Unlocking the Vault: My Blush Collection

I’m a self confessed blush whore. I can’t get enough of them and feel naked when one isn’t gracing my cheeks as part of my daily face. I thought it was about time (long overdue in fact) that I delved deep and shared with you, the numerous shades I’ve collected over the years and show why they hold a place in my collection.

The majority of my blushes originate from MAC (when MAC really WAS my crack!), but I have a few from NARS, MUFE, NYX, Bobbi Brown, BECCA and Illamasqua. A couple from Black Radiance too. If there’s a particular shade you’d like me to do a post on, then let me know in the comments and if I own it then I’ll line it up in a future post for you.
Glancing at my collection as I type this post, I realise this series may take a while. Hmm. No shit Sherlock!

ETA: I’ve swatched a few blushes in past posts, so be sure to check out my blusher label HERE to see if I’ve already swatched the blush shade(s) you’re interested in. I don’t mind writing up another as I’ll try (time permitting) to always include pics of me actually wearing them which will give you a better idea of suitability.

    Lmaoooo that's a lot of blush! To be fair your cheeks always look incredibly glowy whenever I see you.

    Would love to see a post on very cool/blue-toned shades since you always hear that's a no-no for dark/warm skintones. Personally I think it looks hot (as long as you choose the right shade).

    I'm with you – blushes are slowly becoming my new addiction (even more than green eyeshadows, of which I own about a million) Pretty impressive pile you've got going on *drools*

    WOwsers!! That is a lot. I thought I had a lot of blushes (at like 12) but now I only have 6. A sista had to consolidate. I kinda want to re-up again though. I hate that I gave so many away.
