Long wearing Blush

Make-up is not really my thing.  Actually, it took me a long time before finally accepting the fact that I need to look good every time I go to work.  For the past years, I have grown to love the process of putting make-up on my face.  Because of my fear of allergies and blemishes, I sought to purchase only the best brands in the market.  For today, let me talk about blush-ons.

The best blush that I have used so far is Revlon’s swirl blush (this was probably 2006).  During that time, it was Halle Berry who was the model for Revlon.  I was fascinated with the way it looks, pink blush with swirls of darker pink. Also, it was probably one of the first blush-ons that had that shimmery effect on your face.  Most importantly, even with a relatively higher price compared to others, it was a good buy because I was able to use it for more than a year! However, by the time I went out to buy another, I was told that they phased-out the product already… sad… And so I shifted to other Revlon blush-ons.  However, nothing can beat my swirl blush!

I remained loyal to Revlon.  Just recently, I bought their newest product- colorstaymineral blush. The packaging was good- it kind of has a 3D effect with the blush protruding out of its socket.  Anyway, the Revlon girl claimed that it was long wearing.  And so she said that for an expensive price of Php898- it was a great buy.  When it comes to beauty products, I admit that I am not an expert.  So, I trusted her and bought one.

I admit that the color was good on my face.  It also gave my face a nice shimmer which I liked.  However, it was not as long wearing as I have expected.  One day, I was surprised that I have already consumed the whole thing!  After 3 months, I needed to buy a new blush-on!  Disappointed, I went to Watsons and sought to find another brand.

In2it is one of the make-up brands that I really don’t give much attention to when I am in the cosmetics section.  Usually, I settle for Revlon, Maybelline, and Max Factor.  This time, I gave it a closer look… I then realized that it was a good find!

For one, it was very affordable! At Php379, I already have a dual blush which was also long wearing according to the sales lady. And what’s best is that the applicator is so soft and easy to use.

Because I found it to be so cheap, I decided to buy something else.  I heard from a friend that blush-ons look good if you blend it with a highlighter- more like a white blush if you’d ask me.  I discovered that in2it has a nice product like this and so I bought one.  Since I do not know how to use it, I asked the sales lady to give me a short demo.  True enough, it gave my face a beautiful and shimmery glow.  My friends and I were so excited to try it out and we had fun putting make-up on each other.  It is really a must-by for ladies!
