Oh boy I’m so excited about this post and I have no
clue how to start it …. As you must’ve guessed it from the title I’m naming
today my favorite cheek products which are my all time favorites and what I own
the most and that makes it very difficult for me to narrow down the list. My
choices have changed quite a bit; I’m more into a matte bronzed definition
mixed with a soft blush topped with a subtle highlighter. Does that make sense
to you? Probably not… Keep on reading to figure out what goes inside my mind!!
I will cite the products in accordance of my order
of application. Hence, let’s first enroll my bronzer list.
On daily basis, I don’t contour, I only use the
same product to define and bronze. I’ll start with an iconic product that everybody
loves; the Benefit Hoola Bronzer. It’s a classic that lasts all day and looks
so natural on the skin offering a silky matte finish. It’s with no doubt my
go-to bronzer.
Another universal one that I’m obsessed with is the
Urban Decay Beached Bronzer. Having a creamy texture, it provides a gorgeous warmth
to the skin with a fresh effect. I love it!
Many were attracted by the smell of this product;
that’s like chocolate. Not my case. It is another matte bronzer but deeper in
color. Yes! you guessed it; it’s the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. It has
a great pigmentation and applies like
dream taking the contour/bronze to a totally new level.
I love Me a GOOD Blush. In fact, 2 things I can
never leave the house without; bronzer and blush. I don’t reach of the too many
I own and that’s why I’ll certainly have to declutter this category. For now,
let’s see the blushes I’ve been reaching for the most in 2016.
I have no idea how this first one got into my stash;
The Rimmel London Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush in 120 Pink Rose. That’s a
long name. It’s with no doubt not the type of blush I used to go for
nevertheless I’m very glad to have it. It’s a great day to day powders that’s
soft in texture and provides the most natural and fresh pop to the cheeks.
Another everyday choice of mine is the Wet n WildColor Icon Blush in Rose Champagne, which creates the perfect flush. It’s a
beautiful dusty rose color with a slight hint of shimmer. The texture is super
velvely and the pigmentation is great without being powdery.
Whenever we travel, I have to pick a Chanel Blush
from the airport. Don’t know why. The Chanel Joues Contraste in 15 Orchid Rose is
the last blush in the everyday section. It is a lovely pink with very light
blue undertones that gives a beautiful glow finish.
For quite some time, I thought there is a huge hype
around the Nars Orgasm Blush until I swatched it while in Paris at Sephora and
couldn’t resist picking up the super-size. It’s a medium warm pink with golden
shimmers that provides radiance and luminosity.
If I have to choose only one peach blush for the
rest of my life, it would certainly be
the Chanel Joues Contraste Blush in Malice. It’s very close to the Nars Orgasm
but not. The shimmer in Malice is barely there but the color is a light still
vibrant peachy pink.
My newest addiction is highlighters. Once more I
will say that I don’t own many of these. I’m still sticking to the same old
highlighter picks I posted last August with a new addition of the Makeup Revolution Shimmer Brick Radiant. I’m really obsessed with this highlighter! It
is insanely pigmented and has a buttery texture that makes the application so
easy. I love a good swirl of all the shades for a subtle golden glow.
