Who says blush, says pink in 90% of the time. However, now that warm weather is on its way any moment, I find myself running to achieve that sun kissed look. God how I love it!!  Especially when paired with a peachy pink blush or lip. After looking around my stash, I discovered that I have an obsession about coral and peach blushes. Today I’m here to present what I came up with.

I will start with the e.l.f Baked Blush in Peachy Cheeky. I’m a lover of baked blushes I’ve got to say, I love the beautiful colour that comes from this type of formula and this little e.l.f is a gorgeous natural peach with just the right level of highlight that perks thing up and gives the cheeks such a pretty glow. The CatriceIlluminating Blush in Coral Me Maybe is as charming as its design, it is very pigmented and provides such a lovely radiance thanks to a fine shimmer in the formula. The Chanel Joues Contraste in Malice is a stunning coral-pink powder blush with a silky formula that adds a splendid flush of colour and warmth to the cheeks especially for warmer undertones. The Wet n Wild Blush inPearlescent Pink is my trusty and day-to-day blush and I’ve got to say that I wear it pretty much all year round. Though the name mentions pink, but it’s a lovely peachy pink with a fine gold shimmer which is the best to grant a little radiance to the skin. The irresistible hear shape Makeup Revolution BlushingHearts in Candy Queen of Hearts, previously reviewed here, is a combination of coral, peach and pink colours. It delivers a healthy and natural blossom without overpowering. The last one and certainly not the least, the Gosh Giant Blushin Passion, is very creamy and pigmented and provides a beautiful sun flushed look.

I hope you enjoy this post, as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks for your read!

Hello Dolls,

Bourjois is one of my favourite drugstore brands, though it’s been a while since I got anything from it. Recently I picked their brand new City Radiance Foundation. For those who don’t know me, I’m all about healthy radiant skin, and since Bourjois promises to maintain a bright and glowing complexion, I thought of giving this lil’ babe a go for my dehydrated and dull skin.

The Bourjois City Radiance Foundation is presented in a pretty squeezy pastel pink tube. The texture is creamy but lightweight and blends really well almost like a tinted moisturizer with light to medium coverage and dewy finish. The formula of the foundation is all about brightening with an SPF of 30 to protect from the sun exposure with an addition of an anti-pollution screen.

From the downside, I’ve got to say that it’s not the best foundation in terms of staying power even when using a primer as by end of the day, it starts to fade. Adding to that, only 3 shades are available in Dubai which I can only imagine that many people will struggle to find a match.

Overall, I think I like the City Radiance Foundation, though I wasn’t expecting that, I find myself reaching for it on days when I only need a light base. It definitely does what it claims; it hydrates the skin whilst giving it a unified finish with a bit of luminosity. Well done Bourjois!!

I really hope that was helpful. Happy Sunday!
