Bows,Braids & Cakes: Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blushes

Hey!

These Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blushes were first released with the summer '12 collection, but now they are part of the permanent Revlon range.

I usually prefer cream blushes, especially for summer, as they look much more natural than the powder ones, and I am a huge fan of Revlon products, so I decided to give them a try. Also, all Revlon products were 3 for 2 at Boots (£7,99 each)!

There are three colours to choose from, Coral Reef (bright, vibrant coral), Flushed (cool pink) and Pinched (natural peach).

Coral Reef, Flushed and Pinched

First of all, the packaging is simple and pretty neat. The blushes come in a small, plastic, light container that do not take too much space, so they are perfect to carry in your bag or even a clutch. It would be nice though if it had a mirror, maybe built into the cap.

Pros

The texture of the blush is very smooth and it easy to apply with your fingers or with a brush without messing up
The blush is a firm cream, it is not sticky or greasy at all and when you apply it it gets a powdery texture.
It blends easily, has sheer pigmentation and it is buildable
It leaves a silk soft on the skin
Very natural look

Cons

Does not stay for too long (especially if you tend to get a bit oily during the day)
If using fingers, they must be very clean, we don't want any bacteria on our makeup or face : )
