NYX Cream Blush Review + 2 FOTD from last week


 ..::NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Hot Pink & Orange::...
 I already own Glow & Natural (As you may know, because I use them alll the time lol), but for as long as I have these I don't think I will be buying any other cream blushes in a long time!
So I just hadd to do a review on these 2 babies, I wish I had other brands to compare them to but I think they don't need to be compared to anything else, lol!

 These photos here is true to what they look like in the pan. Looks scary, huh? Trust me, if you wanted your cheeks to turn out that colour then you can pile it all on if you could but im not looking to be a clown, haha. I just use a stippling brush, get as little as i can on it and slowly build up to the intensity that I want.
This is with one swipe so you can see how pigmented they are, all the flash did was make it look a bit sheerer. Maybe I should have blended them out a bit, I'm not used to doing swatches sorry! lol.
 I think these would be great for lipsticks too! Although I wouldn't want to carry around the blush all day =/ haha

& Now for them on... plus some simple EOTDs that I did when I was wearing these because I didn't want the eyes & the lips to compete.

Hot Pink
I probably wouldn't want to go more then this with the blush for everyday wear. 
Eyes: Nyx vanilla shimmer, random brown in crease, black eyeliner.
Lips: Australis L/S in Salsa









 Orange

Eyes: TSS Broken Dreams e/s  Avon Glimmerstick e/l in Starry Night
I applied more blush here then i would normally, however I love the way it looks with the eyes so I don't mind!

..::Overall::..
Packaging: 4/5- the plastic windows can fall out if pushed easily (I've had that happen with my other ones but it's not too often) Otherwise I don't see anything else wrong with the packaging
Product: 5/5, super pigmented, blendable & gorgeous colours!
Quality: 5/5
Price: As always it varies on where you buy it, you can get them anywhere from for $4.99 each or you can find some really good deals on ebay
