Bobbi's Sweet Nectar

Sorry girls. It seems that the last few posts have either been on blushers or lotions, and this happily joins the ranks of those in the first category. Obviously.

And so today I shall pay homage to one of Bobbi Brown's blushers in her staple collection - Nectar.

Bobbi's products are never garish. They never make a statement. They're never loud. They never scream for attention. They're always subtle. Always consistent.

Some might even have the audacity to say they're a little blah, or boring, if you will.

But they have a kind of magic that charms its way around your little head. They never let you forget.

I should know. The first time my cheeks had the honour of wearing this blush was four years ago. And it's haunted me ever since. And so, four years after I first tried Nectar in a makeover, its finally charmed its way into my makeup collection. Just don't ask me how.

It's a coral-pink shade that looks more pink than coral in the photo, but believe me, there's coral in there too. Really.

It's got all that fresh-faced pop with none of the shimmer. It doesn't need shimmer. It's got oomph all on its own. It's very finely milled and just like all Bobbi blushers, pigment is never an issue.

Dust it on for less-makeup days to perk your complexion up. Just be careful with application or risk ending up with Bono-the-clown cheeks. Add a little gloss, or tinted lipbalm (my preference), and you're ready to run.

They say a picture speaks a thousand words. So I guess I'll let the picture do the rest of the talking.



(Apologies for the slightly poor quality, this was taken with a camera phone after the BB makeover.)

And oh, you'll need to fork out RM80 for a 3.7gm pan.

Bobbi doesn't let you forget that, either.
