Topshop Blush in Flush

Topshop Blush in Flush £6.00/4g

 I know, another blush post! 

I've wanted this one for a while though after seeing it on so many blogs and last week I finally bought it.

I've actually never used a creme blusher before but all it takes is a few dots on your cheeks and a good bit of blending and you're good to go - I've been using my fingers to apply this and I've had no problems with it. 

Once blended out it's not as pink as it looks in the pan so don't be put off by the bright colour!

Budget Blushers

If there's one item I can't live without it's blusher. 

There is no colour in my face without it and unless I want to risk people thinking I'm ill, I never leave the house without it. Because of this my collection is growing ever bigger!

These are my newest, very affordable blushers.

Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades in Blushalicious £4.19/12g

I opted for the blusher instead of the bronzer because I don't tan enough, but this little palette is gorgeous! Each shade is big enough to pick up individually on a small blush brush, but they look just as pretty all swirled together. It's hard to pick a favourite shade but I would have to go for top left and bottom right.

George @ Asda Blush in Cheeky £2.50

I always have a cheeky peruse of the George makeup when I'm in Asda and this pretty little blush caught my eye. For £2.50 you really can't go wrong - it's a decent size, very pigmented and it lasts! Because it's so cheap I don't mind just throwing it in my bag everyday use. I have a million pink blushers but one more can't hurt. (Swatch below)

 

Beauty UK Blush in Peaches and Cream £3.99

I adore this blusher. I searched high and low for a nice peachy blush that didn't give me dirty, orange cheeks - Sleek Coral, I'm looking at you - and I'm so pleased I picked this one up. I was a little unsure as I'd never used Beauty UK before but I will be buying again! You can see it in action here and I've worn it almost everyday since. It does come with a small brush attached to the underneath but sadly it's rubbish!

Lily Lolo Mineral Blusher

 Lily Lolo Mineral Blusher in Candy Girl and Juicy Peach 3g £7.29 each

I bought these on a whim after seeing them in the beauty section of More magazine and I'm glad I did because they are so lovely!

I chose Candy Girl which is described as "a lovely shimmery, pale pink mineral blush" and Juicy Peach which is described as "a delicious creamy matte peach mineral blush".

The descriptions are both pretty accurate; you can see the shimmery-ness of the pink blush in my swatch. They are both creamy and lightweight to apply and you only need the smallest amount to get a really nice pop of colour so these will last a while.

These are ever so slightly cheaper than the Bourjois Little Round Pots and you get .5g more of product, so definite value for money there!

The little sifter pots are so cute - it's a pleasure to have them displayed on my dressing table. 

Lily Lolo also sell a variety of mineral foundations, bronzers, eyeshadows and concealers - some of which can be purchased as sample sizes for a mere £1.29 - ideal if you've never tried mineral before and don't want to fork out for something that may not work for you!

Lily Lolo can be found here.

My Top 4 Blushers

Natural Collection Blushed Cheeks in Pink Cloud £1.99

This blusher may be dirt cheap but you don't lose out on quality (in my opinion). This is an ideal blush for those with quite pale complexions, or a heavy hand when it comes to application! I like to load my brush with plenty of product and it gives my cheeks a healthy, flushed pink glow as if I've been for a brisk walk. I can still see the colour on my cheeks after a full day's wear and it doesn't give me clown cheeks! The packaging is basic but pretty, but for £1.99 I don't expect too much - the actual product is brilliant and that the main thing.

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher in Rose D'or £7.49

Now, I know the blogging world and his wife are in love with this blusher so I won't go on about it too much! This has been my go to blusher for a long time - you can see by how flat it's become - and I absolutely adore it. I was a little heavy handed with this blush once during a pretty bad cold which resulted in my boyfriend telling me I had 'prostiture cheeks', oops! Nevertheless, this hasn't stopped me and I would repurchase this again and again - the scent is just lovely and I know everyone hates on the brushes but I actually don't mind them. I find they are great for the apples of my cheeks.

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher in Lune D'or 7.49

This blush is a lovely golden/peach colour with a gorgeous shimmer running through it. My cheeks looks nice and highlighted with this and I like to use it over a tan for a bit of extra glow.

Sleek Blush in Flamingo £4.30

I haven't had this blush for very long but I quickly learned to apply it with a very light hand! It is the most gorgeous Barbie pink blush and I love to pair it with bright pink lips! I would use this blush more for a night out than everyday wear due to the high pigmentation. The packaging is pretty sturdy and the black makes it look very sleek and tidy.
