I may be a little late on the bandwagon with this product but I couldn't resist writing a post about it... it's amazing! This little beauty was a January sales purchase, it caught my eye as I was waiting in the queue in Topshop and as I'm a sucker for anything blusher related I just knew I had to have it. It was part of the limited edition Louise Gray for Topshop makeup line, originally priced at £12.50; I think I paid £6.00 for it in the sale.
The packaging is really eye-catching; a fluorescent green with a gold, spiky pattern on the top. It's a nice sized compact, with a mirror and two cream blushers. The colours look a bit intimidating in the compact, but they both give a lovely wash of colour on the cheeks. The coral/ orange shade blends nicely into a peachy colour, and the fuschia pink gives a beautiful "I've just come in from a wintery walk" flush; both very natural and pretty. I was expecting the texture of these to be a bit sticky on my skin, but they blend so well into a powdery finish on the cheeks I just can't help reaching for them every day. They've become a staple in my everyday makeup routine!
Now I know you're probably shouting at the screen as they were limited edition AND went into the January sales, so they're probably lost to the little shopping heaven in the sky....but, trying out these cream blushers has made me want to try some of the ones that are available as part of Topshops permanent line, and there are colours available which are very similar!
