La Femme Blushes: Cinnabar & Magenta




(left)Cinnabar (right)Magenta

Both blushes are of course highly pigmented, Cinnabar is a burnt orange, terracotta color with a slight sheen in between matte and frost. Then Magenta is a deep matte magenta, which looks beautiful on brown skin. I should know because I tried it on myself. Use a light hand ladies and gems when applying this color because a little goes a long way and you don't want to look clownish, no shade. Cinnabar for me is a nice neutral blush, it leaves a very pretty natural glow to my skin. Love's it! These blushes were only $3.00 each on makeupmania.com, the shipping was super fast this time. Only taking like 4 days or so. The customer service is great. I know because I have spoke with them before. This is not my first review on these blushes and it would be the last, trust.

Blush Battle! NYX Cocoa Blush vs. La Femme Sienna Blush



(Left) NYX Cocoa Blush (Right) La Femme Sienna Blush


*Review*
NYX Cocoa Blush looks like La Femme Sienna Blush but when swatches they are totally different. Sienna is a lot more pigmented and deeper. While Cocoa is lighter and not as pigmented but builable. Both are deep matte bronze colors. You get more product with the NYX Blush 0.18oz, but because if the light pigmentation you will end up using 2x the product to get the color results wanted. Sienna offers 0.14oz of product but is so pigmented you need very little. The upside to NYX is very little ingredients are used in this blush and it is hypoallergenic and cruelty free. Where in La Femme there is a whole lot of ingredients and it is not known whether or not they are hypoallergenic or tested on animals. The price for La Femme Blushes are $3.00 and NYX is $6.00. Just three dollars difference. Both blushes have their benefits and drawbacks. For a more bold look I would go with Sienna and a more natural bronze cheek I would go with the Cocoa. Both can be used as contours depending on your skin tone. Both are worth having in your collection for one reason or another.

La Femme Blushes: Mandarin Red, Orange, Framboesia










These super pigmented, non chalky blushes are only $3.00 each on Makeupmania.com, get it them now because they sell out fast, Orange is a perfect blush for tan to dark skin tones, Framboesia is great for all skin tones, and Mandarin Red which looks to me like a dupe for Nars Orgasm (in my personal opinion) is great for fair to medium skin tones. A little goes a long way, so use a light hand when applying these blushes. Orange looks like NYX Cinnamon blush, only less powdery and more pigmented and waaay cheaper!. When ordering from these site make sure you allow 2-3weeks for shipping, some blushes may be on back-order and they are not going to let you know this. I had to call them after two weeks to find out why my order was in Awaiting Fulfillment status. Customer service was nice about it, and for the high end quality of these blushes it was worth the weight. These have been compared to M.A.C blushes, but to me there is no comparison.

Orange: Concentrated orange matte
Mandarin Red: Frosty coral pink
Framboesia: A bright fuchsia pink with silver shimmer
