I adore FashionistA blushes. In fact, I would go as far to say that I would choose these blushes over any other brand - even though I haven't exactly tried all of the other brands on offer. They're all highly pigmented, easy to blend and, simply, ideal. I think the only problem that I have is that there is some fallout from the pan but that is something I can over look. I already own 'Crimson', 'Blushing Coral', 'Juicy Apricot' and 'London' (I haven't blogged about this yet).

The ones I treated myself to this time are 'Amber Glow', 'New York', 'Flush' and 'Blushing'. They were on an offer: usually £4 each it was 4 for £10 which made them an unbelievably low £2.50 each.


BLUSHING (SHADE 9)
In the pan this looks like an intense matte mauve-pink colour. It looks dark and, quite frankly, scary. It translates beautifully to the skin as a plummy pink that looks like a deep winter flush. It's beautiful and reminds me of a slightly darker shade of crimson.

FLUSH (SHADE 7)
This is a medium pink with a matte finish that contains no shimmer. It swatches as a peachy pink shade that looks very natural on the skin. This is possibly one of my new favourites as it just looks so feminine.

'NEW YORK' (CUSTOM DESIGN BLUSH)
In the pan this is a mid pink blush that looks baked as it has a marbled effect that includes plum and taupe veins. It produces a light, pastel pink that has a slight shimmer when applied to the cheek. It's probably best suited to the more pale among us ladies. I love it.

AMBER GLOW (SHADE 4)
This is actually really scary looking in the pan - orange with obvious gold glitter pieces. However the swatch shows it as an orange based coral with a subtle gold shimmer. It would look amazing with a tan but needs a gentle hand when applying if you're pale skinned like me.

I think I'm close to owning almost all of the blushes that FashionistA offer now and I couldn't be more thrilled. I think they're worth investigating and buying if you don't already own one of these blushes. I imagine that the bronzers in the range will be of the same quality too. I'm yet to try any of the other products available - for example: some of the lip products - but I would definitely be interested in what they're like.


This offer is currently running at Superdrug and online for a limited time only. 


FashionistA also have a website, Twitter, Facebook and blog.
