Boots 17 Blush Powder

Blusher should be one of the staple items in every girls makeup bag. Especially in the winter when everyone has the tendency to look a bit pale and washed out. Personally, I am pale and fair skinned all the time, only getting a tiny bit of colour in the summer, so a bit of blusher always makes me look nice and healthy. The reason I like this range by Boots 17 so much is that it's small and compact, and actually has a colour that suits me! I want just a bit of a darker colour on my cheeks to make my cheek bones come out a bit (it makes you look thinner in the face girls!) and so I'm not really bothered by a lot of the pinks. Of course everyone is different. I'm ...  Read the complete review

As with many cheap makeup products, quality isnt the best, however, due to lack of money funds buying a new blusher was hard and I couldnt get a decent make. So I went into boots and bought the 17-blush powder in 'brickie'. It was around £4 so very cheap and I got exactly what I paid for it. The powder was very very loose and came on a little too thick.

This lead to a very thick application and looked awful! Maybe I should have boughta lighter shade so that it didnt look so bad, but ...  Read the complete review

I have naturally pale skin even though I'm a brunette and without a little help from make-up I can look washed out, tired and even ill. I find using a little blusher on my cheeks and across the rest of my face "wakes" me up and makes me look more human, even more so after a late night or heavy night out! Now I like to look good but not pay over the odds for it so I'm a big fan in general of Boots 17 range of make-up, a couple of months ago I decided to give their blush powder a try when I was struggling to find anything else that I could afford at the time and that wouldn't seem as it it would make me look like a clown or stripper. I paid ...  Read the complete review

I bought this blusher recently and have been really impressed with it, so thought I would share my experiences! ~**~Packaging~**~ The blusher comes in a round, charcoal grey coloured pot, and the blusher itself is in pressed powder form. The screw top lid has a clear window, so you can see the powder through it, and has ‘17’ and ‘blush powder’ written on it in silver letters. The pot itself is quite large and I think that it’s a good thing that the powder is pressed into a round shape, as I hate those annoying blushers that have a rectangular strip of blush, as they always make loads of mess when you sweep the brush across them. There is no brush ...  Read the complete review
