Remember when that lip gloss that changed with your pH to become your perfect shade of pink was just coming out?  This is like that, but it's blush instead of gloss.  It's a lifesaver for me because I have a hard time finding a blush that gives a nice flush but isn't too pink.  The pH balance takes the guesswork out of buying blush so I can spend less time in the CVS aisle holding blush packages up to my face in the warped sunglasses stand mirror. Win-win.

Does anyone else get that veiny, reddish look around your eyes when you wake up?  I do even when I got a solid 8 hours the night before.  This stuff erases it completely, and the formula is really silky feeling.  I've also used it to cover up redness when I break out, and it covers it up and provides a good base for powder foundation to go over it.

Remember what I said about product loyalty?  This stuff has a following, and after getting some I can see why.  It goes on clear and really moisturizes your lips, and looks pretty while it's doing it.  I've also used it on my jank cuticles and it really softens them up.  Go get you some. I definitely plan on rebuying this.

Even though texture sprays are hyped by beauty blogs all the time, I've never been a huge fan until I found this.  It actually makes you hair wavy rather than just tangled and it smells like coconuts.  And, it's pretty cheap, which in my book is always a plus.  I spray this on before I curl my hair sometimes to give it some extra grip and occasionally as hair spray.  It's a great multitasker.

Don't be fooled by its mascara-like tube - this isn't mascara.  It's a bunch of white fibers that attach to your mascara and elongate your eyelashes to dramatic proportions, depending on how much you use. It looks like this in the tube:

And then like this on your lashes once you blink it on:

Warning: It WILL get everywhere.  But you kinda learn how to use it.  Just hold the brush under your lashes after you've put on a wet coat of regular mascara and blink it on.  Then add more black mascara, which will adhere to the fibers, making your lashes look longer.  You can repeat that process as much as you want until your lashes get as big as you want them.  I usually only do it once, but I have done it twice before and it was crazy.

I'm loving this stuff!  It's about 12 dollars on Amazon (here) but it lasts for a long time and makes it unnecessary for you to buy expensive mascara, since it will work with any kind.

It comes in a handy-dandy little bottle with a squirt top.  Sometimes liquid makeup can get super messy, but so far the way this dispenses has kept that from happening.

Honestly, my only issue with this blush is that the bottle spits out WAY more than you need.  A little goes a long way is an understatement.  I've got a peach stripe down the middle of my makeup bag from having to wipe off excess blush from my fingers because its really hard to only get out as much as you need.

This is how much comes out with one (tiny) pump.

This is how much you really need.

As far as application, its simple.  I just smile so the apples of my cheeks stick out and blend towards my temples.

All in all, I'd really recommend the HD blush - besides being a little squirt-happy on the dispensing, it looks really pretty, blends well, and it's four bucks. You can't beat four bucks for nice makeup.

Get yours here.
