For rosy cheeks ~ NYX Cream Blush in Diva, Review, Photos and Swatches

NYX Cream Blush In Diva

Looks can be deceptive. What looks scary red in the pan can translate to a beautiful rosy glow on the cheek.Case in point, the NYX cream blush in Diva. I have mentioned how much I love the NYX cream blushes here. This is no exception. The texture of the NYX cream blushes is amazing and they are very easy to blend.

This color looks scary red in the pan but on application it looks really beautiful. The rick is to take a really small quantity and blend.It looks like a deep rosy pink on the cheeks.

Cherry Culture Haul, Swatches and Reviews

I first heard about the economical awesomeness of NYX a year back while browsing through various beauty blogs. I was too scared of online shopping back then and didn’t consider buying online from cherryculture.

Then one random day while grocery shopping in Total Mall I spotted NYX counter! I quickly scuttled across the floor and landed at the aforementioned counter with a huge grin on my face. Much to my dismay though they had a very limited collection and almost no testers! How can a makeup counter have no testers is beyond me! Also each single eyeshadow was priced at 400-500 I think. Now why would I pay so much for NYX when by paying a couple of hundred rupees I can get a MAC refill eyeshadow. Anyway I liked what I saw, testers or no testers especially the quilted pattern on the eyeshadows and blushes. 

I ordered from Cherryculture.com in October sometime last year. Instead of doing individual reviews I thought I will do one haul post and mini reviews for each product since I have had a few months to play with these goodies.

1-    NYX Rouge Cream blush In Tea Rose

(L -R) Cream Blush in Tea Rose and Golden
- This made me fall in love with cream blushes.It comes across as a lovely muted peach color on my skin. For everyday look I take a little bit on my fingers and just tap tap on my cheeks and blend upward. It gives a very natural looking glow to my skin. For night time this can be built up in intensity. I have oily skin  breakout prone skin but this hasn’t broken me out in any way. It does disappear though after 3-4 hours but then no blush lasts on me more than 4 hours. I just love this blush and would definitely recommend it.
