| L/R - The Makeup Store "Lush"; MAC "Melba" |
The Makeup Store blush in "Lush" and MAC blush in "Melba" are are both matte, making it perfect for cooler weather, but both do a fantastic job of defining the cheeks.

I've had Lush for a little while now, but haven't used it much because I preferred shimmery cheeks for summer.

Melba is a fairly recent addition to my collection. Tell you the truth I hadn't paid much attention to it until I saw it in Vivianna's blog and fell in love with the colour. She has used it in several looks, and reviewed it most recently in this video post, so have a look at it for more pics.

Both blushes are extremely pigmented so you only need to use a tiny bit. These are definitely going to be my winter staples.
What blushes are you loving right now?
Great swatches! I'm not a fan of shimmery blush in the winter either. Melba looks lovely x
ReplyDeleteI love matte blush! Great swatches, must check Melba out! (:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention hun! When I saw this postt pop upp on my dashboard I thought that it was Melba in the picture in the photo and it was! So happy that you love it as much as I do :) xx
ReplyDeleteLush is gorgeous on you. These will look great for autumn. I like shimmery blushes for summer too. Sigh...I wish it was still summer..
ReplyDelete@Nat - it just looks too unnaatural to be shimmery in winter, so matte blushes are perfect.
ReplyDelete@Wilbenshire - it's a great colour, def check it out.
@Viviana - no problems about the mention, I love your blog! And Melba is just fantastic, I don't know why I hadn't swatched it before at the shops, but seeing it on your blog I started paying attention to it and I'm so glad, it's perfect.
@Ling Tung - *sigh* we've got the cold and the rain to look forward to :(

Wow, I love the look of Lush! It's the nicest pinky-peach I've seen in a long time.

Melba looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteMelba looks like such a gorgeous shade!
ReplyDeleteMy current faves are sleek Pixie Pink and Illamasqua Sob <3
Melba is so pretty. I love MAC's Tenderling but not sure how well they compare.
ReplyDelete@25London - I quite like the Makeup Store, they have a nice variety of shades and products too.
ReplyDelete@Dee - thanks hun, I'm wearing Melba a lot lately, but I like them both.
@Cosmetic Junkie - thanks for the award, so sweet of you.
@Vonnie - I haven't seen the Nars one, but I def want to buy more of their products. And the hot pink cream one sounds great!
@Vintage makeup - thanks sweetie, i'm really liking the colour
@Jade - Oooh I down own any Sleek blushes, surely I need one!
@Chloeblue - I don't know what Tenderling looks like, and I'm going to resist the temptation to go check it out lest I love it too and get the urge to add to my collection. LOL

Im loving nars torrid and crazed at the moment. crazed is super shimmery but its getting warmer here so im allowed a bit of glitter =)
ReplyDelete@Imo - I saw Crazed the other day at the shops, loved it! but considering I'm going through a matte blush phase I'll be good and not go back for it. It is a gorgeous colour though!
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm buying these blushes too! YAY!
ReplyDeleteMelba is amazing!
Haute
They're both amazing but Melba wins for me.
ReplyDeleteI love these blushes. I have them too! NARS Gina is a similar matte shade. You should check it out if you are into a true peachy colour :)
