The Balm Instain Blush In Houndstooth

If you follow my blog , You would know that I am a HUGE pink/mauve blush fan. I am naturally drawn to anything in general and honest when I saw the glimpse of Instain Blush In Houndstooth, I knew I had to have it.

The Balm Instain Blush In HoundstooththeBalm’s long-wearing, STAINING powder blush is a fashion must have! With six shades, perfect for all seasons and skin tones, it will give your cheeks color that won’t quit.

No one can ignore the uber cute packaging to instain blushes. These come in a super cute magazine- themed packaging. It opens just like a magazine and have a magnetic closure. The huge mirror inside is an added bonus .

The Balm Instain Blush In Houndstooth described as a “mauve.” It’s a medium-dark pink-mauve with a satin finish .It has a matte finish with an incredibly creamy powder texture which makes application so easy. It is really easy to blend. The formula is really pigmented, so I will suggest applying it with light hand, I use my RT blush brush, tab the excess and reapply if required. I love blushes with some good staying power and this baby doesn’t disappoint.  I applied in the afternoon and I came back home around 9 pm and I could still see it intact.They last and stay vibrant all day on my oily skin without retouching.
