After watching a Lisa Eldridge video the other day, I realised I didn't have a blue based pink cream blush.  So that was my excuse to get Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow in Liquifuschia.

I was quite excited to see Kevyn Aucoin stocked at Space NK here in the UK.  I remember flicking through a copy of Face Forward eons ago (when I wasn't that into makeup) and being amazed at the transformations.  Having a piece of Kevyn Aucoin makeup won't make me a stellar makeup artist but it brings a smile to my face.

Rouge Bunny Rouge is one of those brands that I've wanted to try for a long time but in one way or another have delayed purchasing.  Not being able to actually see, touch and try the products at a counter is one of the.  Cost, on top of the former reason, is another.

So I had to rely on blogs for swatches of the products.  Being a BIG cheek product fan, I decided to try the Rouge Bunny Rouge Blush Wand Cheeks in Bloom in Vermeer.  (Yes, RBR products have wonderful and whimsical names that are a bit long and hard to remember.)

Round up of cream/gel/liquid blushes.

In my last post I wrote about the NARS cream blushes which has an almost powder like finish once applied.  Stila Convertible Color is very different.

NARS is well-known for blush (of the powder variety) due to the popularity of Orgasm.  But I find their cream blush formula to be just as good.

I have two cream blushes by NARS, Cactus Flower and Penny Lane, and they couldn't be more different.  Cactus Flower is a look-at-me super bright coral pink with shimmer and Penny Lane is a very understated muted pink.

Becca Lip and Creme Blush in Tuberose is cream blush that isn't too heavy nor oily.  However, it will not last the whole day on oily skin - I find that at the end of my work day, the colour has pretty much disappeared.  Saying that it should last longer on those with normal to dry skin.

It's very blendable and application is pretty much foolproof.  What I love about this blush is that it doesn't feel greasy - this is very important for me as I don't really need a shiny oil slick on my cheeks
