Purchasing cosmetics can be a daunting task and very overwhelming at times. There are so many brands, and then each brand has so many different types of product to choose from! It's not as easy as some may think!
Questions to consider:
1. Colour - will it suit my skintone
2. Cost - will this purchase fit my budget
3. Brand - are they cruelty free, paraban free, etc.
4. Do I want shimmer or flat colour
5. Do I want a baked or non-baked?
Here are some of my blushes that I have in my collection. I tend to go for similar shades. I don't have a wide range of difference between brands, but these shades really suit my skintone. I have OLIVE SKIN and I tend to be light-medium in the winter and medium-dark in the summer. These shades tend to work with me throughout the different seasons.
I hope that sharing some of my blushes will help you find that perfect shade that is just right for you!

THE BALM COSMETICS - $27
These are my favourite when it comes to packaging. The packaging are so cute and comical. They get A+ for packaging. Products are very pigmented. Longlasting. A little will go a long way. They tend to be a little powdery, so you should blow off excess before application.
Not a huge selection of Blush colours available.
These colours are great for medium to darker skintones.

BENEFITS "BELLA BAMBA" - $28
This is a Coral/Pink Colour with Gold Shimmer
It is very powdery. Colour selection is very minimal.
Benefits is famous for it's HOOLA BRONZER, which I find too light for my skintone
This colour is ideal for all skintones. It is very pretty on the cheek.

I received this in my monthly Starlooks Subscription - $19.00 Canadian per month
This colour is in "Cuty Peach"

Starlooks has a good selection of blush colours for all skintones.
This is a baked blush. Barbie Pink with Gold tones. Very pretty on all skintones.
Colour is Living Doll. A small blush selection in this Brand. Alot of the time, Walmart is sold out of many of the colours. Colours are pigmented and blend smoothly.
This colour does not apply as dark as in the packaging, it's a nice soft pink on the cheek
Available at Target in the USA
This has to be the best product for the price. Colours are blendable, pigmented and go on so nicely.
Colour: Barbie
This colour is such a pretty pink and looks great on the cheek. It is a soft pink when applied.
That is all my blushes that I have to share with you for now. I have not tried the TARTE blushes, but I will be purchasing a couple soon and will review and advise on how they are.
I thank you for reading my humble Blog and hope that the above helps you out when going out shopping for Blush!
Ciao for now!
