Confessions of a makeup shopaholic (:: Makeup Collection

Hello loves :)

Another part of my makeup collection, this time it's blushes! You can see my first part, which were highlighters, here -> click. Please be aware, it's a picture heavy post ;)

1. Catrice Defining Blush - 050 Apropos Apricot

To be honest with you, this one is definitely not one of my favourites in my collection. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice product, just doesn't work for me the best. It's very pigmented and I prefer my blushes less pigmented, because you can (most of them) still build them up. But when it's very pigmented you can easily go overboard and look like a clown :D

2. Lovie Blusher

I love the colour of this blush, it's really unique. Btw it's really a random brand, I don't even remember where I got it from :D

3. Maxfactor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush - 07 Soft Candy

I was avoiding cream products for quite a while because I thought they're hard to work with, but let me tell you if you want a really natural looking flush on your cheeks, cream consistency is the way to go! I really like how blendable the cream blushes are and the finished look is always nice.

4. Kiko Colour Veil Blush - 01 Pink

The latest addition to my collection is this pretty Kiko blush. I love the colour but it is more of a peachy pink. It is also highly pigmented so you have to be careful with the application.

5. The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex You & Face Blusher - 08 Orange Syrup

Yep, the packaging definitely sold me! :) The Face Shop is a Korean brand that not many people know, but they have so cute products <3 It doesn't hurt the colour is really pretty too, it will be amazing in summer!

6 & 7. Avon Blush & Bronze trio and Avon Ideal Luminous Blush - Antique Rose

The trio product is not my favourite is I have mentioned already in a few posts, because of the strong scent which literally makes me sick. Anyway the blush is also poorly pigmented.

On the other hand the single blush is amazing. First I adore the packaging and the colour is really pretty. And it's not scented at all!

8. Elf Blush

I wish I knew the shade of this blush but I sadly don't because it rubbed off the packaging :( It's however an awesome blush. It gives an amazing peachy glow with gold glitter, I love it in the summer. Somehow I have quite a lot of peachy blushes :P

9 & 10. Essence "Happy Holidays" LE Blush Stick - 01 Run, Run, Rudolph! and Essence "Rebels" LE Lip & Cheek Pot - 01 Peach Punk

The blush stick is pretty much amazing, I love it in the winter, gives such a natural flush to your cheeks and it's really blendable. The lip and cheek pot however I didn't use as much as the blush stick, I think the colour is much brighter and that's what scares me :P

11, 12 & 13. Essence Soo Blush! Cream To Powder Blush - 20 Everything Is Better In Pink, Essence Blush Up! Powder Blush - 20 Pinky Flow and Essence Silky Touch Blush - 90 Summer Dreaming

Soo blush is another creamy blush that I'm really obsessed with. A Blush Up is quite nice, but I barely use it, since I'm not a big fan of pink blushes and the silky touch blush I bought in the latest sale that Essence had, because it was discontinued. I'm ashamed but I haven't tried it yet :(

14 & 15. Essence "Happy Girls Are Pretty" LE Multi Colour Blush - 01 You Sweeten My Day! and Essence "Like An Unforgettable Kiss" LE Duo Blush - 01 Nothing But Lovestoned

Of course the packaging was the first thing I noticed, especially with the Unforgettable kiss collection since the blushes looked like Two Faced ones ;) However these didn't receive good reviews since they're not very pigmented, but I actually like that as I said before, because you can't go overboard with it.

16 & 17. Essence "Beauty Beats" LE Blush - 01 Groupie At Heart and Essence "Urbaniced" LE Blush - 01 The Sunny Side Of The Street

Again, not my favourites in the collection. But they're both nice, nothing special to me however.

18 & 19. Essence "Cinderella" LE Blush - 01 So This Is Love and Essence "Beach Cruisers" LE Blush - 01 I Love Summer Break

The Cinderella blush I bought because of the packaging (again haha what can I say, they always get me with cute stuff) and the fact that it was on sale for 0.99€, I couldn't pass it up. Now I'm scared to use it since it's so cute :D The Beach Cruisers blush I like because of the ombre effect.

20 & 21. Essence "Brit-Tea" LE Blush - 01 Tea-riffic Garden Party and Essence "Road Trip" LE Blush

I wanted blush from Brit-tea limited edition because of the rose design, it reminded me of Milani blushes. This one also got bad reviews because of the pigmentation, but for me it's decent. You can easily build it up if you want more. The blush from Road Trip LE I don't really like. It's matte but doesn't really show up on my skin.
