L-R: Bourjois Blush Pot in Rose D'or, MAC Wonder Woman Blush in Amazon Princess, Smashbox blush in Proof Sheet, MAC Powder Blush in Fleur Power, MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty & MAC Mineralize Blush in Hang Loose.
I've done full posts on most of these products but I thought I would just do a quick post about the six blushes I've been reaching for recently. Usually it would have been 5 Favourites but I couldn't pick five!
Bourjois blush in Rose D'or is probably a blush most people have, and one which I absolutely adore. I've had a few compliments recently on this blush, not just in blog comments but in person too which is lovely. I've been told I really suit this blush so it's one that I wear most. Its a gorgeous pink with a gold iridescent glow to it. It looks really lovely on and it lasts for such a long time too. It really is that perfect natural colour.
MAC Wonder Woman Blush in Amazon Princess is also one I wear often, it's different from the pink blushes I usually wear as it's a bit brighter and also has blue/purple undertones. It only takes a small amount to look gorgeous so I can imagine it lasting a long time, it also stays on all well which is handy for wearing during the day.
Smashbox blush in Proof Sheet is another pink colour blush, but it's also leaning towards a nice coral colour. This is similar to the Bourjous Rose D'or and MAC Dainty but it doesn't have the glitter through it which makes it slightly more natural and matte. I wear this to work a lot to give me a nice glow.
MAC Fleur Power is a darker pink which I also absolutely love. It doesn't have any glitter in it, which is sometimes nice for a change, especially as you can mix and match with different highlighters. It's such a gorgeous colour, and the quality of MAC blushes is excellent. Well worth the price! This is actually the only powder blush I have by MAC that isn't mineralize (I think...) but this is probably going to change soon.
MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty is the first MAC blush I purchased and I think what began my blush buying frenzy. It's a light pink colour with a gorgeous glitter through it. I have a few light pink blushes because I think it's my natural glow anyway so I suit it best. It's also not too daring for daytime either.
Probably one of my most used blushes, it looks good on anyone.
MAC Mineralize Blush in Hang Loose from the Limited Edition In the Groove collection that everyone went mad for. It's a nice light pink teamed with a lilac/lavender colour. I have never seen a lilac blush before, and I wouldn't ever wear the lilac alone but blended together it looks so lovely.
I've only worn this a few times, but I like it because it's not like any other colour I own.

I'm a bit of a blush obsessive so I change which blush I use everyday. What are your thoughts?
Great picks, I have always been tempted to pick up Dainty, looks lovely in your swatch xx
ReplyDeleteOhhhh Fleur Power looks a lot pinkier than I thought.
ReplyDeleteFleur Power looks gorgeous, just added it to my wishlist ;) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm really thinkin of getting Fleur Power.. And the only thing that's stopping me is that HUGE blush collection I have :s Can someone have too many blushes?! One more won't hurt right =P
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love dainty + fleur power so much! xx
ReplyDeletemac amazon princess is probably my favourite!
ReplyDeletei've recently just purchased my first ever cream blush, maybelline dream touch blush in plummy pink. i travel quite often and my powder blushes always break, rendering them pretty much unusable when i get to my destination and/or after i get back home. it happened again on my recent trip to morocco so i just decided to try a cream blush, and i actually really like it! it's very blendable and very long wearing. i've only had it a week or so, but i'm very much liking it!

Ooh, Rose D'or looks perfect! I've been searching for blushers for a while now... I'm very pale, so they tend to look garish on my unless the color is light enough. I'll definitely check this out! <3
ReplyDeleteNice post. I've been considering getting the bourjois blush, so it was nice to hear your thoughts on it! :)

I've been dying to try a smashbox blush for ages, especially the new cream blushes for this spring! Great post :) X
ReplyDeleteReally happy you've done a blog post on blushers, as my MAC one has just run out and I need to buy a new one. I think I'll buy the bourjois blusher, as I've heard so many good things about it.

Blush is my biggest makeup vice, I have more of it than anything else.
ReplyDeleteI love Amazon Princess, I loved the post you did of it on its own. It really looks great on you.
Most of my blushes are pink but I can't resist a nice peach!

dying to try the wonderwoman stuff!
ReplyDeleteI'm really wanting to get the blush in Dainty. Recently my friend had a gorgeous blush on and I asked her what it was and she said it was Dainty and since then it's been on my wishlist! I'll definitely be getting it next time I buy from MAC :D Just need to get my pennies together now haha xxx
ReplyDeleteOoh I'd been thinking about getting Dainty, I own Hang Loose but it doesn't get much love since I have so many blushes. I'll have to start using it!
