❤ Vapour Organic Beauty Aura Multi-Use Blush ❤

 I love blush, it is such a simple way to give your face a fresh little glow.   My favorite blushes are usually those that emulate my post-run glow, which is a rosy-pink.  However I have been known to also rock a shimmery coral-y look.  Hello Nars Orgasm! I went through a stage where blush was the makeup statement I was making.  This happens to me mostly in the wintertime when I feel particularly washed out.  I love a warm pink cheek on all that pale milky skin!

Aura blush is a wonderful product and one of my absolute favorite things from the Vapour line.  I got the color “Torch” which is a VERY bright fuchsia pink, that blends to a sheer, flushed pink.  It comes in a giant lipstick like tube, which will last forever since it is so pigmented.  I like to put two big dots on the apples of my cheeks directly from the tube and blend it with my Sephora Airbrush contour brush.  I find that when I use my fingers I sort of end up wiping it off.  It also seems to wear better for me using a brush, though it is not necessary.  It is not greasy at all, so if you are prone to breakouts I think the consistency would be fine. 

It works really well for a lipstick too, though I don’t usually do the matchy lips and cheeks thing.  The color torch is very close to what they are showing Courtesan as on the advertising pic on the Vapour website.  It is not really shimmery.  In fact, it is hardly noticeable as having shimmer at all, more like a soft glow.

I have yet to find a product from Vapour that I don’t like.  Their product performance is great and the colors range is gorgeous.  I can’t wait to try their version of Nars Orgasm blush which is called Intrigue. I’ll let you know once I get it!  UPDATE: I got the "Intrigue" blush shade and it is super pretty, but really almost too light for my skin.  I think if you were extremely extremely fair it would be a good way to impart a little peachy glow. 

The once over……….........
