too much of a good thing (part one)

lush is my downfall. I have far too much and only two cheeks. (well, two on my face)

My weakness is peach/coral blush...

l-r: MAC Margin, MAC Style, MAC Springsheen, Benefit Coralista
NARS Gina, NARS Orgasm, theBalm Hot Mama, NARS Torrid.

These blushers may look similar to the untrained eye, but to my trained eye - they are all different.

Here are my top three....

top to bottom: TheBalm - Hot Mama!, NARS - Gina and MAC - Style

Hot Mama! is absolutely beautiful. Very pigmented and very wearable. The coral is infused with a golden luminescence which mean that no highlight is required - bargain! Similar to NARS Orgasm, but I actually do prefer the texture of this blush.

NARS, Gina is a matt orangey-peachy blush. It gives a lovely flush of colour without being overbearing. This product would look great on tanned and olive skins, as well as the I love it because it's just such a wearable every day colour.

Lastly, over to you, MAC Style. This is a frost finish blush and again, it's beautiful - a warm peachy toned pink with gold shimmer running through it. It's very sheer, but also very buildable and it compliments my NW20 skin tone perfectly.

If I had to pick an overall favourite, I would have to choose HOT MAMA! as I just love the life it brings to my face.

What are your favourite coral toned blushes? I need more.

introduction...

My name is Lynsey, and i'm a cosmetic-aholic.

I am, I tell ya! I am fond of everything beauty and I am here to share my love with you.

I am 25, and I am Public Relations Assistant at a global media/finance company. I have a very unhealthy obsession with blush and nail varnish.

My love started a couple of years ago when I stumbled across the beauty community here on blogger/youtube. It's great to know that we are not alone in our obsession... isn't it?
