Get Cheeky Giveaway : Entry 14 by Chandana

Chandana has sent her 2nd entry for the blush giveaway :)

ELF Studio Blush Berry  Merry
This is another uniquely shaded blush. It is a pinky mauve with shimmers. A good choice for a social event or a family gathering.
This is a powder blush which needs careful application. If you are new to blushes, then mauveish blush is not the one to experiment with.

With good hold on blush application, this product definitely gives a glowy pink to the cheeks. For me with dry skin, this seems to be a perfect summer blush. :-)

EDITOR'S NOTE : It is one of the prettiest blushes I have come across Chandana!! I wish it was available here! 

Have u taken part in the Get Cheeky giveaway?? If not check out the below link :

Get Cheeky Giveaway : Entry 11 by Deepika!

Another entry by Deepika!

What did she send this time ??

Coral is one color that will never go out of fashion. Nigella Lawson flaunts coral on her cheeks with such ease! Just gives her the perfect glow!! Her love for orange, coral and red blushers is so evident in all her pictures!! 

So here is a blush, very close to my heart, not only because of the color but because of the price too!! I bought the Jordana blush stick in Coral Touch from Cherry culture at $2.99 without much expectation but it turned out to be such a beautiful everyday wear blush and one of my most used blushers!! 

The blush is coral in color (for those of you who didn't get it earlier :P)  with a warm pink undertone and has minute gold shimmer which isn't visible when applied. The gold shimmer adds a sheen to the color on the cheeks. I love gold and coral together! Such a fantastic combo!

Editor's Note : Corals and oranges luk wonderful on u yar! No wonder u like Nigella :) 

Get Cheeky Giveaway : Entry 10 by Chandana!

I should have posted d entries 2 days back but life is a lil hectic now! 

Anyways Entry 10 is by Chandana Tantri :) 

What she has to say :

This is my favorite blush : Maybelline Shimmer Powder Rosy Twinkle.

Though I find it a little powdery, I love the way it dusts my cheeks. The color is very subtle and it can never go wrong even if used with a heavy hand.

So, for some one who has been shy of blushes can now blush even more elegantly with this glowing peach shade. It is a kind of golden peach.

 

Editor's Note : The packaging looks elegant Chandana ! And the color is very beautiful!

Get Cheeky Giveaway : Entry 7 by Nickita!

Nickita has sent her first entry for the get cheeky giveaway :) So which is her favorite blush?? A sister of the blush I am giving away :D 

I'm in love with this amazing blush from Lakme - Absolute Cheek Chromatic Baked Blush and it is called Night sheen :D.OOOO for some reason I love the way it sounds :P. The shade is copper and it has tiny glitter particles perfect for the night out to make you stand amongst the rest. It is buildable and will look incredible on wheatish skin ^_^. <3 the way it blends on to the skin and remains there for a very looooooooooooong time.

I give this blush an A+++ :*

Blush Lust: MUA Blusher in Shade 5 Review and Swatches!

It is not Summer here yet kind of in between and I am already going bonkers about peaches and oranges! I am usually crazy about pink blushes but I seriously suffered from Pink Poisoning :S And that is when I received my MUA stuff ;) I didn't even glance twice at the other blusher. I saw this blusher in shade 5 and went to heaven!

• The blusher is packaged in a cute and tiny case.The case is fragile and I don't think it is travel friendly.
• It is dirt cheap at only 1 pound/85 bucks for 2.4 g ;) 
• The Blush is a peach shade with no hint of pink.Lighter and holds less orange in it than Faces Burnt Sienna.

• Is loaded with obvious gold shimmers.This shade is not exactly a party wear. U can use a light hand for everyday wear too :)
• The shade warms up the skin so well and the presence of golden shimmers make it apt for beach ;)
• The blush has a powdery texture.Lots of fallout thus.

• The pigmentation is low to average. I would rate it 2.5 out of 5.More than 2 swipes makes the shimmers stand out.
• The blush lasts for 3 hours after which the color fades leaving behind the shimmers. I had to wipe off the whole thing and put it afresh.

VERDICT:

For 1 pound it is a good deal and the color is a pretty peach that spells summers.If u are planning to get some MUA u can get tis :)

Blush Lust : Bourjois Little Pot Blusher in Rose Frisson Review and Swatches!

I have noticed a pattern in my makeup hauls. If it is lipsticks one month it is blushes the next month. And since it is the blush this time next month I will hoard only lipsticks next ;) Mayb it has got to do with me getting easily bored!

And I am gonna introduce another pink (sigh!) blush from my vanity :P Yea I am bored of pinks too.It is time to switch onto peaches and oranges on the blog ;)

• Bourjois Little pot blushers are the oldest blushers available to common women aka us.here is what they say:

Our timeless blusher has been around for almost 150 years and have made Bourjois famous worldwide thanks to its amazing texture and packaging.

The baked texture transforms when applied to the skin into an ultra-fine pressed powder, which is easy to apply and blends impeccably. One stroke of the brush reveals the irresistible aroma of the rose scented powder.

Its built-in mirror and brush is perfect for touch-ups on the go!

The Little round pot blush exists in 12 shades to match all skin tones.

