Beauty Buy of the week

Bobbi Brown Powder Blusher


Ok, so it's not technically a bargain beauty buy, as it is a little on the pricey side, but i have to say i decided to post about it, as it really is a little belter of a product as far as i'm concerned. So i'm going to be a little turncoat and jump into the 'you get what you pay for camp' on this one.

What with this lovely hot weather we have been having, my usual cream blusher hasn't really been cutting it. (Think halfway down my face by elevenses and you've just about got it). I had read excellent reviews about this blusher on various sites and seeing as i have been more than happy and repeat- purchased other items from her range i thought i would take the plunge.

I'm a little on the sallow side without my slap on, (read - looks like she's recently been exhumed and you're on the right track). I bought the No.6 Apricot, which is actually rather a rasperry pink colour with a hint of peach, which to be honest, rather surprised me as i was expecting something more peach-y perhaps with pink-ish undertones. Duh. I blame my crap monitor. However, it is a lovely, natural, flush-y colour, makes me look really wide awake (no mean feat that) and is also very highly pigmented and lasts pretty much all day without any touch ups.

I also found the product very easy to apply and unlike alot of other powder blushers i have tried, it sat nicely on my skin, didn't give a chalky effect or highlight some large-ish pores i have on my cheeks.

A little of this product goes a long way, which is something i have found with other Bobbi products i have tried, so good value for money i'll say, which is an added bonus!
