Iwill just review my experience with Apricot Aura & Blissful blush (which are my favourites) or else i'll end up with a very very long review and a lot of homework procrastination.
Here goes...
Apricot aura is a peachy, light pink gloss with some gold shimmer in it. It's a very warm color, and would look gorgeous in spring or summer.
Ratings:
Pigmentation ★★✰✰✰
Long lasting ★★★✰✰
Smell/Taste ★★★★★
Packaging ★★★★✰
Formula ★★★★✰
PROS:
☺ Beautiful color! looks absolutely amazing and i always use this on top of a nude lipstick
☺ The formula is not sticky at all, and the consistency is really nice and smooth
☺ Packaging is unique and sleek, and you can control really well how much product you get
CONS:
☹ Not very long lasting, the gloss did wear off for me in a few hours, but the tube is very handy so not a problem to carry and reapply :)
☹ Although the packaging is interestingly different, i find myself not liking the plastic applicator. To apply it, you need to twist a clicker that pushes product out of a slanted plastic applicator with holes. When i used it, the holes actually took some of the product back into the tube, which got a little annoying :l
☹ Color is a little sheer. The pigmentation isn't that great, which is why i usually wear this on top of a lipstick.
Blissful Blush is a pale pink (with a hint of lilac) color with very fine shimmer. Looks very subtle and im sure it would compliment nearly every skin tone.
With all of the ratings & pros and cons above, this shade is probably a cooler color. It also has a more noticeable fragrance, kind of like watermelon and sunblock. But i personally like the fragrance.
SWATCHES!
Swatches on my lips without anything else on and in natural lighting :)
