My latest blog about New York Color reminded me about the blush I just bought from them a little while ago at Rite Aid. Despite the fact that I just wrote a blog about how awesome the NYC website is, their latest blush is not on there. It is also not on the Rite Aid website. So I'm starting to think that I'm going crazy and I have the one and only of this product.Anyway, New York Color came out w

Continuing on my quest to personally get around to sampling and reviewing all these 'cult classic' beauty buys I've been hearing about for years, I've finally purchased Nars blush in Orgasm. I've heard a lot about this product. It's supposed to be THE perfect blush - suiting all complexions, matching all other makeup and generally being the perfect halfway point between peach and pink with the tiniest bit of shimmer to make you glow.
I bought the original powder version of this blush, simply because I already have two stain blushes and I thought I could use one with this consistency.
I've heard critics of Orgasm claim that it's too sheer and too glittery, but on my exceptionally pale one-shade-darker-than-liquid-paper skin it's neither. On the contrary if anything, it has a tendency

Everytime I get an itch to expand my beauty arsenal, I pick up a new treat for my eyes or lips - and I often forget about my cheeks. I've been alternating between the same two blushes for about about a year, so I was overjoyed when MAC debuted their limited-edition Beauty Powder Blushes .Available in eight gorgeous shades, these silky, smooth blushes offer a high-color payout. A little goes a long way - so gently sweep over cheeks, and use a slightly heavier hand on the apples for a bright pop of color.MAC generously gifted me with four blushes from the collection.

Nine Things To Say In The Deli To Make The Butcher Blush

Would you please that foot-long between your warm toasted buns.
I found my thrill on Hamburger Hill.
If I told yo...
I gagged while writing that deadline. Convulsed with violent contractions and foamed at the mouth in disgust. When you watch this video, keep a bucket near you in case it makes you very sick and you can't control the gagging. I still am.
I know a lot of you like powder blushes, but I wanted to dedicate a moment of worship to a classic berry shade of cream blush that just does so much to make me look happy and not sallow (I once got asked if I had jaundice by a friend. In my defense, I hadn't slept all night and was highly dependent on Dayquil to stay alive). I am also very much washed out in this pic as it was taken in natural sunlight, without flash, and at around 2:30 pm. However, the blush is still visible, and I hope, pretty, NARS Montenegro glides on like a dream and blends even better. I can pat it on with my fingers, use a small stipling brush, or a foundation brush to add thin layers of colour. The blush looks like an uneventful cold purple in the pan but on my cheeks it transforms to a happy, delightful, flattering berry shade. One huge plus is that it really brings a sparkle to my eyes. Madness? Maybe. However, I will swear on the casing of my first lipstick that this blush can lift the tiredness and sa
For the past few years the trend has been a more toned down, barely there version of blush. Going as far as using a lightly colored powder as blush or a natural shade to complement your skin tone, we haven’t seen blush strike it big since the eighties.
With current fashion being influenced by everything [...]
So to continue my blush installments, I have decided to head this one with a classic. Just don't be scared by the shimmer you see in the pic as I'm also wearing a highlighter over it (NARS Albatross to be exact). In case you didn't know, I'm something of a highlighter-addict.Lovejoy on its own, without the added highlighter, is a very versatile rosey bronze colour with slight golden shimmer. Slight shimmer mind you that is very natural looking when worn. The colour itself veers a bit more towards a brown tinted bronze on my skin and the rose undertones help the colour from not making me look like I was dipped in some liquid metal.The blush is a great neutral that has great pigmentation and stays pretty much all day. It is also a very versatile shade that I keep reaching for when I do a various number of looks. On my skin I found that I didn't need to use a special brush for application and a regular blush brush would do. If you're fairer and want a sheerer application, then I thi

