Kobeleen Powder Blusher Stick

I remember there was a time when I was obsessed with blushes. I had way too many and I couldn't stop buying them. I still love them, I just don't buy as much makeup as I used to.

That's why I was very excited when my mom gave me this one. The Kobeleen Powder Blusher Stick, which is not only super cute, but also has a presentation I haven't seen before. 

These blush sticks come in 4 different shades. The one I have is #02, Peach Milk Fufu, which is this peachy pink kinda shade, really cute!


Peach Milk Fufu


Honestly, I love its presentation, it has the perfect size to carry around without worrying about it breaking in your bag, retouching is easy cuz you don't have any loose powder fying around plus, it's really pretty to look at even tho it's very clean and simple. The color combination add some cuteness to it.


Now, about the actual product; it is a double end blush stick, in one end there's the blush and in the other one there is a soft sponge to apply and blend the product. 
It claims to be waterproof, sweat-proof and last for a long time. I didn't think it'd be as pigmented as it actually is but, pigmentation wise, I'm impressed. Durability is also great.
It has a matte finish and doesn't have any scent to it.


Application is easy too, I just dab it twice and blend with my favorite Sephora blush brush. To me that is enough to get a nice, natural color on my cheeks. But I guess you can apply more if you want a stronger color.



So to wrap it up, I've been loving this product, it's been my everyday blush lately and I'd defo like to try the other 3 shades they have. 💋

"You're making me blush!" | My latest blushes |



Hi there dollies!
Blushes are something I've been loving for some time now. I can't get enough of them! And even tho I usually go for pinks and peachy shades, I like to experiment with other colors from time to time too.

Today I'm gonna show you the latest addition to my blush family. Hehe.


I'm gonna start with the oldest, and they are from L.O.C.K Color. This is a brand developed by Korean makeup artists. I didn't really know much about it until its fun and cute packaging caught my eye.
I know that Korean makeup usually has good quality So I decided to give them a try.

I got 2 of their cushion blushes out of a collection of 4. It is actually my first time trying cushion blushes and even tho I messed up applying too much product the first time, I've been loving them. The application is easy once you get a hold of it and it has a very natural and fresh finish.

The first one is in number 1: Coral pink.
As the name says it, it is coral shade with a pink undertone. It is very bright and it adds the perfect pop of color to my cheeks.






The next one is number 2: Bronze Rose, which is a darker shade. It makes me feel a little tanned whenever I use it! (if that's even possible considering I'm on the pale side...)






They don't have a matte finish or shimmer, they just look like a fresh, natural blush. I usually like to apply some highlighter on top to kinda seal the color and make it stay in for longer and of course, to add some glow to it.

Durability wise they do last for a long time, pigmentation is also really good and their packaging is just lovely. I love the details such as how the girl's cheeks change color according to the shade of the blush or the pretty sponge to apply the product.

I still want to get the other two shades, I remember one was a lilac shade...I'm curious!!

The next one is kind of a dupe for the Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Blush.
This one's called Blushing Hearts Triple Baked Blusher. It's a lot cheaper, quality is really good and,  the presentation is as pretty.

This one comes with 3 different shades of pink: A pastel pink, pale pink and a slightly peachy pink. All of them with a shimmery finish.
It is pigmented and lasts for a long time, giving my cheeks a nice glow and blushed effect.






The last one is from Yoyoso and it's the first makeup product I try from all the cute stuff they have. It's the Vitality Floral Beauty Art Blush Powder Blusher (longest name ever) in pink.
It kinda reminds me of the TonyMoly Crystal blusher. They are both very subtle when it comes to pigmentation but, they do the job. I think most Korean blushes are like that anyway.

It comes with 2 different shades of pink, both matte.
Even tho the presentation is very simple and clean but, the details the pressed powder has makes it super pretty and girly.
I believe they had other 2 shades. I only remember an orange one that looked pretty good too.
I have to say I liked this product! It makes me want to try other products Yoyoso has to offer.




There you go, some of the "new" makeup I've been trying, liking and using lately. Let me know if you're interested in seeing more of the latest products I have.

The Color Workshop RADIANT Blush & Highlight Collection | Collectible Tin Case |



Hi dollies!
Not long ago I found this The Color Workshop RADIANT Blush & Highlight Collection palette at walmart, it was one of those Christmas gift packages that was for sale for a super duper cheap price after the Holidays and I just could't resist. To be honest, I've only seen this brand during this season and I never tried it before. I got it with no expectations at all.

After I bought it, I decided to search online and found both, good and bad impressions. Not only for this plaette but, for their products in general. So, after trying it for a couple of days, here are my own impressions and thoughts on this particular product as well as a mini review.

Let's start with some general info: From what I've seen, this is a special edition that includes a tin case. I saw they also had a contour and eyeshadow plaettes with collectible cases. You can also find them in their regular packaging.
This box came with a tin case, 2 blushes, 2 highlights and a face brush.



The presentation looks pretty enough to give away as a gift, also the tin case has very good quality and well, it is kinda cute.
The tin case doesn't come with a mirror as some other cases do, it is not a big deal for me but I know others would appreciate it.



Now, the brush isn't exactly the best quality but I wouldn't say it is the worst ever. And I've tried many, from cheap to brand name ones.The hair looks synthetic but it feels soft but, it doesn't look cheap. I just think it is too thin for a blush brush. Just saying!


Moving on to the blushes, we have 2 very different shades. One is a bright coral color and the other one, a soft pink. Both have a slight shimmery finish and no scent at all. (yay)
At first I thought the pink was not going to show my skin but it actually looks really pretty! (let's keep in mind I'm more on the pale side~)
I was surprised with the durability and with how pigmented they are.



As for the hightlights, I recently became a highlight fan so I was looking forward to try these. These shades are also very different. One is, again, a pink shade and the other is more like a gray-brownish color(?). Both are very shimmery and give a nice glow to the skin.



The only thing I didn't likie is the fact that the colors don't come with a name! and that is something that really annoys me. Hehe.

Other than that, I liked this palette! It is true that most of the time, you get what you pay for but this time it was a good surprise! I'm happy with it and I'll continue using it.

Too Faced Love Flush Dupe?




Dupes are cheaper products that can be compared to a more expensive high end products. They can be pretty similar in color and consistency.

Hello Dollies!
Not long ago I went to this random makeup store with my friends and got this Love Flush Long Lasting 16-hour Bush Palette because I thought it was too pretty to leave behind and, because I've been obssesing over blushes lately.
It said it was from a brand called Saniye, which I never heard about.

Once I got home and started researching for this brand I realized that it has many "dupes" (or should I say, copies) from different brands and that the original one was from Too Faced. I've been kinda disconnected from the Too Faced products for a while so, I had no idea. I gotta admit I was a little disappointed but I decided to try them anyway and I was super surprised with how good they are!


First of all, it really is pretty to look at. The palette comes with 6 different colors including pinks and peachy ones but it also has darker colors I never tried before.
I've been using each color for a week and they all look great! They are super long lasting and they have this nice, subtle sheen.
I've noticed they are also very pigmented, not bad for a "dupe." Plus, I got it for a very great price.

Let's take a look at the colors:



From left to right:
Love Hangover, Baby Love, I Will Always Love You, How Deep Is Your Love?, Justify My Love, Your Love Is King.

I think it wasn't a bad purchase after all, I see it as a way to test this one before actually spending a lot more money on the Too Faced one.
Could this be called dupe? Have you try any other dupes? Let me know!!
