I Wonder: "What's your Blush for the Week?"

Blushes --- one thing I almost "never" bothered! I'll go for any blush I find because I know it'll be gone before midday! Why bother right?

But there's one blush that I've used consistently for the whole week! I can't believe I will have my own favorite blush! That makes you wonder right?

Scroll down and you'll know soon!

Natural Flush
Natural Glow

Not an obvious "blush"




My favorite blush for the moment!
Mineraux Beach Tan Bronzer!

Yes, it's a bronzer but I officially made it
My blush for the week!




When swatched,
it doesn't show up much




I like it that I can build the color by dusting it more on my cheeks, I like how subtle it looks and it lasts for half a day! I've tried using this with an angled brush, dome blush brush and even my fan brush, it all works pretty well! Just smile and dust lightly on the apples of your cheeks.....Inner glow.

What's your favorite blush/bronzer for the week?
The blush that you're reaching out for the past days!
Spill the beans baby!
I 'd like to know! :)

Keep smilin'
Stay Happy!

I have been using (trying to finish up) a clean & clear moisturizer which has some shimmer, so I am not wearing anything for blush...(I don't like having too many things going on my face)

But benefit thrrrob is the blush I always reach for if I want some color on my face...it's very hard to go wrong with the color.

Audrie said...

My blush/bronzer for the week is CARGO Medium bronzer! I'm almost hitting pan yayy :)

Jess said...

I almost use a different blush every day, cause I have quite many, and I don't want them just lay on my vanity. :p

But one blush I think I could use everyday would be the CLINIQUE fresh bloom allover colour ~ 02 posy.

jojoba said...

i normally use a different blush everyday. one week is too much for me. :P

hey that's a pretty colour on you!

Miss Yaya said...

my constant go to is MAC mineralize in dainty - i don't even know why i have other blushes lol

abby said...

ellana's mineral blush powder in happinness! but i am lemming on that fetish variant....will buy soon! ;)

Mary said...

I love blush! I think every girl should have some sort of blush on them!!..

my blush for the week is always MAC Nuance

fuzkittie said...

O it looks so good on you!! Very soft and pretty~ I agree with jojoba, I gotta use all different things everyday, hahaha.

LT said...

I love blushes and right now I find myself loving cream blushes. I am using Clinique's cream blush in Rosy. I also like NYX cream blush in Glow and Rimmel's cream blush in Iced Raspberry (I'm not sure of the exact name).

I also love MAC Dainty and Pleasantry.

aquaracer said...

i like this post. i love love blushes and i have way too many! haha. but for now, i've been reaching for my nars orgasm because it's been sitting and collecting dust so i thought it's time to give it some love. haha.

Ai said...

ooh i also love using bronzer as my blush lol. my fav of all time is MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Deep. RAAAWWRRR! LOL

Fifi said...

ooh I don't own many blushes in my stash 'cause for me, it's really hard to use them up.

my favorite ones include MAC Eversun and NYX Paradise!

donnarence said...

i don't use blushes everyday.. i would get rashes if i do.. but my fave for the week is dreamgirl 4u2 blush the hot pink one i think it is no. 4.. :D nice pink flush.. :D your blush look so natural.. :D

Shuu said...

I've been using Chanel duo tweed effect blush in tweed corail as my primary blush lately :) I love how versatile it can be and I can layer it until I get the desired finish.
Sometimes I use MAC Tenderling too, and it gives me very subtle glow and I still look as if I am not wearing any blush lol
Your blush looks so pretty! :D

Askmewhats said...

Citrine, wow Clean & Clear shimmer? is that a tinted moisturizer? that sounds really nice!Benefit, sad to say we don't have the brand down here, it's kinda good too! Coz lesser evil! hahaha

Audrie, wow...it must be really good if you're hitting the pan!

Jess,I usually use different blushes everyday too, only this whole week, I've been reaching out for this particular one! Thanks for sharing! I've read and heard about the goodness of Clinique's POSY!

Askmewhats said...

