Bourjois Cream Blush in Nude Velvet
For such teeny little blushes, these have caused some massive hype in the blogging world since their release! Bourjois in general have been putting out some amazing products recently, they've gone from being a brand I used to feel a bit blahh about to one that I'm really quite interested in buying from. Nude Velvet immediately appealed to me, peach blushes are my Achilles heel of the makeup world anyway and so it never takes much for me to convince myself I need another one (if there were ever some kind of zombie apocalypse I'd be good for peach blush for the next five years at least, clearly I have my priorities right!) At the moment there are four shades available; I tend to steer clear of pinks as they make me look like a flushed red tomato and so I settled on the lighter of the two peachy shades '01 Nude Velvet.' I think I'm in love.
I usually prefer standard powder blushes over creams as I'm not keen on the
The only downside to these blushes (and in all fairness it's a pretty big downside in my opinion) is the size. I could hardly believe it when I opened it up, maybe it's my own fault for assuming they'd be bigger but I'd have never have expected them to contain such a tiny amount of product- 2.5g which is hardly anything. At £8 each they're not exactly the cheapest either, although luckily I do absolutely love the product itself and would definitely buy more of them even though they're expensive for what they are. I have my eye on 'Healthy Glow' next which is a darker shade of peach.
Have you tried the Bourjois cream blushes? Which is your favourite shade?

I haven't tried the Healthy Mix foundation but everyone seems to love it, I'll have to give it a go! x
DeleteLove that shade. I would love to find bourjois in the US. I agree with you that it's TINY!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's not available worldwide, I always thought Bourjois was one of the 'Rimmel/Revlon/Maybelline' type brands that could be bought anywhere. It's really small, the only downfall to it really x
DeleteWow, that is definitely really pricey because it is so small. That is a beautiful colour though!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they're allowed to sell such a small amount of product for the price, it works out more expensive than high end :( I'm in love with the colour and formulation though, so at least it's nice quality x
DeleteThis shade is so beautiful! I'll have to try it out!

I really like it! :) x
DeleteWow that is really small, lol. I'm partial to peachy blushes myself, so I like this, but I haven't tried it.
ReplyDeleteI've seen reviews on blogs for these but had no idea they were so small, so thought I'd include a picture holding it so that the size was obvious. This seems to happen to me a lot with makeup, I remember thinking how tiny my Benefit Hoola was when I bought it products must just look bigger on blogs lol x
DeleteGorgeous shade

I didn't realise there'd be so little product in these. I expected there to be quite a lot since the packaging is quite chubby. The texture looks really nice though!

I love the colour of this but can't believe how little product there is, especially as it's a highstreet brand!

Oh this is so pretty, I am itching to buy two of the blushers from Bourjois, this might be a third xx
ReplyDeleteLots of Love Beautyqueenuk!
The price for the amount of product is what was putting me off buying this originally, however this shade is so pretty I might have to just suffer it!

It does seem a little pricey but i never ever use a whole blush up so it doesn''t bother me too much especially when its such a nice shade!x
ReplyDeleteI love cream blush, but haven't yet tried the Bourjois ones! This is a lovely, shade :)

I have all 4 of them and they're all gorgeous and really subtle so you should think about trying the pinker shades :P xxx
ReplyDeleteThe colour is gorgeous, the price does put me off a bit id rather get a blush that has more product so its worth my money xx

Haven't tried them yet 'cause they haven't hit our Aussie shores (not that I am aware of anyway). Can't wait to check them out physically when they do! Thanks for the review!

I think a cream would be interesting to use in place of cake. Thank you for sharing, and for linking up to Super Sunday Sync.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty colour but it's a shame about it's size. At £8 you'd expect it to be much bigger! xx

ReplyDeleteI wish they sold this in the States! I became addicted to Bourjois when it was available in Sephora...sadly, it's ridiculously hard to find now.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try this. Holy Grail, I can’t wait!
