I've always had my eye on One Hot Minute. I keep swatching it when I go to Boots, but the price always puts me off. I mean its more expensive than a MAC MSF! It's a finely milled shimmery gold-toned powder. It's very good for highlighting the cheekbones or under the brows, or all over the face for a glowy look.
This is my first time trying an Illamasqua blush, and my first time trying an Illamasqua product! It's because I've been using MAC for so long, and I feel as though its 'safe' buying their products. I know my skin's generally happy with them, and I generally like the brand too. And I'm pretty sure that - as long as its a colour I like - I wont have any reason to regret the purchase other than having spent some money.
Back to the review, I'm really impressed by this Illamasqua blush in Dixie. I would describe it as a burnt coral colour. Judging by the pan, it looks in between MAC cremeblend blushes in So Sweet, So Easy and Joie-de-Vivre, leaning more towards the latter. On the swatches however, Dixie is darker and a lot more sheer than Joie-de-Vivre, so I have no worries on applying too much! It is also more orangey/less pink than JDV.
So what do you think? Have you tried these products? ♥

i love all the illamasqua blushes i got so far, all so pigmented.. try rude its a peachy color think you might love it!
ReplyDeleteThanx for swatching One Hot Minute!
ReplyDeleteI 've been wanting it forever, having heard it could work as a bronzer, but it's definitely not too dark and way too shimmery for that!
It would work as a nice blush though I think (besides as a powder highlighter)!

ReplyDeleteOne Hot Minute is a great name! A BF not knowing what to buy would be drawn to that. Well, at least I would be drawn to it. =)
ReplyDeleteI don't like the look of Dixie much, but One Hot Minute is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteXO
LOVE the look of Dixie :) I loved the look of JDV from what I saw on blogs, and I like Dixie just a little bit more.
ReplyDeleteHey hun! Have you found that the illamasqua cream blush is so pigmented that it only takes the tiniest of tiny applications? I own it in 'Rude' and have barely used any of it as its so so so pigmented! love them though, but rude takes a lot of blending x x (please check out my new blog, I would really appreciate some new followers! thanks! http://charstarblog.blogspot.com ) xxx
