I received these two products at an event a while back, and they're really chalk and cheese. Ideal Luminous Blush in Russet, £6.50, is bold, high pigment, mostly matte with the tiniest glow (not sparkle!), and needs to be applied with a light hand to avoid looking clown like. True Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Stone Taupes, £9, on the other hand, is disappointingly sheer - I had to layer my swatches to get the opacity you can see above, which is far from impressive.
This, for me, is the problem with Avon - some of their products (like the Russet blush) are absolute bargains, whilst some (like Stone Taupes) are a bit disappointing. Still, at least the cost of sorting the duds from the hidden gems is reasonably low.

Well, I think I will give a try the Ideal Luminous Blush in Russet. I am kinda curious about it when applied.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the lack of a face swatch! The lack of sunlight is seriously disturbing my ability to swatch :)
