Revlon Photoready Cream Blush in Pinched Review/Swatch



Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Plum Wine + Fresh Pink Review/Swatch






I really like these blushes! I love love the texture and the pigmentation. Big warning to the lighter colors because you would have to build up on it. The packaging is very small and compact. The bad thing i would say about it is that the packaging is not flat so you can't really stack these up upon each other perfectly.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush Exposed Review/Swatch




So i've had this blush for over a month now and i LOVE it. This blush has been raved around the internet for a while. It just makes anyone look so beautiful and it lasts for a long time! i'm not sure about 24 hours since i don't have my makeup on for that long. If you see it in sephora, swatch it!

On the Sephora site it says:

What it is:
A long-wearing, solar-baked blush that lasts up to 12 hours.

What it does:
Infused with natural clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and naturally baked by the sun, this nutrient-rich blush benefits all skin types for a fade-free flawless finish for an amazing 12 hours. Inspired by Tarte's bestselling shades of cheek stains and lip tints, the colors range from soft to vivid to suit a wide variety of skintones. For oily skin types, Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place. Those with dry skin will benefit from the clay's nourishing and hydrating properties, which naturally restore skin's moisture. Combination skin types can rely on its ability to zero in on skin concerns and deliver benefits to restore complexion harmony. The result? Blush that wears better, longer, and truer!

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan

What else you need to know:
This blush features the following Skinvigorating™ ingredients:
- Vitamins A and E, two natural preservatives that act as anti-inflammatory emollients and protect against free radical damage
- Vitamin C, an antioxidant that fights free radical damage and prevents oxidative stress and premature signs of aging, while brightening the skin
- Amazonian clay, a nutrient-rich, multitasking, skin-balancing clay that reduces dryness and flakiness, improves skin clarity, elasticity, firmness, and texture while removing oil from the skin's surface for smooth application and wear

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush is an Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner.Size: 0.2 oz



Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush Review/Swatch

Most of you guys know that the spring 2012 lines that the drug stores are coming out with are pretty high quality compared to the past so i was really tempted to jump on the band wagon. I started out with these blushes because i love blush and there were so many raves on the internet and youtube! The colors i got were Candy Coral and Hot Tamale.

They really are bouncy because it's like a memory foam but it won't go back to it's original shape! i really do love the texture. Not a cream but yet not a powder.

The brighter colors in the collection are more preferable because it's a lot easier to get the pigmentation onto your fingers but on your cheeks they won't look as dramatic as the pan. Candy Coral took more time than Hot Tamale to swatch out into full color so be warned! All the colors are so pretty though.

 The blushes will leave some finger prints and they are best applied with fingers because brushes will not pick up as much color! I really want to go back to Target and get some more. Each blush is $5.99 so it's decently priced. They're more on the smaller side when it comes to size though. Something that lacks is pigmentation on the lighter shades if you're not patient but it's really easy to build up the color. The blushes will last about 6 hours!

Sonia Kashuk Sunset Blush Review and Swatch


I've been having a lot of blog posts lately but i just got this blush because these blushes always caught my eye for a while and i decided to get one. There's a lot of shades but i got the one which had the most available but peachy colors are always my favorite.


Sorry for all the hair on the carpet... i need to vacuum asap haha. But i love the packaging! it's compact white and simple. The silver part is magnetic so it's really easy to close but sometimes you need to put some effort in opening it so be careful! There is noticeable shimmer so if you're not interested in shimmer do not get this blush! i'm not sure about the other shades though but sunset has enough shimmer.


It's very pigmented! at least this shade is. It's not too pigmented when applied normally with a brush. The color doesn't fall in the coral or peach shades more like a orange peach.

So far i'm happy with this blush and i hope to get the others because i love blush and this packaging.



MAC Peaches and Improvise Blush Review & Swatches


These two blushes are the only MAC products i own! i cherish them dearly because their blush is so high quality! Peaches is in their permanent line of sheertone blush. Improvise on the other hand was from a mineral collection from 2009. My friend got it for me from one of those stores that sell discontinues makeup.
