My Blush Collection

Hi everyone, it's been a while since my last post ^^
Today I wanna show you my blush collection, requested by some of my friends because they knew that I really really love blushes. This could be a blush porn, so take a deep breath, LOL!


So, these are the blushes that I have right now excluding my first blush that I have when I was on high school (Pixy in 01 Pink Flowers - discontinued) which already broken, messy, and dirty because it fell on the floor several times and that was the first time I realized that blush can break, and another blush that I already gave to my mom (MAC Beauty Powder in Summer Rose - Limited Edition) which I don't like because it's very sheer and takes a lot of effort to use it as a blush, but it has beautiful rose imprint on the surface though.

Okay, now let me open them for you so you can see the colour inside =D

I hope this is no too much. Some of them still brand new and unopened (NYX) while the other already opened but unused yet (Jordana, Milani, Face on Face) but I will use all of these babies for sure. Really really love all of them.

As you can see, I don't have extreme shade like deep purple, bright orange, or a very dark brown, all of them is very wearable. All of them is more about peach, pink, coral, and rosy shade. I have shimmery blush more than matte blush. Well, shimmer blush is pretty, hehehe. The brand is vary too from Indonesian brand to UK brand. Oh well, I don't have Korean brand like Etude and high end brand like Tarte, Benefit, Illamasqua, Stila, or Nars because their price is crazy.

The pigmentation, some of them is sheer and fool-proof and some of them is very pigmented and tricky. The texture, I have powder, baked (IMO, is the best!), cream, and stick. I haven't try liquid yet but I would love to try.

If you wondering why I really love blushes, well I have to say that blush is the most powerful weapon for me. It can brighten up my face instantly especially if I'm looking tired. If I don't sleep well, just a few swipe of blush, then my face looks fresh again with a touch of natural flush. And if my skin looks very pale, then blush can add warmth to my face. MAGIC!

So this is what I believe, “When a girl ceases to blush, she has lost the most powerful charm of her beauty” by Gregory The Great, St.

If you have any question about blushes that I have above, let me now =)

What is you favorite blush? Please share with me, I would love to know =D

Sleek Blush Flamingo and Pomegranate

Hi, how are you guys? It's been a long time since my last review. I'm so sorry because I've been so busy with my assignment. Now I'm back with another sleek blush to review, horray! I really like blush these days and Sleek in one of my favorite blushes because they're so pigmented and have a very unique shades.

I bought 2 more shades Flamingo (left) and Pomegranate (right). So now I have 4 Sleek blushes. Don't forget to check my Rose Gold and Life's a Peach here.


Flamingo
This is a unique pink shades for a blush. It's not just a regular classic pink blush. It's a bright pink with yellow undertone. Yes, it's a warm pink and the pink colour is just like a flamingo, lol. It's not matte but not shimmery. It has a sheen so Flamingo gives me a satin finish. Perfect for daily blush. Well, for me flamingo is a little bit hard to blend compared with the other so it takes a little time to blend it on my cheeks.


Pomegranate
It's another unique colour from Sleek blush. Well, I have to admit that it looks very scary on the pan. It's a burgundy with pink undertone. But when I wear it, it gives me a unique purple-red-pink colour with pink and gold shimmer. I love it! It's perfect for autumn and winter and it's perfect for party at night too because I found that the colour is too heavy for me if I wear it for day.


Flamingo and Pomegranate is very pigmented so apply it with a light hand. I never swipe the surface to apply, just dab it with light hand. Take a little bit more if necessary. Well, they last for less than 5 hours, so for the lasting power they're not super. It will suit almost all skintone from light to dark =)

Made in Taiwan

Expiration date: 24 months

Price: Rp 110000,00

Will I repurchase? Yes, I would love to buy another shades if my Sleek blush already hit pan, hehehe...

Here's my swatches for you =)

Sleek Blush Rose Gold and Life's a Peach

Well, finally I have blushes from Sleek. Sleek is a UK make up brand. I'm really curious about this product because every review that I read always said that this is the best drugstore blush out there. It's smooth, pigmented, and have a really beautiful shades.



For now I only have 2 and I can't wait to buy another shades. I have Rose Gold and Life's a Peach.

Left: Life's a Peach
Right: Rose Gold

Rose Gold
This shade is soooo beautiful. It's peachy rosy-pink with a gold shimmer. Very very pigmented. The first time I tried it, I swipe my big blush brush on the surface of the blush then swipe it to my cheek and the fact is I put too much on my cheek, lol. If you want to use this blush, just dab a little bit with your brush, and blend it well on your cheeks. Use a very light hand with this blush. It will give you a nice peachy rosy-pink cheeks with a really beautiful glow. A lot of woman are craving about this beautiful blush. Some woman named this shade "duochrome" because it looks like peachy gold and rosy-pink from side to side.



Life's a Peach
This is my first true peach blush. I always scared to try peach/orange blush. I always have pink or peachy pink blush. Everything is always with pink because I like dolly pink cheeks. I'm scared if peach blush won't suit my skintone. But I was wrong. This blush looks natural on my cheeks. This blush is not pigmented as the rose gold. It's a sheer blush but buildable so I don't have to worry if I will put too much on my cheeks. I need to swipe it 2-3 times to make them looks pretty on my cheeks. This peach blush is completely matte. This blush will looks good if you have light-medium skintone.



I know that it's hard to get this blush on the store so I get this from domestic online shop. Even this blush is hard to find in US. So, I feel lucky to have this blush in my case =D
Don't forget to grab them if you have a London trip or you can bought them online. I really recommend this blush for a high quality blush with a low price. The blush last on my cheeks for less than 5 hours :(

Made in Taiwan

Expiration date: 24 months (I think this blush will last forever because it's big enough for me. It contains 8 grams)

Price: Rp 110000,00

Will I repurchase? Absolutely! I can't wait to buy Flamingo and Pomegranate =D
