Bare Escentuals Azure Iris & Twilight

This is the second time I’m wearing the Bare Escentuals Ready shadow in Azure Iris. It’s just such a pretty lavender color that brightens up the eyes. They claim that it only takes a tiny little pat of your brush on the shadow to have more than you need for application, but I disagree. I don’t need to pack on the product, but it took me a couple of swipes of my brush to pick up enough product  for application.

A new product I’m wearing today is the Rose Gold blush from Sleek MakeUp. It’s my first blush from Sleek. I totally adore their eyeshadows, and was excited to try out the blushes. Rose Gold seems to be a popular one, based on what I’ve read, so I decided that would be the first one I’d try. Talk about only needing a tiny little pat of your brush to pick up enough product! This is very pigmented. The color is not sparkly or glittery, but it does have a high sheen to it, almost too much for a blush. When applied too heavily, it looks weird, like metallic cheeks. I think this blush is better suited to wear on the cheekbones than on the apples of the cheeks. When applied lightly to the cheekbones, its like getting a blush and highlighter in one product!
