Lakme Earth Rose Trio Blush - Review
What it claims: A palette of complementing earthy shades that are super easy to apply and perfectly buildable. The silky smooth highly pigmented formula allows for effortless, uniform application blending in easily for a gorgeous glow. The three shades complement each other, to create endless options for defining, highlighting and accentuating features.
How to use: Use the lighter shades of Rose and Peach to highlight the apples of your cheek.Then use the brown shade in the hollow of your cheekbone to create the contours.
Price: Rs. 600/- (This is Limited Edition)
Pros:
1. The colors are oh-so-pretty & just perfect for most Indian skin tones. The lighter brown-peach has a touch of shimmer to it, while the rose & brown are matt. The trio works perfectly, whether used in the manner given above, all 3 blended together or else even each color separately. I like using the rose & peach mixed together, it looks like a very pretty summer flush.
3. It looks very pretty - the design, you almost don't want to use it for fear of spoiling the design.
Cons:
1. It doesn't last at all on top of a cream/liquid foundation. Used on top of my Ponds Tinted Moisturiser, it didn't last even 2 hours. The foundation just absorbed the blush. It lasts longer if I apply this over a layer of loose powder or else use a liquid/cream blush & then layer this on top.

Overall: I really like this blush. The quality is superb, intense payoff & the color is just amazing. Almost all bloggers are raving about this beauty - & the praise is well deserved.
Have you tried this LE blush?
u know wat Ponds TM actually hates blushes, when i used my Maybelline blush on top of it, it dint last for 30 mins, and when i used the same blush on top of bourjois, it lasted for four hours...

ReplyDelete@Retnu: I generally use cream blushes so they seem to stay on fine on Ponds TM, but powder blushes are a big problem! I agree, Ponds TM does seem to hate powder blushes :)
ReplyDelete@Anamika: I thght I was the only one having trouble with Ponds TM & powder blushes not getting along! :) I hope u liked the review, the blush looked real nice on you btw :)
@Beautydiva: i hope u also end up liking the prdts I tempt u to splurge on :P
@Sara: Ohh, too bad lakme doesn't even sell online. But i am sure you are not missing out on a lot :)
@Rakshanda: Thanks! Almost all other bloggers have done hand & face swatches for this. I am just being a lil lazy & greedy here, but I won't being doing swatches, as this is LE & I love it too much to even waste a tiny bit on swatches. Sorry! :(
@Amy: I hope u like it & buy it before it runs outta stock
@Bhumika: Isn't it just so pretty to look at?? I love it. It'll work great, just don't apply it directly on a cream/liquid foundation.

ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely, no? :). T powder blushes stay well when you have powder underneath, so yeah definitely use powder before this
ReplyDelete♥xx♥
@Poohkie: i hope you are liking it! :)
ReplyDelete@CZ: It is so pretty, I get conflicted.. I wanna use it, but I don't wanna spoil the design. Yes, it works well with powder like you suggested :)
@tanveer, i know what u mean about lasting power...a few hours and its off ! but i dont use powder either so thas probably it !!! It was also the most recommended blush in the blush guide ! Adding this to it too!
