Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Giddy Pink Blush

From now on call me Slow Coach.

Whilst other beauty boffins have been banging on about the marvels of Bare Escentuals for years, I've only recently joined the party - and when I say recently, I mean so long after the shindig started there's not even any place left for me to dump my coat. Trust me though, that's a good sign; after all, who wants to leave a good bash? Especially when that said bash concerns beautiful blushers like this....

Giddy Pink is something I could quite happily stare at for hours. I mean, just look at it - all bright and brazen without a care in the world. Whilst the colour vibrates shamelessly within it's pot, when applied to the skin a somewhat more gentle and silky personality is revealed. It's like the Beyonce and Sasha Fierce of the make up world - and I bloody love Beyonce.

Made from 100% bare minerals, this blusher applies unbelievably smooth and even when buffed against the cheek. With a light hand the colour is both soft and radiant with a glowing baby pink glimmer, absolutely ideal for subtle sunny day shimmer. When layered slightly heavier, the tone's intensity deepens and transforms into a shade far closer to it's original pot shade. It's this simple versatility that makes this pink suitable for all colourings and complexions.

Giddy Pink Blush swatched

0.85g of product will last you a looooooong time; the smallest piece of powder will instantly provide warmth to the skin and for that reason alone you'll never find yourself wanting to use too much in one application. Although the pot would hugely benefit from a built in sifter (if only to make the blush more travel friendly), the colour holds up remarkably well throughout the day and adds the most beautiful sheen to the skin.

Whilst I may be incredibly slow to the party, as they always say - it's better late then never.

Now, where's the buffet? I got me some party rings to eat....!

Giddy Pink Blush is available from Bare Escentuals stores and stands worldwide, plus lookfantastic.com for £17.
