The Budget Beauty - Episode 13

My Favorite Blushes

The majority of my favorite blushes are from a company known as Milani.  However, I do own 1 high end blush.  It is the NARS blush in the color Orgasm.  I also own 1 of what I consider a mid range priced blush from the company “The Balm” and it’s the color “Hot Mama”!  I actually prefer Hot Mama over Orgasm.

The Milani blushes are Sunset Beach (discontinued), Luminous (discontinued), , Luminoso, Tarra Sole and Mai Tai (discontinued).  Mai Tai is said to be a dupe for MAC’s Bite of an Apple.  I have 2 blushes from Sally Hansen in Cherub and Poppy.  One Black Radiance blush in the color Warm Berry.  I also have 1 blush from NYX in the color Terra Cotta and one CoverGirl Cheekers blush in the color Golden Pink which is supposed to be a dupe for the MAC’s Razin.  



However, I do want to purchase 2 more Milani blushes.  They are in the colors Corallina and Bellissimo Bronze!

The Budget Beauty - Episode 12

Beautiful Blushes That Were Given Away On My FaceBook Page!!  Closed

I purchased some wonderful, discontinued blushes from ebay.  I got Milani's blushes in "Mai Tai", "Sunset Beach" and "Luminois".  I also purchased a Sally Hansen blush in "Poppy"  I hosted a giveaway on my Facebook page for my friends and family.  I had 2 blushes in Luminous and Poppy to give away.  I also held a drawing for 1 Sunset Beach. 


This first color is Sally Hansen's "Poppy".  It's a mid tone or gray based Mauve/Pink blush with some gold shimmer.  Complments all skin tones.


This next blush color is Milani's Luminous #08.  Billed as a dupe for Nars Orgasm, it's a Peachy-Pink blush with golden shimmer.  It leaves a beautiful golden glow on your cheeks!



The last blush color is Milani's Sunset Beach #07.  This blush is described as a "Mat Burnt-Peach".  This color is gorgeous on brown skin!
