Too Faced Love Flush Long-Lasting 16-Hour Blush

There’s nothing wrong with adding a little love into your beauty routine. The adorable Too Faced Love Flush Long-Lasting 16-Hour Blushes come in coquettish heart-shaped compacts, with even more saccharine love-themed shades. Keep reading below to see if this product is worth loving…

Packaging: Leave it to Too Faced to come up with the most adorable blush packaging. The blushes come in a sleek compact, with the packaging matching the shade of each blush. There is also a mirror included in the compact, perfect for travelling or touch-ups.

Colour Range: There are six shades in this range – with one neutral tone (“Baby Love”) and five brighter shades – ranging from pink to coral to plum. I can see these shades working for a multitude of skin tones as the shades are bright enough to make darker skin tones pop, without making lighter skin tones look as if they are wearing theatre makeup. Speaking as a pale gal, I’d advise those with lighter skin tones to use a light hand when applying these blushes – the colours are BRIGHT and if you swirl too much product on, your face will be hot pink before you know it.

Pigmentation: I’ve been using NARS blushes for years since I didn’t think I’d ever find anything better – but this product proved me wrong. While only six shades are available, the blush is so buttery and applies seamlessly – there’s no smudging product caking when you apply it. If you’re interested in a higher-end product, such as the Tom Ford Cheek Colour Blush or Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Blush, but don’t want to shell out $60 on a blush, you’ll actually find that this range has better colour payoff and a similar texture.

Staying Power: The formula is definitely smudge-proof; however, I'm not sure about the 16-hour wear time. I applied “Baby Love” prior to going to work, and by mid-afternoon, the majority of the colour was gone. I’d recommend carrying it in your purse with a travel-sized blush brush to re-apply if you’re planning some post-work fun.

Sleek Makeup Crème to Powder Blush- Swatch

The best way to throw together a look is to add some blush! In school, we were taught that we only need two blushes in our makeup kit: Bubble gum pink and a rich orange. I've always gravitated to oranges. I love how warm it looks on dark/deep skin. 

When I was sent Sleek Makeup's crème to powder blush ($8.99 US), I knew that it 

would become a staple in my collection.

Sleek Makeup's Innovative Crème to Powder Blush offers intense colour with a dewy, satin finish. 

Blending is super easy with this blush. The soft blush starts out as a creme. 

Then dries to a nice light powdery texture. Perfect for any skin type: Oily, combination or normal.

I should also add that the nice sleek black packaging is perfect for your makeup kit or personal use.

HOW TO APPLY

Apply using a stippling brush or your fingers to the apples of your cheeks.

Then blend!

Clarins Multi-Blush Cream Compact Blush- SWATCHES

I honestly think it's the year of the blush. Well for me... at least. I have come across so many great blushes and were not even half way through the year! If I had to pick one of my favourite blush formulas it would be cream. I love how you can play with the texture to get a desired look.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Mary Kay: The Art of Nature Collection Lip & Cheek 2012

 Mary Kay has slowly moved into being one of my top five favorite brands. 

I admire their quality and ability to come out new eye catching products.

This Spring they came out with a fun collection called The Art of Nature.

 With the limited-edition* The Art of Nature Collection, important fashion elements of abstract art meld with the latest innovations in nature-enriched beauty.

One of my favorites from the line is the Dual Lip Glaze.

Comes in two different colors:

• Warm Coral
• Glistening Sands

Inspired by the calming gleam of the ocean, Mary Kay®
Dual Lip Glaze* instantly moisturizes lips with a high-
shine finish. Soothing botanicals like aloe, shea butter and
safflower oil glide on smoothly to soften and protect lips.
The unique tube-in-tube design contains a clear gloss in
the outer tube and rich colour in the centre. To release
maximum shine and colour, squeeze the tube from the
bottom centre.

 Glistening Sands is currently my everyday lip glaze. 

Why?

• I don't need a mirror to apply it. 
• Its not full of glitter or sticky.
• It looks good with every look
• Very moisturizing.

I also found the Natural cheek tints interesting!

Two Colors:

• Pink Pearl
• Sheer Copper

Capturing the breathtaking beauty of coral reefs and
earthy tones of the canyon, Mary Kay ® Natural Cheek
Tint* offers a lightweight, bounce-to-the-touch formula
that glides on smoothly and effortlessly.

At first glance they look like powder..right?

After playing with them look at the consistency!
