now I'm very tempted. The Physicians Formula Blush is stunning! x.k
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! Chanel JC's are my kryptonite I swear!
DeleteSuch a beautiful selection of blushes Emma! Out of all my blushes I've sadly been rotating just TWO in the last week: Nyx Mosaic in Plummy, probably because I'm hooked on exposing even more bare pan at the bottom and MAC Blushbaby because it's become my quintessential winter blush pick :-)
ReplyDeleteAw shucks - I've heard great things about Blushbaby but am so focused on other brands that I haven't shopped at MAC in a long time!
DeleteYour Chanel blush collection always makes me froth! I regret not picking up Alezane so bad :c
ReplyDeleteI'm currently falling back in love with my NARS Gilda blush
