In the UK this collection is exclusive to Boots at the moment and I understand it will have a limited release in other countries.
The Blush Volupte Rose Gold in shade Loulou (£32) is certainly eye catching with its bright burst of colour. The powder is very finely milled and non powdery. It feels very smooth but is not creamy/soft.
The blush contains a pigmented cool toned matte cerise/fuchsia and in the centre a slightly sparkly silver-pink.
I love the shade, however feel that the centre colour gets lost and I can't tell the difference when I combine the shades or not.
Swatched below both shades and then combined.
Ingredients:
I initially was going to pick up the both the primer and Touche Eclat but on swatching there was visible gold sparkles in both so I just got a sample of the primer.
The Teint Touche Eclat Rose Gold Primer is similar in concept to the Armani Fluid sheers (the full size is £30.50, 30 ml and comes with a pump dispenser). It can be used under foundation to give the complexion a natural glow and on top of to use as more of a highlight.
It has a lovely silky texture and is not sticky. The effect is very pretty, it gives that candle light glow with a peachy/gold tone with a very long lasting wear.
Having played with my sample, as much as I love the application/wear and effect, I do not like the visible golden sparkle I can see on my skin close up.
I think the concise collection is very striking and recommend checking it out if you can.
I bought this from Boots.
Oh that blush!!! I'm not even that much into blushes but this one is beautiful! Love the Mondrian lining and the name too! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is rather eye catching, I have to apply it with a light hand though ;) I wonder if they are going to bring out all new blushes in the same design since it fits in with their new eye palettes.
DeleteThanks for the retweet btw xx
My pleasure! I guess they will bring that design if they want cohesion in the way their regular collection looks.
DeleteWhat a beautiful haul Clare, the blush is gorgeous but the primer captures my heart. I must check this collection out if I have a chance.
ReplyDeleteI do love the glow/sheen the primer gives the skin, if it wasn't for the gold sparkle it would be in my grubby little hands ;)
DeleteThe blush looks so lovely! not sure about the gold sparkle in the primer, but it looks very interesting! great haul Clare!
ReplyDeleteI'm really pleased with the blush, even though its brighter than I would normally go for, its extremely long lasting as well, might go so far as to say the longest lasting blusher I've tried.
Deletethese both look like they would look really radiant on the cheeks!!! I hope they bring this collection in the US soon!

I'm sure they have the Touche Eclat Rose Gold Highlighter on Sephora so hopefully the collection will be with you soon :)
