Edward Bess recently released three new blushes this spring, and all of them are
gorgeous! Of the three new shades I chose No. 02 Filled with Desire- a gorgeous pale pink, but let me just say that it is far more complex than your run-of-the-mill pale pink blush. It has a gorgeous subtle sheen, but the shimmer itself is pink- so there is a tone on tone effect that lends itself to a far more refined and elegant sheen that translates to an ethereal glow on the skin. It really created that highly sought after healthy glow from within. While Filled with Desire is on the sheer side- it is buildable and beautifully pigmented. It applies with great ease and does not emphasize, or settle into, pores.
The formula is ultra-finely milled, and silky smooth. It does have a detectable scent but it is a pleasant rich fruity aroma (not overly sweet) that does fades very quickly upon application.
Filled with Desire is an infinitely wearable shade, but it will probably be the most flattering on pale to medium complected beauties since it is rather light.
As a girl who has far more pink blushes than I reasonably should, I have to say that in order for me to buy yet another- it really does need to be special to justify the purchase. THIS.ONE. IS!! The ethereal glow made it impossible to leave the store without this! It is just so pretty, and the quality is superb.
The top swatch is applied quite heavily, whereas the bottom is applied with a lighter hand.
Ingredients:
Overall assessment: I am smitten! I love this so much that I might have to go back for Bed of Roses as well! The quality is really amazing-- making this a fantastic find for pink blush lovers everywhere! I will definitely hit the pan on this beauty.

Very pretty, I was meaning to pick some of these up but I think since Zuneta is no more, ED has fallen off my radar!
ReplyDeleteI will make a note of this ;) Thanks for the great review as always xx
It's gorgeous, Clare-- it would be lovely on you! It's so heartbreaking about Zuneta!!!!!!! I loved them! Hopefully somebody brings EB back to the UK since these new blushes are quite lovely! xoxo
DeleteThere is one stockist still in the UK, just not a place I tend to buy from so I keep forgetting about them, guess I should write a big list and go for it :)

I think that you will really like the new EB blushes-- it's a shame that the line isn't far more accessible in the UK!!
DeleteThis pale pink is just so pretty! I didn't get this one, because it showed up on my inner arm, but wasn't sure it would really show up on my face. I love the other two I have though. EB really hit it out of the park with these new blushes.
ReplyDeleteI agree, he really did hit it out of the park on this one. You should try this one on your face to see if it works-- it is so gorgeous-- plus it mixes beautifully with Bed of Roses!! I'm really smitten with this blush! I think that I might have to pick up Bed of Roses next!! <3
DeleteDefinitely worth adding another pink blush when it looks as gorgeous as this.
ReplyDeleteI COMPLETELY agree!! This one is just so gorgeous!! You would love it, but you should see if the smell bugs you before spending the money. It does fade, but there is a definite fragrance.
DeleteThis is just gorgeous. It is a happy and milky color. I wish I didnt have red cheeks. Do you have any suggestions for uber red skin?

Isn't it a lovely shade of pink?! I am no dermatologist- but do you think that you have Rosacea? My suggestion would be to see a dermatologist if you are unsure as to why your cheeks are perpetually red. Plus products that you are currently using could be exacerbating the problem. It might be an issue with an easy fix. Plus, your doctor might have recommendations for wonderful products that will treat the issue. <3
DeleteWonderful blush!
ReplyDeleteHi Endless Summer! I agree, it is such a wonderful blush, and one that I am reaching for all of the time these days! :D
