Chambor Single Blush Star Candy Review

Hello beautiful Ladies, 

Today’s review is one of my favourite blushes, Chambor Single Blush, shade no. 57, Star Candy. It was one of my hit in the dark buys when I bought it online. The words Star Candy were of some solace that its going to be a pink blush. So basically this one was a blind buy for me. The moment the package arrived, I tore the protective bubble wrap apart, took a deep breath and opened the blush case. And voila, here it is.  

The Packaging

The Blush (with Mirror and brush)

It might look a bit peachy brown to you, but my camera was not in good mood today. So, let’s just come back to the review. 

What Chambor claims 

• Ultra-fine and simple to apply, the basic blush which is formulated to glide weightlessly onto the skin to provide sheer, sun-kissed color.
• Builds effortlessly and spreads evenly.
• Convenient to carry & used for re-touch. 
• Lasts for long period of time.
• Water resistant – Long Lasting. Comes in Powder Form, Can be converted to Cream form by mixing it with Foundation or Moisturizer.
• Excellent blending & adherence capability.
• Non Comodogenic.
• No animal ingredients.

How to apply 

• Wear blush/bronzer alone or over foundation or powder.
• Using brush applicator, start at the apples of your cheeks and sweep upward on your cheekbone towards your hairline.

My Experience with the Chambor Blush 

The blush looks like a combination of pink and brown with specks of gold embossed in the blush itself. The result of these golden specks is that when you swipe your brush over it, the golden specks are mixed along with the blush. 

The blush itself has a very good colour and the golden specks give a nice warm glow to the skin. It looks like a tiny hint of golden highlighter is dusted alongwith the blush. I just swipe my brush, no wait, I just touch my brush to this blush to get the colour and apply. The pigmentation of the blush is really good and just a simple touch of my Sigma F 80 (yes, I have only that brush) is enough to apply on one cheek. 

A closer look.

Swatched only once

Let me just come to the best things about this Blush

• Price - I think it’s a steal for Rs. 500. You get 6 gms of product which will last a long time.
• Packaging - The case snaps shut with a click and you can carry it easily in your bag. It won’t open. But the brush is almost useless, so you will need to carry a blush brush for this.
• It used this for first time in winters after using a moisturizer and it stayed easily for 5-6 hours.
• No need to use a highlighter with this blush.
• Can be easily by beginners (that would be me) without going OTT.
• It can be easily built up. A gentle swipe for the warm glow to 2-3 swipes for the disco ball look.
• It can be easily applied with a blush brush or fingers too. I use Sigma F 80 for this.
• Comes with an in-built mirror which is great for touch ups. 
• Ladies who are fair, medium and dusky, Yes ! Everyone can use it. It will give a flush of colour to fair skinned girls and warm glow to medium and dusky girls.

I can’t think of any bad thing about this Blush.

The Balm Frat Boy Shadow/Blush

In simple words, The Balm’s Frat Boy, is matte pretty pink powder, which can be used as a blush and an eye shadow. The Frat Boy is a perfect pinkish apricot shade for that natural flush on cheeks. When you can't keep the boys away, blame it on the blush.

A warm peachy pinky blush that is similar in tone to Mac Melba, (that’s what a lot other bloggers say, not me) very well pigmented.

Price - $ 21

Quantity - 8.5 grams 

 

The Frat Boy comes in cardboard packaging with an inbuilt mirror. The packaging is really cute, though personally I prefer my makeup packaging to be black and a little blingy. That gives a really classy look.

So, when I opened the pan for the first time, It was love at first sight. The colour is absolutely gorgeous. The Blush is matte without any shimmer or sheen. The shade will work best for Light to Medium skin tones, and a light peachy glowy blush for dusky beauties. (Update - I made my friend, who has a dusky skin tone try it. She loved it.)

A lovely colour for both summers and winters. it works even on my pale complexion. I am fair skinned with warm undertones and my complexion leans towards pale. I have to choose my blushes very carefully, because very few shades work for me. Most of the times, even if a blush looks great on me indoors, it appears too stark in the sunlight, appearing as if I went overboard. But not this one, it looks perfect, both indoors and outdoors. It is very well pigmented and i just have to gently touch my brush on the pan and apply. Any more, and it will give clown cheeks. It stays for a good 5-6 hours on my dry skin, even when I apply this after a heavy moisturiser.

The only downside is that it can purchased online at Sephora or the Balm. 

Deborah Milano Hi-Tech Blush Rosa Pesca

Hey Girls,

A review about one of my favourite blushes. Hope you will like it too.

Since, I am still quite new when it comes to using blushes and always fear that I might overdo it and end up looking like a clown. Darker shades of pinks are strictly a no-no for me and browns make me look ill and bruised. So, when I read a whole bunch of reviews about this blush, I could not wait to try this beauty. Deborah Milano Rosa Peca, shade 46 is a beautiful peachy shade, which gives a hint of colour alongwith a nice subtle shimmer. It looks very natural and one can never go over the top with this shade. A perfect shade for day wear and also night wear. 

What the company claims about the blush

Brushes on smoothly and stays on – no need to touch up. Stays color true all day for a radiantly even and natural look. Hypoallergenic. Formulated to minimize the risk of allergies.

Price Rs. 575 

My Experience with Deborah Milano Rosa Peca Blush

Packaging - The blush comes in a round black packaging with a transparent flip cap over it. The packaging has a small brush but no mirror. The brush is not really useful and I prefer big fluffy and dense brushes for my blushes. 

The Good about Deborah Milano Rosa Peca Blush

• The shade is absolutely gorgeous. No doubt it will work for fair skin tones as well as dark skinned girls too. It will show nicely on fair skin tones and give a glowy and dewy appearance on dark skinned beauties.
• Very smooth texture and very pigmented.
• Hypoallergenic, light weight and blends easily
• Stays on my dry skin for about 3-4 hours. I use a thick moisturizer and use it. It stays for about 3-4 hours and then also leaves a faint glow. 

The Not so Good about Deborah Milano Rosa Peca Blush

• The brush included in the blush case is pretty useless.
• No mirror included in blush case.
• Ingredients and weight not mentioned. I guess the weight is only about 3.5 to 4 grams.
• A little expensive. Blushes of some other well known brands are less expensive.

Ignoring the 'not so good' about this blush, i will buy it again, if I ever run out of it. It's definitely a 'My cheeks but better' shade for me. (sorry, for the silly phrase, could'nt help it.)