Bourjois is a french brand of drugstore cosmetics but don’t be fooled by the idea of them being drugstore. They are a sister company of Chanel and have been around since the 1800s! The Little Round Pot blush quality is really awesome and that is a great compliment coming from someone who loves blushes. I was first introduced to them by a friend and I have loved every single one I’ve tried.
I used to have more, but these are the only 4 blushes I have left. The blushes tend to be shimmery although there are one or two which are matt for those that prefer it. I kept these 4 because they are my favourite colours. Lilas D’or and Rose D’or have gold shimmer which aren’t over the top and are really pretty on the cheeks. The shimmer in Rose de Jaspe and Rose Frisson are less obvious. They look pretty similar in the photo but don’t on the skin which justifies me keeping them all
The blushes come in a round domed shape. They are baked instead of pressed an
I’d heard a lot about Benefit Cosmetics’ Dandelion all over face powder for a while. However, reviews were mixed about it.
Most people felt that it was too light and did not show up on their skin at all. Some of these complaints were even from girls with very light colouring, so I was rather reluctant to try it. After all, it costs RM129 here in Malaysia.
However, I managed to snag one from the USA for US$28 and thought to give it a shot. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the result.
Dandelion is supposed to be an all over face brightening powder as opposed to a blush. However, as the colour does come out rather pink I don’t think its really advisable to use it as an all over powder.
In the pan, the blush is a light pink with slight purple tone. On skin, it is a very light pink but don’t bother trying it on the back of your hand - doesn’t show up. The colour is sheer but that is good because you are less prone to make mistakes. You can layer it on for

As promised earlier this week; here's another recently recorded track by Danish trio Us With Millions. I'll stop comparing the band to that ONE particular band, as this new song clearly proves that these guys are fully capable and ready to make a name of their own. The quiet opening part aside, Do You Blush? follows nicely in the footstep of the band's previous works, which probably is the best recommendation I can give! Finally; big thank you to the boys for letting me post this as an exclusive download.+ Do You Blush?In the mailbox (those promotion mails never stop) I've found this excellent one by Seattle indie rock/pop 5-piece Siberian.

For my next installment of blush, I would like to introduce one of my favourite blushes. It scares everyone in the pan, but I always seem to get compliments ranging from 'you look so awake and fresh' to 'you look so soft and girly.' MAC Dollymix always seems to jolt up my eyes and make my face look alive.Do not be scared of the way the blush looks in the pan. It looks like a screaming blue-toned bright pink that has a slight shimmer. When worn, the shimmer is very subtle and the colour of the blush itself is very sheer. For some of my NARS blushes, I dare not use a normal blush brush. However, Dollymix goes on sheerly so I don't need to worry about bringing out the stipling or fan brush.I love using this blush to give me a fresh and girly look. It's also great for that 'just came back from making snow angels outside' kind of glow. The good thing about it is that you don't have to be overly frightened that you will overdo it on the first go. A regular blush application will do
I have a thing for pigmented blushes because they suit such a wide variety of skintones, last forever, and really show up on my skintone. There are two NARS gems that I think feel make me glow and they are Exhibit A and Taj Mahal. This is a review of the latter.Taj Mahal is a bright burnt pumpkin shade with gold shimmer. And with that description alone I'm sure you're ready to write me off as the sister of the with in Hansel and Gretel who regularly bullies little kids into giving her their candy (the last part might actually be true, but I'm not sure I was to own up to it yet). However, let me assure you that this blush just needs to be applied sheerly and it gives the most amazing warm glow on my deep olive skin. The shimmer in this blush is not overwhelming and when worn, it's very subtle.The blush itself glides on flawlessly and a little goes a very, very, very long way. It also lasts through an entire day without budging so that is always a plus. The trick with this blush is t

I decided to do the powder brush reviews one by one as putting blush, wiping it off, and applying it again made my face irritated and (three guesses what happened next) red. So here comes my powder blush rave.Format is a pigmented deep coppery-cocoa blush with subtle shimmer. Apart from my much beloved (beloved, fanatic obsession, I can't really tell the difference here) NARS blushes, this blush is a recurring favourite of mine. It's one of those blushes you love, use, and forget about. Then, you reach for it again and wonder why on earth you don't wear it more often.The blush itself glides on beautifully smooth and is very pigmented, so a light application is very important. I don't like high shimmer on my blushes, but the shimmer here is so subtle and I like having to skip adding a highlighter. The colour I end up with on my cheeks is a warm, tanned, and a bit windblown effect. It's a very versatile colour that I use year round. I like it for the colder as well as the winter mon
I know some of you ladies dislike cream blush and I will post reviews of some powder blushes, but I really can't believe I haven't raved about this yet. It is one my favourite blushes of all time: so flattering and easy to apply. Here's why I love this blush so much.First off, let me start off with the texture of Nars' cream blushes. They are in cream form, but they are rather dry compared to other cream blushes. This is not to say that they're hard to apply. They go on like a dream and blend into my skin without much effort. They also dry to a powder finish and don't really look or feel like other cream blushes. And to top it off, Nars' cream blushes don't make my pores look like craters or break me outSecondly, do not be frightened by the colour in the pan and keep in mind that a little goes a very long way. Cactus flower is a gorgeous bright poppy shade with subtle gold shimmer. When applied, it lends a beautiful, almost unnoticeable glow, and a pop of pinky/coral colour on

