Search for the Glowy summer look

For a whole week i have been looking for the perfect cheek color for a summer glowy look. And i have to say my effort and hard earned money did not go to waste.

My first purchases were these two: Revlon blush in "blushed" and Bourjois blush in "35 Lune D'or".

Revlon "blushed"
Pigmentation: 1/5
Packaging: 4/5
Staying power: 3/5
Buy again: NO
Over all this is a fail blush because there is hardly any color pay off and it looses its color by mid day. Not worth your buck.

Bourjois "35 Lune D'or":
Pigmentation: 4/5
Packaging: 3/5
Staying power 4/5
Buy again: No
This blush is fun to play with but i think there is alot more in the market that does the same at a lower value.

Second set is Maybelline blushes in Dusty Rose and Sun Light. There are a great disappointment, there is NO color pay off, crap Packaging and no staying power because there is no color to start off with. Would not recommend to purchase. I only bought it cause there is no tester and i was curious (another lesson learn, No tester=bad product).

The last set i got is the perfect thing i needed and that is Prestige "Pure shimmer" materialized powder and Mac MSF in Soft and Gentle.
Prestige "Pure Shimmer":
Pigmentation: 5/5
Packaging: 4/5
Staying power: 5/5
Buy Again: Yes

MAC "Soft and Gentle":
Pigmentation: 5/5
Packaging: 5/5
Staying power: 5/5
Buy Again: Yes

Overall both gives great pigmentation only difference is Prestige is a little golden/bright compared to the more pink MAC. Both are great.

The last two is what i have purchased last week.
Rimmel Stay Matte in Peach glow:
Its not as good as the MAC blot powder and the only upside is it smells nice. The packaging is crap and there is no color.
Pigmentation(purpose): 2/5
Packaging:1/5
Staying power: 2/5
Buy Again: No

Loreal Blush in "120 Sandalwood pink":
Pigmentation: 5/5
Packaging:2/5
Staying power: 4/5
Buy Again: Yes
This blush is so pigmented that the tiniest amount can cover the whole cheek. Its very prone to over blushing (where you face looks like a monkey's bum). But this is a great blush for its money and i recommend this blush out of all the blushes i have mentioned in this entry (except for the MAC and Prestige).

And this is a swatch of the products according to the previous photo's order. I didnt include the Maybelline ones because they are horrible.

For the mean time, Stay beautiful.
