perfect cheeks a la Red Apple Lipstick

So I'm a little late, but I finally wanted to share my thoughts on the Red Apple Lipstick pressed cheek product launch. As a Red Apple Lipstick lover for over a year now, it's safe to say that my body was ready for this launch.

Tonight, we have two products on the menu. On the top you see the only blush option with shimmer, and subtle peachy-pink perfection, 'Gotta Glow.' Below we have the perfect not too cool but not too warm bronzer in 'Sundrop.'

GOTTA GLOW 

ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, vegan octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate, zinc oxide, silica, ultramarines, iron oxides, bismuth oxyChloride <0.05%

Gotta Glow - $25 - Available Here

If you know me at all, you know I am not one for a heavy blush sort of look. I like my cream blushes in nude hues, mauve tones of any kind, but once Spring and Summer roll around I can't deny the lingering though of "what if, for once, I looked like a beach babe?" Though that thought is often written off with a laugh, I always remember associating that look with the classic, NARS Orgasm. Now NARS Orgasm is a thing of the past as I ventured on my green beauty journey, but we have Red Apple Lipstick to thank for filling the void. 

The bottom line is, this blush is pigmented but not too pigmented, smooth, blend-able, and filling a void for an old faithful in my heart.  It's safe to say I am loving this little number.  

SUNDROP BRONZER

ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, vegan octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate, zinc oxide, silica, ultramarines, iron oxides

Sundrop Bronzer - $25 Available Here

I think I might be in the minority here when I say bronzer is one of my favorite makeup items. Even if I am throwing on a five minute face, bronzer is a thing my face will never be without. It instantly lights and warms up the face, and as an SPF lovah' my face is always quite a few shades more pale than the rest of my skin. Basically what I am saying is, I know my shit when it comes to bronzer. 

Though this bronzer is lighter than what I originally go for (I am ride or die for the 100% Pure bronzer), it's fantastic. It's a much cooler option than I am used to as well (see swatch in comparison to this photo). It adds just the right amount of definition without looking overdone. I think this would suit a variety of people up to a light-medium skin, but definitely ideal for fair skin because of the subtle pigmentation that can be built upon and general ease of use. 

Overall, this drop is as lovely as suspected. Build-able pigment, smooth finish, and no kick up in sight! I highly recommend checking these out if you're in the market for a beautiful pressed powder product.
