On a recent trip to Shop Rite for BBQ items, I was pleasantly surprised by the remodeling of the store.
I took a detour and stumbled on the beauty aisle (I swear it was calling my name!) and came across Black Radiance Artisan Color Baked Blush ($5).
Now I need blush like I need a hole in the head but I was swayed by the “NEW!/Nouveau!” decal in the left corner and figured I had to have it. I chose the color Warm Berry, it’s so bright and looks like the perfect color that can carry me into the fall/winter…
They can be quite fun, but my skin can get oily at times and that’s not a great combination.
Nevertheless, I can see why Becca’s Crème Blushes have won so many awards. It’s such a creamy and blendable formula! I bought this blush in the Dahlia shade, which is in the reddish/orange color family and looks fab on me…
The pigments are so rich and full and the powder is so finely milled that they blend really easily. Yum!
I wanted the Taj Mahal shade in particular for sooooooo long, but I just couldn’t justify the $25 price tag for another orange-y blush. My combination of MAC’s Orange eyeshadow and MAC’s Golden Bronze Iridescent Loose Powder was a bit more work, as far as blending goes, but achieved the same stellar results…
Ok, I was sucked into buying this blush after my Dior makeover at the Macy’s in Herald Square a few months back…
I wasn’t sure about the color, it was nice but it didn’t really knock my socks off. Plus, the lady doing my makeup wasn’t very pleasant and didn’t have the best eye for figuring out what colors worked best on me.
To top it all off, I felt realllllly guilty for spending $30 (yes, you read right) on even more blush.
Once upon a time, I was wandering through Rite-Aid after work. I saw a glimmering mirage in the distance, so I moved in for a better look. It was there, in the beloved cosmetics, aisle that I saw those magical yellow 2-for-1 signs plastered near most of the products in the L’Oreal High Intensity Pigments (H.I.P.) display…
