Essence Blush Miami Roller Girl

Hey
       A few days back I shared my Essence haul with you and today I'll review the blush I got in that haul. Firstly, It has a very attractive name Dates On Skates, isn't that cute?

Now onto the review. Its the prettiest blush ever to look at.I mean just look at the colours. They are so vibrant and they attract your attention in a breath. You get three shades in one blush. Its a neon ombre' blush with shades ranging from hot pink, coral and hot orange. You can use all three shades individually or you can swipe your blush brush all over it to get a pretty looking  new colour. Its such a versatile product. Hell its 4 in 1.

The blush has cah-razy pigmentation. Its so pigmented that you have to really be careful while you apply it. Specially girls with fair skin tones need to apply it with a very light hand. Even for dark skin tones one has to be cautious. Even moderate can go overboard so caution is the key :)

The blush is purely matte with no hint of sparkle or shimmer of any sort.

What I don't like about this blush is that it has some fall out in the pan which makes it look untidy. The texture is a little powder. You can see the swatches it does look chalky but compared to the qualities its possesses you can and should overlook it.

The packaging is pretty standard. Its normal see through plastic. You can clearly see the product inside. The name of the product is printed in silver. I do feel that with a little scratching it might come off. I have traveled once with this blush but just to be careful I wrapped it in cotton and put it in my makeup case because having this break was a little too much pain for me to bear.

For the price its most definitely a steal and with the rate it is flying off the shelves you have to get your hands on it sooner than later. It goes out of stock in  a jiffy.
 
BTW did you know this roller girl collection was launched originally in 2012 but it has come to Pakistan in 2013. "Khula Tazaad" :P
Price & Availability: I got it from Just4Girls for Rs 440. Check out Essence on facebook here.

Final Verdict: You'll fall in love with it I know <3

All mixed up

PS I have applied it with a very light hand in all the photos

Mac Blush Mocha

Hello Readers!!!
                          Here I am with my first ever product review and the product I have chosen is my absolute favorite MAC Blush!!!!!!!

                         Mac has been a cult favorite,the Holy Grail of makeup and has stood its ground through all these years and who doesn't love a good blush?

      So lets start.

MAC Blush Mocha

Mocha: Matte soft plum-pink

             This blush is called Mocha and on the Mac website its described as a soft plum-pink (Matte). It is indeed a very soft pink and has very smooth texture. The best thing about it : Does not feel powdery or chalky at all. I have seen some matte blushes to feel powdery and crumbly but not this one. It has no fall out in fact on me it glides like a cream. I can't stop praising it. I just love the colour and the texture.
           
However all is not good about it. It is light on pigmentation so you have to apply a couple of times and it does not show very well on medium to dark skin tones. It would look really nice on people with fair and fair to medium tones. You can build it up but to a certain extent only.

Another plus point is it's blending power. It blends very nicely with no harsh lines. So you don't have to worry about that artificial flushed look. It glides on seamlessly. Yayy!!!
As regards to the staying power, over a foundation it should last for 6 hours or so.

Availability and price:

$21 and in Pakistan you can get it for around Rs. 2500

Since you get 6g of product this should last you a long time so no worries there. Get it from Shopaholic page on facebook. Also available on MAC Addict and leading cosmetics stores like Al-Fatah Lahore and Agha's in Khi.

My Final Verdict:
Go for it. You won't regret it!!! But if your skin tone is too dark leave this one and look for more pigmented shades.

This is how it looks on me

       

You have to build it up :(
