One of my first loves, the ultimate blushes for oily skin.
Today, I’m reviewing my favorite
blushes which are the Careline Oil Control Blushes. My favorite shade is Fresh
Tomato and Peach Glow. I don't know why it took me so long to review these, I was supposed to get more shades, but whenever I try to look for the two shades
I’m after, I never see them. And I think they changed names or maybe they added
shades? I’m not sure. I think I saw a shade like Pink Blossom or something.
Let’s take a closer look at the
shades in my collection.
Packaging:
I actually like that it comes in
this white packaging. I think it just makes the color stand out more. It doesn’t
come in a box, and I don’t have the actual packaging, but I’m pretty sure you’ve all seen
it in stores. It also comes with a powder puff that I tried
to use once because I was in a hurry and desperately needed to put blush on my
cheeks, which turned out horribly. So yeah, I won’t be using that powder puff
again. It can't really blend.
The blushes are compact which I think is pretty good for travelling. I mean it hasn’t smashed in my bag that I toss on seats and tables and bring everywhere I go. That's a pretty sturdy case for me for the price of PHP 90.00 ($2)

Charming Pink
This is the first blush that I bought from this line. I Googled this up and this was the shade that people mostly
had, so I decided to try it. After I got the other shades from
this line I realized that Charming Pink was the shade that didn’t suit me that
much. I figured it would be better for people with lighter skin tones, and I also found that this shade was the most powdery of the four.
Fresh Tomato
Fresh Tomato
Fresh Tomato is my favorite
shade. I know it looks intimidating, but that’s because it’s so pigmented you don’t
really need that much. I once thought why would people want to put red blush on
their cheeks? And then it hit me that red blush looks great on yellow oriental skin. Quite hard to get a hold of it at first, but when you
do, it’s going to work wonders. This shade really lasts me the whole day, about eight hours. It definitely withstands summer heat in the Philippines.
If I ever hit pan on this shade, I swear to buy another one.
Peach Glow
My second favorite shade from the my Careline blush collection is Peach Glow. This shade is perfect for everyday wear or for days when you don’t really want people to notice that you're
wearing blush. I love that it’s so natural and it just makes me look healthy when
I’m wearing too much matte products. It doesn’t look flat on the face and it's just perfect for a natural look when you're at school or in the office. It can last about five hours on my oily skin. Sometimes I put this first before I put on the shade Fresh Tomato just for extra color.
Rosy Cheek
Rosy Cheek is the newest shade
that I have. At first, I was hesitant to buy this because it looked like it had
little shimmers on it, but I'm glad that it turned out matte. This is the shade I
go to if I don’t want to use Fresh Tomato. It’s a mauvey-pink that people with darker skin tones could definitely rock. It lasts about seven hours and it doesn't have too much fall out at all.
Careline Oil Control Blush Review
I love these products because it works great for my oily skin. Wear time is incredible for the price. These are pretty pigmented blushes and they've never broken my skin out. Charming Pink was the only shade that I felt powdery. And there's little to no fall-out when I use my Real Techniques multi-task brush with these. Great blushes under PHP 100.
The shades are pretty but they look so chalky :(
ReplyDeleteI may have not done a good job blending haha. I only found one shade chalky. But the darker shades are definitely smoother :)
DeleteI really like your photography, Ms. Maj! :)
ReplyDeleteBtw those careline blushes are a really good entry level for makeup. <3
Thank you so much!
DeleteYup. I never wore blushes until a year ago haha. Clinique was my first blush ever and Careline was the second one. And now I'm getting more blushes. This is addicting lol
I love love love the first picture!! How do you get pictures so awesome and true to color?
ReplyDeleteI really wish I bought Careline products while in the Philippines. I'm still kicking myself for that. I must say, I totally laughed at "Fresh Tomato." That is such an interesting choice to title a blush. "Yes, I want my cheeks to be fresh tomato red." HAHA. :D
I just use Instagram cam coz it's HD and natural light! Very important to be natural light haha.
DeleteNever ever thought I'd wear red blushes coz it seems clownish when you say it but I might try and find more :P
I like fresh tomato. Nga pala, if you're going to check out the shawill matte blushes, note that they're not true to color.
ReplyDeletehow? swatches differently from the pan or oxidizes orange or a darker color?
DeleteCareline blushes are compact and the swatches are good :)
