I purchased these blushes at Priceline when they had a buy one get one free. I've been eyeing these for quite a while now and was so glad when this deal on on offer. I acquired 4 for the price of 2 (Aud $40). The Bourjois blushes come in a round compact sized pot with a good quality mirror on the lid and a curved brush that sits within.

I am loving my picks as the shades and finishes are very flattering against my skintone. These all have either a sheen/shimmer/glitter finish to them and provide a radiance/glow to the cheeks. The shimmers are noticeable at close range however they don't look over done. They are very easily blendable and have good pigmentation that can be sheered out. I like all of these shades but in particular my favoourites are Rose D'or #34 and Rose Coup De Foudre #16.

The down side would be that I find these blushes overall have a dry formula and with constant use, these blushes form a surface where the product gets harder to collect onto my blush brush. When this happens, I get a tissue to wipe off the layer, and continue using it a dense domed shape brush collecting the product in an upright dabbing motion. Also, the brush that comes with these blushes feel quite course hence I don't ever use them.

What are your thoughts on these blushes?
