Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Cream Blush 03 Honey

So I was supposed to finish writing this and post it a few days ago, but this week I have been in a bit of a rut, a bit down and bummed out about everything, there was no reason for this but I didn't want that to translate into my blog, as I want everything on here to be as top notch as possible. However after posting this I will be following it up with another post, that will be introducing a new schedule that I am planning and also some changes blog-wise. Now without further a-do, let's get onto the topic of this post!

Before this I had never tried a cream blush before, I know that they have been raved about for a long time now and that a lot of people prefer them to powder blushes. However I think I was a bit scared to try them out as I wasn't so sure on how to apply them or how easy they were to use. I always pictured them being too solid and being really awful to get any pigment off, or on the other side them being like a cheek stain and me not being able to blend it quick enough leaving em with rather messy odd looking cheeks. 
I think it's fair to say I well over thought these little blushes and have been missing out this whole time, typical!

I found this little beauty on Fragrance Direct for a meagre £5.50, and thought why not?! That is an unbelievable saving of £18.50!!

So as I said I had never owned a cream blush before therefore did not know what to expect from this; nevertheless I was blown away! It is so smooth and creamy and blends like a dream! It is a lovely natural colour that isn't to harsh even on my fair skin, it is buildable however can also be applied quite lightly to get a sheerer look. I have been using this daily since I got it and it really is beautiful, I think it is suitable for all year round therefore will definitely get a lot of use. When I first got this I used a stippling brush to apply to but quickly found out that using my fingers really is easier, this allows you to control the amount your using and where your putting it a lot easier and also is soo much quicker to blend out and see the result. 

Without babbling on for too much longer, I just want to say I absolutely love this so much! and have most definitely been converted to cream over powder blushes from now on! If you haven't come across this before or have but were hesitant to try it out, I urge you to grab it now, it really is lovely. Sadly I think fragrance direct have sold out now however if you see it anywhere else, don't hesitate to pop it in your basket!

As I said watch out for my next post coming up shortly and I'll see you soon. Hope you enjoyed this review and helped anyone else stuck in the powder blush rut to climb out and be adventurous!
