Anyway, this post is about the shades that I have and showing you swatches prior to purchasing, which may be kind of late for most of you :P. I will say that the formulations of these blushes vary widely. Some of them are pretty hard and others are super creamy, so don't be alarmed if the consistencies are different.
L to R: Dusky Rose, Touch of Rose, Peachy Rose |
Dusky Rose is a favourite for many. It's a dark rosy red that gives the skin a natural flush of colour. I haven't played with this colour much, but feel it might be a staple come Fall/Winter.
Touch of Rose is supposed to be a subtle touch of rose, like the name suggests. It swatches brownish/pink but, goes on very sheer and adds the most beautiful glow to the cheeks. This is perhaps my favourite and most used blush because I can use it on days when I just want a glow or use it to intensify a powdered blush. I would probably rename this to Touch of Glow.
Peachy Rose is exactly as stated, a peachy blush. I hardly ever use it, I'm just not a fan of peachy/orangey shades on my skin, however, it is beautiful.
L to R: Barbie, Cotton Candy |
Cotton Candy is a gorgeous purple/pink shade that is so complimentary to my skin. I have some redness on my cheeks and find this works beautifully to counteract that. Not counteract as in conceal but, it doesn't enhance the redness and make my entire face look super flushed. Red cheeked gals, you'll understand. It doesn't go on as purple as it looks below, blends out beautifully.
I would highly recommend checking these cream blushes out, if you haven't already. My definite repurchase shades are Touch of Rose and Cotton Candy.
