This is my first foray into La Femme products! I’ve heard other bloggers talk about the brand but I associated it with Constance Carroll….urgh, don’t ask.

I was browsing eBay and spotted these La Femme Liquid Blushers…looked inoffensive enough so I purchased two colours to try.

There are 6 shades* and for some reason they chose to make it all very pink based, which basically eliminates my need to buy more than 2 of these blushers!

I got 01 Bright Pink and 05 Soft brown. Other shades I saw were 03 Dark Pink, 04 Pink Glow and 06 Soft Pink.

I definitely have a soft spot of cream and liquid blushers more than powder – I like them if they leave a soft, natural glow and set on the skin.

This La Femme Liquid Blusher I guess, is more of a cream than a liquid, but it isn’t firm enough to live in a tub so I guess that’s why it classes as a liquid….

These are cheap. Like £2.60 each on eBay. I bought two shades – as mentioned before there’s loads of pinks so I went for bright pink and soft brown.

The brown is not brown, it’s an orange and the bright pink is fairly vivid and with a blue tone:

The texture is medium creamy, it’s nice to work with and blends in the cheeks easily, and it also seems to set and last about 4 hours +.

Most of my cream blushers are in a pot, and other than that I tend to have cheek tints. This is a nice inbetween product.

This does stain though even after just a few minutes on the skin. Here is what was left on my hand after doing my swatches:

I don’t really like make up that leaves stains anywhere, even if it’s a lipstick!

Nevertheless – I was very impressed by this liquid blush after using it for a few weeks. It’s super duper easy to blend and is buildable. The colour range is limited but you get an absolute ton of product in the tube (you only need a bit) so it will last for ages.

The ingredients list (I’m not mad about it but I don’t think it’s worse than a lot of other cream blushers out there):

Used the soft orange here:

Verdict:

I must admit I do like my posh make up but these cheap La Femme Liquid Blushers are a nice purchase and great value. I bought mine from eBay, they’re around £2.60 each.

You know I am loving these types of blushes at the moment. I have worn nothing but the NYX one I bought from you since the day I got it. It is a perfect shade and was just what I was looking for..something illuminate my skin without adding any pinky colour (or being frosty) and it does exactly that.

I’ve been using it a lot but it shows no signs of dipping or anything and is so easy to use. I am goin to get rid of my powder blushers and buy some more liquid ones..these La Femme ones will be checked out asap!
