Review: Essence Blush Up!

I had heard a lot about the Essence Silky Touch Blushes and was browsing an Essence stand thinking about picking one up when my eye was caught instead by the Essence Blush Up! Powder Blush in Heat wave  I haven’t seen a gradient blush as stunning as this in the ‘drugstore’ before and was really impressed by the size of the pan for the cost, for $6.45 I had to make it mine. That being said, I didn’t have very high expectations but I was blown away by the quality of this blush! The colour is amazing, it might look a little intimidating but a swirl of the orange and the pink together gives the perfect pop of colour on the cheeks or you can use one colour or the other. The pigmentation is great but when picked up lightly can be really subtle and blends really well. Blushes don’t last on me through the day no matter what and this was no exception but I don’t mind a cheeky touch up during the day.

Essence has nailed this one and delivered a taste of high-end makeup into a super affordable product.

I would definitely recommend this blush and I’d love to know any other amazing Essence products I’ve been missing out on!
