Makeup Collection Friday #7: Blushing Beauty

It's Friday so you know what that means...I will be doing part 7 of my Makeup Collection Friday Series and this Friday is also one of my favorites (like all the others I guess lol) and it can really take your look to a different level.  It can warm up your face and make you look like you are blushing from within.  I tend to go for more warm shades but every now and then I switch it up and do something wild and crazy.

This Friday I will be showing you my blush collection which includes a couple of cream blushes, two palettes and the rest individual blushes (mostly from ELF, I love them)

Cream blushes are great, well some of them, and they really can give a more natural blushing effect in my opinion.  I still like my regular powder brushes better and I rarely ever reach for these but let's talk about them anyways.  From left to right I have a Josie Maran Argan Color Stick in Red Carpet, Maybelline Master Glaze in Coral Sheen, Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Orchid Hush, and Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Candy Coral.

 

Here are some of my powder blushes that I also do not reach for as much but they are all amazing.  From left to right I have a NYX Blush in Cinnamon, Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush in Heather Silk, and a Coastal Scents Blush Duo Sample In Elegant (Left) and Fresh (Right) that I got in my August 2014 Ipsy Glam Bag

 



 

Like I said above ELF Blushes are my favorite and I just purchased some more but I will show you those in my upcoming ELF Haul.  These two are from the Studio Line and they are only $3.00 a piece the one on the left is Giddy Gold and the other is Candid Coral.

 

Of all my ELF Blushes these pressed mineral blushes from the mineral line are definitely my favorite and they are so pigmented and buttery and smooth it is ridiculous that they are only $5.00 and they are fairly new (beginning of this summer I think) so when I saw them I bought all four and I probably reach for these the most.  The colors (top) are Wanderlust and Cabo Cabana and (bottom) are Jet Setter and Sweet Retreat. My favorite of the four is definitely Cabo Cabana, but you would know that because I talked about it here.



 

 These two ELF Blushes are from the Studio Line and they are the Baked Blushes and personally I use them on top of matte blushes because they can be very shimmery and not give off the most pigment on my skin tone at least but they give a great shimmer and kind of act as a blush/highlight. The two I have are Peachy Cheeky and Pinktastic from left to right.

 

Last but not least I have my second favorite brand, Coastal Scents and I have both of their Blush Palettes and I love these colors, I have been neglecting them because I use my ELF blushes more but the Coastal Scents 10 Blush Palette (the original one) used to be my ride or die .  They are perfect because each palette has 10 blushes with different finishes and shades, you can get matte + shimmer and neutral + bold blushes all in one palette and I love both of these. The top palette the  "Blush Too Palette" and the bottom one is the original "10 Blush Palette"
