Cheek couture
May 25, 2010
So at times I think I do you Health & Swellness readers a bit of a disservice.
It has to do with my obsession with beauty products. As part of my job, I receive a number of new launches to try out. And at times the packaging and product are just so pretty, they make my heart skip a beat and all I do (sometimes for weeks) is take it out of the packaging, and fondle it lovingly before placing it back in my drawer of products to try. I don’t want to actually (gulp) mess it up by actually trying it out. I know I’m not alone–my girlfriend S. compares new beauty products to crack (she practically hyperventilates when I present her with a goodie bag brimming with shiny, new cosmetics).
I bring this up as I’ve had this limited-edition Giorgio Armani Blushing Fabric Second Skin Blush in my possession for a few weeks now, weeks I’ve spent fondling and coveting the tube (yes, without having even tried a drop of it).
And so before it all sells out, you’d be better off reading BeautyEditor.ca’s Michelle Villett’s review of it cuz there’s no knowing when I’ll get around to “ruining” the brand new tube by actually using it.

I used to be the same way! Well still am – but because of all the testing I do for the blog, getting better at actually using the good stuff. Still, I have drawers full of YSL, Dior, Chanel, etc that I’ve accumulated over the years, and never touched. It’s just too pretty to wreck!

My heart is beating faster just reading about your drawer full of shiny new Chanel and YSL products!

So I finally did get around to breaking open the tube to try this blush, and I love it. It’s incredibly lightweight and seemingly disappears — I mean there is zero stickiness — leaving a very natural looking flush on your cheeks.
