I am having gastric problems, due to the stress and crazy working hours and crazy eating hours this week.

And today I have a few things to submit.

And yet I am blogging.

Because I am bored with the work I am doing, I decided to take a break and write something else. Hehe.

And you have this post!

Alyssa requested a review on NYX Rouge Blush, and here goes! ^_^

Hm…

I will let the pictures do the talking first!

with flash

without flash

Colours are rather inaccurate for all colours, except Red Cheeks. Yeah, it is THAT red.

I shall do the colour description one by one

Glow – a cool tone mauve rose pink colour, not as bright as in both pictures. There’s no shimmer.

Rose Petal – Colour is a brownish rose pink, close to the colour without flash, but is a little darker in real life. No shimmers.

Golden – Brown with gold shimmer. The brown has a little mix of red/pink in it. Colour is rather similar to the one without flash.

Red Cheeks – Bright poppy red. No shimmers.

Swatches in 2 different lighting and angles

So you can kinda see that the blushers are rather pigmented. I only lightly dab my fingers into the pan and boy, they are so creamy and smooth! It glides rather easily, however, given that the fact it is kind soft and creamy, if you are not careful and used a little more strength in dabbing the blusher, it think it will leave a pretty obvious ugly dent in it!

Back to the pigmented part, the only colour that didn’t show up that well is Golden, it’s kinda sheer so I guess it’s much better off as a highlight rather than a blusher

Don’t be scared of the bright looking colours that Glow and Red Cheeks show you here, because once on the cheeks and blended properly, it’s lovely! I wore Red Cheeks and Glow when I was in Sabah, and yeah, totally lovely! I didn’t look like a clown or anything like that, but just a nice pinky red

I got this off Ryan aka Sgdrugstore from LYN during his CherryCulture spree, so do take a close watch on when he’s opening his spree again. If not mistaken, it’s open again after Chinese New Year

It’s a lovely purchase that I did not regret one bit, and one pan will last quite a long time given that I don’t need a lot for the colour to show. And I am eyeing on another 1 or 2 colours from them! I just wish they have a larger colour selection just like their powder blushes! ^_^

Hope you enjoyed the post!

P/S: A simple FOTD to be up of me having a simple eye makeup and wearing Red Cheeks in Sabah!
