Armani Sheer Blush #6 (warm berry)



This is quite a similar colour to Sin by NARS, but the shimmer is a lot more understated in the Armani, and it's impossible to overcook it (whereas it is incredibly easy to overcook the NARS, especially on a pale skin, and end up looking feverish.)

I like this blush in the winter with a rosy/berry lip. It works particularly well with Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick, and with the rose and wine Armani Lip Waxes. (Incidentally, what a horrid name for a lip colour. A Lip Wax sounds like something you depilate with.)

  1. I hate the name of the lip waxes.. it sounds like a procedure to remove lip fuzz... so not sexy if your hubby reads the reciept!!

    Love the look of the blushes but i have dupes for so many of them im trying to resist!!

  2. Gorgeous colours, looks very autumnal and natuarl (know what you man about the feverish blush).
    I havent tried any Armani cosmetics, I have some Versace items, but have been trying to dowsize bit (which is very hard when I keep seeing so many lovely items!!

  3. Oh no, i'm really trying not to buy any new beauty products between now and Christmas (Santa has a very long list!), but this looks divine and perfect for the festive season! I have the sheer blush in 2 and its definitely one of the best I own. i also feel the need to rush to boots at lunchtime and buy black honey - a forgotten classic! (have you tried honey tea by shiseido it was all the rage a few years ago - a stunning sheer red/brown and the only lipstick i've ever repurchased!).

  4. Can one have hairy lips I wonder? This looks wonderful. I have yet to try Armani blushes. I do so like their Mascara though.

  7. I've got No. 10 myself and I totally agree with you...Armani blushers are much better than NARS in the shimmer and naturalness department.

  9. @Tali - isn't it a dreadful name for a product?

    Hi Emma - I find Armani quite hit and miss; some stuff is lovely, some just doesn't work on me at all. Resist that temptation ;)

    Hi Amina - I've never heard of that Shisedo lipstick but I love the name; I shall have to keep an eye out for it.

    Hey Em *backs away slowly* not really, lol, I know what you mean. Thanks :)

    Hi OC - I am sure it's possible. Haven't tried the mascara, but I've heard it's good. x

    Hey Vanilla - I know!

    Hi Jamilla - they are really good for a more natural look.

    Hello DINKY - It used to be a pain to get (only counter was in Harvey Nichols) but it's much better now it's in Selfridges. x
