Dream Bouncy Blushes

Another blush review today, Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes.  Out of the line of 10, I own 2 currently.  I have #70 in Hot Tamale and #30 in Candy Coral.

The Dream Bouncy Blushes are a new blush line from Maybelline that came out about two months ago.  I found mine at Ulta for $7.99 each.  When I bought them they were running a buy one, get one half off sale though.  The other shades in the line range from lighter pinks, neutral colors and a plum/wine. 

The formulation on these is, interesting.  It feels like a gel formula in pan but when you get it on your face, it dries like a powder.  They do feel quite "bouncy" to the touch as well.  I just use my fingers to apply mine since I think the product would get lodged in bristles on a brush. 

These just give you a sheer wash of color, but are easily build able.  I think these are nice for a day look, but they wear off pretty quickly.  Id say somewhere around 4-5 hours of wear time is all your going to get out of these unless you set them with an alike color.  They are interesting to try at least once, but I don't think I would go out of my way to repurchase any more colors, as my powder blushes work just fine.

Do any of you own these, or other colors?  What do you think of them?

Benefit CORALista

I will be doing my first review today on a product that I have owned for quite some time now. I think I bought this product in April of 2011. It’s the CORALista blush box from Benefit. I bought this from Ulta for $28 dollars (for .28 oz) you can also purchase this on sephora.com and benefit.com, or at a Sephora.

The box that I have is the original box where the lid is separate from the box itself and I hate this design, it’s not very convenient. I noticed that all of the newer boxes are starting to have the lid attached now, so I’m happy to see the change!

This blush is a coral, peachy pink that has some golden shimmer in it. When I apply this blush, it is very illuminating and warms the completion. Many times when I wear this, I don’t feel the need to add a cheek highlighter on top of this because it is so brightening. It applies smooth and has decent color payoff. (In one of the pictures below I have the color built up on the left and sheered out on the right) This color works best on lighter to medium skin tones. I think on darker skin tones this could look a little ashy.

One thing that is big positive for me with this blush is the scent. It has a light floral scent to it. You can’t smell it too much on your cheeks but you can when you open up the box to apply it. I’m not a huge fan of floral scents but this one is light enough that it is very pleasant and not overpowering.

This blush is a little on the expensive side at $1 per every .1 oz but with the color and scent, I think it is well worth it and I would defiantly repurchase this product.

Do any of you have this blush? If so, let me know what you think of it!

Always will be,
