Be a Bombshell Blushes in Glowing Goddess and Raspberry Tart - review and swatches

I bought these two blushes at the beginning of the year in the Violet Box shop. I had some points to use up and, at that time, my blush collection was rather small (not anymore!). 

I liked the look of these and Google told me they'd had some great reviews - with many commenting on their high pigment, blendability and staying power - so really, I did well to only buy two ; )


I chose these two because I'm orange/coral obsessed (my golly, you must be sick of hearing that by now...). Glowing Goddess is described as 'a medium peach with a hint of shimmer' and Raspberry Tart as 'a shimmery, mid-tone dusty coral with a bronze undertone'. Those descriptions are pretty accurate.

Be a Bombshell claims/product details:
  • A high pigmented, long lasting formula for all day wear
  • RRP $21 AUD for 4g

Usage tips:
  • Swirl brush in blush and tap off excess
  • Lightly stroke the blush across the apples of your cheeks, starting from the hairline and working in 
  • For bronzer, use a wide blush brush and apply bronzer lightly across your cheekbones, along your temples and across the top of your forehead to give a sun-kissed look
  • To add definition to your cheekbones, use a blush to add glow and use a bronzer to define 


See above wrist swatch - Glowing Goddess above and Raspberry Tart below. Note the colours don't show up as well on my wrist, but come out strong on my face.

Below I'm wearing Glowing Goddess on my cheeks and Raspberry Tart above my eyes, so you can see the difference between the two colours. Glowing Goddess is a gorgeous, light peach, and Raspberry Tart a lovely terracotta.


Again, Glowing Goddess on my cheeks and Raspberry Tart above my eyes. I've used a light touch - you could apply them heavily for more punch.


Verdict

AMAZING blushes, and especially for the price! Seriously, I can't rave enough about these. 

Glowing Goddess has become my go-to blush for everyday wear because it's such a pretty colour, and because it allows me to apply heavier eye makeup or a bright lipstick without looking overdone. (And to think I only decided on Glowing Goddess at the last minute, and was initially going to buy Blind Date instead! Mind you, I kinda still want Blind Date... Ha.) 

I use Raspberry Tart if I want my cheeks to be the focus, and I'm wearing a nude lip and less eye makeup.

What I love about these is that they're super-pigmented, so you only need a little and the products will last for ages. They also come in a range of gorgeous, wearable colours and last well throughout the day. They're blendable and easy to work with. What else can I say?

If you need a new blush and have some Violet Box points to use up, I'd definitely consider buying one of these : )
