The Perfect Blush

One reason I love going to TK Maxx is that sometimes, you find fantastic things in their make-up section. This was exactly what happened when I strolled by and started almost hyperventilating when I saw they had Fusion Beauty products. I had been craving them for a while but even in the UK, they aren't easy to get hold of.

That's when I saw it, my soon to be favourite blush ever to have existed: The SculptDiva Blush in the shade Crave!

It comes in a pot and it looks all creamy but actually, it's more powdery than I had ever expected. You can probably use a brush to apply it also, but I like to go all neanderthal and use my fingers. When you dig into it, you can feel its creaminess but by the time it touches your cheeks it becomes perfect powder. And the best thing about it is that it somehow stays in place the entire day.

With powders, you tend to lose most of the effect during the day but I have never seen anything like this. It's pretty much a creamy version of a cheek stain. That is the only thing I can compare it to, in terms of durability.
The colour itself is this delicious pink peachy thing with just the right amount of shimmer. On my skin tone it looks incredibly natural.

It really just looks like I've had an afternoon in the sun and was left with a little tan.
I absolutely love this thing! As far as blushes go, there is nothing that I've tried that comes even close to it. I used to be a fan of the Benefit tints, but this is miles beyond that as it really doesn't "stain" your skin. Plus, the box says that the formula gives you more youthful looking cheeks? Apparently you can see that within a couple of weeks of using it. Now, I like to think my cheeks didn't look old before either...

Essence Souffle Touch Blush

I've been on the hunt for a cream blush for a much longer time than I wish, so once again in Amsterdam I figured it was almost impossible to not find one, because you know, they have pretty much all beauty brands I desire, up for sale.
I was super happy when I saw they moved the MAC counter and made it bigger and was sure I'd find my blush. I did not.
Luckily enough,they had Bobbi Brown there too! No blush in sight...

Same happened at the Lancome,Estee Lauder, Maybelline, L'Oreal and pretty much every other brand I checked. Happy Happy, Joy Joy!
You'd think that with the amount of creamy or bouncy blushes around in the US, us lovely folks over in Europe would get at least a fraction of them.

Well, as I was giving up hope, I went into the Kruidvat, which is pretty much your regular drugstore and what do I find? Precisely! The cream blush! Where? At the Essence counter...of all places!

Just like with the Catrice Gel eyeliner that I showed you HERE , I found my product of choice in the most unexpected of places and am actually satisfied with it!

I got the 010 Fresh Apricot  and gosh I love it!

I was super impressed how shimmery and gorgeous this color looked! I don't mind matte blushes but the ones with a shimmer give you an extra bit of freshness.

This is what it looks like on my skin

Doesn't it look great?
I love the frosty shimmer of it, and even if my skintone is a bit more yellow, it still looks great.

What I will say is that this is the only color that seemed to have this kind of shimmer, the others were a bit too dark and gloomy for my taste and lacked the shimer, or it was at least less visible.

I also like how light it is, clearly a souffle and super airy. You'd be surprised how light the whole jar is also, you can hardly feel you're holding it. A very practical thing when traveling with a weight limit!


All in all

I really like it! 
And I think it's even better than the Maybelline Bouncy Blush I was aiming for. If I find it, I will do a comparison for sure tho, but for now, I will enjoy this blush!
