Peaches and Dream!- Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush

Choices, choices, choices, oh how I hate thee sometimes.Choosing my lust have Smashbox product was pretty difficult. on one corner was the Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush and in the other corner was the Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener.I didn't know, so I enlisted the help of my little Yorkie Kush. For a while it looked as if even he couldn't decided, but in the end, he chose the blush!

He looked very chuffed might I add. Thank you my boy. Mwa

Back to the blush . . . it gives you the right amount of flush.

I got the shade in Peachy Dream.

This shade will suit the palest skin to the deepest. This award-winning, mineral blush gives you a peachy glow that is uber feminine while being a bit edgy. This blush ticks all the right boxes for me and the best part is I use minimal effort to get maximum impact! I have many friends who are terrified of wearing blush for fear of looking like a walking/talking advert that screams 'Boswell Willkie is coming to town'! It bothers me that many women of colour restrict themselves to the rules set out by 'make up gurus'. Often they confine themselves to the 'deep wine plum,burgundy and super deep, dark shades with hints of gold' Huh? Shut the front door! As long as a blush doesn't make you look ashy, you can pull off any colour. It's not the shade of blush that matters, rather, it's the amount you apply that makes you look flat or fab. This blush breaks all the rules and I love its rebelliousness . . .

And, I love the tourney and grinder that gives you freshly milled, silky powder with a great colour pay-off. Some people say the grinder is gimmicky, but it works for me, shaving off and dispensing just the right amount of product you need without wasting a pinch.

I use the blush with an angled blush brush and dust it on the apples on my cheeks blending towards the temple. It can be sheered out for the day and built up for the night. However, the main reason I’m in lust and can't live without this blush is because when I put it on, I feel like an angel, lit from within. I feel great, confident and happy  - and for me, that’s all that matters… truly.
