Bourjois Our Signature Blush

Total Love/Hate Relationship

I love this blush but also hate it. I have gone through 2 of these in the shade Rose de Jaspe (which is a mid-tone cool pink with shimmer, very much like the one in the picture but a little brighter), and am on my third one. The wearability is great, they stay on for hours, and the shimmer in them is very refined. My gripe is that every time I have purchased these, at Sephora, the case would break within 2-3 weeks after I started using them! Each time I had to wrap a rubber band around the case so the product and brush (pretty useful, by the way), so it doesn't get all over the place. The quality of the PRODUCT is great, the Packaging... not so much!

M.A.C. Lipglass

Some of my favorite lip glosses!

I can honestly say I like 90% of the shades that MAC comes out with for lipglasses. They are usually very wearable, some sheer, some more opaque, some with shimmer, some without. I find them very longwearing, and although they are slightly sticky or tacky at times, its worth it for gloss that lasts through drinking a beverage! I have several shades- Courting Rose- discontinued, sheer light pink with microglitter, Oh Baby- sheerish bronze with microglitter and shimmer, Greed- sheerish deep warm red, Nico- sheerish lavender with microglitter, viva glam V- muted pinkish nude with slight shimmer, Sond and Dance- discontinued, muted pinky nude ( a shade deeper than above), and several others. They are also reasonably priced for how long they last, although with several shades I've noticed that the scent starts to rot after maybe a year after opening.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Soft Colour Mono Blush

I have this in Apricot but not sure I will try other shades

I think that Apricot would best be described as a matte mid-tone warm peachy apricot with a slight shimmer. I have a very pale complexion and this gives a nice peachy glow to cheeks. I use it a lot when I'm wearing a lot of color on my eyes to offset and give a more natural effect for balance.
