Who can resist these five gorgeous, budget-friendly blushes?




Hard Candy Fox in Box – Spicy and Sweet (US $6.00)

After eyeing the Benefit Box O’ Powders I decided to quench my desire with the similar looking Hard Candy Fox in a Box. This falls among my sheer blush collection (not that I have many). I am a lover of bright, vivid, one-swipe shades. This is none of them. But this cute little thing is perfect for a soft peachy glow. I use all the colours together, because no matter how huge this appears in the picture, in real the quads are pretty small.


Beautyuk Stripey Blusher – no.3 Pink (US $5-6)

Yes yes I do like stripes and quads and duos more than one tone blushes! This is more pigmented than Hard Candy’s blush. A soft pink with slight silver shimmer! It is my favourite pink blush. The white stripe in it can used as a highlight too.


Sleek MakeUP Blush – Pan Tao (US $6.00)

This was a limited edition blush and I am so glad I bought this matte, bright orange beauty. It looks very flattering on my face and I totally love its pigmentation; the best thing about all Sleek blushes. It is pretty long-lasting too. Trust me buy ANY blush from Sleek’s collection and you won’t be disappointed.


NYX Powder Blush – Pinched (US $6.50)

NARS Orgasm – who doesn’t rave about it? The raves got to me too, sending me on a dupe hunt. Sleek’s Rose Gold and NYX’s Pinched are the two closest to Orgasm. Pinched is peachy pink with subtle gold shimmer which gives such a beautiful glow.


Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush – Pink Frosting (US $6.00)

This blush has been sadly discontinued replaced by the sheer Dream Bouncy Blushes, which are nothing close to as good as these. This one is a cool-toned bubblegum pink with gold shimmer. This mousse blush has a very velvety texture and lightweight feel.
