What need is there to come up with a reason to wax lyrical
about my recent blush loves? I don’t need much of a push to chatter on about my
favourite beauty product, so I’ve rounded up the five I’ve been wearing in
recent months to share with you all.
As I’ve mentioned previously, the bulk of my makeup stash
has been packed away and unpacking it has fallen by the wayside as we busy
ourselves with house renovations and setting up our first home together. The ‘lazy-day’
cheek shade that I’m sure you’ve all heard me rave about is the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed,
which is a simply amazing rosy neutral that lasts all day and looks amazing on. If I feel like something a bit brighter that lasts all day, I turn to my Chanel Joues Contraste in Pink Explosion
or Frivole. My only two Chanel
JC’s, I have fallen in love with the formula this year and can’t wait
to pick up the new shade Accent
from the upcoming holiday collection. It’s meant to be a really pretty shimmery
neutral pink shade, and from the limited promo images out there I just know I’m
going to be picking it up when it launches in Australia. Okay, blush swoon
over, back to the point of the post! (Moral of that tangent? Go and buy a Chanel JC!)
The only cream blush I’ve been wearing lately is the newly
released Ice Bomb crème blush
from essence, the solo cheek shade
from the Me & My Ice Cream collection.
The gorgeous apricot shade blends like a dream, and though I’m upset that the
packaging of mine has cracked, I’m still really happy to have picked up this
bargain blush! The last and possibly most random blush shade I’ve been wearing is
the MAC Mineralize blush in Gentle,
a plummy pink shade with gold shimmer. I use a light hand with this as it has
the tendency to make me look a bit too
flushed, but the shimmery effect is really flattering on my cheeks.
What blushes have you been wearing lately? Any shades or
formulas I need to check out?
