Illamasqua Dixie & Rude Cream Blushes


I can never have enough of Illamasqua.. It's a brand that I reckon by far beats MAC blushes and lipsticks..

Dixie and Rude are new to my blush collection.. But I have fallen in love with them instantly...



Product

- Creamy but light formula.. Almost emollient like
- Very easy to blend
- Very pigmented as all their blushes are so you'll only need a little bit
- No shimmer
- Gives a beautiful dewy look to your cheeks
- Lasts all day
- Makes a great base for other powder blushes by intensifying any poorly pigmented powder blushes



How I Apply It

- I dab my MAC 188 brush on the product and blend away at the my cheeks


Who Will Enjoy This?

- Anyone who is looking for a long lasting cream blush
- Anyone who likes a dewy yet not overly dewy look
- Anyone who is looking for a cream base for their powder blushes


Who Won't Enjoy This?

- Those who aren't really into cream blushes


My Final Thoughts: Amazing amazing products.. My favourite cream blushes by far.. And I can see this lasting me a long time..


Would I Re-Purchase? Hell to the Yah!




Are you a fan of cream blushes?
Have you tried any Illamasqua Cream Blushes?

I haven't tried any Illamasqua products, but these cream blushes look lovely! I bet they really do give you a nice, dewy glow on the checks. ^^

Emily Quak said...

Rude looks so good - I am looking for peachy cheek colours and I can't wait to get my hands on one of these!

I lurveee these blushes, I bought promise the other day (pink) because I was trying to be god and not buy any more corals, but after seeing this post I want them!! x

Both Dixie and Rude are lovely colors. Personally I can't wear cream blushes, even a small amount, because they oil me up/break me out, but if I could I would buy these in a heartbeat.

Illamasqua is a great brand from what I've been hearing. I'm a big MAC & NARS blush fan and have been eyeing these, and Tarte's blushes for a few months now.

Great post!

I LOVE Coral Blushes!! Thanks for the review.

I think you'd also like Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for lips and cheeks in Cabo Coral.

Clare said...

I am a fan of cream blushes. Love them for the apples of the cheeks to create a dewy, minimal m/u look. Havne't tried Illamasqua, but would certainly like to. Great swatches as usual:)

I have yet to try out this brand, but I hear so many great things about their quality - I might have to add cream blushes to my wishlist this year! :)

Danielle said...

OOh, looks like I'm going to have try Dixie! Rude is a great blush, I really like it. I am so glad you did comps because again, like with Sable, I wanted to know how the two compared! Totally worth having both :)

Tiffany said...

I've always wanted Rude blush! They both look gorgeous, although I wonder if the formula may be a bit too creamy/oily for my oily skin :-/

Hate to be a sheep but I have to agree, Rude is stunnnnnnnning. I love it! I also really like the fact that they don't have shimmmer. Being that i'm headed to law school, I can't get enough of beautiful colors with no shimmer.
