Sunday Riley Blush-Honest 104

Recently in the blog world there has been a lot of buzz about Sunday Riley Blushes.  I wanted both Blushing 101 and Honest 104, but Blushing was out of stock. Lucky for my bank account! Honest is a beautiful natural blush with a nice subtle glow.  I don't have another color like it in my collection. It is a  gorgeous glowing peachy nude color. It is pretty light but can be built up for a stronger look.  I have yet to fully test it out so will keep you updated. Here is what the product description says- This universally flattering blush is completely versatile, leaving your cheeks with a soft, flushed radiance or built up for more pigments to give a more dramatic effect.  Round shaped pigments give a silky feel and diffuse light for a smooth, natural, luminous finish. Sounds about right to me! Here are a few swatches!!

Clarins Instant Light Blush-Vitamin pink

After reading another wonderful review on Best Things In Beauty, I had to run out and get the new Clarins instant Light blush.  It is gorgeous!!  Do I need another Blush......Not really.  This was just too pretty to pass and it is different enough from the ones I own.  I purchased vitamin pink which is a medium, bright, rosy, bubblegum pink with silver shimmer. I have not worn this enough to give a full review, but will update soon. This comes in a different kind of packaging than I am used to.  It almost reminds me of a lipgloss with the doe foot applicator. It can be sheered out for a more subtle look.  Check it out! It is a great deal($28), which is another plus! Clarins describes it as a fluid texture that glides onto the cheeks giving a natural and luminous looking color.  Plant based mineral ingredients smooth and sculpt the cheek for optimized light reflection.  I purchased mine through Nordstrom.com.  Love their free shipping!!!

adding Armani tourmaline blush swatches

It is very hard to get this blush to photograph.  Here are a bunch of different swatches.  Some are heavier than others.  The last ones will be the heaviest.  Its odd because it is a cool pink, but with a bit of peach.  More product pics and description a few posts below.

Sneak peak-Armani's new tourmaline pink blush!

Just a quick peak at the new Armani blush! Swatches to follow later.  I was disappointed when I first swatched as it was very light and sheer, but once applied it was a bit more pigmented!  It is very, very light and will not work if you are darker than me. It does give a nice glow!   It has a bit of shimmer/fine sparkles. It is super hard to describe.  Some were wondering if it would be too cool for them, but as a warm skinned girl(NC15) it works.  It is a cool pink with an iridescence, yet it shines warm.  The swatches might help better than my description.  EDIT: more pics a few posts above!