Keira Knightley has replaced Kate Moss as the face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle perfume (a tough gig, I might add). Until recently, I've never really given Keira a second thought. Perhaps it was the second time I saw Love Actually (now my second favourite film of all time) that I really began to notice her.Well, you can't really not notice her in this ad. Although, I've heard they airbrushed some breasts in, she stills looks natural. This ad is beautiful. One of my favourites. They've managed to make it sexy, but not trashy, or too revealing.Keep up the good work, lol.Catch.*Romany*[photo courtesy of chinadaily.com.cn]

Rhyea asked about NYX blushes in a comment on my post below where I confessed to being a blush addict.
These are the only NYX blushes I own at the moment. I used to have about 6 but I gave away the rest for various reasons, mainly because I had too many duplicate colours.
NYX Cosmetics is pronounced “nix”. According to their website:
NYX was named after the ancient Greek goddess who ruled the night just like many of our fans out there who rule the night life in this hip and modern techno-savvy world!
They are based in Los Angeles and their products are very reasonably priced. In fact, I’d go so far as to say they are really cheap! The quality of their makeup is very good for the price. I find their powders relatively finely milled and the colour pigmentation is pretty good. I did not expect much for the price, but I was very pleasantly surprised to see that it was all good. In fact, the pigmentation is so good, I’d say they are equal to some higher end products
There are so many visions of Santorini that linger in my memory;
the crisp confluence of whitewashed walls against deep blue sky,
the deeply evocative pulse of the caldera,
the earthy exuberance of mule rides up the cliff face,
the lurking magic of Oia and the whispering of werewolves and vampires
in those cobbled streets when the sun had gone down.
Santorini will forever hold a magical place in my heart.
Not simply because of it's beauty and mystery
enjoyed in the enigmatic company of my adventurous and decadent friend A
and the lively, invigorating exuberance of my offbeat son Dan,
but because much of the time I was deliciously soused.
Yes, dear reader, I admit that a good deal of my time in Santorini was enjoyed in a waft of decadent inebriation, my gentle demeanour laughably pissed and floating on a rummy cushion of lush.

The next "mousse-on-face-not-on-hair" product which I'm going to review today is another product of Maybelline, which is the Dream Mousse Blush.Like the mousse foundation, it was my first time with a mousse blush. I've always used powder blushes, and after using the mousse blush, well, let's just say I'm sticking to my powders.Description:Air-soft formula provides luminous, long-lasting color on cheeks. Glides on smoothly and blends easily for seamless colour and a natural, radiant finish. Air-whipped mousse delivers satin-soft feel on skin. Long-wearing formula will not clog pores. For best results, With your fingertips, pat a small amount of blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Use feathery strokes to blend gently from your cheekbones to your temples. To build colour intensity, apply more blush.The thing with the mousse blush is that it is to be applied after foundation, before loose powder. The colour which I have is the Peach Satin, which is a pretty coral. From first glance,

I was reading some comments below about some readers finishing up their blushes and I recalled that I used to too. I had a favourite L’oreal Blush Delice in Rosy Cheeks that I nearly finished. The only bit left of it is the colour around the sides and I still use it when I travel. Absolutely gorgeous colour. But since then, I haven’t finished up any more blushes. My collection above should tell you why. *gulp* I’ve since given away some and added others as this picture was taken about a year ago so the brands aren’t accurate. Maybe I should update yes? I wonder if they have rehab for blush addicts as they have drug rehabs?
I used to be so intimidated by blush and the little brush that comes along in the packaging. You know, the one that is so tiny that you really don't know what to do with it. So I thought a blush tutorial might be in order. This look is basically a very soft, sheer pop of color on the cheeks. True, the pics are cropped oddly but the basic idea is quite easy (at least I think so).What you need:Blush. Quite the shocking revelation isn't it? I used LORAC blush in Soul.A blush brush. I used Smashbox #16. There are some great blush brushes out there ranging from Essence of Beauty (great, great brushes) and Sonia Kashuk to Stila.A kabuki bush. I used MAC #182. Again, there are cheaper and more expensive alternatives out there.DiagramThis is a diagram of how the application proceeds. The application is something of a triangle, at the center of the apple of the cheek the application is at its heaviest and most noticeable, and then I make my way to the temple thinning out the blush "line."Ste
_Album "Insomniatic" is just one day from being released July 10th and here's two bonus tracks: Blush + Tears.Blush is a really nice ballad with a diffrent sound to it, but it's what makes it a beautiful song.

