Sunday Riley Blushing 101 Blush

I recently reviewed another blush by Sunday Riley in the color Honest.  I loved it so much, I had to get it in the much raved about color, Blushing.  I originally was going to order it, but they were sold out.  I cant say enough good things about this blush!!  It is the perfect go to color!  I can wear it with any look and not have to think about it.  It is a great Neutral pink that adds a beautiful glow.  If you have not tried any of the Sunday Riley blushes, you are missing out.  They are finely milled and apply so smoothly like silk!  These pics are not the best due to the lack of sun, but they were the best I could do for now.

Sunday Riley Sangria Creme Gloss

Yesterday I reviewed Sunday Riley creme gloss in blackberry crush.  Today I am doing a quick review of Sangria.  Sangria is a very, very sheer pink with subtle hints of shimmer.  It is pretty much a My Lips But Better shade.  It is interesting how different it looks on my hand than on my lips.  Totally different!  I do like this color and find it flattering, but for $28 I find it hard to justify.  I do feel I could find a cheaper gloss and be just as happy.  While the shade is pretty on, the color is barley there. I was expecting Sangria to have a little more red to it.  I also was hoping it would have had a bit more color.  Also, when on the sparkles are not really noticeable which could be a plus or minus depending on your preferences.  The other thing I dislike is the taste.  It has a smell to it that I taste when on.  I hate to say this, but it is that cheap lip gloss taste.  It does go away after a short while, but so does the product.  I really don't have much more to say.

Sunday Riley Blackberry Crush Creme Gloss

I recently received a few products I ordered from Sunday Riley.  The whole experience of this purchase has been disappointing!  First of all, It took Barneys well over a week to process my order.  Next, when I emailed about it, I received what I felt was a rude response.  Finally, a couple of the products were huge misses.  For $28 I expect better quality than I would get at a drugstore.  The first thing I am reviewing is the Sunday Riley Creme Gloss in Blackberry crush.  I was advised that these were very sheer and to go with the darkest looking colors for better pigmentation.  I chose a couple of the darkest ones, one being blackberry crush.  The stock photo made it look like a dark purple.  When I applied it I was very disappointed.  It has pretty much no color once applied.  It gives a good amount of shine, and feels nice on the lips, but if I wanted a clear gloss I could have paid a lot less for one.  For my swatches I applied it extremely heavily.  In my swatch it looks like a decent amount of color, but don't let that fool you.  This looks nothing like my swatch when worn on my lips.  I really like Sunday Riley blushes and have heard great things about their shadows, but this is a miss.  I also purchased sangria, and that is a lot better.  I will review that this weekend.

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!!