Jojoba, I know what you mean!!! thanks for appreciating the blush on me! I love how natural it looks!! Wearing it now actually! :D

Miss Yaya, mineralized products from MAC looks subtle, I like it too!

Abby, wow, I am a constant user of Ellana Foundation, haven't really thought about their blushes, thanks!

Askmewhats said...

Mary,you are right, a blush makes the whole outlook brighter and daintier! :)

Fuz,hahahha I know you do!!! I can imagine your blush collection!!!

LT, cream blush, hmm..I should try it too on daily basis! maybe next week! :D Oooohh I've been eyeing Pleasantry for the longest but when I've told myself I'll go for it...it's sold out! LOL

Askmewhats said...

Aquaracer.NARS Orgasm, I've passed the stage of reaching out for it..I think I've had that NARS Orgasm stage last month :D

Ai, me too, I find that bronzing powder works really well as blush on my skin tone, more natural looking! :)

Fifi, MAC eversun, is that a regular line?

Donnarence, oh yeah, if you have rashes on the cheeks, it is difficult to use blushes everyday!

Shu, what shades are they of? MAC Tenderling..I am trying to imagine the shade on top of my head :) Gotta google it!thanks!

I Am Me said...

right now my favorite blush is the TBS Cheek Bloom in Dune Pink!!! You looked great with that blush!

Dang said...

I don't use blush everyday, but when I do, I use Annu Sui cream blush in Dolly Red =) It's so cute it comes in a locket! You can even us eit as a bag accesory =)

PS: Nice natural look, Nikki =)

Jo said...

i use nars laguna and then revlon's matte blush in 'perfectly peach' :)

prettybeautiful said...

ooooops! i have not used any blusher at all this week! no makeup at all! *sigh* some sudden break outs broke my heart

Jenn said...

This blush looks really nice on you!! It made you look so glowy!! :D

Hmmm... i don't think i can stick to one blush for one whole week too!! hehehe!! :D

Kahani said...

I'm completely opposite from you dear. I choose my blush FIRST and coordinate everything else to go with it! =P

Today it's MAC's Gentle, tomorrow it may be Benefit's Coralista, or perhaps SN Stardust.... each blush colour holds a different mood for me!

Shopn'Chomp said...

i love using blush. current blush of the moment: shu uemura vicious apricot

nvr_dare_me said...

Hi Nikki! Nice shot in there. ^_^
I don't have a lot of makeup stuff but my favorite blush is MAC Emanuel Ungaro cream colour base- crushed bougainvillea and to add a nice pretty glow I use MAC mineralize skinfinish refined.

~tHiAmErE~ said...

not much of a blush user either..but in my case, im beginning to like Nichido Mineral Blush..

i just saw it when i was about to pay something & the lady behind me is holding that...i got intrigued & also bought it...

& im quite surprised that the color is great!

Kim said...

My-My said...

I'm still in that grab whatever is close to me phase. lol. but my favorite is Milani in Mai Tai. . . but I can't find it. hence the "grab whatever. . ." at this point.

birkinbagbeauty said...

Your blush/bronzer of the week looks a lot like my mineral fave blush/bronzer (always dependable) MeowCosmetics mineral bronzer sunsplash in Siamese medium. I love, love the subtile glow it gives me.

gio said...

That blush looks very pretty. I don't have a blush of the week, I use a different one every day.

Jamilla Camel said...

My Fave Blusher is Shu Uemura Glow On Blush in P Peach 47, recommended by Old Cow!

plue said...

i think i shall do one blush of the week too! :D

my skin been a little naughty lately like i told you, but once it gets better, i shall do this!

tee hee!

i like the blush on you, very natural!

Steph said...

oooh what a nice bronzer! anyways, ive been using MAC in eversun. gives a natural sun-kissed look :)

Gem said...

Nikki! Try Fashion 21's #1 blush-on. You'll like it for sure. Plus, it's not expensive at all =)

Crystal Gale said...

My "default" blush is Ellana Patience..it's also a bronzer..I always reach for this one if I don't know what shade of blush would match my eye look..this just gives me a natural flush :)

Askmewhats said...

