Review: Nichido Blush in Sunkissed

Another blush review for you girlies! :) I also bought this together with the Careline blush I just reviewed earlier (click here to see review). I usually reach for this more often because I think it compliments my skin tone. So here it is, the Nichido Powder Blush in Sunkissed.

 Well, it's really a powder blush :D

 In real life, this is actually darker, or toasted, if you know what I mean.

I adore this one because it looks good on me. Although it's really powdery, I can just brush this all over my cheeks even without a mirror, not being afraid of looking all made up because it's blendable. This leans just in the middle, not too subtle, and not overly pigmented. And staying power is decent, maybe because the color is deep, thus leaving a lovely tinge of toasted pink on my cheeks. Me likey! :) 

Pros:

• a mesmerizing deep toasted pink color, really sunkissed
• can be easily blended
• decent staying power (approximately 3-4 hours w/o primer, just pressed powder underneath)
• inexpensive for Php88.00, 4g
• locally available

Cons:

• not a fan of twisty packaging
• powdery
• no mirror and puff included (but then the price is really cheap so I think I better keep my mouth shut :D)

Review: Careline Oil Control Blush-on in Peach Glow

Peach-toned blushes are really occupying my thoughts these past few days. I really don't know but there's something in it that makes me giddy, you know, being so tied up with the mediocre pink blushes, I think it's about time to come out of the box! Careline wasn't actually one of those that hit my mind. But then I tried it, sold with the price, and now's the time to share with you my take on this super cheapo blush.

 The puff included is so small yet so soft!

Swiped it thrice to show the color, but it's still as subtle as it can be.

Whenever I use this, it makes me look a tad dark/toasted. Thus, I think the hunt for that perfect peach blush continues. But for the price I won't be complaining since it's really inexpensive. Mind you, this one's only Php80.00 or less than $2 (5g), that they still included a super soft sponge that I am actually saving from using. Plus the fact that it has oil control and Vitamin E that's good for the skin.

Pros:

• affordable!
• has oil control and Vitamin E
• available locally
• if you're looking for a subtle, natural finish, you'll like this one
• soft puff included

Cons:

• if you're looking for great pigmentation, this one's totally out of the list
• poor lasting power
• packaging feels a little flimsy
