MAC Sheertone Blush in Blushbaby

Blushbaby is a sheer blush by MAC which means there is no chance of having clown cheeks :). It is a beautiful rosy pink shade which gives a natural flush and is perfect for everyday. 

MAC Sheertone Blush in Peaches

If you read my last post, you may have seen I recently hauled MAC Peaches. I absolutely love matte and sheer blushes. MAC Peaches is exactly as the name suggests a peach blush. This is perfect for summer and gives a nice and warm flush to cheeks. Perfect to pair with peachy, coral and orange lip colors. 

NYX Cream Blush in Glow

NYX cream blushes are really good, they last fairly okay and are easy to blend. Once blended, the NYX cream blush gives a beautiful glow on the cheeks. If you like cream blushes, you should definitely try NYX.

Tarte 12 hour Amazonian Clay  Blush in Exposed

Exposed is similar to MAC Blushbaby. I have done a post previously reviewing and comparing the two, check it out here. Exposed is a mauvy pink shade and is also good for everyday, pairs well with almost anything. 

Which are your favorite everyday blushes ? 

I Finally Hit Pan !! :)

This is  a quick post to share my good news with you guys .. I finally hit pan on my first product .. I have hit pan on the 'Color Bar blush in Plum brown'.. I believe this was one of my first blushes, a gorgeous matte everyday shade .. love this shade .. very easy to wear ..perfect for work ..

Colorbar is an Indian company and is quite popular amongst the Indian beauty bloggers ..I love their products. Coming back to the blush, its a neutral every day color, with slight peach hint to it. The blush is nicely pigmented and is finely milled and easy to apply and blend. I don't see any con with the product except that the lasting power could have been better ..

I believe the price was around INR 300/ 6 $ (when I bought it) .. Looking forward to making a bigger dent on this :)

Which was the first product you hit pan on ? 

Review - Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in 'Exposed'

Today's post is the review of Tarte 12- hour Amazonian Clay Blush in 'Exposed' and a quick comparison with MAC Blushbaby.
 

What the company says

A long-wearing, supremely soft blush infused with Amazonian clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and naturally baked by the sun.

Product Performance: This 12-hour blush universally benefits all skin types for a fade-free, flawless finish in shades ranging from soft to vivid and matte to shimmer to suit a wide variety of skin tones.

Powered By: Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place while also hydrating the skin naturally to restore moisture, reducing the appearance of dry, flaky skin.

Tarte 12- hour Amazonian Clay Blush in 'Exposed'

I am into natural looking, barely there blushes these days, am really enjoying my newly acquired Tarte Exposed & MAC Blushbaby blushes. The below pic is how Tarte exposed looks on me.

On me in different lights

• When swatched, Tarte Exposed and MAC Blushbaby look similar, Tarte Exposed is definitely more plummy and pinker as compared to MAC Blushbaby.
• On my cheeks, MAC Blush baby looks more like a muted dusty rose pink shade and Tarte exposed looks quite natural and more softer in comparison.  
• Both of them are buildable. Both of them are beautiful colors and are perfect for everyday. 
• On my skin tone, Exposed looks more natural and barely there as compared to Blushbaby (looks a gorgeous dusty rose when built up).

Tarte Exposed as compared to MAC Blushbaby

The Good

• It does not contain any parabens, petroleum or mineral oils
• Soft texture, easy to blend
• Beautiful everyday color 
• Fuss free shade will go with everything
• Has a mirror inside, good for on the go
• Pretty and sleek packaging 
• Its nice that the packaging matches the product inside, makes it easy to spot
• No fragrance 

The Bad

• Not available in Australia (you can get it from Ebay, I got mine on my US trip)
• Pricey - USD 25
• No brush  (may not be a con for some)
• Does not last for 12 hours on me (last for around 8-10 hours), which is good enough for me
