Get Your O Glow with Pixi Gel Blush

When Clinique discontinued my favorite gel blush 'Black Honey' - I was devastated! I thought I would never love again...

Gel blush has been an obsession from my 'Wet -n- Wild' tween years. I've tried it all: the creams (they don't last and never look quite right), the powders give me mannequin-face, the brush-on liquid stain doesn't stick and is a great big spill-hazard.

Very simply put: gel blush looks the most natural, kisses your face with an 'I just ran around the block in the crispy New England autumn weather' glow that lasts all day.

After months of sulking and trying to make creams work - I discovered Pixi brand gel blush at Target of all places. It is a little pricey (runs $20 a tube) but it lasts quite awhile. My favorite shade is 'Flushed', a deep berry stain.

Now that I am in love again, I've forgotten all about that snooty Clinique counter. Thank you Pixi, you've given me back my glow!

Pros:

• Sheer cheek gel is translucent, hydrating and long lasting
• It's a cheek gel stain that adds a delicate flush of color without looking like you are wearing makeup
• Light-to-Medium Coverage
• Can Be Used Alone or Over Foundation
• Ideal for All Skin Types
• Fragrance Free

Cons: Depending on your skin type - it might stain your fingers a bit (so wash them, dirty bird!)
