I mentioned in a recent video that I asked my mum to send me a few things from Canada!
Cheeky, I know!
Included in the list were the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes everyone's been going on & on about!
Basically they're blushes with a memory foam-like consistency!
Unlike anything I've ever heard of before!
The shades I got were, Plum Wine, Orchid Hush & Hot Tamale.
Overall, these really aren't for me.
They're OKAY, but I wouldn't be too concerned if you can't get our hands on them.
Put it this way-I wouldn't buy them again!
First up is Hot Tamale:
I actually don't own any bright coral blushes, so I do quite like this one.
It's quite easy to get a nice natural looking flush of colour, but it doesn't last very long.
Next is Orchid Hush:
This was a real let-down. Basically NO colour pay-off whatsoever & it doesn't show up on my skin.
It would probably look better on darker skin tones as a highlight colour, but I'd suggest you pass on this.
Plum Wine
This has got to be my favourite one out of them all.
It's the darkest & I find I get the nicest amount of colour from this one.
I've found myself reaching for this a few times this week actually!
Still doesn't top my other blushes, though : (
If you'd like to see what else I've recently acquired, here's the video!
I also do swatches and a pretty in-depth bouncing demonstration ;)
Hope this made you feel better if you thought you COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT these blushes!
It was cool to try them, but as I said-doesn't leave a lasting impression with me!
The bright coral one is beautiful, such a pity they don't last too long!

Tell me about it! x
DeleteI was really excited for these, it's a shame that they aren't as great as we hoped :( x

aw i'm sad these aren't amazing, because they look like so much fun. i guess the bouncy thing is just a marketing gimmick, which is working because i still want to get one just to bounce it! x
ReplyDeleteAh every time I watch your videos I think that I'd love you as a friend! You crack me up so much
ReplyDeletexxx
I am a friend! It's so weird for me because I'll talk to my boyfriend & I'll say "well, my friend said this.." meanwhile, I've never met them, haha! x
DeleteI have the Orchid Hush one and I was so dissapointed with it! The color is beautiful in the pan but like you said, there was no pigmentation on my cheeks. I basically had to scrape off a little chunk and rub it onto my cheek to see any color at all and then it didn't last for more than an hour at most. It's a shame because you don't see blush colors like that too often in drugstore blushes. Such a let down!
ReplyDeleteI haven't got to the scraping stage yet, but I can imagine that being the only thing to work! Why do we let ourselves get sucked into these bad products!? x
DeleteThe consistency looks very weird! Shame they don't last long!

I actually really like the bouncy blush! I have it in peach satin and it looks good!

The Coral is gorgeous xx
ReplyDeletehmmm, in my opinion its just all a gimmick. the products will sell because of their usp but they're just not great quality!

I was actually wanting to try these but i don't think i will now(: Great review, if the colour payoff was good, the colours are lovely!

Good call! Steer clear! x
DeleteFinally something I read and hear about and do not want to get immediately! But I really enjoyed your thorough bounce demonstration ;)
ReplyDeleteI have the 05 shade 'fresh pink' and I can barely see it on my finger let alone on my cheeks...was very disappointed. I bought one off ebay as i saw it in teen vogue and really wanted to try it. I love your videos by the way x

Sometimes you know things are going to be shit, but for some strange reason we buy it! It boggles my mind, honestly! Glad you like my videos!! x
DeleteThanks for the honest review! Haven't tried them and won't bother.

Love your videos, Essie! You seem to be such a cute girl ♥
ReplyDeleteThankkk youu!! I'm really not cute in real life! I'm more on the annoying side ;)
DeleteI didn't think these blushes looked that great either so not really sure why there's so much hype about them!
ReplyDeletesorry to hear that you didn't like the blushes that much =( they seem to have a lot of mixed reviews.
ReplyDeletebtw! i was reading your post on mac's vex eyeshadow and went to go buy it and i LOOOOOVE it. thanks for a great recommendation! AND today, i went out to get some nailpolishes and revlon's new nailpolish smoldering (370) is like vex eyeshadow in nailpolish form!!!! i think you would like it =))
lovely blog/youtube channel, keep up the good work!
xo
OU! Yeah Vex is an interesting one! I'll DEFINITELY keep my eyes peeled for that Revlon polish! They're my favourite! x
DeleteI bought one of these blushes in Peach Satin. I actually love them! Try setting the blush with powder, I find they last longer this way.

I'm really glad you did a review on these! So many gurus have been raving about them, yet hardly any of them have actually swatched them. I was thinking about purchasing some, but they seemed kind of gimmicky. Absolutely adore your blog!
