It Cosmetics CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi: Swatches and Review

I am not always a fan of everything It Cosmetics releases, but more and more, I find myself becoming an 'It' girl, and the product I have been reviewing the last few weeks, the It Cosmetics CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi has been constantly on my cheeks.

This blush retails for $24 and with the amount I have been using it, worth every penny! There is currently only one color selection, which is a pink. But according to It Cosmetics, it is supposed to self-adjust to give you your own unique glow! It turns rather peachy pink on my skin!

It is also has collagen and peptides, which is where (I am assuming) the CC+ comes into play.


Isn't this just the prettiest? You can use the top section as a highlight, which I like to do, although swirling all the colors together will not get rid of the ombre´. I love this because it really does give a lit from within glow that is just so easy, which is why I keep reaching for it. 


The swatches show the individual sections of the blush and then what it looks like blended together. The texture is easy to work with: not too dense or powdery.

This gives me a healthy glow that I am addicted to. Keep in mind that it has a luminous finish but is neither sparkly or matte. I love it!

Have you tried this CC+ Radiance Blush?

The Balm FratBoy Review and Swatches

Many of you may have participated in the Balm 50% site wide sale for their relaunching. I did!! One of the things that I got was the FratBoy blush. I have been wanting this for a long time, and to get it for around $11 was amazing!

 
There are a few reasons I wanted it. The first was that I have never tried any Balm products before, can you believe that? Everyone always raves about their shadows and blushes, and I figured it was about time I got on the bandwagon. The second reason I chose this one out of their other amazing blush offerings was the name. FratBoy? Yes. I was in a sorority in college, so of course, this just seems fitting that I have it.

 
I was really impressed with the Balm's service and shipping. I know their site crashed for a few days, but once it was back up, ordering was easy, this was shipped to me very quickly and wrapped really securely. I love the packaging as well! Even though it is cardboard it is sturdy. It comes with a sleeve with the same front picture (to save) and the inside has a mirror surrounded by a football field and says "So many men, so little time".
As much as I feel that the sentiment didn't apply to me, this is still an amazing blush.
 
 
The pigmentation on this blush is fantastic. When I apply, I barely have to touch the blush to get enough for both of my cheeks. This will last me much longer than most relationships with frat boys, I am sure.
 
 
The color is a medium pink and it gives the perfect girlish flush. Perfect for sorority socials and grocery store runs alike.
 
This is literally the perfect blush for my skin tone and I have been wearing it daily. So even if you have never been in a sorority, I promise this blush will thrill you longer than your "Rush Crush".
 
Have you tried this? Love the Balm? Let's here!
