NYX Cream Blush in 01 Rose Petal and 02 Natural - £5.50 each
A few years ago I found my HG blush..it was one of the old MAC cream formulas in the shade 'lilicent'. It was the only blush I've ever completely used up (my sister fell just as in love and between us we scraped the entire pan out), and I was heartbroken when I used it all up because it was discontinued :( Since then I've kind of given up on blusher and I'm all about the bronze - I hate powder finish blushers, the main reason I loved lilicent was the dewy finish and nothing else really compared! Until these baby's dropped through my door that is. I'd read online that NYX 'natural' was a dupe for lilicent, but I didn't realise that it was available in the UK until last week, when I hastily placed an order!
I picked up both of these shades because I love a nice nude/peachy blush and both of these are spot on. I'd say lilicent was (sobs) somewhere in between the two colour wise but they're both so gorgeous that I don't care! These are the perfect shades for me, and the formula is a dream to work with. They smooth right on to the skin and leave such a healthy glow, I literally have no complaints. Wear time is around the 6 hour mark, but that's not a problem for me as it takes me through the working day. The price is incredible too - such a bargain.
I'll definitely be picking up a few more of these and trying out some more daring shades. Seeing as I haven't tried anything else from the range, does anyone have any other NYX product recommendations?
Oh my gosh, they are gorgeous! I would love to own these :)

Thank you :D
DeleteThe colours are so pretty! It's a shame the lilicent one has been discontinued though xx
ReplyDeleteI was heartbroken haha :(
DeleteI remember you mentioned to me that you love a dewy finish blush xx I have Natural and I love it too! They are more affordable than MAC too so that's a bonus :)

You have a good memory haha :) its definitely become my favourite of the two!
DeleteThey are both really pretty, but look so similar to me I couldn't buy both :s But at that price.. maybe! They look like a good dupe to MAC

I knowww! I'm just a sucker for this sort of shade haha :)
DeleteI've wanted natural for so long! I got their cream blush in boho chic because it was meant to be a mac ladyblush dupe but it was full of chunky glitter! xxx

Natural is my absolute favourite! Glad you said that, I was tempted by boho chic but chunky glitter does not sound good
DeleteI NEED THESE IN MY LIFE. NOW.

DeleteI have a love/ hate relationship with cream blushers. I love the colours and how they look tested on my hand. But whenever I put them on my face I feel like they just rub off my foundation!
ReplyDeleteThese look really nice though! xx
Ahh I know what you mean, I struggled to find a cream blush that didn't dry powdery and also didn't slide off, but these are pretty perfect!
Deletei've heard so many good things about these and i'd really like to try them out! cream blushers are amazing!
ReplyDeletegreat photos and awesome post, i'm definitely following! :)
