Not a long time ago I got my hands on gorgeous Max Factor Creme Puff blushers. These were on sale, so as I wanted to add some new blush shades in my collection, obviously I couldn't resist buying them. Hearing lots of positive reviews on these Max Factor blushes I already new they are going to be good.But who knew they are going to be that good.
The ones that I went for are Lavish Mauve and Gorgeous Berries. Two shades are quite the opposite yet I love them just equally. They have a really great pigmentation, glide onto cheeks perfectly and blend out as nicely. I think you can't tell it from the photos, but these blushes are slightly shimmery and give you a super healthy glow, so it is actually possible to use highlighter afterwards without looking like some kind of shiny alien. Their texture is extremely soft and feels luxurious on skin. Besides that, Creme Puff blushers are claimed to be dupes for Hourglass.
Now on the shades, I have to say that right now I reach out for Lavish Mauve more frequently. It is a stunning dusty pink colour with brown undertones. Usually I wouldn't chose pink as for my blush choice, however, this one is more on a natural side and looks nothing but fantastic with my skin tone. I would also recommend it for those of you who have pale skin! In addition, I know how difficult it is to find the right blush shade if you are going for lots of eyeshadows, but Lavish Mauve can be easily worn with smokey eye makeup and it won't look crazy or strange.
Name of Gorgeous Berries speaks for itself. For me, purchasing this shade was more of a experiment, because I always stay away from bright or dark blushes. As weird as it is, I have this fear that at the end I might turn out looking like clown with good ol' stain of product on the cheeks. I mean, for some people wearing a red lipstick is already a challenge and I have this thing with such blushes. Surprisingly, with this one I haven't had this problem. I grabbed the tiniest amount of product on the makeup brush, pop it on my cheeks, did a bit of blending and received one of the most beautiful berry shades I have ever seen.
Basically, I was a huge idiot for not trying out these goodies earlier. I think I am going to buy some more of Max Factor Creme Puff blushers because they are simply amazing and that is it.
What are your favourite drugstore blushes? Which ones should I try? I would love to know :) x
