Sephora Must-Have: Smashbox "Radiance" blush
Back many months ago when I visited a Cosmetics Company Outlet, there was an extremely pigmented hot fuchsia Estee Lauder blush. I passed on it, and regretted the decision for months. I decided to go to Sephora to try and find a similar product, and I ended up with a Smashbox blush in the shade "Radiance".
You can tell it's bright, but it's even brighter in real life! It has nice, simple packaging. There's a mirror in the bottom of the container that swings out, which I never even noticed until I took these pictures. Cute, but pointless.
It looks scary when you swipe it with your finger, but it actually goes on pretty sheer when used with a blush brush. It's a color that looks really natural & pretty on my skintone, and it's become on of my go-to blushes. I also like the finish- no sparkle here, which is nice for when I want to do something more subtle. I've never tried any Smashbox products before this one, and I don't think there's anything else from the brand I'm dying to try, but this blush has become Holy Grail for me. At $24 it was a splurge, but a worthy one!

Hooray for the bright pink blushes of the world!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting about the hidden mirror. I didn't realize there was a little compartment with a makeup sponge under my MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus 'til I was on my third repurchase. xD
Oh my gosh, I love your blog! It's so charming! And I love smashbox! Their liners are SO bright :D I was hoping we could follow and friend each other! Thanks!

Smashbox Radiance is one of my favourite blushes. It honestly looks great on any skin tone as long as you use a light hand :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty color. I have been really into hot pink blush lately. I have been using e.l.f studio blush in Fushia Fusion and I love it!
ReplyDeleteAww that looks pretty!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great blush! Its great when you find a blush that really works for you!
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering about this blush since TiffanyD started using it, and omg now I really want it D:
ReplyDeleteThat blush looks ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteI love Radiance! I don't want to say how long I've had mine...lets just say I ran to my make up case to see about the mirror because I never remembered seeing one, and mine does not have it! This blush really works with all skin types and is very workable despite the bold color it appears to be.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty shade I might have to have a lookie for this one :)
ReplyDeleteBright, but so pretty! I definitely would've been scared off by the brightness, so thanks for swatching!
