The Blush Addict Tag

16. September 2015

I would never have considered myself as a blush addict since I have way more lip products than blushes, but after being nominated by KimKine (please do check out her wonderful blog!) I discovered that I have a bunch of blushes and for people with only one or two this might already be considered as an addict. Hopefully, you will enjoy my collection of blushes, although most of them are no high-end blushes and most shades are similar :’D

The Blush Addict Tag

1. What colour blush suits you the most?

I like rose shades, but I think coral/peachy shades suit me most…

2. Pressed/cream/loose blush?

I like cream blushes because it is so easy to use them on the go. Most of my blushes are pressed blushes though.

3. Favourite shimmery blush?

Usually I don’t buy any shimmery blushes. But my favourite of the two I own is the Etude House Princess Happy Ending Rose Cheek Blusher.

4. Favourite matte blush?

At the moment it is Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in shade #11, before it was Bellapiere Mineral Blush Desert Rose.

1028 Visual Therapy Muse Powder Blush, Kryolan for Glossybox Blush, Bellapiere Mineral Blush

5. Favourite cream blush?

Skinfood Rose Essence Soft Cream Blusher and 3CE Creamy Cheek Stick

6. Favourite drugstore blush?

I used to buy the Manhattan Cream Blusher regulary, when I only used and owned one single blush.

7. Favourite high-end blush?

My only higher-end blush is the Benefit Dandelion Blush which is part of my Benefit Feelin’ Dandy Kit.

8. Favourite bright blush?

I don’t have any bright blushes. the brightest would be 1028 Visual Therapy Muse Powder Blush.

9. Biggest blush disappointment/regret?

Holika Holika Love Fantasy Blusher. It is so pretty, but the lid doesn’t close properly and it largely depends on the brush you use whether the pigmentation is visible or not.

10. Best blush packaging?

Etude House usually does a great job in packaging, so I’m very easily tempted to buy them. I’m still lusting for Canmake blushes because they look super pretty, too, but I didn’t try any yet.

11. What’s on your blush wish list?

Canmake blushes are on my wishlist. And the famous NARS Orgasm Blush is something I would love to try. Kiko also launched a new ollection with some beatiful cream blush colors.

12. Number 1 holy grail blush?

I don’t have a real holy grail blush yet, but I was positively surprised by the Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher, because I didn’t expected it to be too good. It is one of my most used blushes at the moment.

I have linked the blushes I reviewed in the text, so ou can read some more details about each blush if you are interested. You are also welcome to do the Blush Addict Tag yourself.

Unboxing: Glossybox Germany January 2014 Fresh Start Edition

23. January 2014
This years first Glossybox in Germany is the first box which was completely sold out at the beginning of the month since the time I’m getting it. The reason is probably the announced product inside of every box this time, which is Benefit’s Porefessionale. The theme of January 2014 is “Fresh Start Edition”. Let’s see what I received this month.

The box itself got a new make over for the new year. The material of the boxes is no longer matte, but glossy and the color is slightly pinker than before. Also the light pink unprinted ribbon was changed to a black ribbon with the Glossybox logo printed all over. I personally don’t like the new design. The boxes are more difficult to open and I liked the old design more, because the boxes didn’t look so cheap before. Also, since the logo was not printed on the ribbon and on the lid you could reuse all of it for gifts etc. I hope they will reconsider and change the design back to the old version.

Okay, I will talk about the content now, since this is the important part of it after all:
 Here are the items I received this month.
purple= english
green= german

Keep brows perfectly in place for hours with an invisible hold. Unruly brows are no match for this non-sticky, natural wax pencil. This loved-by-all formula will not flake or leave residue, so you can face the day with confidence.
 
Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream (trial size)
Invented by Japanese pharmacist Yoshikiyo Nowatari, Yu-Be (pronounced “YOO-BEE”) is a Glycerin-based moisturizing cream enriched with Vitamin E, Vitamin B2 and Camphor. It’s the uniquely high Glycerin content and absorbability achieved through a special manufacturing process in Japan, which makes Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream so effective on serious dry skin and truly sets it apart from other creams.

I’m happy about the content. absolutely! This is a nice start for 2014’s Glossyboxes. The items fit to the theme of this box, so I don’t mind that there is no decorative cosmetics this time. I’m using the Konjac Sponge daily now, it is so nice to use and so gentle on the same time (that’s why it is missing on the picture below, I couldn’t hold myself XD – actually, I just realized now that it is missing XD). This sponge and the Yu-Be Moisturizing skin Cream were definitively my highlights in this box apart from the benefit product, which is also great. Also the brow set will become handy, since I have bushy eyebrows such things are always useful. all in all I’m happy (I just wish they’ll change the box design back to old). I hope Glossybox will continue this way during this year. ♥

If you are ineterested in any product for me to review, just write a comment below….Also, my sister got this month aMissha BB cream in her Glossybox. she was so happy, and I’m happy, too, because I hope there will be more Missha products in future…or other Korean brands.

By the way, I didn’t present the boxes of November and December yet. Anybody still interested in a post about these two boxes? It seems I didn’t have enough time end of last year….:'(
