My Current Top Five Blushes

 Hi everyone, a while ago I did a post on my current top five lipsticks this was a feature I was meant to carry on with but with other make up items but didn't get round to it, so here are my current top five blushes.

Top Row L-R Sleek Rose Gold, Illamasqua Hussy & e.l.f Tickled Pink 
Bottom Row 17 First Kiss & Bourjois Rose D'or

 Swatches
L-R Sleek Rose Gold, Illamasqua Hussy, e.l.f Tickled Pink , 17 First Kiss & Bourjois Rose D'or
♥ Sleek Rose Gold ♥
 It's a gorgeous warm pink blush with a golden shimmer, it's highly pigmented so you only need a light hand if you have pale skin like me. It adds a golden sheen to your cheeks without looking like a disco ball, I love it. They are £4.30 and available from Superdrug.

♥ Illamasqua Hussy ♥ 
This is highly pigmented matte pink blush so you only need a a light hand with your brush it gives a gorgeous flush of colour to the cheeks and has been a firm favourite of mine  since I got it, it can be seen here on an old FOTD

♥ e.l.f Tickled Pink ♥
This is the lightest of all the blushes and is a very subtle pink which needs quite a few sweeps of your brush depending on the amount of colour you want, but the colour is gorgeous and would look great on fair skinned girls, you can see a review and FOTD here.

♥ 17 First Kiss ♥
As you may see from the swatches above this has a subtle golden sheen to it so as well as adding gorgeous colour it gives a subtle sheen to your cheeks and for £3.49 it's an absolute steal. I have been wearing this quite a lot lately I think it would be great for most skin tones.

♥ Bourjois Rose D'or ♥
A gorgeous shade of pink which adds a subtle flush to your cheeks it has fine speckles of glitter which add a soft glow to your cheeks. You get a brush with this blush but I threw it away as I don't think it's very good I use my e.l.f stipple brush to apply all my blushes.

Do you share any of my current favourite blushers? What are yours?

  2. All these blushes look amazing! They're totally my type of colours. The only one I own is the Sleek and I'm quite happy with it :D. The 17 also looks amazing. Lovely post, you inspired me to reuse my Rose Gold, I usually save that for the summer.
