Week 5, Day 4. Chanel Blush--Petilant JC

Today's blush is an old JC.  I'm not sure how old, but it is a beauty.  For Day 4 of Chanel Blush week, I present Petilant (which means sparkling in French).  It might be old, but it still has the delicate scent of roses and gives off a good amount of color. 

This version is baked, so the texture is harder than the US versions.  But the powder that comes off is very fine and pigmented.  I see a tiny amount of shimmer in the pan, but on the skin, it has the slight glow that JCs are known for.

The color is a little hard to describe, I would call it a warmish raspberry pink.  It is a lovely color and goes on very smoothly and evenly.  A sweet friend at MUA has been wanting this one forever, but it's so pretty that I can't quite part with it yet.  Maybe this up-close view will make her change her mind and kill the desire for it.  It's #4 in the picture below.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this old JC!  Tomorrow, day 5 of Chanel JCs, is Orchid Rose.  Let me know what your favorite blushes are and what you'd like to see here!  TTYL!

Week 4, Day 4. Shimmery Blush--Lancome Shimmer Pink Pool

Day Four of Shimmery Blush Week--it's already half over. =(  Anyway, This beauty is from Lancome and is part of their Blush Subtil Shimmer range.  It is Shimmer Pink Pool--It's so pretty, I do want to dive right into it.  This is a current offering, available at Lancome.com or a department store near you.

The color is a definite pink, not really HOT pink, but a raspberry sherbet color, very pretty and wearable.  It is a cool pink (but not purple at all) with a fair bit of fine glitter.  But don't let the glitter scare you, this actually goes on quite sheer with just a bit of shimmer showing on the cheeks.

Shimmer Pink Pools does feel slightly gritty in texture as do most shimmer blushes.  I still really like this blush and give it a 7 on the shimmer scale.  It's wearable for almost everyone and one that doesn't get a lot of attention.  If you have a chance to test it, give it a try, you might be surprised.

I'm really enjoying the sparkliness of Seven Days of Shimmery Blushes and I hope you are too! Tomorrow is day five and another Duwop Blushbooster--this time in Mango.  It's something a little different for me. =)
