I'm a huge fan of Essence cosmetics. They are so affordable, accessible, and they make some pretty awesome products. Not to mention they are cruelty-free!
I have several of their Silky Touch blushes and love them! So, when they came out with some new blushes, you know I had to try at least one.
I picked mine up at Shoppers Drug Mart, and by the time I got there the only shade left was this one in Satin Love (it comes in 3 shades). It's the shade I had in mind anyway. It was only $3.99.
This shade looks like a rosy nude shade in the pan. Applied to my face I get a natural flush of colour as if I worked out or was out in the cold. It's the kind of shade that goes with any makeup look.
I was surprised when I came home and got to swatching and realized that I have nothing like it in my collection. That's always a great thing when you have a rather large makeup collection. 😊
The shade almost morphs itself. At times it looks rosy nude and other times it appears peachy nude but either way, it will end up going with whatever makeup look you choose. I love that!
This blush is very pigmented, you really need a light hand if you have fair skin. I'm sure it would look just beautiful on medium to darker skin tones as well as it is so pigmented. I didn't realize how dark it is until I compared it to my other blushes at home.
I find that I can use this as a sort of blush/bronzer too. I think it's going to look even better on me when I have a tan.
It's also very long-lasting. It stays on until I wash my makeup off at the end of the day! Pretty incredible for only $3.99. It acts like a high-end blush in my opinion.
This product is another winner from Essence (linked here) Now I'm curious about the other shades!

DeleteEssence products absolutely over-deliver for their price point - I'm always thinking I should try out more (I've only used the All About Matt fixing powder). I'm not a blush person but I'll definitely have to remember to check them out again.
ReplyDeleteYes! try out more. They have so many good products. I just picked up this blush in the coral too and it's just as awesome. The lash princess is HG mascara for $4.99!
DeleteWow, what a pretty blush, it looks so smooth, too xx
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty awesome! caved in and got the other colour. swatches soon xo
DeleteCan't thank you enough Amy - this is the PERFECT shade I've been looking for, and it's cheap as chips too! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing, lasts like a Tarte blush! Grab the coral too! I just picked it up and love it too. Swatches coming on that one . Xoxo
DeleteOh wow, that color is gorgeous! I never gave a chance to Essence, but this is probably 4th product which I find very interesting.
