Luscious Blush In Champagne

 

My Thought

i really adore this blush, its creamy in texture,highly pigmented and blends like a dream.the color is soft peachy pink with a Golden sheen to it.it gives a perfect healthy glow to the face and provides a quality you expect from a high end brand blush.


Luscious Blush In Champagne - Swatched

i was really surprised by the color pay off and quality of the blush.the shimmer particles in it are really unnoticeable and when i apply this blush the pale gold sheen really makes my face look lively.its a best choice for night time parties and weddings.
i have also compared this blush with benefit belle bamba and its is no less than it in any way.its quite similar to bella bamba,both are pink blushes with golden sheen while Belle Bamba leans more towards pink, luscious champagne is more peachy.


Luscious Blush In Champagne & Benefit Belle Bamba

Left: Luscious Blush In Champagne
Right: Benefit Bella Bamba

as u can see the shimmer particles in the Bella Bamba are noticeable while in Luscious champagne the sheen is there but you can not notice the shimmer particles.as far as the color pay off and texture matters Luscious champagne gives quite a tough cometetion to the Bella Bamba.
i don't own Nars Orgasm but after seeing the swatches and reviews on Internet i think Luscious Champagne could be a dupe
the things i don't like about this blush is that the surface of the blush gets a little hard after some time and packaging could have been better.

Pros

  • Multi-toned blush
  • Richly Pigmented & Easily blenable
  • Soft texture
  • Gives healthy glow to the face
  • Good color payoff
  • Budget Friendly

Cons

  • Packaging could have been better
  • Surface of the Blush gets hard

i would give it 4.5/5

Price       PKR 475


You Can Find it at Alfateh Lahore or can order from Luscious Website www.iloveluscious.com 


have you tried it? it's definately a steal for the price :)

The Body Shop Strawberry Eau De Toilette - Review

Hey lovelies.today i am going to share a review on my favourite and yummiest scent Strawberry Eau De Toilette.I bought this perfume 4 years ago as my bestie's bday present, it's mouth watering strawberry scent made me fall in love with it and afterwards i had to get one for myself and since than it is one of my favourites.Well you can call me a strawberry maniac because no matter how hard i try i can not resist anything strawberry.can you??



Product Description


A sweet and sumptuous fruity floral fragrance inspired by the fresh smell of wild strawberries.
Its mouth-watering scent is combined with energetic citrus and delicate floral with underlying notes of sandalwood and musk. This fragrance offers a delicious intensity

Fragrance Notes

 
Top notes: red currant, wild strawberry and red apple
Middle notes: fruity notes, flowers and wild strawberry
Base notes: nectarine, musk,sandalwood, vanilla and wild strawberry.
 
 
 

My thought


i think the scent is sweet and strong without being overpowering yet refreshing in way that will make you hold on to it.the smell is perfect for the spring and summer season to freshen up the mood.its not exactly like the fresh strawberries, its more like a strawberry syrup but smells better and strong.its so yummilicious i keep sniffing the lid only to fall in love with it again and again.

i must tell its not a formal kind of scent so most of the people won't like it but if you are a strawberry lover like me you will fall in love with it. i like to wear it in daytime after shower,the smell stays for 5-6 hours which is expected from the TBS fragrances, but when i combine this scents with strawberry shower gel and strawberry body butter it lasts longer, almost for 12 hours. 

the EDT comes in simple red coloured bottle with a golden lid and beautiful writing on the front.the bottle contains 60ml of the product.the Strawberry EDT was a limited edition but i can still find it in Pakistan while in UK and USA it was discontinued but in 2012 it was relaunched in USA in a smaller size 30ml along with other fruity smell EDT .e.g Coconut EDT, Mango EDT, Pink Grape Fruit EDT etc.Well i m wondering how would it be like having the mango and coconut perfume so i am most probably gonna buy them but it will have to wait as i have already many scents to use.


Pros

  • Fruity Smell
  • Refreshing
  • Best for summers and springs
  • Budget Friendly
  • The size makes it travel freindly

Cons

  • Not exactly fresh strawberry smell
  • Staying power

Price      PKR 2450, $14 for 30ml

 
i love it to bits <3 have you tried it??
