Yes, the oh so popular "it" blushes of the moment. I am sure everyone and their grandma has talked about these already, but I'd thought I just make a brief post about my two cents with pictures and swatches, of course. This is not a full on review or anything. Just my initial thoughts. If someone would like to see a thorough review please let me know.
So Hautelook had a sale for Rock&Republic cosmetics a few weeks ago, and I decided finally to make a purchase because everyone was raving about their blushes. Their blushes retail for $40 but it was 50% off ($20) on Hautelook so I splurged a little. I bought 4 on a whim because I could not decide which one I wanted more.
I picked up 'Call Me', 'Seduce', 'X-Rated', and 'Kinky'. It took awhile to get to me because I had to wait for R&R to ship the products to Hautelook before Hautelook shipped it to me. When Hautelook shipped it to me it only took me a day so that was great! But anyways, I digress. I absolutely love these blushes! They are indeed like everyone said very very pigmented. The formula is very smooth and silky, and the packaging is gorgeous. They really put a lot or effort into packaging everything, even the box it comes in. There's 9grams of product in each so that's the same amount as a MAC MSF.
The swatches came out lovely except for 'Seduce'. 'Seduce' is actually a dark plumy shimmery color. Not so much of a muddy brown as it shows up. I tried taking a picture of it several times but I just could not capture the true color of it. I really wanted to try this color, because I love my MAC 'Stark-Naked' blush which is also a plum color. As for the other 3 colors, I love them! They give such a nice flush.
Because I loved these blushes so much I actually picked up another one in 'Spanked' from the R&R site since they were have a 50% off sale with 99 cents shipping. I don't have any pictures for that but maybe in future posts I'll talk about it a little more. :) It certainly deserves some mentioning because it's absolutely beautiful.
So if you are thinking about getting these blushes. Do not hesitate if you find them on sale! They are totally worth it every penny, and I am glad I got my hands on these.
BeautyStory is having a sale today August 3 @ 10:00AM EST so if you are interested you can check them out.
