Note Luminous Silk Compact Blusher - 05 Desert Rose













The compact comes equipped with a mirror and a compartment below the blush to hold the brush. The blush is enriched with argan oil to help prevent dryness. The blush is highly pigmented and I recommend using a light hand while applying. A small amount goes a long way and leaves a more natural flush. Personally, I not in love with the color but, I use it occasionally when I want to try something different.

CoverGirl Trublend Blush - 200 Medium Rose








The marbled baked blush is dermatologically and clinically tested. It's oil-free and ultra blendable due to the multi-tone shades to give the perfect "glowy" look. I wear blush daily as part of my makeup routine but, I find it hard to get the perfect "glowy, dewy" blushed look. I find either blush are too dark or light for my skin tone. Unfortunately, this blush had a bit of a chalky look and wasn't very noticeable. I might have to try another color because this makeup line did get good reviews.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush - Fanciful





I recently found this limited edition blush in my collection and thought I would add it in rotation. Granted, I haven't even a dent in any of my currently 30 open blushes -- but one has to treat themselves, right???

Like the other Tarte blushes, this one is also infused with Amazonian clay that was naturally baked by the sun. It promises a 12 hour fade free finish and with a wide range of finishes such as satin, shimmer, and matte. The dermatologist tested blush is formulated without parabens, triclosan, mineral oil, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, and gluten.

Unlike a few other blushes I have tried, this blush has a more powdery/chalky texture. It didn't last a full 12 hours on me and while it has a nice  matte pinkish mauve color, I had to really blend it in to avoid a chalky look.

Holika Holika Gudotama Lazy and Easy Blush - Grapefruit

















Love the oh-so-cute packaging for this blush. The plastic container is like the standard BB/CC container with a strip of bacon sealing the container. The pouf is similar to stiff sponge that helps deposit, blend and disperse the product. The product is a mixture of marshmellowy, spongey, mousse with a bit of a bounce. It has a wet feeling but the product goes on dry and left a chalky finish. It takes a feel swipes of the sponge to get color which goes on sheer but it is buildable. I like that it's sheer and not very bold which is good for people who work in places with strict dress codes.

Cargo Cosmetics Blush and Bronzer Duo - Catalina & Medium



A convenient duo of medium tone bronzer and a soft pink blush. The formulas promised to be silky smooth but I found them to be a bit chalky. The good thing is that the formula goes on a bit sheer which allows you to build up the product to your desired shade.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush - Enthused







The solar baked natural clay blush promises 12 hours of coverage. The Amazonian clay reduces oil around pores to keep the product lasting longer. The clay's nourishing and hydrating properties help restore skin's moisture. The color reminds me a bit of Stila's Kitten but without the summer. It has a bit of a sand color. I also don't notice the blush lasting 12 hours. The color kind of washes me out and I will probably use this as a highlighter or as an eyeshadow.

Stila Pretty in Pink Blush









A limited edition release that was released last Valentine's Day (yes, I am a bit late). The duo blush is a soft pink and a slightly darker pink. The color is super sparkling and swirled together its a pretty pink (not even including the cute packaging!). Yum, perfect glow for date night.
