SOPHIE’S DISH’S TOP 10 Blushes 2013 #SOPHIESDISH #MAKEUP #Blush #Blusher #BEAUTY

What can I say? I love blush. I may be a bit of a blush fiend.
My complexion is light-medium with yellow undertones so I tend to love everything peachy pink and coral. However with the being said, these products also come in a variety of different colors so everyone should be able to find a color that should suit you from the line.

This is a recap from my collection, what I loved in 2013 in terms of blush / blushers.

  • Sonia Kashuk (03 sunset) soft pinky peach with fine golden shimmer
  • NYX Mosaic powder (10 – love) coral with golden shimmer
  • Besame Crimson Rouge (travel size) rosy red cream stain
  • Physician Formula Happy Booster blush (warm) pink, satin
  • Palladio Baked blush (blushin’) intense pink-gold with shimmer / glowy
  • F21 love & beauty limited edition floral blush – bold pink
  • Nars blush (Orgasm) faint pink-gold with shimmer (glow)
  • Inglot AMC cream blush (80) blue toned hot pink
  • Milani Baked blush(05 luminoso) orange tangerine with satin finish
  • Models Preferred blush blood orange with fine golden shimmer

The list is not in any particular order in regards to which I like more but should be seen as a collection.

Swatches #2 from Second 5 blushes in same order

Sonia Kashuk (03 sunset) $10 – Target
This blush is a soft pinky peach with fine golden shimmer. It has been repackaged in the Target line so the packaging is now black instead of white.

NYX mosaic powder (10 – love) $7 – NYX, Ulta
I swirl all these colors together for a gorgeous coral shade. This one is a keeper!

Besame Crimson Rouge (travel size) $22 for full size, I received this in a beauty army box
This little rouge packs a big punch in color, intensity and long-lasting. It is easy to blend and use the cream formulation.

Physician Formula Happy Booster blush (WARM) $10 - CVS
For a long time I have been a fan of the blush in Rose but this year it’s all about this color in Warm. It’s a great coral shade and so cute to boot!

Palladio Baked blush (blushin’) $8 – ULTA
I always find myself sticking this back into my makeup. It’s a great color, intense pink with high golden shimmer. If you like the new MAC Fantasy of Flowers blush collection then you got to pick this one up for a steal.

F21 love & beauty limited edition floral blush $5 – Forever 21
This blush is so pretty both in color and in design. It initally does have a golden bow overspray on top. However, it’s no longer sold at F21 but they do re-promote items every once in awhile so keep your eyes open for it.

Nars Blush in Orgasm $30 – Sephora
This is a cult favorite and for good reason! It is beautiful peachy pink with golden shimmer. I love it but there is a downside. It appears overtime the pigment can get very hard and rough. I don’t know if it’s just my blush but that is something to note with a higher end blush. Use it fast!

Inglot AMC cream blush #80 – $12
Ok… this blush does look a bit grubby but I assure you it is because it’s so good. This cream blush gives a glow from within. It’s very easy to use, apply and smooth out. It’s a bit grubby because I just like to apply it with my fingers.


Milani Baked blush(05 luminoso) $8, CVSMilani makes some beautiful baked blushes and none is so gorgeous as Luminoso. It is a great peachy blush with no glitter or shimmer. The color is pigmented and so smooth. It is just something you need to pick up if you don’t have it.

Models Preferred blush $10 – I purchased this in drugstore in Australia
This blush is a pigmented and used gently it is great dupe for Nars Orgasm with the peachy pink and golden sheen. It’s so perfect blush color and great value. It’s just a bit harder to come by as are most good things things in life but it’s worth picking up if you can.


Honorable Mention : ELF Blush in Blushin’ Rose $3 – Online
