Currently Blush Obsessed

Perhaps it's the weather, but lately, im always reaching for my blushes when i do my makeup. So in this post, i've decided to do a COTD - CHEEK of the Day-LOL(yes i just made that up) with my favourite blushes at the moment. I've posted about them before when i first got them, but i've only swatch it.

first off...

Nars Deep Throat - beautiful baby pink that can never be overdone. This must be the most beautiful pink blush i've ever seen. I love using this when i like to have a settle glow. The finish is sheen, which really gives you the glowly look. It's also very sheer, and needs to be packed on if you want it to pop. I had difficulty photographing this, even after packing it on.





Mac Hipness - i use this when i want my cheeks to be a bit more noticeable. You only need one layer of this. I find that if you pack it on, it looks a little too red. This colour is beautiful. The flash washed it out a bit, but in life it's a bit more reddish



they look basically identical in the photograph, but in reality, Hipness is more reddish/corally/bold, and Deep Throat is a sheer pink. Deep Throat is very natural.

Who else is obsessed with blushes?? Is there one that you absolutely LOVE? I've love to hear any suggestions, because i actually don't have too many blushes

Hi girlies!

This is going to be an overdue post. I intended to swatch these a while back, but i have been busy lately. I've noticed that I've been blogging only on rainy days! It's raining SO hard outside right now!

Any was, Sephora has finally opened in my area, and I'm super happy! I went there to return some skincare products that didn't work out for me and obtained a store credit. I ended up using that to splurge! :) I've always been a little hesitant in doing hauls, just because--- but I've been getting feed backs from readers that enjoy hauls and swatches, so I'll try to do a bit more of that!



So I've been hearing a lot about Nars Orgasm. I'm a little slow when it comes to trying the popular items, and Sephora is a 2 hours drive away from where i live, so i never really got a chance to try it. The other day while i was Sephora, i swatched it, but i wasn't as overly impressed. Instead, Nars Deep Throat looked amazing & i knew i had to have it!

This is my first nars blush-called Deep Throat I LOVE their names. LOL. It's a beautiful baby pink with gold reflects. Perfect for the natural pinky flush & looks amazingly flattering on fair skin. The pigmentation is incredible, my only complaint would be the packaging. It can get dirty quick, but fairly easy to clean. This is definately my favourite blush at the moment. I really recommend this blush!



I've also been looking for a nudish colour lipstick, that doesn't make me look sick. I was also curious to try out Nars product, so i decided to try their one lipstick. This one is called Belle De Jour and it can come off a bit too "orangie" but I have very pigmented lips so it doesn't come out like the picture i've swatched. I love the formula of the lipstick, because it doesn't dry out my lips, and i love the luster finish!


here is a swatch, i may do a lip swatch some time later


i also decided to try the New MakeupForever HD blush in shade 07. This comes out like a mousse, and it blends fairly nicely. I use my fingers to blend this out. You need very very very little. There is approximately 10 other shades, but i found this the most wearable for me. I imagine this would be suitable for the summer, because creamy blushes tend to give off a more natural look. My only complaint about this product is the pump. It wasn't very easy to control the amount pumped, so some product get wasted. This blush should last forever.

I was also browsing around Sears, a department store--and at the Shiseido counter, i found Pure Cosmetics on sale. I decided to pick some up. The packaging is similar to Nars, and can get dirty easily if your fingers aren't clean. The pigmentation is incredible, and the product is very soft. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have many shades left to chose from. I've also picked up a few of their items for the giveaway, so look out for that!



I realized that i don't really have white and grey eye shadows, so i decided to try this one. It's called Deluxe Grey

& here is a swatch


These are the blushes. I really like them, they are just so soft and pigmented!

this is Cyclamen & it has shimmering reflects.


This is Brownie & it may be a little too light if your are tan.

a swatch on my arm. bottom is Cyclamen & top is Brownie


i believe Pure Cosmetics is not sold in the US. They are quite expensive if you get them at the regular price. However, i believe they are liquidating, so if you happen to see this line, take advantage of the sale, because the product is definitely high quality!

This about wraps up my post. You may be able to tell that i've been blush-obsessed! I also have some other stuff i want to swatch and tell you guys about, but i'll save that for another post! Take care, <3 & thank you for reading!
