ABAD Day 19: Topshop Cream Blush in Nutmeg//"每日一胭脂"系列 第19天: Topshop Nutmeg胭脂膏
Thanks to Lynn who brought me the cream blush in "Flush" from Topshop and got me hooked on it, Elaine has kindly helped me with other shades in this range LOL. This time I"ll be reviewing the shade in Nutmeg.
感謝Lynn給我Topshop 的"Flush", 令我上癮, 而Elaine給我機會試試同系列其它顏色 XD 今天我用到的顏色是"Nutmeg".
Nutmeg looks like a deep cinnamon shade in the pan with red undertones, when swatched it's pretty warm on the cheeks.Nutmeg 的顏色很像肉桂, 帶點紅色, 塗上面後的顏色偏warm.
Intensity: Highly pigmented
Intensity: Highly pigmentedFinish: Matte
Price: $11-12 USD
Lasting power: 5-6 hours
Repurchase: I've tried other colors in the range
Overall thoughts: Topshop cream blushes are easy to blend and pigmented, the only gripe is that some of their shades are not that long-lasting, I found Crushed Berry and Nutmeg to be more long-lasting in terms of hours than say, the shade in Flush. Overall I think it's a very decent product.
上色度: 高
上色度: 高
效果: 啞光
價錢: $11-12 美元
持久度: 5-6 小時
回購: 已經試過其他顏色了
總評: Topshop 胭脂膏很容易推開和顯色, 惟一的考慮是不同的顏色的持久度不同. Crushed Berry 同 Nutmeg 比起 "Flush" 持久. 總括來說, Nutmeg 都是比較大路的顏色, 質地亦不錯.
What is A-Blush-A-Day (ABAD) Project?
On each day, each of us will present a different blush (old or new) we used each day (so that's 4 x 30 = 120 blushes), with swatches done either on face or on hand, and a short review. For my list of 30 blushes to be used in this project, click here. Don't forget to head to Elaine's, Vonvon's, PopBlush's blogs for daily blush surprises!

ABAD Day 15: Topshop Cream Blush in Crushed Berry//"每日一胭脂"系列 第15天: Topshop Crushed Berry胭脂膏
When I first got Topshop cream blush in "Flush", I immediately googled swatches of the entire range online and decided that I should try "Crushed Berry" given it's a lilac/purple shade (That said, I can't miss any purple/lilac/lavender hues released in blushes! XD). However a closer look online I discovered "Crushed Berry" is "discontinued"? Thanks to Elaine who got me this from Singapore where this shade is still available!
試過Topshop "Flush" 胭脂膏後, 我在Google找尋其餘的顏色時, 發現有紫色系的 "Crushed Berry"啊 (不能錯過任何粉紫色系的顏色XD). 細心看看發現Topshop的網已經沒有了 "Crushed Berry", 幸好Elaine在星加坡給我找到了!
It looks scary and dark in the pan but came out ever so nice...see swatch pics below.看似很深色, 但出來的效果很nice呢...看看下面的試色圖.
See that "just-in-from-the-snow" glow?! You can't buy it but you can fake it with Topshop "Crushed Berry", haha.又是那 "剛在雪地進入室內" 面上粉紅的氣息, 現在不用渡假都可以擁有的好面色, 哈哈.
Intensity: Highly pigmented, blends less well than the same blush in "Flush"Finish: Matte
Price: ~$10-11 USD
Lasting power: 6 hours (longer than the same blush in "Flush")
Repurchase: Probably don't need to
Overall thoughts: Another unique shade to add to the stash. Although this blends less well than its counterpart "Flush" but it lasted longer, possibly due to the fact that this color is darker than "Flush".
上色度: 很高, 但沒有 "Flush"那麼容易推勻
上色度: 很高, 但沒有 "Flush"那麼容易推勻
效果: 啞光
價錢: ~$10-11 USD
持久度: 比同款不同色的 "Flush"持久, 6小時
回購: 不用了
總評: 又是一個很獨特的顏色, 值得一試. 雖然它比同款的不同色的 "Flush"較難推開, 但可能是較深色的緣故, Crushed Berry 比較持久.

ABAD Day 11: Topshop Cream Blush in Flush //"每日一胭脂"系列 第11天: Topshop "Flush" 胭脂膏
First and foremost, I'd like to thank Lynn for bringing me this from Singapore. I have yet to try any makeup from Topshop before this, and I'm pleasantly surprised by this tiny cream blush. Lynn got me the shade in "Flush", which is a peachy coral shade.
首先, 很感謝Lynn由星加坡帶這個給我, 很是意外. 在此之前我還未用過Topshop的妝物, 但這細小的胭脂膏的質感很令人驚嘆. Lynn給我選了 "Flush"這個顏色, 是水蜜桃的珊瑚色來的.
*screams* it looked so pretty on the cheeks when I used it for the first time. From that moment on, "Flush" has been a keen staple in my stash.*尖叫* 第一次試在面上時實在太靚啦. 由那次起, "Flush"成為我袋內主要的妝物了.
Intensity: Medium-high pigmented, blends easilyFinish: Matte, creamy
Price: Around $10 USD each
Lasting power: Shows sign of fading after 4-5 hours
Repurchase: Already did, lol
Overall thoughts: If you have access to Topshop makeup, this would be the one product that you would want to try. The price is a little bit more than drugstore cream blushes. Longevity is an area which leaves certain room to improve. I would recommend this shade, which would look good on anyone, and the shade in Nutmeg, which I will also be reviewing in this series.
上色度: 中-高, 很容易推勻
上色度: 中-高, 很容易推勻
效果: 無閃粉, creamy
價錢: 約$10 USD
持久度: 4-5小時後開始脫色了
回購: 已經做了
總評: 如果你有機會試Topshop的妝物的話, 你或者會想試試它們的胭脂膏. 價錢比其他開架式的貴一點, 而持久度還有改善的空間. Flush這個顏色在任何膚色上塗都會好看, 另一顏色Nutmeg亦不錯, 我稍後會出post的了.

Topshop makeup lands in my stash// 有朋自遠方來
A quick post for some announcements: Two days ago I met up with Lynn, a reader from Singapore, we went shopping and had a great time! She spoiled me with makeup from Topshop Singapore (HUGE thankyou to you, Lynn!), knowing that Hong Kong doesn't have Topshop. She got me Face wipes, a nail polish, kohl eyeliner pencil and a cream blush. I am in love with the cream blush already! Speaking of which, does anyone know if some of the cream blush shades are being discontinued? I googled for swatches online and #Crushed Berry looks nice as well, but I can't find it in Topshop's website though. Will do a review on the cream blush later.
有2件事要宣佈: 前天我與來自星加坡的讀者Lynn見面, 帶她去購物. 她知道香港沒有Topshop, 便帶Topshop的妝物比我, 我又被寵壞了, 哈哈! 她帶了: 潔面/落妝紙, 甲油, 眼線筆和胭脂膏. 雖然我之前並不知道, 但有點不好意思吧 ^^" (多謝 Lynn!)
我暫時只試了胭脂膏, 質地好易推. 講開又講, 有無人知Topshop胭脂膏是否斷了色? 我Google過試色圖, 很喜歡 #crushed berry的顏色, 但網上已經無列這個顏色了.
