I found myself in the makeup aisle at CVS today (although I swear I went in there for sunscreen and a birthday card) and couldn't help but pick myself up an angled blush brush. I'm going to be heading off on vacation soon and want to make sure I have all the tools I need to look my best while I'm away (that's a good enough excuse, right??). So that got me to thinking about blush in general and how one little swipe of color to the cheeks can really brighten or lighten up your whole face. One color that I love in particular is Dandelion by Benefit Cosmetics. It's a little on the pricey side at $28, but it comes with a cute little brush that's actually great for application, but it's a beautiful shimmery pink that is so feminine and gorgeous and works on just about everyone. Plus, I also use it to highlight my brow bones or even as a base eyeshadow when I'm feeling creative. It's enough color to be noticable but it's also soft enough to not shout, "LOOK AT ME, I'M WEARING BLUSH!!" which is not the kind of statement you want your blush to make. Anyway, I get nothing out of this, I just love the product and love telling other people about it. You can surely find a comprable and less expensive alternative, but then it wouldn't come in that adorable little package. ;)7.22.2009
A Personal Favorite
