I finally got off my keister, and swatched all my Laduree Pressed Cheek Color blushes from the brand's permanent range (swatches of all my limited edition Laduree blushes coming in the near future). I've also included the 3 discontinued blushers because, frankly, they're so darn beautiful, it would be a shame not to show them to the world.
It's been excessively cloudy for the last three weeks. So when the sun finally made a brief cameo, it was a race against the clouds. Unfortunately, by the time I got to the last three swatches, all decent light was gone. It's supposedly going to be sunny this weekend. Ergo, I'll most likely re-swatch them

My favorite products from Les Merveilleuses Laduree Beaute are the Pressed Cheek Color blushers (surprising, I know right!). These beautiful, cameo embossed blushes come in 20 shades, and all of them have a matte finish. The texture is smooth, soft, and slightly dry yet buttery if that makes sense. All of the Pressed Cheek Colors are pigmented; therefore, you can apply a soft wash of color, or layer for more intensity. On my normal/dry skin, these blushers never go on patchy, look chalky, and last for an average of 5-6 hours.
One thing I must get off my chest: Laduree, I'm still sore at you for discontinuing the divinely rich shades of 08, 12, and 15, and replacing them with the ever-so-common, pastel 21, 22, and 23. There, I said it.
Liz, you have the most amazing EPIC EPIC collection of these blushes. I really love this beautiful formula, too and have a small handful. 6 is my favorite. I actually get real life complements when I wear this (and that NEVER happens usually). The only quibble I have is the super strong floral scent. Aside from that, these are so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI just realized, I replied on the 18th, but not on your comment. So, I'm not sure if you noticed :(
DeleteThe weather has been crap recently, but stay tuned for swatches of my limited edition Laduree blushers ;)
Sissy, you are AMAZING, and I can't believe you don't get complimented on a daily.
I had a mental note to included the strong, "aged" floral scent of these blushers, but in my haste to get this post up, I totally forgot. Thanks for reminding me my dear.
