Max Factor Miracle Touch Blush in Soft Candy

This blush was a gift from my lovely sister and it is the most neglected makeup products I have, I am not sure why I underestimated this blush for so long,MAX Factor Miracle Touch Blush in Soft Candy,a happy cherry red color.

I think its around 7 pound,which is alot for the amount of product,this is rude of Max Factor not to mention the grams of product they'd put in this plastic little container!!

when I first swatched this blush it felt more like a greasy lip balm,My skin was very irritated (due to acne) at that time so I was unable to judge the quality of the product,but I recently started to wear this blush and discovered that its not greasy or creamy,it has a very soft texture and blends almost effortlessly on my cheeks and gives a natural flush of color and a subtle sheen,it has a incredible staying power and takes 2,3 minutes to set on the skin,I wouldn't buy this particular color again because the color doesn't look flattering on my skin tone,I would recommend this color for fair to medium skin tones.you can see in the swatches how pigmented it is so just a little bit is enough for both cheeks! 

Available in four shades Soft Copper,Soft Pink,Soft Candy and Soft Murano at boots UK, superdrug UK, and Naheed super Market Karachi.

MAC Blush In Desert Rose (swatch&review)

Hey everyone:) So this time its about a blush.....a pretty rosy pink blush from Mac.I really wanted to try a matte blush so I picked up this because its a prefect matte and only Mac makes perfectly matte blushes.I went to EBCO Karachi....well they only have a few blushes so had to order this one from www.just4girls.pk





Packaging: As is all MAC packaging this blush also comes in a black plastic pot with a clear lid and it contains 6g of product.
Texture,Coverage: Desert Rose is a Powder blush "Matte",very pigmented and smooth but not as smooth as sheertone blushes from Mac.Its in the permanent collection.
Price,Availability: Rs.3650 from  just for girls.pk HERE (for Pakistan)
                                  USD.20 check out the MAC website HERE
                                  UK.17.50 check out the MAC UK website HERE
prices mentioned above are approximate,it may vary depending where you live and buy this product.
My Thoughts:Desert Rose is a warm toned rosy pink color and it will suit almost any skin tone.A lot of you might think its a mauve color,apparently Mac is the only one who describe it as a soft reddish burgundy!! Desert rose is a medium pink incredibly pigmented blush,I just slightly dab my brush once and thats enough for both cheeks.... its a great every day color for all seasons and the warm tone of this blush adds a little bit of contour to my cheeks.this blush doesn't require retouching through out the day which is awesome and makes it perfect for office going ladies and anyone with oily skin.
I know MAC blushes are too pricey in Pakistan,and if you're wondering if its worth investing...Yes I definitely think its worth it!! The quality and pigmentation of all MAC blushes are amazing.I love them mostly because they are not overloaded with glitters and shimmer like most of the drugstore and high end blushes.  
I'd definitely repurchase this blush (probably after years because I have used this alot and it still looks untouched) and I'd recommend this.


I hope you enjoyed reading this review;) everyone has a MAC fav blush...whats your favorite?

E.L.F Studio Blush In Fuchsia Fusion.

who doesn't know e.l.f now...they offer quality products at a very cheap price...some of their products are pretty comparable to high end brands... their products are not easily available in shops and most of the time can only be purchased online.. yeah! we all know this already!! but i am sure not many of us know that their products are 100% cruelty free and the company supports PETA's no fur campaign,another reason to like their brand:)
the good news is that e.l.f is now available in Pakistan and you can shop online www.eyeslipsface.pk 
as the title says the blush i am reviewing is from studio line and the color is Fuchsia Fusion. 
   



























 
PACKAGING: studio line blushes are packaged in thick black plastic...the packaging is very sleek and it has a mirror inside,a clear window on top so you can see the color inside..it is very light weight to carry in your bag...5/5 for packaging!

PRODUCT: i prefer to use makeup that blends effortlessly,this blush blends very smoothly and easily.i am not sure if the formula vary from blush to blush but this color is very smooth and i have no complain with the quality of this product,it has a great staying power and no fragrance.

MY THOUGHTS: i am addicted to wearing this blush everyday,the color is gorgeous,it blends easily...I would describe it as a bright cool toned pink and it has very fine silver/gold glitters...it looks too bright in the pan but once its on it looks very smooth and cool toned pink...the shade is buildable..i am not a fan of glittery products but this has such gorgeous gold and silver glitters...if you don't like glitters just dust them off from the brush....simple!! the swatch in the picture doesn't justify how gorgeous this blush is...but the glitters are pretty visible.this blush does pick up your skin color,it looks a little mauvy if your skin is brown and it looks bright and more pink if you are fair!
i am going to try other blushes from the studio line.... overall i am very impressed and i wish  i could impress you with a better swatch:( i would absolutely recommend to try out these blushes.studio line blushes are available online for just Rs.400.
