What is great about this product…
I’ll start by saying that this blush cost me $10.95 AUD. Yes. It’s cheap. (And cheerful.) Now, I am something of a makeup snob. I have expensive taste and I am really trying to push myself out of that pigeon hole to try and experiment with some new brands. I initially went on the hunt for ELF cosmetics, stumbled across the Crush Cosmetics website, was disappointed that none of their ELF products seemed to be in stock and ‘settled’ for NYX instead. I have heard a lot of good things about NYX stuff in the past (mostly from youtube beauty gurus) so was very curious to try some products out for myself. I bought quite a few things (that I will review in time) and the NYX Blush in Peach was the first thing I wore. It looks like this:
(note: this is the blush layered over MAC’s blush creme in the shade Ladyblush)
I have never been so instantly impressed with a blush before. The pigmentation is incredible, very dense and layerable (is that a word?) and it stayed on my cheeks throught the entire work day. For a ‘cheap’ blush, the quality is amazing. I can’t wait to try more from this brand!
What is not so great about this product…
This is going to sound really silly, but I don’t like the packaging. Well, I don’t like that the packaging differs from blush to blush. I ordered two blushes from NYX and they have different writing and different sized heart shapes on the front. I guess that is my only complaint about the blush – and for $10.95, I’m not sure I should even be complaining!
My Rating: 9/10
The NYX Powder Blush in Peach retails for $10.95 AUD and is available for online purchase from Crush Cosmetics.
