My Opinion :- The perfect time to take out your cream blushes is in the cold days that is if you have oily skin like me. I totally adore my cream blushes from Ellis Faas and Nyx but these days I am totally blown off by the newly launched Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Cream Blushes. The brand sent me two shades out of the three- Soft Peach and Pink Glow. But let me tell you in the very beginning that these cute little cream blushes will suit all skin types at all times. Read on to know why.....

                         Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Cream Blush tube comes boxed in a black cardboard box which carries all the necessary information like the ingredient list, product details, manufacturing and expiry dates respectively. The actual blush comes in a translucent plastic tube which corresponds to the shade of blush inside the tube, with black fonts and a black screw-on cap. This tube packaging is classy, hygienic as well as travel-friendly. The neck of the tube (nozzle) is blunt like medicated ointments and gets messy, so once in a while I need to clean off the nozzle and the cap with a tissue.

                          The texture of these cream blushes is light-weight and the consistency is soft buttery. These are not those heavy conventional cream blushes that I have always come across, but they are watery and more of a gel formula. The fragrance is very faint but if you sniff hard at it you might get a whiff of sweetness in it. The pigmentation varies across the shades- pigmentation of the shade Pink Glow is insanely intense and the shade Soft Peach is sheer but still buildable. The trick is to start with minimal product and add more to build the intensity as required. Ofcourse both these shades are buildable and they are super blendable. Blending these cream blushes is a breeze. 

SWATCH- PINK GLOW (LEFT) & SOFT PEACH (RIGHT)

                          I have oily skin and cream blushes needs to be topped with powder blushes or they give a greasy look to my skin but not these ones. These cream blushes adds a wonderful healthy glow to my cheeks which I love. Soft Peach has been my everyday blush for the last month or so as it is a very pale peach which would suit fair to medium skin tones, it would hardly show up on dusky skin tones. On the other hand Pink Glow is a gorgeous hot pink which I tend to use mostly in the evenings and on special occasions. This is one blush which you can unmistakably pair up with all your pink/nude lipsticks without fail. Pink Glow is a universally flattering shade and would suit most Indian skin tones.

SWATCH SPREAD- PINK GLOW (LEFT) & SOFT PEACH (RIGHT)

                                 The lasting power of both these cream blushes from Oriflame is incredible, where most cream blushes would disappear from my oily skin after a couple of hours, these ones stay intact for 7-8 hours. Just splashing water on my cheeks didn't remove the blush so I guess these are water-resistant and would not melt in the summers when we sweat. These blushes are absolutely non-sticky as well as non-greasy, according to me they are cheek stains. These doesn't break me out or cause me any kind of irritation. Removing them is easy, just wash off with your regular face wash and they are gone. The price tag of Rs 549 for 20 ml is justified because you literally need a teeny tiny amount for each use. As I have told you that I have been using it for the last month or so, but still I am not able to see much reduction in the quantity of blush in the tube. Big hits from Oriflame, I wish they launch more pretty shades!!!

SWATCH BLENDED- PINK GLOW (LEFT) & SOFT PEACH (RIGHT)

Pros:


* Intensely pigmented

* Creamy but Light-weight formula

* Buildable

* Easy to blend

* Non-sticky & Non-greasy

* Travel-friendly & hygienic packaging

* A tiny amount is needed for each use, so a little goes a long way

* Therefore the price is justified, also you can grab these cuties during sales

* Stays on for 7-8 hours and then fades off evenly

* Doesn't break me out or irritate my skin



Cons:


* Oriflame consultants are difficult to come by

                        I rate Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Cream Blush in Soft Peach & Pink Glow 4.5 out of 5. I love the gel formula of these cream blush and as I have said these are more of cheek stains. The two shades sent out to me are gorgeous and these are tempting me to get hold of the third shade Sheer Berry but I am resisting as I already have a bunch of cream blushes. Highly recommended for all blush fanatics, the pigmentation and lasting power is to die for. Hits again from Oriflame!!!
