So I seem to have gained a bit of a reputation as a Blush Queen *adjusts my little tiara* 😉 so, I thought it might be nice to share with you the story of my first blush.
My very first blush was a L’oreal Blush Delice blush in Rosy Cheeks. This was back in the days when I was young, foolish and had less choices than we do now. I had only one blush then and I used it every single day that I applied makeup. But I’m happy to say that the L’oreal Blush Delice blushes have to this day, remained one of my favourite blushes! (So I must have done something right!)
The texture of the L’oreal Blush Delice is par exellance and the shimmer is lovely but not over the top. I used to use the brush that was included in the package which served its purpose well, although it was a little hard to control some times. Incidentally, Rosy Cheeks is still my favourite colour of all the colours that have been released by L’oreal. It is the PERFECT rose pink and imparts the PERFECT colour to simulate blushing cheeks.
Yes, it was love then and it still is love now. And look, here’s a picture of the very first blush I have ever owned (and the very first blush I’ve ever nearly finished)!
The cover is broken but I keep it anyway and I use it from time to time. Its a reminder to me of what things used to be and how they should be i.e. I really should try to enjoy and finish up some of the stuff I have 🙂
Would you like to share your first blush story? Leave me a comment below. I’m sure we’ll all enjoy reading it. 🙂
Gee… my first blush was a hand-me-down from mom… I used to sneak over to her room and use it and sooner or later, it became mine. It’s either Shiseido or Kose, I think (never turned it over to look at the brand!) and I still have it with me. It’s 3 color pan, so I use it to contour and give me the illusion of higher cheekbones. Pretty advanced for a first blush, I now think! *grin*
p.s. Like Tine, I remember the archive photo of your blush collection… updated photo can? *wink*
AWWWW. This post just made my heart melt.
My very first blush was my mom’s Lancome lipstick. I was 12 years old and began experimenting with makeup so I took her stuff. It was a brown shade (far be it for me to figure out which one) and I was crafty enough to use it as an eyeshadow too…very monochrome, very multiple if I do say so myself. Off course my blending skills weren’t quite there so I wound up looking like I had greasy brown smudges acorss my eyes and cheeks, and just plain dark brown lips.
Yeah the kids at school made fun of me, but they had no idea that a few years later they would be imitating me. Sighhh, it’s always tough to be a trailblazer.

@fashionasia : Yay! Snap! The colour is really gorgeous.
@Syen: Yay for L’oreal blush Delice 🙂 In time, maybe I will 😛
@plue: That was my lament about Silkygirl’s blushes too – poor colour selection but then, I guess they just stuck with the more popular colours.
@pinkcloud: Ah I’m bad with gel or liquid blushes – never gives me the look I want. Glad they work for you.
@jojoba : Heh yep back in the day…
@bostonian: Wow! You started with Benetint? How brave of you 🙂
@rinnah: And you too m’dear were really brave to go with complex blushes. Advanced indeed!
@Elena: LOL… that was a fun story for sure.
ahhh… my first blush was back in high school. it was a covergirl (!!) blush called terracotta. that i bought at a georgetown (!!!!!) in SS3. it was i think a cream-to-powder blush, and it came with a sponge applicator. after a while i realized that the sponge wasn’t applying it well so i ditched it and used my fingers instead. i think i did pretty good for a 14 year old lol
my first adult blusher (since the kiddie make up set doesnt count) was from an estee lauder make up palette that my mom passed to me. once that was finished, i’ve been using the blush from muji. it’s pretty good hehe 🙂
