Week 2, Day 5. DC'd and LE Blush--Dior Dentelle, Vintage Pink

This gorgeous Limited Edition blush duo was part of the Dior Spring 2010 collection.  I'm such a sucker for blushes with imprinted designs on them and this is one that I had to track down.  It sold out quickly in stores, so I had to hunt this beauty down on Ebay.  This Vintage Pink blush features two colors, a rose and a soft pink, with a lace design imprinted on both ends along with the large Dior name. 


The texture is pretty hard, it was actually difficult to swatch.  When blended together, it is a light rose color.  Pretty, but not super unique and along with the texture, not something I would buy to use.  It does look pretty on the cheeks, though.  Since I'm more of a collector than a user, I'm ok with that, but I understand that it would annoy some.  Here's a link for the Swatches this week where you can see what vintage pink looks like on.  Below is the group shot of this week's DC'd and LE blushes.  Tomorrow is #6, Chanel Evening Red, a beautiful, old JC.

Week 2--Seven Days of Discontinued and Limited Edition Blushes

Do you hate seeing a product that you love and finding out it was discontinued long ago or was a limited edition?  I try to make it an adventure to try to locate that must-have item.  If you find it frustrating to do that, you may think it's a little mean of me to do a week of DC'd and LE blushes to show you things you might want.  I'm sorry!  But, I hope you can enjoy looking at the pictures, remembering what goodies you have in your stash and perhaps hunting for the ones you need to add to your collection.

I finished up last week with my favorite DC'd blush of all time, Chanel Turbulent.  However, I have 7 more gorgeous blushes to share with you this week.  I've only been collecting blush for a couple years, so there are so many that I'm missing.  I tried to select a variety of blush for the week, including some of my very favorite blushes.  Fist, the Group Shot:



Here's the list of beauties that I'll focus on this week:
1. Giorgio Armani #12
2. Chanel Narcisse Joues Contraste
3. Pout Apricot Totty
4. Chanel Nude JC
5. Dior Dentelle Vintage Pink
6.Chanel Evening Red JC
7. Shu P Purple 05b

And the swatches:



As you can see, there is a bit of variety in these blushes.  This group includes some of my all-time favorite blushes like Apricot Totty and Narcisse.  I hope to inspire you to dig out some of your older, neglected blushes to use and enjoy.  Have a great week!
