Review: Illamasqua Blushes in Tremble and Promise

Powder Blush in Tremble Cream Blush in Promise

I haven't purchased ant Illamasque products before. I had a browse just before Christmas and asked for a couple for Christmas. 'Tremble' is a Powder blush and when I first opened it I was a bit gutted by the fall out it had and the chalky texture. But, when applying it to my cheeks it turned into a silky texture and looked more like a creme blusher. The colour is between a coral and pink. It changes within different lights. It's very much like my Topshop Neon Rose. But not exactly. The staying power of the blush is amazing. I still have it on my cheeks when I take my makeup off at night. It doesn't budge or fade one bit. You can apply it lightly for a sheer colour or build it up for a more dramatic look. It doesn't go cakey when you layer it which I find with a lot of Powder blushes.

The other blush is a Cream blush in 'Promise'. This is the most creamiest and softest cream blush I own. I swatched it on my hand when I got it and it was so creamy but not too thick. If you love the dewy look on the skin this is perfect. It is very reflective but contains no glitter. It's a deep pink. Very much like Mac's Ladyblush but a little bit brighter. Again the staying power is amazing.

Can't believe I haven't tried any products from Illamasqua before. I'm now lusting after their Skin Base Foundation. And it's definitely worth checking out what they have left in their Sale.
