NVEY ECO Organic Powder Blush

NVEY ECO does the seemingly impossible by combing organic ingredients into a beautiful, fun cosmetic line. Aside from featuring skin-loving ingredients, the product performs as well as professional lines and the collection itself is solid. I was just in a natural grocery store today checking out their cosmetic collections which appeared to me to be cheap looking makeup in cheap looking packaging for a whole lotta cash. Touting yourself ‘natural’ or ‘good for skin’ doesn’t mean we’ll overspend on something that doesn’t work and looks so thrown together we’re not even excited to bring it home.

Sleek, mirrored compacts house NVEY ECO’s Organic Powder Blushes made with coconut and jojoba oils along with vitamin e and corn silk for easy application and blending. You’ll find one or several of their 8 shades perfect for everyday wear. Today I’m wearing 954 Apricot, a matte coral that brings a nice glow to my cheeks.

Eve Pearl Blush Trio Sweet Cheeks

I might be a little bit obsessed, in part with Eve Pearl’s stellar line of cosmetics, and maybe just a little bit with Eve herself. During her impressive career, she’s won 5 Emmys, worked with some of the most respected names in Hollywood, and is currently the personal makeup artist to Meredith Vieira on the Today Show where she often appears to present the latest in beauty. But above all else, she’s incredibly nice.

She responded to me personally instead of customer service and was extremely excited to reveal her fool proof hi-tech way of making sure women don’t waste time and money finding shades of makeup to best suit their coloring. Skype.

But that’s for another time.

Today, we’re talking cheeks. Eve’s Blush Trio Sweet Cheeks to be exact. 3 compacts available for light, medium, or deep skin tones with the only 3 shades you need- pinky, peachy, and a bronzer. Its consistency was the first thing that struck me as I watched the pressed color turn into a fine dust on my brush that spread easily over my cheeks blending right in leaving a healthy glow. My crowded ‘blush area’ in my case was immediately cleaned out making room for not just another beauty product, but a real solution to something I didn’t know was missing. A lasting glow that makes an instant difference.

I’m testing a few other products from her line now, so reviews are on their way. Maybe I’ll even get to chat with Eve herself about their new groundbreaking method to reach all women to make their beauty routine a lot less confusing.

Highlighting the skin gives a glowing, sexy look that works for all ages and skin types. It’s not a matter of if this powder is right for you, simply where you’ll find it works best on your face and body.

Makeup changing color throughout the day is a big problem for women. How many times have you glanced in the mirror mid-day to discover the flattering shades you applied at home in the morning aren’t even close to being the same color anymore.

This happens a lot with blush when the oils of your face mix with the color and changes the appearance it on the skin. You can alleviate the problem by using Lancome’s Blush Subtil Oil-Free Powder Blush. Oily and combination skins will love it’s oil absorbing power, but women with dry skin who experience color changes with makeup will also appreciate its stay-true technology.

Benefit CORALista

Some lines have seemingly endless options when it comes to cheek colors, making sure to have all bases covered with every color possible. Benefit, however, just added a 6th to its collection of powdered cheek colors so you know it has to be good.

This gorgeously unique shade that could equally be referred to as pinky or corraly, is surprisingly delicate with just a hint of gleam. Since the color isn’t matte, it’s quite wearable for most skin tones, and really easy to blend, just perfect for spring.

I’ve used it for the last few days and I love the light texture of the powder as much as I enjoy the instant pick me up it gives my face. If you’re over streaky blush that doesn’t stay put and never blends, try CORALista or any of the the cheek shades Benefit has perfected.
