Hey Beauties!

I've already expressed my love for H&M Pure Radiance Powder Blusher in the shade Brown Sugar. It has become one of my favorite blushes. I adored luminous finish of it. Because I liked it so much, I had to get two more shades. One is this pretty Apricot shade that I'll present today.

H&M blushes come in a plastic gold and black packaging in the shape of a honey comb. I adore how thin and small they are, because they're great to travel with. In each is 5 grams of product and the price is 7.99€, but this one was on sale for only 3€. 

Blush has a very finely milled texture to it. It almost feels a bit wet, which means it has a nice pigmentation, but the shade itself is very light. I love their luminous finish, because it has a bit of sheen to it (very tiny shimmer) and doesn't look dead matte on the skin. It gives a natural flush of color with a healthy doze of sheen. I find that kind of finish more flattering than straight up matte blushes. They call it sheer and this Apricot shade definitely has some transparency to it, but you still have to be careful not to apply to much. 

It applies like a dream and it stays on my cheeks for pretty much the whole day. H&M blushes have one of the best staying power out of all the blushes that I own. 

Apricot shade is a very light muted pinkier peach shade. It doesn't look like an inside of an apricot, it looks more like a ripe side of the apricot, which turns a bit pinkier. I find the shade unique, because you can't say it's pink and it's also not an orange based peach shade. On my warm skin tone this looks like a warm muted mix of pink and peach, but I assume it would look more pink and cooler on cool skin tones. I love the fact that it's the lightest shade of blush that I own and that it has that lovely luminous finish, which looks really natural.

I compared Apricot with some other blushes and found out that it's the lightest shade of the blushes that I own and it has the most unique mix of pink and peach. Brown Sugar, also from H&M, is like a brownish peach variation. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso is the most orange peach shade and also has a distinct yellow undertone. MAC Pinch Me is a more redish brownish peach shade and is in fact the darkest of these. Catrice Defining Blush in 030 Love & Peach is the most vibrant and the most coral shade (a mix of pink and orange). 

There's nothing I wouldn't like about this blush. Shade Apricot is the lightest and prettiest mix of pink and peach, but still looks very warm on my skin tone. I love luminous finish, which gives you a very subtle sheen, but you can't see any shimmer in it whatsoever. The packaging is cute, small and easy to carry around. Blush has an amazing staying power and the price isn't that bad either. Apricot has been on my cheeks for pretty much all my makeup looks these days. It's juts such a versatile shade. If you haven't tried any H&M blushes yet, but you like muted kind of shades, I highly recommend you to check these out.

Hey Beauties!

Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer is my favorite concealer. I use it every time I do my makeup. I already have two of their shades, but recently they've added a third one. It's lighter which is just what I needed in my life. Ever since I got it, I can't stop using it.

I compared all three shades and 005 is definitely the most yellow toned as well as the lightest of them all. It's perfect for fair warm toned complexions. 010 is very grey pink toned and still very light. This is perfect for all you with cool skin tones and fair complexion. 020 is the darkest and also the most orange one of them all. I would say this is going towards medium complexion, but I can also use it in the summer, when I get some tan. It's also very warm toned.

Shade 005 is very similar to MAC's Pro Longwear Concealer in NC15 in terms of lightness. I feel like 005 is slightly more orange yellow, while NC15 is more yellow. MAC's is a lot more liquid, while Catrice is more of a thicker version and it dries a lot quicker.

This is definitely my holy grail concealer right now and I just hope that they'll stock it in Müller, because I see it's sold out often and I know why. This is creamy, long lasting, doesn't emphasize lines, good coverage and very light shade, which is just what I need. I highly advise you to check it out in the store and maybe blend it under the eyes instead of putting it on the skin. Don't get afraid if it oxidizes.
