NYX Pinky Blush

NYX Pinky blush is screaming "matte hot pink" on the pan, but don't get intimidated with the color because with proper application, it goes divine on the cheeks; - creating lovely pink flushed cheeks! It actually reminds me of Mac Dollymix and a not-so-cool version of Nars Desire.

Here are some snapshots:

Few swipes on the apples of my cheeks and viola, a lovely pop of color that looks natural and healthy. However, I find that this blush doesn't stay very well on my skin and is a little bit on the chalky side. But considering it's overall quality for its price, NYX Pinky ($US6) is sweet deal!

Thoughts?

Until then.

Peace and Love!

NARS Madly Blush

Described as "seashell pink" by Nars, Madly to me is a great muted apricot brownish pink color with bits of shimmer that gives that subtle sun-kissed flush to the cheeks. It is highly pigmented, so I use this with a light hand or a skunk brush because applying a little bit more can instantly make this muddy looking on my skin tone (and shimmery too).

Here are some snaps:

It looks boring on the pan, but on the cheeks, it gives that warm soft summery look. I also like that it goes with everything; - from intense smokey eyes to bright bold lips. I even use this as an eye shadow! The only thing that I'm not fond of is that it is loosely pressed, making it a little bit powdery. But perhaps that makes this baby a lot easier to blend on the skin (wink).

Not my HG blush, but still, Madly is a pretty neutral blush to give that natural oomph! (I just prefer Luster on my skin tone) But anyhoo, here's Madly on my cheeks:

How about you? Do own this too? Are you madly madly in love with it? Let me know, ayt?

Until then.

Peace and Love!

NYX Blush in PB06 Peach

There is no better way to embrace the summer but with a healthy peachy glow! And even if you are in a budget, your cheeks can still be fabulous with the little help of NYX Peach!

NYX Peach is a pinkish peach based blush that gives the skin that soft lit-from-within glow. It blends well on my skin, has great pigmentation, and is extremely flattering on my fair skin. It's a matte, but still gives the skin that natural soft sheen. I also love its sleek packaging, its price (US$5) tag and the fact that the make up artist of Kim Kardashian uses this on her for that perfect peach flush (yep, I love Kim!).

However, there are a few things that I dislike about this blush. One, it's chalky. I hate the mess that it creates on my vanity table every time I use it. And second, it doesn't last long on my skin (max 3 hours). Perhaps, I'm just not used in having the need to retouch my blush. But other than those, I still think that this particular blush is a lovely make up find. :)
