Ellana Mineral Cosmetics Pressed Mineral Blush Duo in Obsession/Fulfillment

Hey gorgeous!

The Blush is one of the makeup products that I don't really value as much. Don't get me wrong, it is still a must in my everyday makeup routine. I just don't need a lot of them unlike eyeshadows, eyeliners, and lipsticks. I always thought that I don't need to invest a large amount of my money for blushes unlike when it comes to foundations and long-wearing mascaras and liners. Since I like dramatic eye makeup, I go for subtle colors on the cheeks and I think that I only need probably less than five shades (though currently I have more) of blushes in my stash. What is important for me is that I have a good pink and peach shades. 

And that's what this particular product provides... This is a palette containing two beautiful shades of pink and peach that will give your face that beautiful warmth...

So let's get to know the product first. Here are some info from the website:

As seen at the back of the compact, the left one, Obsession, is a sheer raspberry red. I find it more like a very warm, sweet pink shade. The other one, Fulfillment, is watermelon peach and gold shimmer. I super adore this shade. I've mentioned quite a few times that I love peach and this kind of shade, almost Salmon, is one of my favorite!

Swatches
Left is Obsession, Right is Fulfillment

They both have a semi-matte finish which I really like for my blushes. Semi-matte because they have these really fine shimmer, almost unnoticeable at first. These shimmers add to the soft, natural-looking glow on my cheeks when I wear the blushes. 

They can be chalky but they are highly pigmented. A little amount goes a long way so just tap the blush brush first before applying.

Here are pictures of me wearing the blushes taken with different camera (Nikon D60) white balances:

I think Obsession looks warmer on me when I apply it on my cheeks. I'm not complaining. I think it looks amazing!

And now, with Fulfillment:

Fulfillment is currently becoming one of my most used blushes. I just love how it gives my face a healthy flush.

So what do you think of this Blush Duo from Ellana? :)
