Beauty Talk: Blushing for summer


Despite the fact I was only blessed with only two cheeks, my blusher collection may fool you into thinking otherwise. Hands in the air with white flag waving, my name is Sarah and I have a passion for blushers - that perfectly peachy oh so ripe baby pink kind. Delving into my collection (all bladdy 36 of them) here are the cream of the crop that's taking over my summer make-up bag:



Becca Watermelon Beach Tint 

A super dinky sample picked up from one of my many Sephora dashes last year, this is the baby that just keeps on giving. Blending seamlessly, this light wash of deep pink hue is long lasting winning formula for summer days. Softly does it, it's fool proof to apply and doubles up as the perfect lip tint. 


Laura Mercier Lotus Pink

Whatever the look, any occasion - Lotus Pink is the blush I instinctively reach for. Dubbed as a second skin, this buttery soft powder strikes the perfect balance between peach and pink. The must-have pick me up that instantly brightens and perks your complexion on even the dullest of days.




Nars Deep Throat 

Quite simply, the blusher that should every girl should own. Let me enable you. 

Bobbi Brown Calypso Coral 

Alright - this beauty editor staple has featured on every glossy page since the beginning of time. But it has good reason to be so. It's that pop of coral that certifies that summer has finally arrived. Pairs perfectly with a bronzed glow and slick of lip balm.



Josie Moran Poppy Paradise

As sheer as they come, Poppy Paradise may look daunting but it's far from it. It packs a poppy hued punch without being too overwhelming, for those lazy days when you want a hint of colour and that fresh flush on the apples of your cheeks. 

Tarte Tipsy

Perhaps one of the most wearable coral blushers for any skin tone, the effortless application and long lasting formula make it one of Tarte's most coveted shades. Don't let the bright pan shade fool you into thinking it's too bright, it's serves up the just the right pop of peachy goodness. 

Nars Gina 

For a blush I snapped up on a whim, it has soon become a firm favourite in my stash. This refreshing spin on coral, Gina is as orange as they come. With a terracotta undertone, it's adds a certain warmth to complexion without looking muddy. Honestly, try it.




Tell me, what's your must have summer blush? I'll try and promise not to buy it.

    I've actually been using NARS Orgasm a lot recently. I've been using my Guy Bourdin palette quite a bit actually.
