MAC Glow Play blush in Flowerescent

I’ve been obsessed with the effect of lavender blushes for a while now, but they are very rare at our drugstores. One of the closest options to get without ordering online was – Glow Play Blush from Mac in the shade Totally Synced, but when I finally decided to visit the Mac store, it was out of stock. The sales assistant suggested I should try something very similar, and that is how I bought the LE shade from the Wild Cherry collection for spring 2022 called Flowerescent.

Comparing the swatches that I saw online, I would say that the Flowerescent is a bit deeper and warmer, but it is a good dupe.

Flowerescent is a medium cool-toned pink and has a satin finish. It comes in special gel/cream bouncy formula that is easy to apply and blend, looks natural, and is very long-lasting. The best way to apply it is just by using your fingers. The pigmentation is light but buildable. It is a great option for pale girls like me, but also for other skin tones. It lasts on my cheeks through the whole day without a fail.

I can easily say that this is my favorite Mac product so far and in the most stunning packaging ever. Although that shade is not exactly lavender it is very close and looks beautiful. I wanted to step away from traditional pink blushes and get something a bit different. I haven’t tried this on my eyes yet, but I think this might be a great option for some kind of monochromatic spring look.

Wishes

It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look. Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
