Tom Ford Cheek Color Blush in 06 Wicked Review and Swatches



(0,28oz./8g - 60USD) I loved that luxurious Tom Ford packaging but now that my blush is 1 year old I can see scratches all over it. Still an eye candy.
Wicked is a bright pink with a subtle sheen, it's too pink to use a generous amount. There is a fine line being pretty and looking like a clown when using such colors.

Too Faced Natural Radiance Face Palette Review and Swatches



(0,65oz./18,3g - 39USD) Being a fan of Too Faced, I am not happy to say that I don't like MOST of this palette, it has a poor quality. Everything you need for the face, in one compact palette sounds like a great idea though. I remember  my mom got me a toy makeup set when I was a child, overall this palette has that cheap smell.

Bronze Veil, my favorite thing of this palette, a dark bronzer, has tiny shimmers.
Creme Blush, too sticky and too oily, I can feel how badly this would break me out.
Blush, which is powder is nice, very similar to Nars Orgasm, bright peachy pink with golden shimmers.
Conceal, very thick and cakey to use on the face and creases horribly under the eyes.
Luminize, except for creasing it's not a bad product, has a nice glowy finish.
Brighten must be the worst, it has weird uneven finish when applied.

Chanel Powder Blush in 82 Reflex Review and Swatches



(0,14oz./4g - 43USD) Reflex is a lovely coral blush with tons of gold shimmers. You need to have a very light hand using this one because it's very pigmented. It's also so shimmery that you need to have a clean face, not oily because it can make you look oilier. I wear understated lips with it to not to have a very colorful face :)

MAC Powder Blush in Margin Review and Swatches

(0.21oz./6g - 20USD) Margin has a frost finish, but I can't say that it's frosty altough it has tiny shimmers in it. It's a lovely peachy bronze, doesn't have crazy amount of pigmentation like some other Mac blushes. Applies easily and blends evenly.

YSL Touche Blush 4 Apricot Review and Swatches




(4,5g/0,15oz. - 45USD) I must admit that the packaging looks so cool but I'm not sure if it's convenient. Because when you dab the sponge on your cheeks it just puts the color in the middle and then the shimmer/glitter all over. You can pretty much see what I mean in the picture above, I just dabbed 3 times and didn't blend. It has extreme amount of micro glitter which is not what I go for in a blush but I know that other shades in this range doesn't have this much shimmer. The color pay off is quite poor and it's unusual in high end brands, I don't think is a bad thing either, I don't want to bother and use a very light hand and blend, blend, blend.

Mac Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul Review and Swatches



(3,5g/0,11oz. - 22USD) Warm soul is a pinkish beige with gold pearl, this is how it looks in the compact but gold pearl gives warmth to this blush almost making it coral. It's somewhat sheer but not fully.

Givenchy Prisme Again Blush in 01 Timid Rose Review and Swatches




I used to own a Givenchy blush years ago, I loved it so I got a new one. The packaging is divine! It has a mirror and a cute brush which is very soft and big enough to actually use it. I just hate when a product comes with an applicator and you can't use it and when it takes so much space in the compact.
It has 4 shades that are all matte and they all look very chalky except the pink one. They look rather chalky when applied too. I'm not a fan of the shade but definitely a fan of the brand and the compact. This shade could only work if you have really pale complexion.

Sisley Paris Phyto Blush in #3 Mango


(10gr/0.35oz. - 85USD) So I accept that this is a splurge item, but is it really worth the price? I'm sure you can find tons of dupes. Think about a mango or a peach, add tiny little golden shimmers in it, that's it. It has just the right amount of pigmentation which makes it easy to use unlike many MAC ones. Packaging worths admiration, it has a gigantic mirror that you won't even need to go to bathroom.
It has a storage life of 36 months, but don't let this fool you, more storage life means more preservatives!

MAC Powder Blush in Her Blooming Cheek Review and Swatches



(6g/0,21oz. - 19,50USD) Her blooming cheek is extremely pigmented, you just need the tiniest amount of it or you'll look literally like a clown. It's probably the brightest pink blush you can find. It will give your cheeks a very youthful look if used wisely.

Chanel Blush Duo Tweed Effect in 20 Tweed Corail Review and Swatches





(0,19oz./5,5g - 45USD) This compact looks pretty small but it is almost as big as MAC ones, ofcourse double the price but hey! It's Chanel. If you have Sisley Paris blush duo in Mango don't get this because they are almost identical except Sisley one doesn't have shimmer. This soft coral, peachy, mangoish shade will look flattering on very light to medium dark skins. When you first open the packaging it has a spray on layer of shimmers but as you use it, it won't be that much intense, but it will still be shimmery.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Blush in Washed Rose 2 Review and Swatches



(4g/0.014oz - 24USD) Shimmer blush's packaging looks sleek, but the downside is that it doesn't have a mirror so it's not convenient. Other than that blush applies really well, very pigmented and this particular shade is very shimmery. It's a mauvy rose color with silver shimmers, very cool toned blush so it doesn't go well with my yellow toned skin, I don't use this blush at all.
