Review: Avon Satin Deluxe Blush

click to enlarge


Quality: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 4.5 out of 5
Size: .20 oz
Price: $10
Where To Buy: Avon.com

Ultrafine domed pressed powder perfect for blending. Wear alone or together.

I am really loving Avon's Satin Deluxe blush. There are 4 color choices, Bronzing Duo, Mauve Duo, Natural Duo, and Pink Duo. I have the Pink duo, which as you can see in the photo above has a light pink side and a dark pink side. The light pink is quite shimmery and good for highlighting, while the dark pink side is almost matte. Usually I wear the two together. This blush is very pigmented so use a very light hand. The first couple times I wore it I put on too much and looked a bit like a clown. Now I know to do just one light sweep across each color and blow/tap off the extra.

PROS:
-You get two colors
-Both sides are very pigmented
-The colors are easily blendable
-The blush is very soft

CONS:
-My only complaint is that when I open the lid I'm afraid that my finger will slip and scrape holes in the blush. Its more my fault then theirs, so I only docked half of a point

Review: Jane Blushing Cheeks Blushes



Quality: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Size: .12 oz
Price: $4
Where To Buy: Walgreens, Rite Aid, Wal Mart. Almost every week at least one of those places has it BOGO too.

Lord I LOVE these blushes! For a super cheap drug store brand, Jane has sure impressed me (and many others) with these little pots of heaven! I think there are 8 shades in all, they are just $4 and incredible quality.

Blushing Earth Sheer is a hot pot of gorgeous peachy coraly goodness! I can't even begin to describe how beautiful this blush it. There is a very fine shimmer, but its not very noticable when you're wearing it. This goes on semi sheer but is buildable. I just get a lovely glow when wearing this. This is my favorite blush out of all the ones I own.

Blushing Blossom is a great soft cool pink blush. It has no shimmer. You only need a little bit to get good color. This is my 2nd favorite blush.

Blushing Petal is a great muted pink blush with a little bit of peach. There is no shimmer. Great color payoff.
