Too Faced 'Perfect Flush' Blush Review

 photo ffdf_zps31cce1a0.jpg

Ryan bought this for me for Valentine's Day this year and....I love it!

The pink part reminds me a bit of my NARS Gaeity blush but it's got a nice shimmer and it's more blue toned and the other two peachy colors when blended with the pink make SUCH a flattering color. I've never been one for "custom" blushes because most of the time I just don't find it very enticing and often times the strips or bits of color are too small to use the colors individually.. Thankfully that's not an issue with this blush. Each section of color is large enough that you can use a brush to zero in on each color. I personally like to run my brush over all three to make a really beautiful and natural looking flush. I think this blush would best suit mostly people with fair-medium toned skin since it's buildable, but if you have darker skin you could definitely use this as an awesome highlighter since it has so much sheen.

Plus it's shaped like a heart so really, I don't know how you could say no. This blush lasted a fairly long time on my skin and I didn't have to re-apply. I would maybe need to if I had a REALLY long day ahead of me but most of the time I only need to wear makeup for 8 hours or less. This review is a bit scatter-brained. Sorry, I'm packing up to go visit my family in Houston for Spring Break so my writing is a bit bleh. First draft I wrote "really beautiful" proooobably 4 times.

At $29USD I can see why you wouldn't run out to buy this but I'm not sure if it's limited edition or if Too Faced is adding it to their regular line-up so definitely keep an eye out if you want to wait and see if it goes on sale.

But if you've got a bit of extra money to burn or you've been looking for a subtle but buildable blush that's heart-themed, I recommend at LEAST trying it out at your local Sephora or Ulta.

Lately...


This week has been a bit of a mess. I'm excited about Valentine's Day but since I'll be working, I'll probably be doing a valentine craft and spending most of the day with the kids I babysit and my cousin I'm watching for the week. It won't stop me from wearing my lipstick print dress from Forever 21 though!

My Valentine's gift from Ryan. 'The Perfect Flush' Blush by Too Faced.

I hope you have an amazing Valentine's Day week! I've never understood why people get so bent out of shape about being single on Valentine's Day. My family's always used it as an excuse to give a gift or two to whoever you love. Family, friends, significant other, dog, whoever. Taylor and I exchange presents and I bought a dozen cupcakes for my parents from their favorite cupcake place (Crave Cupcakes in Houston!). To be honest I haven't even looked for Ryan's gift yet. We normally just make dinner together the night of and go out to eat on the 15th or 16th to avoid the crowds.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Seeing as how Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays and I can always seem to find about a thousand things I want, it was hard narrowing this down to just a few things.

That being said, I'm super excited about the MAC "Archie's Girls" collection coming out in a few days online (Jan 30th) and in stores (Feb 7th) especially since they're pretty obviously Valentine themed. White with red hearts?? Come on, how can I say no?

You can't find the products from the Archie's Girls collection on the MAC website until the 30th of January, but if you're interested in looking at swatches or photos of the products, both Makeup and Beauty Blog & Beautezine are a great resource.
