CHANEL BLUSH : ROSE INITIAL
Chanel joues contrast powder blush - £31
This blusher has been on my wishlist for a couple of years now. Every time I get my makeup done at a Chanel counter, the makeup artist would always choose to use this shade on me and I think it just really suits my skintone very well and really flattering. I never caved in to purchasing this though due to the expensive price tag this came with and I always vow to try and find an alternative shade that is similar to this one.
This blush has tiny shimmery particles and the colour is quite multidimentional. I would describe the colouring of this to be quite similar to the infamous NARS orgasm shade but a bit more on the pinkier side. The blush itself is very finely milled and applies so nicely. I don't use the brush provided as I find it to be a little bit too small and fiddly to apply with therefore I choose to use the Real techniques blush brush to apply to get a nice finish. The product is easy to work with and I find that the pigmentation is just right as some heavily pigmented products are quite hard to use and blend out to create a nice finish.
I was quite suprised to say that this blush did last quite a long time on my skin despite my skin being combination oily and I have to blot throughout the day. The colour just seems to work very well with my other face products and I think that it is definitley worth the money. This has got to be an expensive splurge for me but I just can't believe how much I loved it and put off from buying this for all this time. This blush is now in my everyday make-up bag and taken the place of my truley loved NARS orgasm :)

Yes i finally gave in and purchased another NARS blush even though i really didn't need it. I have come to realise that i may have too many cheek products already and i wanted to take a little break from buying more and invest in other products instead. But no, i was naughty a while back when i realised that asos had 20% off everything and i cheekily bought this cream blush which i shouldn't have. However, as NARS hardly ever do discounts on their items, i was really tempted and clicked confirm order online. I received the package knowing what was inside and i was really excited..as with most products that i receive through the post :) The box looked like the usual sleek black packaging which i slowly unboxed and slid the brand new product out. It was so nice feeling a brand new NARS product since most of you would be familiar with how dirty and grimy the packaging can get eventually due to its rubbery texture.
I opened the lid on it and the colour was just so pretty. I don't own too many cream blushers so it was great to try something new for this summer because i heard that cream formulation blushes would give a more natural finish compared with a powdery one. The consistency of this is kind of oily to touch as opposed to creamy, but i'm not sure whether its just because it brand new or not. Regardless, the colour comes off quite sheer like a gel, but it was really buildable upon a few layers. What makes this product really pretty and appealing to me is its tiny flexes of gold shimmer which i think would look amazing when it catches the sun during the warm weather and i look forward to using it to give me a nice flush of colour when i go out. I'm so glad that i bought this for the discounted price and it was so worth it because i love NARS products and my collection of their products are slowly building up since their products are all great quality and i adore their packaging!
Do you own any NARS blushers? and which is your favourite shade?