• Did u know Cendre de Rose Brune is one of their oldest blusher shades ?? So if u r into Vintage stuff u must get that shade ;) I had the shade but misplaced it somewhere :( 
• Most of their blushes are shimmery but u can find a few good matte ones :) D'or means Golden in french so if a blush is named D'or it has loads of golden shimmer like Lilas D'or Amber D'or :)
• I got the shade Rose Frisson. 

• It has been aptly named as little round pot blusher as it is tiny blush case.Can easily fit inside the palm/jeans pocket.Also the color of the case matches the blush :)
• Packaging is pretty sturdy.Has a magnetic lock mechanism which clicks shut satisfactorily.
• The blush case houses a brush along with the blush.A mirror has also been provided which is handy for touch ups :)
• The brush provided is soft and can actually be used for blush application unlike the usual useless brushes provided with other blushes ;) Just wish the brush was placed in a separate compartment :\ Everytime I open the case it falls off.

• The shade Rose Frisson is a medium pink color with extremely subtle golden shimmer.
• Finish is satin due to the presence of shimmers.

• Honestly the pigmentation is just about average.One swipe is not enough to show up on me.I need 2 to 3 swipes to get the flushed look.I highly doubt it would show up on dusky skin.
• Lasted for 4 hours on me.

VERDICT:

This blush is a great pick me up shade for fair to medium skin.Would not call it a must have but being a blush hoarder I wanted at least one of these in my vanity. Hopefully I find the rose brune :\

U can check out other pretty shades as they have an extensive range :)

P.S: Happie Valentine's Day everybody! Have a great tym with ur loved ones :)

Blush Lust: Inglot Blush No.32 Review and Swatches!

Now Don't sigh and skip this post murmuring another Blush post :P What else would u expect here at my blog! maybe I would rename it the Blushing Geek?? Tomato with glasses?? 

I am not someone u can call an impulsive shopper.Maybe cuz of the fact that I can't take chances with my meager pocket money ;) 
But this particular blush I got on an impulse as 29/30 was unavailable on majorbrands.I wanted to get 55 which has been described online as cool toned plum.I put that into my cart but replaced it with this on in d last minute.
Lesson learnt: First hunch should always be heeded to ;)

• The packaging is same as that of other blush refills: blush housed in a metal pan  and placed inside a plastic case.Not sturdy but will do.

• Retails for Rs.350/- per pan for 6g (thou it has been mentioned as 7g online)

• And please don't go by the swatches put up by the site as there are seriously misleading!
• The color is coral pink (I can see a lil peach too) with silver shimmers.

• It has medium pigmentation.All u need is a single swipe.

• I use it a highlighter cum blush.
• The shimmers are not OTT but u need to be careful.U can brush off the shimmers to some extent :)
• I don't prefer shimmery blushes.But if u r okay with/like shimmery blushes then u will love this :)
• The texture is  smooth and powdery.And the fallout is less compared to the other 2 blushes I own.
• The finish has low level of shimmers so that works well for the in between categories like bday partys.
• Staying power is average.Lasts like for 3 hours on me and then d color fades leaving behind some shimmers.not ugly thou.
• Will suit fair and dusky skin tones.

VERDICT:
If u like shimmers/do not mind them then U will like the blush!It is such a pretty coral :) I only wish it was matte.But I make do as a highlighter :)

 

Blush Lust: Faces Glam On Powder Blush in Crimson Swatches and Review!

Do you like me shy away from shimmers??But still want that extra oomph for occasions??Then look nowhere, but here!Presenting Faces Glam On powder Blush in Crimson..bam bam bam (guitar duh!)

I have never been a fan of shimmers!I remember wearing the Maybelline frosted blush with silver shimmers for my bro's wedding.It gives me nightmares.Okay don't look at me like tat.I was hardly into makeup that time and didn't know what I was dng :\ 
 But shimmers are MANDATORY for Indian weddings and festivals.So here am reviewing the blush u anti shimmers might give a thot ;)

 

• Will set u back by Rs.400/-
• It is encased in a tiny round box and has a small mirror inside which is very useful.
• The packaging is sturdy and the case itself is highly reflective that U can use it as a mirror :) 

• Faces blush in Crimson is a beautiful  bright warm pink shade with *obvious* golden shimmers.The shimmers look OTT in the pan so much so I nearly regretted it.

• But on application and proper blending it turns out to be an enticing flush with a superb glow.The shimmers are not obvious if u don't stand under direct light.So they add glow needed for the festive season without gng overboard :) 

• The pigmentation is insane.U can easily look like a clown.So I wud suggest starting with a light application and then building up d intensity :)

• As I mentioned before, Blending is the key.U need to blend blend blend otherwise the blush looks patchy.
• The texture is powdery and there is substantial fall out.

• The finish is a between satiny to subtle shimmery.

• It lasts for about 6-7 hours on me :) I wore this on the morning of Diwali and it lasted on me till evening after which I did a touch up for the puja.

VERDICT: 
Will suit fair to dark skintones :) Fair skin tones need to use it sparingly.
I evidently won't use this for everyday wear but IMO this is the best for party wear if u are on budget and are not much inclined to shimmers.And beginners would find it ominous to work with but I love pigmented blushes so this one gets a Thumbs Up from me :)
