I Can't Stop Buying - BareMineral's Blushes

I'm a huge bareMineral's fan, massive. Their Original Foundation is one of my holy grail make-up must haves but my love of their products doesn't stop there, oh no.

Let's talk about their blushes. Their wonderful colourful pots of joy. I have bought 7 bareMineral's blushes to date and I'm pretty sure my collection wont stop there.

Why do I love them so? For so many reasons I'd like to share with you.

First the facts - The blushes are a loose powder. They currently come in 28 shades & cost £19 for a 0.85g pot.

Now the fun stuff -  Their pigments are pretty much perfect. They're really soft, creamy and oh so *dreamy*.
If you use a light hand you get a wash of colour, a very slight flush- but they are totally build-able, so if you want a vibrant cheek it's just a few brush strokes away.

They really do give you a lovely radiant look, a real glow. The huge colour selection means there's something for everyone- my choices are all quite different. Something for every season, for every occasion.
Their wearability is impressive. I find that they last all day (especially if I've started with a primer). They've also got a great twisty top to them, meaning you can tap out into the lid as much powder as you so desire. 

Are they worth £19? Yes, absolutely. The pots last a long time, a seriously long time. There's a whole lotta product in those lovely (not so) little pots! I guess it goes without saying I would repurchase them.

Here's swatches of the colours I have: 

Left to right: Glory, Fruit Cocktail, Perfect Rose, Plush Peach, Precious Pearl, Sorbet, Marvelous Mauve. 

(Some of these may have been limited edition)

Out of these my current go-to is Fruit Cocktail; a hot pink that's perfect for the summer. 

I hope you've enjoyed reading about the blushes I can't stop buying! Give one a try, you won't regret it.

One beautiful blush

There's nothing nicer than a pretty product and this gorgeous blush from Hourglass ticks all the boxes. 

I've had my eye on the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes for a while. I really liked the idea of a colour combined with a lighting powder and I'm pleased to say my choice of 'Ethereal Glow' did not disappoint. There are 6 stunning colours to choose from, I opted for the lightest with the idea of using it as a combined highlighter and blush in one. 

The packing is lovely, a good sized mirror. The blush itself makes you want to reach out and touch it. It's velvety smooth. It applies beautifully. It doesn't last all day however it's such a pleasure to apply I don't mind having to re-touch! 

Is it worth £28? Well, probably yes. There's a lot of product packed in and let's face it, it's so blimin' lovely to look at. You could skip the highlighter with this blusher no problem at all. 

Would I repurchase, yes, however I would probably opt for a more vibrant colour next time. My choice of Ethereal Glow is definitely more ambient lighting powder than a colourful blush.... I have been using a blush and then blending this on top, concentrating on the tops of my cheek bones. 

After using this product I am now very tempted to try their Ambient Lighting Powders... Watch this space!
