I was at Rite Aid over the weekend and spotted a display of new Revlon blushes. It had the new Insta-Blush sticks as well as the Revlon Powder Blush in "new multifaceted finishes". If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know I wasn't impressed with the Insta-Blush sticks...they barely showed up on my cheeks (I tried three different shades) and when I tried to blend them, they just blended away. Not to mention they were around twelve dollars each so I promptly returned them.
Are the powder blushes any better? Let's take a look...
The Revlon Powder Blushes come in 6 brand new shades and the display doesn't say if the formula has changed or not so I'm guessing it might be the same as before. I don't really recall if I've tried Revlon's blushes in the past so either way they're new to me.
They come in black plastic compacts that include a slim mirror and a small blush brush. They're made in the USA which I definitely appreciate!
I purchased three shades...Dare to Bare, Rosy Rendezvous, and Orchid Charm. Here's a close-up of each shade.

The original Revlon Powder Blushes have great reviews on Ulta.com so I don't know if these are possibly a new formula or if I'm just used to more pigmented blushes now. Either way, I don't see myself using these...there are so many great drugstore blush options and these were pretty expensive at $10.49 each.
Have you tried any of the new Revlon blushes yet? I'd love to hear what you think!

OMG almmost $11 for no pigment? No thank you. Revlon makes nice foundation but that's about it. I haven't bought anything from them in ages. I'm glad I saw this because if I saw that display in a store I might have decided to try them again. You should do a post on your favorite drugstore blushes!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great suggestion...I think I will! :) Yes, I agree...Revlon does make nice foundations but the powder products haven't improved at all. :(
DeleteOh man I was secretly hoping you would say these were good. I want to see brands like Revlon and Almay make a comeback instead of being so blah. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI know...I was hoping the same thing! I get bored of the same old stuff at the drugstore and just want someone to shake things up a little bit! If only I had the money to start my own line...I have so many ideas floating around. I wish I could help them, haha.
DeleteI've never liked Revlon's powder products. So disappointing.
ReplyDeleteSame here...especially when you have brands like Wet n Wild that create great formulas AND are cheaper. :)
