You may have saw in my last haul post that i got a fair amount of DaintyDoll blushers. I have been really impressed with these blushes so here is a whole post dedicated to them. I was only going to get one originally but they were only £1.99 at FragranceDirect! When they should cost £13.50.
First lets just get one thing straight. I may have pale skin but I'm really not in Nicola Roberts territory. I'm a comfortable Mac NC 20-22 and i tan realllllly well when in the sun. (odd for a Scottish lass). This said these still so well for me, very wearable.
I got three cream blushes and two powder blushes.  | ||||||||

Hippy shake is a very pale lilac/pink that i use as a highlight
You are my sunshine is very similar to Orange County Girl but a little less coral.
You can see from below that there is quite a difference in shade with and without flash in the powder once compared to the cream.

These blushes are all very pigmented, especially the cream ones. When applying to my cheeks i use my Real techniques Stippling brush for the cream ones and my Crown contour brush for the powder ones. My standard for blush. These brushes really only need to be dabbed into the pot lightly to get started. These can all be built up easily though depending on your preference.
I found when using the powder ones that there was exceptionally little fall out which is great as i store my makeup a bit haphazard and fallout equals mess.
The cream ones are not the easiest i have to blend, im just spoiled with my love of Stila convertible colours, but they don't cause any problems if you take your time and have good brushes.
The powder ones lasted a good 4 hours before needing reapplied on my oily skin which just burns through makeup, not a bad time and the cream ones lasted a really good 6 hours.
To be honest my only criticism about these is not even really mine, I don't understand how these colours would work for very pale people i would think they would be much to strong, but what do i know eh?
