I bought two essence blushlighters from the latest Disney collection, Dumbo and Patch and while I love Patch, I find that my Dumbo blush is so hardly pressed that I can't get any pigment from that colour part, so basically I can use it only as highlighter because the brush picks up only the small highlighty parts. On the other hand, Patch is very pigmented all over. I'm really liking it, looks beautiful, even though I have to be careful because I am also fair and this is quite vibrant and pigmented blush, but I knew that already when I was buying it.
Oh that's such a shame. Mine really doesn't feel that hard pressed and I find these blushes a bit powdery. The Patch blush was great too but I preferred the Dumbo shade on myself.
Love the Nabla skin glaze. Kiko really has nice cheek products especially when bought on a sale. Have Benefit in blush palettes, but don't use them enough.
I used to own all those Benefit boxed blushes at some point would you believe it. But some I got off Ebay and I am not sure they were real. One of them always smelt a bit funky so I ended up decluttering them as I wasn't sure it was safe to use them.
I love blushes as you may know lol! So my list looks a lot like yours, maybe I should do this video as well. I haven´t taken out my Melt blush in a really long time, need to do that!
Hi Maaike an interesting roundup. I can't remember the last time I wore a powder blush tbh. I do have some Laura Gellor and some bare minerals powder blushes, but I'm a liquid/cream blush girl. I think because I have such dry skin, I just feel they look better on me. Before the cream/liquid blushes were more modern and longer wearing, I used to use a powder blush to set the cream blush underneath. That isn't really necessary with formulations available now though, so they're languishing in a drawer tbh. I did try the Hourglass mood exposure on in the store when it was hyped everywhere, but it turned a peachy shade on me and not the mauve in the pan - weird and not what I wanted/expected. I have one of their face powders and it doesn't turn a weird shade on me, so I'm not sure why the blush did that. I have a liquid/cream blush in the shades of blush I wear eg mauve, cool pink, neutral pink and pinky coral - so I tend to wear those on a daily basis. I even have a liquid blush that doubles as a blonzer shade (a pink toned nude), so I also never wear powder bronzer. I have even emptied and repurchased a liquid blush (not an easy feat and shows how often I have worn it - the second bottle is half gone). The swatches are very useful though, as not every shade seems to be available in a cream/liquid format. I'm still on the hunt for something with a real lavender/lilac shade in a cream/liquid format, but this shade only seems to be available in a powder form. Best wishes.
I mean if I could only pick one formula, I could just easily live on my supershocks and be happy. I paned my "between the sheets" in under a year 😁 I have a ton on my wishlist, like Nabla, Nudestix, Nars, Benefit - but I kinda just wear my colourpop and she glam liquid blush and couple of essence and rival blushes to death. I really want to try some more baked formulas though. And I'm kinda eyeing Fenty as well. I actually used up an eyde house blush in the past, maybe, when your K-beaty video comes up, I'll refill my collection.
Just a quick thank u for letting me know the name (and colour of package) of the SPF the other day. It arrived a couple of days ago and its the best SPF I've tried thus far. I like the beauty bay blushes, my new favourite is called "blossom" A beautiful coral pink with a peachy gold sheen. Thank u. Love Alli x
I’d love to get my hands on that Essence Dumbo blush! It never came to the USA sadly unfortunately. Nabla makes my tippy top fav blush shades I have almost all of them as well as the Hourglass blushes. I don’t think H&M sells makeup here I’ll have to check. I also really love Kiko blushes and just adore their products in general !!!
I heard that LE would come to South Africa in December?! So who knows... it may still drop later this year. And check H&M online. They hardly sell makeup in their stores but their webshop has a better selection.
I might. Not sure how the colors will mix when blended together, but yeah, be sure that those babies will get a mention in my next new makeup releases.
Divine Rose is such a beautiful shade ☺️
It totally is!
Geez now I gotta buy those etude blushes! I have been obsessed with blush lately!
Blush was my obsession for a while all throughout last year. Currently not really favorite much of anything really.

Funky smelling makeup is a red flag. Better safe than sorry as pink eye isn't a great look on anyone

Please do it! It would be fun. Like a belated mini collab.

Have you looked into Apieu's Juicy Pang blushers? They do a purple/ lavender shade!
@@FloatinginDreams Thanks I'll have a look next time I'm doing a K beauty order. x

Yes the K-beauty video will be up later this month.
Awesome, June or July is my K-beauty haul month anyway.

Aw I'm so happy the SPF is working out for you Alli!

Maaika, will you be buying the newPat McGrath blushers? They look gorgeous... I'm so tempted...😬😉
