Lets be Friends!
Hello chic people! I hope everyone is having a wonderful
Wednesday. Normally today I post a new edition of Wednesday Wishlist, and trust me there is a lot more I have to say
about things I am looking forward to testing and seeing, especially the new
summer collections in makeup and what the new hottest fashion trends for summer
will be, but sincere we are getting into the warmer weather here in NY and
summer is literally just around the corner, I thought I would do my top five
blushes of the season instead. I hope you all enjoy this post and if you want
to see what my top blushes are then just keep reading.
Lets jump right in! These are in no particular order, just
five of the blushes I use the most during the warmer months and the ones I
think you should all put on your wish lists if you have not already checked
them out.
This blush is a bright orange-red color with warm
undertones. I have to admit I am a sucker for packaging and this beauty
definitely spoke to my heart! I was pleasantly surprised when I got the product
and it turned out to be as amazing as I’d hoped it would be. This crème blush
is delicate, yet highly pigmented if you use a heavy hand. It glides on like
butter and does not disrupt the foundation underneath. It has incredible
staying power and lasts all day on my oily/combo skin. I can’t recommend this
blush enough. It is also a cream so it will keep your cheeks looking glowy and
not dry or chalky like some powder blushes might. The packaging personifies
vintage Hollywood, with a youthful look. Charlotte created this blusher in her
Norman Parkinson collection to represent the color of love between him and his
wife Wenda. I must say not only does the blush represent love; I have fallen in
love with it. It is absolutely stunning. I know what you are thinking though,
that price tag right?!!! Well let me tell you. I use this blush almost everyday
and I have had it for at least a good 6 months now and as you can see I have
barely made a dent in it. This thing will last you a very long time, and
because it is so highly pigmented you literally only have to use a few dabs. I
like to apply it with a beauty blender for a diffused application and
look. The blush claims to be blendable,
weightless, and creamy. I say check, check, check please! It ticks all those
boxes and more. Definitely look into this blush for the summer months.
Next on my top five blushes is, none other than a cult
favorite on YouTube, NARS’s orgasm blush. This blush is a deep pink with golden
shimmering flecks, looks almost baby pink on the skin. I actually acquired this
blush for the first time from the Guy Bourdin collection and collaboration with
NARS cosmetics a few years ago and as you can see this palette is still going
strong. I believe the palette retailed for about $60 and let me tell you if you
have never tried a NARS blush these palettes are the way to go. Not only do you
get a ton more product than you would with a single blush, but you get other
colors to try as well for the price of just two blushes, in the regular single
packaging. I have to say there is not a single blush from NARS I have tried
that wasn’t great! These are a definite must have if you are a makeup lover
like I am. NARS is also currently hosting a limited edition packaging and size
of this gorgeous blush, if you guys care to check it out! They have titled this campaign #whatmakesyoublush ,
so be sure to tag and check them out on Instagram.
This blush is a universally usable color on every skin tone and with its high
pigmentation a little goes a long way with this one as well. You can build the
color up to look like you have just stepped out of a rigorous workout. Or
lightly dab it on for a sun kissed flush of color on the cheeks. I use this
color religiously during the summer and it looks amazing over pale or tanned
skin.

This blush is slightly golden bronze in tone with very
warm undertones and a peachy-orange appearance on the skin. I believe
originally this blush was marketed as BECCA’s limited edition skin perfector
highlighter, but the more people tested it out the more it became known as a
blush instead. If you look on the Sephora website it is now under the blushes
and no longer in the limited edition packaging that I bought it in. Once again
it’s just packaging, what really matters is the product and let me tell you
this one is a keeper. It is stunning!! If you are familiar at all with any of
BECCA’s skin perfector products you know there is nothing out there like them.
They look glittery on the outside, but when you apply them to your cheeks they
transform into this glowy, almost ethereal look to the skin with a hint of
peach tones to make your skin look healthy and bright. BECCA recently did their
second round collaboration with youtuber Jaclyn
Hill to create a palette with blushes and highlights. If you have not tried
any of their blushes or shimmering perfectors I suggest getting on this
palette. At a cost of $52 it is a bargain for what you are getting.
This blush is a true peach color with gold flecks and goes
on the cheeks very peachy and glowy without looking like you have glitter on
your face. One of the most affordable and another cult favorite on YouTube,
luminosos is a must-have! I know I have said this before about other blushes,
but honestly you cannot go wrong with this blush. I have to admit it’s the only
blush from Milani that I have tired, but if the rest are anything like luminosos
then I will be purchasing a hell of a lot more. This blush has buildable
pigmentation, and is very long lasting and did I mention how cheap it is?? I
mean this blush should cost more honestly due to what it provides, gorgeous
blush.
This is a plum pink tone blush with highlighter ambient
powder infused in a gorgeous marbleized pattern. It looks pink mauve on the
cheeks and glides on like butter. I know you think summer and mauve may not go
together, but I think this blush is gorgeous especially for summer because of
the laced ambient highlighter it has. When applied you get a pink plum shimmer
flush to the cheek that looks like you have been slightly pinched. Its long
lasting and blends like a dream. I highly recommend any hourglass product to be
honest. I definitely want to add more blushes to my collection of this brand. Comment below with what other Hourglass
blush colors I should try?
