What I Love about Bourjois Little Round pot blush #33 Lilas D'or :
- It is a dupe of Nars orgasm : According to CZ the difference is that Bourjois is little more pigmented . Nars on the other hand has more golden shimmer and is lighter. I think for Indian skin tones Bourjois wins being more pigmented.
- As I said, its a heavenly shade. A gorgeous peachy pink with slight coral undertones. It has golden shimmers in it, which is very fine and not OTT at all. It gives an instant glow to your face.
- Its very easy to apply and blends effortlessly.
- Pigmentation is really good
- The shade can be layered up for more color
- Being a 'baked blush' one can use it with a wet brush, to bring out more intense color
- Stays for 4-5 hours easily when applied over foundation & powder.After which the shimmer fades
- It has this very grandmother like... talc like fragrance..which I love
- Paraben free !
- I love small packagings ~ hence I love this 'little round pot' It has a mirror too ! yey
- I love that it has a curve for proper grasp and you can use it for buffing/toning down the blush by swiping it in small horizontal motion. Umm if you don't get what I mean.. have a look at Gossmakeupartist's video on blush application HERE at 2:10
- Affordable and easily available
What I don't Love about Bourjois Little pot round blush #33 Lilas D'or :
- After 3-4 hours , he golden shimmers have a tendency to spread and has a specially affinity towards my nose. Well, some patting some pressed powder helps to keep the at place though!
- The Brush is good.. but not great.
- Not sure, but I have heard these blushed harden up fast. It has been only a few months in my case..and thankfully have not yet encountered any such problem
My Rating : 4.5/5
Final Verdict : Must have blush in my opinion.Period.
