Bobbi Brown Blush--Apricot

Apricot blush from Bobbi Brown is a little different than many of the other Apricot blushes around, but the differences make me love it more.  When some people think of Apricot, they think more yellow/orange, but Bobbi Brown's version looks more like a lovely pinky-coral color to me.  It really is lovely on the face and helps brighten the complexion.  Here is a picture of the first batch of blushes:

Apricot is in the upper left of that picture and you can see how pretty it is.  In the swatches below, you can see how it compares to the other Bobbi Brown blushes that I have.

   Apricot is on the far left.

Bobbi Brown powder blushes are very richly pigmented and ultra smooth and silky going on.  The matte blushes (like Apricot) are very soft and not the least bit chalky or gritty.  I love the way they pop in and out of the new compacts so the palettes are easy to customize for my needs.  Tomorrow, is a shimmer blush, Bahama Brown.

Week 4, Day 5. Shimmery Blush--Duwop Mango Blushbooster

Day Five of Shimmery Blush Week and I'm in love with this picture of Duwop's Mango Blushbooster.  This illuminating blush is just beautiful.  It's great for you warmer girls who can pull off these peach, apricots, and mango colors beautifully.  Luckily, even cool girls can pull these blushboosters off because they're pretty sheer, so they don't overwhelm the face. 

The Duwop website describes this color as a "shimmery apricot" which I guess is pretty acurate.  I think Mango is actually a good name for it, since that is what it reminds me of.  Well, a pretty, shimmer, peachy-mango. 

The website goes on to say that Blushboosters are safe to use as eyeshadow and are infused with beneficial ingredients:

• Jojoba oils to prevent moisture loss
• Cooling cucumber extract to reduce puffiness and calms the skin.
• Pomegranate extract and Vitamins A and E for their nourishing antioxidant properties.

I haven't really noticed any difference between these and regular blushes, but it's good to know. lol.

These blushboosters do go on really smoothly and they are silky smooth not gritty like some shimmery blushes and highlighters.  Tomorrow is day 6 and one of my favorites, Chanel Winter Shimmer JC.  It's really more of a highlighter, but it is pure pale pink gorgeousness.  TTYL!

Week 2, Day 3. DC'd and LE Blush--Pout Apricot Totty

Yay, today is the day for one of my favorite blushes (Do I say that everyday??).  It's Pout Apricot Totty--a gorgeous, bright, pinky-apricot.  When I was starting my blush obsession, Pout was just being DC'd and I was obsessed with finding this blush.  Luckily, I was able to add one to my collection, along with a few other gorgeous Pout blushes.  A little bit of Apricot Totty swept on my cheeks makes me feel and look like summer.  It's just so bright and cheerful that I can't help but smile when I see it.

AT (#3 in the swatches) is probably a little more pink than most Apricot blushes.  It's a beautiful mix of coral, apricot, and pink that looks great on most skin tones.  It's fairly pigmented and you only need a whisper to add a gorgeous summery glow.  Sadly, this has been discontinued for about 3 years. Maybe sometime in the future, I'll do a series on dupes for discontinued blushes. Sadly, this one will be hard to match.

Here's another look at this week's group.  Tomorrow is Chanel Nude JC.  Another lovely blush shot down in its prime.  See you tomorrow!
