Since I've never used cream blush before I had to get a new brush. I decided to go with the MAC's Large Angled Contour Brush 168, and I'm sure glad I did. This brush fits to the contours of my cheeks perfectly and gives me the sculpted cheeks that I love! Since it's duo-fiber I can use it with my powder blushes as well.
Angelika is a cotton candy pink with flecks of sparkle. Super Orgasm is a peach-pink with lots of gold glitter! If you're not a fan of glitter, you might be better off with Orgasm.
Cactus Flower is a coral-poppy cream blush with gold shimmer in it. I was worried it would be greasy, but it was light and applied smoothly. I set the blush with a little bit of translucent powder.
Here's my FOTD using Super Orgasm:
Face: Smashbox Photofinish Light, MAC Studio Fix Fluid & MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
Cheeks: NARS Blush in Super Orgasm
Eyes: Coastal Scents 88 Palette, Stila liquid liner pen in Black, L'Oreal Carbon mascara
Eyebrows: MAC eyebrow pencil in Spiked, MAC eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown
Lashes: Andrea lash 26 (black)
Lips: MAC Dazzleglass in Bare Necessity
I definitely plan on using these blushes in my future looks, so check back soon! :)

I'm also a blush powder lover lol I always walk by Cactus flower and try to decide if I should get it or not as I don't own any Nars cream blushes! How are you liking it, and how is the applying and staying power of it? Thanks love!

Love the lashes and the make-up!!!
ReplyDeleteReally love this look on you!
ReplyDeleteThe Red Cherry lashes were my first ones, and now that I tested the I would say they are great! Very nice quality and very inexpensive too.

@Jenny Penny I'm loving Cactus Flower! It goes on so smoothly and stays put all day...even more than my powder blushes! (I think I may I have a new go-to product). I also used a primer under my foundation, and set with translucent powder for extra staying power :)
