Name: Bronzing Blush in Peach
Brand: Michael Todd
Size: 14g
Price: $20.00/£11.99

From Michael’s Todd website:
Our Bronzing Blush comes in three perfect shades to help you achieve a healthy and bronzed summer glow in any season!

What I liked:
- pigmented
- shimmery finish
- gives skin a nice glow
- longlasting, no need to touch-up during the day
- comes with a big mirror
- a lid protects the blush so the mirror remains clean

What I didn’t like:
- because it is pigmented you have to be careful not to apply too much
- it’s on the pricey side

Summer may sadly be over, but thanks to cosmetics, we can still keep that beautiful summer glow all year long. Lately to achieve that effect I like to use Michael Todd Bronzing Blush in Peach. It is packaged in a deep purple, blueish square box with a big mirror inside which is very useful. And it doesn’t get dirty because the blush inside is protected by a plastic lid. Very handy!


(shades swatches separately)

The bronzing blush in Peach includes four different stripes of color, all of which are very shimmery: pale peach, soft bronze, peachy pink and coral. When swirled together, you get a shimmery peachy pink shade that gives both a hint of color and a beautiful glow to your cheeks. The shimmer is not over-the-top, although I don’t really feel the need to use an highlighter when I apply this.

The blush is very pigmented so you have to be careful not to apply too much to avoid the clown effect, especially if you have pale skin like me. To apply this, I like to use a big fluffy blush, like E.L.F. Studio Complexion Brush, that doesn’t pick up too much product and gives a natural effect. The texture is quite soft to the touch, but not silky soft which I think is due to the shimmers. It’s not gritty either though.

I was also very impressed by the staying power. I’d put it on in the morning and it stays in place until I get back home in the evening. Then it starts to fade a bit but unless you’re going out at night you don’t have to retouch it. And did I mention that the pan is huge? Although the price’s not that cheap, the blush will last you for ages.

Summary
Michael Todd Bronzing Blush in Peach is a shimmery peachy pink blush that provides a touch of color and a beautiful healthy glow to cheeks. It is pigmented (so be careful with application!), lasts all day and the pan is huge! It is pricey though.

Rating: 4/5

Questo blush era finito nel carrello di Love Makeup, ma poi ho desistito, avevo comprato già tante cose. Però sai alla fine sono contenta, me lo aspettavo leggermente diverso, meno aranciato per intenderci.
Bello comunque è bello e Michael Todd mi attira troppo, ho diversi prodotti nella wishlist.

Marguerite, pensa che io appena l’ho ricevuto temevo fosse troppo aranciato! Io poi ho la pelle molto chiara quindi molti blush e bronzer sono troppo scuri per me. Ma questo mi è piaciuto, è un rosa pesca naturale, se non si esagera con l’applicazione.

Cmq sono contenta che non hai rimpianto il non acquisto. Michael Todd fa tanti bei prodotti che non è facile scegliere! Non vedo l’ora di sapere che cosa ne pensi quando li avrai provati.

Wow, this blush looks really lovely. It looks similar to the ombre blush MAC sold out a couple of LEs ago. I’m glad the staying power is nice, too.

Dao it is very pretty and longlasting. I have to admit though that I don’t remember that MAC blush, they come out with so many LEs it’s hard to keep track lol. But it’s good to know Michael Todd has a permanent dupe for it.
