Blush is something that can completely change a makeup look. On days that I forget to wear it people actually comment that I look tired or ask me what is wrong. Just a pinch of color on the cheeks really makes you look healthy and awake. I have shown countless high end blushes in the last few years and I am so excited to share with you a really affordable one from City Color Cosmetics. The Simply Glow Blush Duo in Flamingo Pink is one that I haven’t stopped wearing since it arrived on my doorstep.
With our Simply Glow Blush Duo you can use either choose one color or blend both together to get your perfect shade between the combination. Comes in 6 duo shades that combine a fabulous set of tones that works great for any skin type.” – City Color Cosmetics
The two shades look very much alike in the pan but swatched out you can tell that one is a bit more of a hot pink and the other a baby powder pink. One of my secrets to beautiful blush is applying more than one color. I like to brush my cheek with a lighter shade and have a bright pop on the apples of the cheek. It gives a more realistic 3-D type of effect. My secret is easily achieved with this duo.
You are not even going to believe the quality of these blushes. They are so soft, creamy and blend-able. I am actually kind of shocked to say that a blush that retails for $2.99 can even be compared to a NARS blush ($29). It is also similar in quality to Sleek Makeup blushes. This one sort of reminds me of of NARS Angelika.
Each pan consists of 2.10g of product so that is 4.2g!
City Color Cosmetics is new on the makeup scene and they are doing a fantastic job already. You can find their Simply Glow Blush Duos on their website and they retail at $2.99. It comes in 6 colors: Pink, Coral, Rose, Soft Pink, Burnt Orange, and the one shown today Flamingo Pink.
