Review: NYX Powder Blush in Apricot and Desert Rose...!!!
14:36:00Hey beauties,
Hope your week is off to a fantastic start. Today I am sharing my thoughts on two NYX powder blushes that I had on my wishlist for so long. Luckily I was able to get them from Reforma.Pk. Reforma.pk is a new online shopping store in Pakistan that offers a huge variety of branded cosmetics, beauty and skincare products, makeup tools and accessories, perfumes and much much more. So no more talking and let's get to the review to see what I have to say about these NYX Powder Blushes.

The texture of both the blushers is very soft and smooth. However, these blushers are a little trickier to blend and do not blend really easily and smoothly like other blushers. Both the shades are highly pigmented. But I felt that these blushers have a hard upper layer that needs to be scratched or removed to get even better color payoff. Nonetheless, the pigmentation is really amazing.
The shade "Apricot" is a really beautiful and subtle peachy coral shade. It has very fine shimmer in it which is not much visible once you apply it on the cheeks. Its finish is kind of semi-matte with very light sheen. I would call it a satin finish blush. The second shade "Desert Rose" is a lovely dark rosy pink shade. Its finish is semi-matte. Both the blushers do not emphasize any dryness or pores on the face skin and look very natural. The staying power of these blushers is not very remarkable but is pretty decent. These stay on my cheeks for about 4-5 hours or sometimes more.

DeleteI have Desert Rose and NYX creme bushes and I absolutely love them. Desert Rose is the perfect fall color and so perfect for pairing with pinky purple lipsticks <3
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try their cream blushes... Can't wait to get my hands on them.
DeleteBoth the shades are too good. But being a peachy shade lover, I love the apricot shade more. Would get it soon.

DeleteGreat review! I loved Desert rose and these blushes seem good for the price, just too bad about the blending and cheap packaging part.
ReplyDeleteWish they had better packaging and blend-ability. But I still love both the shades <3
DeleteThey love really beautiful <3 I always love your swatches. I am surprised they don;t blend so well though
ReplyDeleteThanks Sadaf. Ahh thats a shocker for me too. But with a lill effort they blend well and look pretty natural.
Deleteim eyeing on desert rose now!! Its soo pretty <3
ReplyDeleteAny specific brush to blend it well?
I have tried blending it with different brushes. Denser brushes like RT blush brush or Sigma blush brush would work well. I usually use my ELF Small blending brush to apply it and then blend it using a larger brush.