Brette Sandler bikinis are amazing. Something about the designs is just so sexy, but not slutty sexy. It's not like they are especially more revealing than your regular ol' bikinis. As revealing as bikinis can be, they are actually not bad. Perhaps it's the sultry colors and the details like little rings, peep holes, constrasting panels, and ruchings that render the suites so unique and extremely sexy. Honestly, these are the best bikinis I've seen in a long time.Carly Bikini in Pearl/Poppy $159Richie Bikini in Rose Gold $159Margie Retro Bikini in Hunter and Rose Gold $159Charlotte Button Front Bikini in Navy $159
Turbulent is a limited edition blush from Chanel’s 2006 Summer Collection. Its a Joues Contrast blush which is the round ones not the quilted one.
The colour is a very cool toned pink with lots of shimmer. The texture is hard as its a baked powder blush. This is opposed to pressed powder i.e. where they compress the powder. However, despite it feeling hard to the touch, its very pigmented. One swipe of your brush over the blush, and you’ll have a lovely pink flush with shimmer.
This is my first Chanel Joues Contrast blush and I am sure its not going to be my last!
The problem however, is that this Chanel blush colour is limited edition and already sold out in many counters. So, I rooted around my blush stash, and came up with a dupe in Make Up For Ever No. 85.
Here are some comparison pictures of the 2 blushes.
The Chanel blush is lighter pink in pan with more sparkles. The Make Up For Ever one is more berry toned and more pigmented.
Here is a picture without flash of the
As campanhas criadas pela BBDO de Berlin para a marca de lingeries Blush, me impressionaram. São bem produzidas, bem fotografadas, criativas, etc.
Pesquisando a respeito em blogs gringos, descobri que podem se tratar de peças criadas apenas para a autopromoção da agência, que as inscreve em festivais de publicidade.
Parece que a loja de lingeries Blush, que fica no centro de Berlin, é muito pequena para suportar uma grande estrutura de publicidade e uma grande agência, além de não se tratar de uma marca famosa e global, como pode se imaginar ao ver os anúncios.
Não se pode afirmar essa suspeita, mas criar algo apenas para promover uma agência, não me agrada. Parece que os criativos esqueceram o papel principal da publicidade, que é criar marcas e vender produtos, e estão mais preocupados em ganhar prêmios. A melhor propaganda é aquela que vende!
De qualquer maneira, confira as peças, que independentemente da suspeita, são muito interessantes.

I read a lot of good reviews about this mousse blush before it came into Malaysia and managed to get my hands on it to try.
This is a mousse based blush, similar to that of Stila’s mousse blushes. It comes in a heavy glass pot with the colour of the cap representing the colour of the blush inside. Its too bulky and heavy to travel with and the contents can shift in transit. There are many colours available overseas, but when I checked at Guardian here, we have only about 4 colours available.
This mousse blush is not to be confused with the Dream Matte Mousse foundation also by Maybelline. The texture and concept is the same, but this blush is not matt. The colours have some slight shimmer to them which is useful in a blush to add texture.
When you open the pot, you’ll find the coloured mousse inside. It feels soft and springy to the touch - rather like that of a sponge cake. You tap your finger on the blush and then apply to your cheeks as you would a cream blush.

