Yesterday LoveforLacquer (check out her site as well!) asked me if I had seen the new Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes yet, and I hadn’t. They sounded interesting and I was intrigued, so on the way to work this morning I left a little earlier than usual so I could stop by Walgreens and check out some of their items (and see if they had any sales going on!).
I scoured the Maybelline section and couldn’t find them – I was a little disappointed but when I turned around Revlon’s Lip Butters were sitting there so I was quickly consoled. Next to the Lip Butters was a display containing Essies Shine of the Times also and I will admit I forgot my original reason for going to Walgreens.
I left the cosmetic section to grab a Starbucks Frap drink on the other side of the store when I saw the display. Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush! They had a lot of colors available so I took my time looking over them when I spotted the “Buy One Get One 50% off” tag. Score.
Pink Plum and Rose Petal
I decided on #15 Rose Petal and #40 Pink Plum. Both colors are fairly sheer (which is perfect for me!) but it is buildable and the texture reminds me of a moist latex cosmetic sponge, its very odd. Dream Bouncy Blush goes on feeling powdery and blends better than most cream blushes I have used and feels silky gliding on (I used my fingers to apply)
Rose Petal appears to be a pale pinky peach on my skin. There is the faintest appearance of shimmer in it which I didn’t realize until I swatched it. The color appears on my skin just as it does in the pot.
Pink Plum is a nice flush of pink. It isn’t bright, but it certainly isn’t soft. Again, there is the faintest amount of shimmer in this one as well. This goes on my skin a little darker than the color in the pot – but of the two, this one is my favorite!
