Bourjois - Frosted Rose Blush

I'm currently loving this little pot of loveliness.

In desperation for a blusher, I grabbed this one. I wasn't really sure where to start but I figured Bourjois was a safe bet as it's had really good reviews. To be honest I'm not a huge blusher person, or at least I wasn't until recently. So I wasn't sure what colours suited me, and what to steer well clear of. This seemed like a good choice because it doesn't have much pigment and is quite subtle. The last thing I wanted was to wander out looking like Bobo the clown.

It comes with a decent mirror, and a curved brush for application. It smells divine, like roses, although the more I use it the stronger the smell seems to get and I'm not so sure I'm a fan some mornings.

The brush is quite strange, I can't say I've ever seen a brush like it. It curves and fits of the cake of blusher perfectly and picks up quite a bit of powder. The first time I used this it was a disaster and I vowed never to use it again. After a few days of using my own brush to apply it I became curious and tried to use the Bourjois brush again and suddenly it all made sense! If angled correctly it covers your cheek bone perfectly and gives quite a good coverage.

The shade is subtle, and no where near as pink as it appears in the pot! There is a magnet to help close it, but I don't think it's strong enough to survive bouncing around in a bag, so I'd keep it somewhere pretty secure! It's also not very messy, I was expecting there to be powder everywhere after a few uses, a bit like my bronzer and baked eye shadows, but it stays nice and neat.

Excuse my freaky face but you can see how subtle it is, the light has to catch it at just the right angle. Which is great for me, so I am loving this right now! :-)

Have you tried any of the Bourjois blushes? How did you find them?
