Hello Girlies!
Its so good to see brands coming up with new products in categories apart from lips so when L’oreal launched their Lucent Magique Blush Palettes in India I instantly went to the mall to get me some rose gold gorgeousness.

Packaging
The L’Oreal Lucent Blushes come in a gorgeous rose gold and metallic packaging which is quite compact and will easily fit into clutches. Inside, it has a decent size mirror along with a blush brush which though I will not recommend it for application but it is decent enough to be used for a touch up. These blushes had won me over with the luxurious packaging alone and I love how impressive it looks sitting pretty on my dresser 🙂
Shade
I picked up the shade Blushing Rose which contains a pale pink highlighter, a shimmery peachy pink and a satin coral color. When swirled together it gives a gorgeous pinkish coral flush to the cheeks that will look natural and flattering on all skintones though might not show up so well on the dusky beauties.
The L’Oreal Lucent Magique Blush Of Light Glow Palettes do contain shimmer but it gives a healthy glow to the face instead of looking like you rolled in shimmer 😀 I can even wear it during the day when used with a light hand without it looking OTT.
Texture
The L’Oreal Lucent Magique Blushes have a silky smooth and finely milled texture. Though I did feel the coral shade to be a bit hard compared to the others but when used together it applies well and blends seamlessly. The only issue is that since the L’Oreal Magique Blushes are quite soft it kicks up alot of product everytime I use it with a brush and I need to clean up the excess after every use.
Pigmentation
The L’Oreal Magique Blush Palettes are moderately pigmented which is exactly how I prefer my blushes- not highly pigmented that you end up looking like a clown very easily or too sheer that it takes forever to show up well on you. I need to apply it twice to get the just flushed look and I believe this will show up beautifully on fair to wheatish skintone but might not show up that easily on someone with a dusky complexion.
Staying Power
The wear time of the L’Oreal Magique Blush palette is pretty impressive as it managed to stay put in this humid weather for about 5 hours on me. I went out today to get an outfit post clicked and it managed to survive hours under the sun despite me sweating like a pig which trust me is no mean feat.
Worth the money?
Sigh! This is one question that I have been asking myself alot in terms of latest launches and it is sort of getting tiring complaining about the price again and again. I feel 850 bucks is pretty expensive despite the blush being of top notch quality as you do not expect such a price from a drugstore brand. I really wanted to buy Duchess Rose but I think I’ll wait till they offer some discount on it.
Pros
1) Has 3 beautiful and flattering shades which give a healthy flush to the cheeks
2) The pinkish coral color will flatter fair to medium skin tone beautifully
3) Has a soft texture which blends easily
4) The shimmer is finely milled and gives a beautiful glow to the cheeks
5) It is moderately pigmented and shows up well in 2 swipes
6) The staying power is pretty impressive
7) Classy and luxurious rose gold packaging which comes with a good size mirror aiding touch ups
Cons
1) Ouch it hurts my pocket :'( Why does it have to be so expensive?
HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: L’Oreal Lucent Magique Blush Palette in Blushing Kiss is a gorgeous coral pink which imparts a healthy glow to the complexion. Its soft in texture, blends easily and stays put for a good amount of time. If you love shimmer in your blushes then this is a must have!
