What's your favorite Spring blush? :)

Happy Tuesday! And Happy May! :D

I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that it is now May, and Summer is just around the corner! :O

I think we should make the most out of Spring before full-on Summer heat comes... although it might as well be Summer, Los Angeles was in the 90s today!

Anyway, since it's still Spring, I have a question for you guys:

What's your favorite Spring blush?

Right now, mine is

CoverGirl Instant Cheekbones Contouring Blush

Photobucket

Want great bone structure? Instant Cheekbones Contouring Blush lets you create them instantly and easily. Each compact contains three expertly coordinated shades that add natural-looking contour, so you can look like you were born with great cheekbones, anytime!

***from www.covergirl.com***

Photobucket

- 3 complementary skin-flushed shades contour your cheekbones

- Lightweight

- Dermatologically tested

- Blendable


How to apply:

1. Begin with the contour, or darkest, shade in your Instant Cheekbones palette and apply to the hollow space below the cheekbone.

2. Apply the medium shade to the apples of your cheeks and sweep upwards towards the hairline.

3. For a youthful glow, highlight the tops of your cheeks with the lightest shade.

I use Peach Perfection (210). The other palettes available are: Purely Plum (220), Refined Rose (230), and Sophisticated Sable (240).

***from www.covergirl.com***

They are sold at Walgreens for $5.99; prices vary from store to store.

What's your favorite Spring blush? Any recommendations? :D

I wish you all a good rest of the week! :)

    The peach looks so fresh and natural. I kind of go for more browns..sometimes..but I do like what you showed us today.

    I don't wear blush, or very very rarely, but Spring should be all about light colors - I love the peach palette :)

    I really like a pop of pink (not the cheesy 80's look), but I wear Lancome. I am in need of a seriously cheaper alternative! I love the lesson on where to put what upon the cheeks! You're the best :) XO, Kelly

    honestly, i don't wear a lot of blush but i think that's because i haven't found the right product for my skin tone. if i had a personal makeup artist then i'm sure i'd wear more blush.

    keep me posted on the purse giveaway win dear!

    Only $5.99? I think you got yourself a good deal! I don't really have a favorite spring blush. I have yet to find the best one for me.
