Introducing another bargain from my local Factory Outlet Store.
I can safely say I have never tried anything from the Astor brand before, but when I saw this staring back at me, I just knew I had to try it out. 
I payed only £2 for this and I am super duper impressed with what I got for my money.
This VIP 3 tone blush is sold as a coral, which when you use all of the three shades together, it certainly is. But, if you the separate the shades you can also use it as a soft pink also. 
Astor claims this blush is a 'very soft formula containing over 74% minerals'. Soft, it most certainly is. With the slightest touch you can pick up a ton of product, the product of which is incredibly pigmented! 
The blush itself can be used to create quite a bold cheek or sheered out to look very subtle. The product isn't glittery but isn't matte either. It falls in that nice little space between that gives your skin some instant glow. 
The blush is very nicely packaged and comes with a mirror in the lid and a little applicator brush also. You receive 6.75g of product, which for the £2 I paid, I am amazed with. 
I've yet to come across any other shades, but I will keep checking back at my local store and as soon as I do I will most certainly be purchasing some more.

Hi Lovelies!
I've always been a fan of W7. I know it isn't a high end name brand, but they certainly make the best cosmetics for the price they charge. I previously posted about the Africa Box Bronzer, so when I saw this blush, I had to try it. 
I have seen the 'the cheek of it' blushes online and had ummed and ahhhed about whether to buy them or not. There is 4 shades in the collection and this shade is 'Baby Pink.'
In pan the blush is a very pretty soft pink with a slight sparkle. When swatched the colour is quite pigmented, but after being blended out, the colour becomes very sheer, which I love. I find this blush is the perfect shade to give a slight flush of colour without making it obvious you're wearing blush at all. 
I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for the other 3 shades. As a blush obsessive I would love to add the to my ever growing collection.
