I think I mentioned a while back that they were renovating the Walgreens near me. Well, while doing so, I was wandering through the aisles and found a section of clearance items. These weren't just old products, or broken products, these were perfectly good products that were marked down substantially. Case and point: Maybelline's Limited Edition Fall 2011 blushes below...marked down to $1.75 a piece, and then Maybelline was BOGO50% off, so I got one of them for $0.87! The moral of the story? Go check out the clearance!
The three I found were Stage Glow, Pressworthy Pink and Ravishing Rouge.
First, Stage Glow. This is a beautiful highlighting shade. The palest of nude pinks, there is beautiful pearl shimmer throughout.
Pressworthy Pink is a true bubblegum pink. There is also shimmer in this blush, but not as much as the Stage Glow. The shimmer is a bit more silver as well, or it could just be because it is against the pink so it stands out more.
Ravishing Rouge is a deep brick/plum shade with a slight pink shimmer. Yes, this is probably a bit dark for me, but I'm hoping with a light hand and a light brush, I can pull it off. Otherwise, this is going to my sister.
All three swatched below - natural light, no flash. The Stage Glow is just beautiful! The textures are creamy, not chalky at all. They blend very well into the skin and the shimmer left behind is a really nice glow in the cheeks.
Have you tried any of these LE shades? How about finding some great bargains like this in your local clearance?
