Founded in 2005, Lily Lolo is perhaps one of the most well-known UK-based mineral makeup lines. I think some of you outside the UK might have heard about it as well. Today I am reviewing three of Lily Lolo’s Blush Pots.
(Rosebud)
Rosebud is a very pigmented warm rosy red with pink shimmer and iridescence. For people with a light or light-to-medium complexion, the shade can be too dark. (Also, it is not easy to be light-handed with it to create a sheer finish.) But if you have a medium or medium-to-dark complexion, I think this can be a beautifully luscious shade for the cheeks.
(Cupcake)
(Rosy Apple)
All the three shades have a decent staying power.
On the whole, Rosebud and Rosy Apple seem to be quite typical blushers from mineral makeup lines as they are very pigmented and they carry iridescence and shimmer. They also tend to set on the skin very quickly, so it is crucial to make sure that the brush picks up the powder very evenly. If you are looking for very pigmented blushers, these two shades could work well for you (if you have the complexion that they are suitable for).

Hi PJ,
Cupcake looks so adorable!! Do you have or know of any pressed powder blushes that can be a dupe for this shade? I'm too clumsy a person to mess with loose mineral powder. ;)

Hi Miss Wiggle,
I tend to prefer pressed-powder blushers as well. Out of the ones I have tried, I think SUQQU's Blend Cheeks in 05 Kasanebeni is the most similar to Cupcake. Do have a look at the review. :)
Thank you for stopping by again! :)
