Benefit Thrrrob





One of my favourite products of my rather large makeup collection is definitely Benefit's Thrrrob blusher. I'm not a fan of the way it is described on the packaging ("Get the 'turned-on' flush you've been looking for with this heart-throbbing pink powder"...just  how I wanted to look as I go to Uni...) but in all other aspects it hits the mark, though sadly is has been discontinued.

I would describe it as a cool toned pink, with just the right amount of shimmer to add a little somethin' somethin' without being too obvious. For me it's the perfect 'just been walking out in the cold, fresh air' colour that really perks up your complexion. I tend to just dust it on my cheeks, add a sweep of mascara and a bit of lipstick on those lazy days when doing your whole face is just to much to ask.

What I am really upset about is the fact that this blusher has been discontinued, and I didn't get to pick up another one before it happened. In order to mend my broken heart, I've been trawling through Temptalia looking for a dupe; the one that comes closest to matching it is an NYX blush in Natural. When I get back to the UK, I'll try and purchase it and then do a comparison.  

Have any of you tried this blusher? What do you think?

    1. I totally agree! I was completely poleaxed when I went to the counter to repurchase Thrrrob and the lady told me it was discontinued! I almost broke down right there in Boots haha! But I'm hoping that the NYX blusher will fill in the gap that Thrrrob has left :) xx