DUWOP appeared on the scene with its extraordinary Lip Venom, which gave women the bee stung lips they were craving, but has since added other wonderful products to its line, which we have featured is past posts. The new Blushbooster from the Feed Your Face collection enhances the shade of any blush or it can be worn alone. I’ve been wearing the color Mango solo for a new look and it gives me a hint of color plus it also hydrates, soothes, and protects my skin so I think I’ll be wearing it on many summer days. $22 @ sephora.com ~Randi
I never used to look at Guerlain’s blushes for the simple reason that the brand does not excite me. I associate it with older women and the fact that the Guerlain counter at the malls are always quiet and manned by older ladies doesn’t help that image.
However, on a whim, I purchased 2 Guerlain Radiant blushes from StrawberryNET.com a couple of months ago when they were running a promotion. The two I got were Apricot Souffle D’or and Rose Pluie D’or. D’or in French indicates that there’s gold shimmer and I like shimmer in blushes.
Packaging
The blushes come in a large square case with a beaten gold cover. The bottom that houses the blushes is a clear plastic and the back has a large circle with a colour matching the blush inside and the name printed on it. I guess it makes it easier to locate the colour you want without having to open it up. The case is easy to open and it comes with a brush that I never use anyway. Its always a surprise to me to se
Stila Convertible Colour in PeonyYes, I am still bringing you the promised threading tutorial, but before do that let me tell you of this fabulous find. I just scouted the perfect lip and cheek product, Stila Convertible Colour in Peony, that gives me a natural and glowy dusty peachy-pink flush and the perfect "JLo" nude lips.I had given up on multi-tasking products long ago. Either they're a great blush but too dry for using as a lip product, or the texture is too waxy-feeling to use on my cheeks as well. I used to much rather prefer to buy a cheek product and a lip product separately. However, Stila's Convertible Colour made me retract my previous notion. Peony is a highly pigmented creamy blush and lip product that gives me a great glowy, natural flush. It looks rather dull in the pan, but it's so easy to blend and adds such a warmth to my face that I plan to hoard more of these. There are no sparkles and glitters but I get a soft glow from this product. Also, as hard as I tries
Smashbox 'O-Glow' Microcirculating Cheek Color $26My blush has never looked so natural and so pretty, thanks to this brilliant product from Smashbox. It's the kind of color you get when you've played a round of tennis or had a hot makeout session with your beau. The gel is actually colorless, so how can it give you the most natural blush? It's all in the natural extracts of goji berries, which stilmulate your circulation, so it is your own color glowing from inside out! How cool is that? And the ultra-light gel makes your skin skily smooth.By the way, goji berry has long been a staple in Chinese medicine and food therapy for its nutrient richness and antioxidant qualities. You can make them into tea, just add hot water and steep. They are sweet and delicious on their own. Or cook them in soups. Or mix them in your cereal. If you have them consistently over a long term, they will give you beautiful skin and beautiful clear eyes and vision (which is a sign of youth). My

Some people are blessed with natural blushing color and high cheekbones. For the rest of us we need a little help to achieve the same healthy glow. When you were a child you had a sweet pink tint to your cheeks, to keep that youthful tint most women use blush.

Alright, so I admit I'm not the most ardent blogger and my great following seems to reflect this. However, I have some exciting news: I have found two complete duds and one amazing bronzer.So let me start with the good:Nars bronzer in CasinoI only have good things to say about Nars. Well i'd love it if it were much cheaper, but goodness I love this bronzer. I aply this with a skunk brush and make sure I use a light hand. It took me a while to get this down as I alwas used to apply it too heavily and ended up looking lobster-esque. The texture and pigmentation is ivine and while I'm not a huge fan of too much shimmer this is subtle enough for it to look natural. The laguna bronzer was too light for me but Casino works great!The bad:Kevyn Aucoin "The Creamy Moist Glow" in PravellaI have all of Kevyn Aucoin's book and yes, he was an amazingly talented make-up artist. I am such a fan of his work (there was this one look he did on Naomi Campbell that had me hunting for similar colours f
The new blogger to the Styledash team, Brigitte Dale, asks if Playboy should really be "the kind of company that should start selling women's cosmetics?". The answer is, of course, darling, who else. Who better than to give women everywhere those luscious dick-sucking-lips than the true experts? Accordingly, Playboy has launched Playboy Beauty, a line of cosmetics designed to fluff up flirtation. The Long Wear Eyeliner Pens are designed with an all day, "stay the night" formula, as the Shimmer Bricks powder helps give your face the healthy "afterglow". So, if you didn't get any the night before, at least Playboy knows how to fake it 'til you make it. Wonder if they have Melted Mascara and Freshly Fucked Hairspray lines?tags technorati : cosmetics playboy
My job as a tech gives me the opportunity to declare hardware as obsolete or uneconomical to repair. In the last week or two we've had a good cleaning around the work place and that turned out to be loads of fun. How often do you get to throw monitors, about 200 old hard disk drives, printers, scanners, and other stuff as hard as you can into a big container? I should have made some pictures to post, man! Anyway, today my coworker and I had a load of cables, an old phone, mice, keyboards, external modems, and other stuff to throw and tear apart. Even a couple of old servers! I guess the lesson is: How much fun it is to be destructive when you can!! By the way, if you haven't seen the movie Office Space, you have got to get/rent/borrow it!! A classic must see.
