I had been wanting these for a while, I hadnt seen people use them but saw them A LOT in flat lays or beautiful photos for display, the gold round casings are so beautiful and when makeup.co.nz announced they were selling them I purchased 2 baked blush which are Dolce pink and Rose D'Oro.
They are smaller than the average sized blushes but they pack a punch! They lids secure strongly so you need a little bit of elbow grease to open these which is a great peace of mind if you pack these in your makeup bag. If you lift the middle piece it comes with a small brush and mirror which I haven't used.
Rose D'Oro is a medium bronzer warm shade, more like a bronzer mixed with a highlighter, I use this shade a lot, it brightens my cheeks and gives this beautiful glowy look and is perfect for my medium skin tone.
Dolce pink is a barbie pink with a touch of fuchsia, a sweep of this gives a flushed look to my cheeks and has been perfect for adding colour to my spring looks.
I have been using these a lot since I purchased these and I'm not sure as to why people don't talk about how great these are because they really are fantastic! Its only been recently I have seen Nikkie tutorials talk about Luminoso, every one needs to try these, especially for girls like me that would like to use blush.
I have this blush in luminoso. I bought it because a few makeup gurus were raving about it on YouTube and I tend to get sucked in with hype like That! I bought this off beauty joint quite a while ago now, there are a few nz online stores that now stock it too.
This line of blushes come in a little gold compact. It's shiny gold on top with a see through lid and a more matte gold on the bottom. I'm not the biggest fan of gold packaging as i kind of feel it looks cheapand this ddoesn't really change my mind. Just personal preference though, it isn't too big and does up securely which is the main thing. The palette always comes with a little brush (I never used it) under the blush.
Onto the blush. This color is a beautiful, domed peach beauty. It is enticing with its sparkle and just screams 'use me'. Now there is good and bad baked products. Some can be dry and have no color payoff. Luckily this is good. It's nice and smooth to touch and the color is pigmented and transfers well to your cheeks. Although this does have glitter in it, it's quite finely milled and you are not going to end up as a glitter bomb. This gives you a beautiful peach glow and leaves a gorgeous sheen to your cheeks.
The lasting power is good, I find this lasts pretty much all day on me. This blush will last so long too. I've used this so many times and the top part of the dome is only very slightly flattened.
I don't need anymore blush anytime soon but i would purchase again and to try out the other colors too. I would also recommend this, i think it would suit a variety of skin tones.
