Presenting the only blushes I really use & am very attached to....
[Clockwise starting from the leopard print box]:
Benefit Coralista ~ If you've been reading my blog forever, you must know how much I love this blush. This is the one blush I want to repurchase even though the first one is not even close to finishing. If it wasn't so darn pricey, I'd go buy a new box just to look at & smell (because it is scented, and mine has lost it). You should have seen the husband's face when I said this =D . Price ~ £23.50 in UK = Rs.2218.
MAC Bite Of An Apple (Matte) ~ Bite.Of.An.Apple. Say it slowly, and you'll feel a little wicked, like Snow White's Evil Queen herself. But there's nothing evil about the blush shade, it's one of the most amazing coral blushes I've ever seen. This is a Limited Edition that came out with MAC Venomous Villains Collection. Price: Rs.1210.
MAC Fleur Power (Satin) ~ This is my oldest most-used blush. It's my go-to blush when I'm confused what to use. It sits in that perfect place between pink & coral, and that's what makes it so reachable. Price: Rs.1150.
Lakmé Cheek Chromatic Baked Blush in Day Blushes ~ Swatches below will prove how it holds its own beside Benefit & MAC. More photos & I wore it here. Price: Rs.550.
MAC Cream Soda Betty Blush (Satin) ~ It may look too pale, but it shows up beautifully when applied. Medium peach when layered. Also a Limited Edition that came out with MAC Archie's Girls Collection. Price: Rs.1544.
*Some of the prices might have increased now.

In the pics is Real Techniques Blush Brush, which is what I use to apply blush these days, and I really like how soft it is. Shown here.

Enjoy your weekend! I started watching a new TV show, The Fall, a psychological thriller about a family man who's a serial killer & a female detective (played by Scully from The X Files), and the pilot made me want to watch more. If it doesn't hook me after 3 eps, I'm moving on to Top Of The Lake.
P.S: So overwhelmed by all the wonderful comments & love on the Best Beauty Blog Award post & Facebook Page. I'm feeling very grateful, and will be replying to all the comments bit by bit. Thanks again, everyone! ♥

ReplyDeletethe blushes are amazing and I have just started using Bite of an apple for bridals and its amazing...Corallista is a great highlighter for camera and photography though...I have to still venture into Fleur Power but with MAC Pro blushers on sale, this will have to wait a bit.

ReplyDeleteCynthia, have you tried any of Tarte's Amazonian blushes? I've heard heaps of good things about them and was wondering what you think!
