The Blush That Took Me By Surprise!

The first thing I do when I visit a makeup counter is look at their blushes.. And it is not rare that I instantly fall in love with one.. But the reason this blush took me by surprise is because it's from Clarins.. Now don't get me wrong.. I really like clarins heaps.. Love their products, but I rarely ever look at the their makeup.. But walking past their counter one day, this blush was just calling my name! 




Product

- Not very smooth
- Applies sheerly but is buildable
- Very tiny shimmers that give a beautiful sheen finish
- Blends well




My Final Thoughts: I fell in love with the colour of this blush as soon as I laid eyes on it.. And it even looks just as pretty on the cheeks! The colour is so lovely and vibrant and it's my first ever Clarins blush.. Only thing I don't like about this product is that fact that it's not as smooth as my other blushes.. But still a great blush and I'm so glad I have it!



Have you tried any Clarins blushes?

  10. Oh~ That is such a pretty shade!

    I've tried their bronzers and I was impressed with the product but the shade wasn't the best for me.

  11. That's a beautiful shade!! It almost reminds me of NARS Orgasm or Deepthroat but without the obvious gold shimmer... like a coral with pink undertones. Beautiful!

  14. Oh~ that blush is a lovely colour !
    The Clarins Blush Prodige Illuminating Cheek Colour line is a great collection of blushers. There are four shades, i have Miami Pink and Sunset Coral. They are gorgeous and definitely smooth. They buff into the skin beautifully and give a lovely illuminated glow whilst still looking natural. The texture is similar to a mineral powder- it is very finely milled. They are great at warming up the skin tone. I definitely recommend trying them !
    Another great post !
    Love Claudia xo
