NYX Rouge Blush in Glow

Blush on is one of my staple make-up routine, yeah! I can't leave the house without it! Finding some blush-on that compliments your skin tone and makes you really glow is needed of several trial and error.


This is my first time to had a NYX blush on and before I get this one I really had a hard time reading tons of reviews and swatches. Finally I decided to get the cream blush on in GLOW. When I saw the blush after ripping off the package all I can say is love.love.loooove!


Glad that I took a picture before I dipped my finger on it
i just said "o my! i hit the pan" :(

swatch
What I like:
  • Pretty pink color
  • Pigmented
  • Stays for 4 to 5hrs
  • it looks natural if blended well
  • affordable
  • Locally available (Thanks Sol!)
What I hate:
  • Melt easily. When I dipped my finger I almost hit the pan (OMG!) unlike with my Illamasqua cream blush.

I'm wearing this blush for almost a week now, everybody noticed that I'm glowing. "Hey gracie! You're blooming today are you already found your V partner?-- my gay friend

It's a compliment of course!

Some snapshot of me wearing NYX Glow



Glow indeed?

I'm glad that I got this one but who knows!
I might try other shades in the future :D

So, make sure ladies that on your valentines date
wear a blush that will make you truly makes you glow.


Ciao~!

Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Laid

Whoaa! Everybody was so busy in Christmas shopping, is there any gift for me? I'm just kidding.
Anyways, I've been busy for awhile and I'm going to make quality time between me and my blog, I just hate that my phone was broken and I can't take quality photos from my "slightly broken too" camera.. grr! I can't wait to buy new one. Sorry for blurred pictures.

Lets back to track, I'm so excited to have this item because I never had a pink cream blush on! I always stick on coral pink and safe color for my skin tone. I'm terrified on tint and cream blush on products because of what I had experience on my highschool days, with this certain lip and cheek tint that is so hard to blend and I ended up like I was slapped by an elephant. When Mizz Worthy emailed me and wanted me to choose my prizes 1 blush, 1 e/s and 1 nail lacquer, this shade catches my eyes and didn't hesitate to put this on my prize list.

I may say this blush is so creamy, silky and goes on easily.
It makes me want more cream blusher.

on my face
See how terrible I am putting blush on?

It leaves a dewy finish and natural blush effect.
It stays longer than I expected and its also pretty on lips,
I can compare this to a pastel color just a little amount then
tap on cheeks and blend!


I really love the quote on the box:



Added to my wish list from Illamasqua cream blusher:

Dixie-- warm coral pink
Rude--warm peach pink

Likes:

  • not strong smell
  • long lasting
  • light weight
  • gives amazing glow
  • sleek packaging
  • very pigmented
Dislikes:

MAC Mineralized Blush Merrily

Hola Ladies! Sorry for lack of updates, I've been busy in my school projects and activities. First of all, I proudly announce that I'm one of the winners on Mizz Worthy's Super Heroes and Villains *clap,clap*, I was so happy and to think that I will experience Illamasqua products, I'm so very excited.

So lets back to the track..

I was extremely shocked to EATCANDY store at Multiply, Ivy sells her Mac items for 500php($10?) like WTH!?!, if you bought MAC on retail stores her items worth 3x or 5x of her price and I can't wait for her next batch. I was lucky to get MAC mineralized blush in Merrily because it was limited and hard to find as I read some blog on the net and this is my very first MAC baby.

At first, I was skeptical in the color because its to way RED its look like dirty burnt red with gold pearl and I was a pink or peach blush user and this is really a big challenge for me. I really practice how to apply it to avoid to look like slapped face and I think this blush will last for forever because its very pigmented just two dip using my blush brush to get my desire color. This will be my favorite red blush too bad its not one of the permanent mineralized blush on MAC.



Isn't lovely?

Merrily on me

  • light smooth texture
  • doesn't streak
  • gives pretty glow
Dislikes:
  • pricey if you buy on retail stores
  • hard to find/rare
