Top 10 Favorite Blushers

Blogging on a Saturday night before I head to downtown Vancouver to celebrate the one year anniversary of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. I bet it's going to be fun because there will be concerts, food, games, and the best part- Canadian olympians will be there as well(some). I'm really excited, so I better finish blogging and go dress up.

So..when it comes to blushes, I usually stick to neutral shades- pinks, peaches, and shades in between, but recently I've been exploring with some bright shades like NARS Taj Mahal(burnt orange), and NARS Exhibit A (bright red orange). I borrowed my friend's NARS blushes a week ago to give them a try because she doesn't really use them at all, so might as well borrow them right?I just know that I will purchase NARS Taj Mahal and Exhibit A sooner or later because everytime I go to Sephora, I swatch them -> look at the pretty swatches on my hand ->drool oven them -> tell myself " NO KIM you have way too many blushes" -> look at the swatch again -> *deep SIGH* -> walk away. Can someone please tell me that I NEED those blushes in my life?

okay, enough blabbering..

Here are MY TOP 10 BLUSHERS:

> Petticoat
> Prism
> Dame(pro pan in the blush palette)

> Pink Swoon (pro pan in the blush palette)

    @Mara- It is really hard to look for it now. Im scared to use Stereo Rose cuz I know it is hard to look for it :(

    @Lisa- Thanks. No highlights for that look. I think Stereo Rose gives the cheeks that natural glowy look x

    @Yvonne- Thanks you think so? hmm I should try more orange blushes :)

    @ nicoletta- There are so many nice ones to choose from. I think NARS will be my fave brand when it comes to blushes. They might not as many colors as MAC, but I love their blushes a lot.

    How many great blushes you have! I don't have any of them, but I can imagine buying quite a few of them now that I've seen how great the look.

    I just bought Benefit Coralista and I think it's fabulous! A bit more sheer than I thought, but it gives such a healthy Rio-look. Just as it says it does. Love it! I also love MAC Ladyblush. Have you tried any of these?

    @Catharina- Thanks for sharing, but honestly I don't own any of them. I really want to purchase Coralista. I heard so many good reviews about it, but Im still thinkng whether to purchase bella bamba, Sugarbom or Coralista. hmmmm
