Blushing beauties





Thought I would do a few posts featuring all of my summer favourites in different makeup categories (hope that makes sense!).

So the two powder ones are Tatre's Amazonian clay 12 hour blushes in Exposed (the neutral pink) and Blissful (the coral). These are completely different colours yet both long lasting, natural looking and a dream to apply! Both buttery soft powders are matte in colour, although I think there might be a bit of something shimmery in Blissful, mostly as it is able to uplift my complexion with two quick swipes of a brush. And I love Exposed for its duel properties, well I like to use it when I'm lazy and can't be bothered to blush and bronze it up.., this does both in one!

The two little pots are Josie Maran's Coconut Watercolour Cheek Gelee's in Poppy Paradise (the big one) and Pink Escape (the little one). When I brought Poppy Paradise I did so purely on the recommendation of Viviannadoesmakeup, as I really trust her reviews, and I was not disappointment, although I was a bit wary of the bright red colour! But on the cheeks it looks lovely and I treated myself to a smaller version of another colour, this time I went for a bright pink and I love them. They bring such an easy pop of colour when blended into the cheeks with fingers or buffed with a small brush.

Finally the Josie Maran's Argan Color Stick in Pink Peony is the amazing rise gold packaged treat! I got this in a kit and it was purely a bonus. Until I tried it out and realised how amazing it was! (Also the actual Josie Maran liked my Instagram post of that kit- so happy about that!!!). The colour of this is literally the same as my natural flush, yet more perfected and luminous. I feel that if I ever look dull, overtired or ill I can pop this onto my cheeks with a quick sweep and blend with my fingers and I will automatically look more awake and radiant!

Since taking these photos I have also fallen in love with my Mac Extra Dimension blush in Seducted at Sea, which I have written a whole post about but I feel it's worth giving a shout out too now!

What have been your favourite blushes this summer?
