Peony Blush by Burberry

For Christmas, my brother-in-law got me a gift card to Saks Fifth Avenue. Yes, I'm lucky like that :) Though the amount I received was quite a lot, it wasn't quite a lot in Saks-standards, unfortunately... like, to buy clothes and such. So in choosing between buying maybe ONE item, I opted to use my gift card to get what I love the most. BEAUTY PRODUCTS! So in a recent trip to Saks, I picked up a couple of things. Of them was this Peony Blush no.4 by Burberry.

I truly think Burberry has one of the best packaging and quality in beauty products. I think it surpasses a lot of high-end brands and every time I pick them up and try them on, I am constantly surprised and pleased by their luxurious branding and quality. To me, Burberry makeup is not just a hype. It's really that good.

While my sister was having a makeover at the counter, I was becoming very fond of a particular blush. It looked so lovely and natural on my sister's cheeks. It's this Peony blush that is a light but not pale pinky color. I recently wrote a blog post about the only pink blush I own, from Nyx. Although that's good and all, sometimes, you get what you pay for. This shade of pink by Burberry is absolutely glowing and so very natural. I use the brush it comes with and when you dap it on your cheeks, you get just the right amount and the color is the exact effect of a face freshly flushed by a Spring's breeze. Poetic, eh? :)

Swatching on my wrist. Perhaps it looks too subtle but that's just one sweep across! Imagine how beautiful that'll look on the cheeks :)

That's how natural the color is. It's like a natural glow or a flush. I say this about a lot of blushes I know, but I think this is the best of them all. It seriously puts on a PERFECT amount on your cheeks. Some blushes you need to dap a lot, others, you've got to be careful. This, it's so subtle and yet so visible that it brings an impact to your look.

I haven't tried any other color but this pink I think, would suit any skin tone! It's not pale pink, but rather a soft pink and so it almost adapt to any skin tone. It wears on the whole day.

Also, it smells so beautiful! All of their beauty products seem to have this fragrance embedded in them, and it smells gorgeous. The packaging... need I say? It's magnetic and heavy, making it all worth the money that you pay for. It is rather pricey, because I mean, it's Burberry. But this ain't no hype! They really ARE worth it :)
