BUXOM Wanderlust Primer-Infused Blush ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a powder blush is supposed to have “12-hour wear” thanks to the “primer-infused” formulation that is supposed to “seamlessly blend” with a “luminous finish.” It is scented with a “subtle, beachy scent” (it smells a bit like coconut and suntan lotion… aptly described a”beach,” but wasn’t a scent I detected much on, though my sense of smell has been dulled down lately). Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation–and some where intensely pigmented to the point where the warning “use with a light hand” comes into play–with soft, finely-milled consistencies that were a little dusty in the pan.
The finish varied from satin to more pearlescent, and one shade has larger sparkles to it, so you’ll want to pay attention to the finish of a particular shade if you are particular about the level of shine/shimmer in your cheek colors. I noticed that most of the shades applied darker and richer on my skin, both my forearm as well as my cheeks, than they appeared in the pot. The blushes blended out well and lasted between nine and 11 hours on me–definitely a bit longer wearing than average. They looked smoother and were more forgiving of skin texture when worn on bare skin than the average powder blush, too.

Plum Baby Revlon Plum Baby Super Lustrous Lipstick ($8.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and cooler, ultra-fine pearl that gave it a luminous sheen. It had buildable coverage from medium to semi-opaque in two layers, while the texture was lightweight, emollient and almost balm-like, but thin and not overly slippery, so it didn’t slide around while worn. It lasted well for four hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Blurry Blue (324) Chanel Blurry Blue (324) Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow ($62.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a new, permanent (or so it seems, as it is not listed as limited edition on the brand’s website) featuring a smokier set of shades–two taupes, a deep (but faded) blue, and mid-depth gray. For me, I could see this as an anchor palette–one that will complement a lot of other palettes (particularly your lighter or more shimmery palettes)–but runs together a lot on its own. The pigmentation, blendability, and ease of use was good across the board, though. 1 0 Blurry Blue (324) Blurry Blue (324) A Permanent Where to Buy Affiliate Links Nordstrom Neiman Marcus Saks The Bay (CA) Selfridges Bergdorf Goodman House of Fraser (UK) John Lewis (UK) Sephora (France) Bloomingdale's FeelUnique Chanel Dillard's 1 0 Where to Buy Affiliate Links Nordstrom Neiman Marcus Saks The Bay (CA) Selfridges Bergdorf Goodman House of Fraser (UK)...
Pillow Talk Medium Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Medium Matte Revolution Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, dusty coral with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had medium coverage in a single layer that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with a second layer. It was paired with a smooth, lightly emollient texture that felt more velvety than moist, so it glided on easily but didn’t feel slippery on. There was a smidgen of product that sank into my deeper lip lines but wasn’t noticeable in person (just in the close-up photos). It wore well for four and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating over time.
