Many say that Pink Passion is a great dupe for the famous MAC Pink Swoon. Actually, this is the main reason i bought this hehehe. I do not have MAC pink swoon so until now so i can not compare it, but today i will cover a review on this blush.

Price : 90000 in online shop and $3 in ELF webstore

The packaging is black doff. Look professional and have this “small window” where i can see the color inside. The packaging is very easy to get dirty and such a pain to clean it off.

It is a bubblegum candy, a barbie kind of blush. A medium pink. The texture is hard, and got a lot of fall out >.< Be sure to tap the excess because though the color looks tame on the pan, it is very easy to overdo this. Well, the other side of a good pigmentation.

It stays for around 4 hours, and this blush somehow oxidise on me.

And…

My fotd using this blush on! Yeahhh… hahaha i was preparing my research paper and i had to staple a lot, so i came up with this funny picture :P. This is how ELF pink passion look like on me.

So i hope the review helps, see you around!

Introducing you a new section on my blog which i call “ Budget Beauty”. This section will cover good products, worth to buy, and it is under $5, or 50 000 rupiahs. I will try to post in Budget Beauty section at least once a month. I too hope that this section is going to help you save lots and lots of money while keep being pretty :)

My first review on Budget Beauty section will cover a blush on from Mustika Ratu. Mustika Ratu is Indonesian brand, one of the oldest and the best out there. If you are foreigner and you have the chance to come to Indonesia one day, be sure to bring back some Mustika Ratu products. I bet you are going to like it.

Price: 42.000 or $4

Amount: 2,7 g

 

I have this for quite some time already :). The packaging is boring, a plastic with shimmery gold color.

It is light pink with hint of purple on the pan. But when i swipe on my cheek, it turns out to be warm pink color. Such a natural color, as if i just come back from playing under the sun.

For $4 price tag, you can have many choices, like silky girl or revlon`s glamorous blush on. This blush on`s quality is similar to that. I bought this one anyway, because the color is pretty and natural for my days at work.

 

+ Finely milled and blendable

+ Pretty color for my daily make up

+ Moderately pigmented, so it won`t get clownish

+ Affordable and can be easily found on the nearest cosmetic store

- Does not stay long

- Very powdery

See you, chicas!

Got this from my junior who got back from United States

I was like, “ Yayyyy! Covergirl!”

Hahahahaha. Yeah, if i could miss one brand from USA, it would be Covergirl. They are so famous from endorsing Miss USA and Tyra Banks Next Top Model. And hell, yeah, they have good make up. I love their blush ons, and foundation.

This instant cheekbones really get to my attention. Though peachy color is not my cup of tea (i prefer pinkish blush), i wonder if it can give me a contoured cheek just like its name.

As for the packaging.. Hmmm, look so cheapy and not WOW at all. Though the packaging is sturdy, i do prefer cute ones.

The brush is also very harsh. >.<

See? The strands are big, making it very scratchy to the skin.

 

Though quite disappointed with the packaging, i find the blush itself is good. Pigmented. Long lasting, and easy to blend. In one blush i can get four shades of peach. Awesome~

L – R: Highlighters, medium color, contour color, and all blended together

As you see the finish is satin. It provides a cute glow to the cheek. It is not powdery. But for the highlighters,(left one) the glitters are quite chunky.

Beauty Chica`s review:

+ Pigmented

+ Not powdery, and long lasting

+ Beautiful satin finish

+ Offers a great variation of peach colors

+ Love that covergirl smell

+ Pretty for all skin color types!

- Dissapointing packaging and brush

- Not available in Indonesia

See you again soon, girls!

Love.Love. Hana

Thank you thank you everyone who has commented in my last haul post!

I bet you all excited to read my rave about Make Over make up :) For starter, lets talk about the blush on first!

Price: around 75.000 rupiahs

Amount: 6g

Description from Make Over website:

Available in 8 colors : #01 Pink Fantasist, #02 Iredescent Pink, #03 Promiscious Peach, #04 Royal Espresso, #05 Brown Strada, #06 Caribbean Sunset, #07 Scarlet Sheen, #08 Cruise Coral

As for the packaging, it is very sturdy and i like how it looks professional with black color :). The mirror is also very clear!

It is a very light baby pink that is not overly pigmented. Very foolproof! No matter how many times i swap this on my cheek, it looks natural.

It gives me natural flush. Doesnt show up in picture, but in real life, this is the kind of color that i have always wanted! Similar to Illamasqua Katie or The Balm Down Boy Blush.

Do you know the feeling when the blush on seems to be to thick, too red, or too noticable eventhough you just want to have that baby pink light flush?

Yes… yes.. that is what i mean :P

This blush will give you that barely noticable cute light pink flush

Beauty Chica`s review ..

+ Love the light baby pink flush

+ Smells nice

+ Not powdery and long lasting

+ Buttery texture

+ Professional packaging

+ Available locally with affordable price

- Does not really show up on picture unless you give a cream blush base underneath

Recommended for a fair skinned lady and recommended for a natural flushed look :)

Love, Hana

As a blusher junkie i am, at last i could not resist the temptation of having Luminoso in my stash. It is raved by many, for sure, and now it is my turn to see whether i love it or not.


About the product (from www.milanicosmetics.com)

A luxurious powder blush that features a mélange infusion of colors baked on Italian terracotta tiles. Easy to use, sensorial in texture, the nuances of color become extraordinarily luminous. Silky smooth application leaves your face looking healthy and radiant all day.

Price : 89000 rupiahs on local online store.

Amount : 0,12 oz

What i think....

Baked Blush has nine shades, and mine is Luminoso. Luminoso is very pretty in the pan. It looks like a marble and i love it. When it is swiped, it delivers pretty peachy color with golden shimmer. It looks good especially on an olive skin. It gives a natural glow. Whereas on me, who has pink undertone, it look somewhat orange. When i use it, it gives me glamour mature glow, not the girlish flush that pink blush on ussually gives.



The packaging is nice with gold color. It looks grown up-ish and just compliment marbelized texture from the blush. I havent dropped this blush, *applaud myself*. So i cant really say about the sturdiness. But so far i dont have complain. The applicator works well though the bristles are not very soft.



It is very pigmented and hard to blend. I espescially like to use dual fibre brush to pick the colir, only to make sure i pick just correct amount. Any leftover color would be hard to swipe off with tisue and i am not a big fan of covering it with powder. It turns the pretty sheen down.


It stays very long, 5 - 8 hours on my oily combination skin and has satiny finish that enhance the cheekbone. If i use it slightly, it seems like i do not wear blush on, only my cheekbones get more definition and i look less pale.  The blush definitely get praised from me, applaud Milani for brings out high end blush qualities tagged in drugstore's price. Though Luminoso is not my favorite  color,i am  very well pleased with the quality and i think i will repurchase in Dolce Pink

Conclusion

I would recommend this for you who is looking for an everyday blush. It is going to look flattering. Pretty without looking too much. Any skintone will be able to pull this off for sure, but i think olive skintone would pull it off best.
