Finally, it's the last installment of my latest haul series from
Darling Girl Cosmetics! (Click for parts
1 and
2!)
This one is all about BLUSHES! I got several blush samples including some brand new ones and they're all amazing.<3
Let's get started :D
|
"Cherry Bomb" and "Secret Star"; I've already used Secret Star and I love it. In the bag it looks like a super light bubblegum pink and reminds me of Mod lipstick from the 60's, but on me it warms up to a perfect pink. |
|
"Purple Haze" and "Orange You Glad To See Me?" Self-explanatory colors, both are matte. |
|
The pink triplets, these are all new shades! As soon as I saw Susan's pictures on Facebook I knew I had to have them all<3 |
|
"Virgin" is a bright pink with slight blue duochrome. I already wore this one once I think, it's a bit more sheer than some of Susan's other blushes. It has slight shimmer and is nice if you just want a very sheer lightly shimmery flush :) |
|
"Cheeky"; MAN was I looking forward to this one! It's a peachy-pink shade of coral and I love it. It's a soft focus blush which I think means it's mostly matte and extremely pigmented! I tried using this on and accidentally used too much.. yeah, don't make that mistake cuz this stuff stays put! I think I'll especially love this blush come Spring/Summer. |
|
"Man Candy", kind of an inside joke lol; it's a bright pink, a bit warmer than Virgin. This one has duochrome too but I can't remember what color? Maybe blue as well? Anyway, it seems to also be a little more on the sheer side than the Soft Focus blushes I've tried. Can't wait to test this ;D |
|
"Cougar" and "Boy Crazy"; neither of these colors is something I've used before since I'm pretty fair and neutral complexion-wise. I tend to think of colors like these as more suitable for warmer/tan people, but I'm sure if you were determined you could make them work on fair skin. I got them because they're new and I couldn't help myself lol. Cougar is a rusty shade with blue duochrome, I really like the color but I've yet to try it on myself. Boy Crazy is gorgeous, it's a really nice shade of brown with a little sheen; I think this could totally work as a blush or bronzer for even light-skinned ladies. I'm totally open to experimentation ;) |

Direct sunlight; the colors are not really this neon.. for some reason this camera likes to saturate reds. |
|
Orange You Glad (last) looks red in these pics, just be advised that it actually is a bright orange. So bright in fact that the camera couldn't handle it's awesomeness! |
So that about wraps it up for this haul! I hope you enjoyed these swatches and I hope you'll give Darling Girl a try when the shop is back up after the holidays! :)
