Hmm. I know it doesn’t look like much, especially compared to other people’s stashes. But when you think about how much product an average blush has and how little you use each time you wear blush… This is a lot. I even have one on the way (haha, I’m expecting a new blush baby!) from Krystal for my birthday. (Gifts don’t count. I’m kinda cheating this way, but she did ask what I wanted, so…)
Smashbox Fusion blush in Regal – The packaging on this is divine. I really liked this fall collection. I should’ve taken a picture with the lid down, oops. I don’t use this one very much, though. It’s a nice color and all, but… I mean, look at all my options! But I really don’t want to give it away because it’s so pretty. :X
Verdict: Maybe
Too Faced Papa Don’t Peach – I bought it because I liked the name, but I really do love the color as well.
Verdict: Keep
NARS Deep Throat – This came as part of a set. I like this one too. You know what, I pretty much like all of my blushes.
Verdict: Keep
NARS Orgasm/Laguna – Well, this is a cult favorite, and I love it, so.
Verdict: Keep
NARS the Multiple in Orgasm – This creme stick blush is just okay. I use it mainly for convenience. When my on-the-go blush runs out, I’ll probably replace it with this one. Or I might give it away? Argh, I don’t know. I have a hard time letting go of things. :(
Verdict: Maybe
Too Faced Pink Leopard, Snow Bunny, Sun Bunny – These were my first cheek products! They came in the Bronzed and the Beautiful palette. They’re a bit frosty, and I COULD give them away even though they’ve been depotted (I want to give away some depotted eyeshadows), but I’m stubborn, okay? Besides, Snow Bunny looks great in wintery, overcast London weather. :P
Verdict: Keep
Stila Sun Bronzing Powder in shade 02 (what an exciting name) – This is a pretty good bronzer. Not too orange or frosty. I use it every once in awhile to contour. But… not often enough. A part of me doesn’t want to give it away though, because it came in a two pack set along with an illuminizing (is that even a real word?) powder that I gave away to Krystal and if I give this away too, then that means I shouldn’t have bought it in the first place. But that’s neither here nor there, really.
Verdict: Maybe
Tarte Amazonian Clay bronzer in Park Avenue Princess – This came in the Sephora 500 point perk. I didn’t use it at first, but after Krystal told me she’d hit pan on it already, I was inspired and motivated to use it more often. It’s a mini size, so hopefully it won’t take too long to hit pan. I can take it with me on the go, as well.
Verdict: Keep
The Body Shop baked blush in Coral – I love this blush. It’s a flattering color and it brightens my face without being frosty.
Verdict: Keep
Smashbox Blush Rush in Masterpiece – This blush was part of the Smashbox Spring 2009 collection. I really like this color. I would depot it, but I like the packaging too.
Verdict: Keep
Benefit Sugarbomb – Another cult favorite. I use this almost everyday. It’s also huge (12g!) so it’ll take me awhile to make a dent in it. But it’s the perfect everyday blush for me. Love.
Verdict: Keep
MAC Venomous Villains blush in Darkly My Dear – Another packaging win. The color itself is a nice dusty rose, so I could justify keeping it around. :P
Verdict: Keep
Benefit Powderazzi (Dallas, Coralista, Hoola) – Love this cheek palette. I’ve debated over depotting it, but I like having them all together. In theory, I could just toss this in my travel makeup bag and call it a day. Maybe I’ll bring it with me to Chicago. The only one I don’t use much is Hoola. It’s barely dark enough to be a bronzer for me. It’s almost like a face powder.
Verdict: Keep
Cargo blush in Mendocino – This came in the Mediterranean set. It’s a pretty color, but there are gold glitter flecks and I don’t like glitter on my cheeks… I might eventually let this go. Once I get over my psychological hang-ups, that is.
Verdict: Maybe
Cargo blush in Coral Beach – It’s called a blush, but I use it more as a bronzer. This one came in the Safari set, which I love. It’s a bit frosty, but it’s nothing that good blending won’t take care of.
Verdict: Keep
Urban Decay Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint in Quickie – I hit pan on this a couple months ago! Just keep on keepin’ on!
Verdict: Keep
Becca Beach Tint in Raspberry – I love this cheek tint. It came in a Becca gift set that Albert got me. I wish it weren’t so expensive, though.
Verdict: Keep
Conclusion: I love my blushes, and I have a hard time letting any of them go even when I don’t use them much and I know I won’t use them much. Sigh.

Loooooooooooooooooove blush! I think this is the perfect stash, actually. Not too much, not too little. Blush is my kryptonite, so I have a lot more than I care to admit… but we all have that one thing, right? *cough cough* The only thing I’m trying not to accrue too much of is cream/liquids due to the expiry hassle. Other than that, I think I’ll go on collecting more blush and switch out the ones that I don’t like. o__O
Girl, I completely understand. :P I adore blushes too. I think it’s a pretty well rounded collection too. My friend got me Tarte’s Tipsy for my birthday, which I’ve been eyeing forever. I also want to add a bright red, since I don’t have one yet. :X