I Am Me, ooh TBS Cheek Bloom, they look gorgeous!

Dang, awww Anna Sui makes gorgeous packaging, I could just stare at them! :) I don't even care about the quality lol thanks!

Jo, NARS laguna is quite famous aside from the Orgasm, it's more on a bronzer right?

prettybeautiful, hahah don't worry, your skin is thanking you for the break :)

Jenn, thank you!!! :) This is the first time I've used one blush in a week! :)

Kahani, wow..you are definitely the BLUSH PRINCESS! LOL

Shopn'Chomp, I don't own any Shu blush, can you believe that? LOL

nvr_dare_me, ooohhh Emmanuel Ungaro, we don't have that collection here, they didn't arrive :(

~tHiAmErE~, Nichido blush is wonderful! I love PEACH GLOW!!!!

Kim, kaw pa! hahahaha salawahan :P Joking aside, you look great whatever blush you use sweetie!

Hana aka acutelife, hahaha do test yours, if yours last for the whole day, I gotta buy what you're using! LOL

my_makeup_mania, Tony Moly! I didn't know they make blushes, I do know they make skin care and bb creams right?

Iyah, thank you!

Askmewhats said...

Shobe, thank you shobe!

Yumeko, I don't wear much blushes too! just recently and I am starting to purchase more to add up my collection :)

My-My, oohh Milani Mai Tai the dupe of Nars orgasm right?

birkinbagbeauty, wow...so i guess we're both the same, this type of shade makes us glow more! :)

Gio, I knew it! I knew you would say that! LOL

Jamilla Camel , wow! Better take a look at it if it's strongly recommended by you! :)

Plue, give it a try, but hey! Knowing you, you'll probably get bored! LOL

Steph, awww I guess with our weather, and our skin tone, bronzers really work well as blushes right?

Gem, ooohhh I have a feeling Fashion 21 is somewhat like that of Nichido! I love Nichido! I've seen their packaging almost the same as Fashion 21. But I will take a look at it :)

Crystal Gale, thanks for the additional info :)

teeyah. said...

Hello Nikki :) I agree, that blush is lovely! Definitely a way to perk up the Philippine weather, no? :)

My fave blush is NARS oasis. As in, till now. I don't think I'll ever switch. hehe.

Jo said...

yep nars laguna is a bronzer. i pretty much use it for most of my face haha and just dust some revlon matte blush over my cheeks :)

Gracie said...

Hahahahahahaha! sis, I do the same with my bronzer! I use them as blushers specially when I wear neutral make up. I can't wear bronzer all over my face as it makes me look like I've just been tangoed ;) My blusher of the week is MAC Dollymix

nvr_dare_me said...

I bought my MAC Emanuel Ungaro cream colour base at Mall of Asia here in the Philippines last month. If you buy worth PHP2,500 of their Mineralize limited edition (don't know exactly what it is called) you can get a (1) free gift from MAC Emanuel Ungaro collection and I chose the cream colour base. This is actually my first purchase of MAC and I love it ^_^

Askmewhats said...

teeyah, NARS oasis, what shade is that? more on brownish? Pinkish? Peachy??? I am seeing a lot of NARS as favorite here in the comment area :D thanks for sharing yours!

Jo, aww, thanks for sharing! I've seen other artists use it as contouring powder :)

Gracie, hahahah I know what you mean about wearing bronzers all over face, it's not for me too! :) Dollymix, a pinkish shade, yum!

nvr_dare_me, really? hmmm I have to take a look at it, thanks dear!!!

Jo said...

yeh i am THAT dark I can put it all over my face lols

Askmewhats said...

Jo, you don't look dark at all!!!!! Really!!!!

yummy411 said...

my blush of choice this moment is mac's flirt and tease. it used to be sincere or harmony... LOVE!

Askmewhats said...

Yummy411, thanks for sharing, I like it when people share their favorite stuffs, easier for me to trim down the choices when i go to the counters :D

M said...
