Let me tell you something.... blogging for 6 days straight is no joke. I'm halfway through the goal. Kudos to people who blog every single day all the time. Anywho... let's just jump right in today.
Day 3 of my 12 Days of Favorites is BLUSH!
I do love me a good blush, so I'm super excited to share my absolute favorites with you!
Now, when I say I love me a good blush... I mean just that... I love good blushes, but I don't own a lot. It's definitely one of the smaller factions of my collection. I've found what works and I rarely stray from that. And I do have to confess... one of these does have a stronger hold on my heart than the other.
Which do you want to read about first? My FAVORITE favorite... or just my favorite? I guess we'll go out with a bang, so favorite it is.
A fairly new purchase to me, the Physicians Formula Butter Blush is no joke. I love the butter bronzer so I never had a doubt that I'd love the formula. What I did doubt however was the shades. Before I accepted my true pale-ness, I was curious as to how these would show up on my skin let alone skin tones deeper than mine. And at $12.99 a pop, I was skeptical to try without swatching... which you can't really do at the drugstore. There were two original shades, Natural Glow and Plum Rose. They still only sell these two shades in Ulta, but I have seen two more shades at Wal-Mart.
The shade I picked up is Plum Rose. Let me tell you this is GORGEOUS! It glides on flawlessly. It's very rare that I find a blush that applies such as this. I HIGHLY recommend this shade. I love that it's a muted color. I'm not a fan of bright blushes with a ton of pigment that make me look like I walked out of a circus. This is definitely one of the BEST every day blushes on the market... at least that I've tried.
Now... you guessed it... my FAVORITE favorite blush!
I've been using the Japonesque Velvet Touch Blush in Shade 02 for YEARS! It has never once failed me! It has never been patchy. It has never blended poorly. It has never made me look anything less than perfectly flushed.
Now I know what you're thinking... "Kristin, it looks so boring... it kind of looks like a regular powder..." WRONG. I don't know how they make this but this shade is literally PERFECTION! This is the ONLY blush that has always blended perfectly with my bronzer. And we've all had that moment when you look at the blend between our blush and bronzer and it looks muddy and is a weird color. THIS NEVER DOES THAT! NOT ONE TIME!
I will forever repurchase this product. This is slightly more expensive than the Physician's Formula Butter Blush, but it is worth every cent of the $22 price tag.
If you told me I could only pick one blush to use for the rest of my life, I would pick the Japonesque blush hands down.
I'm very excited for tomorrow.... it's my favorite!
Can you guess what it is?
