What I Say:
I instantly fell in love with the Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush, all those pretty pink
hearts were just too cute. Almost such a shame to use the blusher and ruin the
pretty design. I also recently reviewed the Happy Booster Glow & Mood
Boosting Powder, if you haven’t seen my review, you can see it here.
I trialled the
blush in colour Rose, which contains a light to darker variety of pink
in complementary tones, all with various amounts of glitter and sheen. At first
I was a little worried that it would be too dark as well as it would be way too
shiny and glittery, something that having combination skin, which often shines
in the ladder part of the day, I just don’t like. But I needn’t have worried as
it just adds a subtle touch of glow and sheen to my cheeks.
As for the colours, even though they look dark in the
compact, and I thought that it was better suited to those with darker skin
tones. Again I did not need to worry, once applied they are more soft and
glowing pink on your cheeks, looking very natural and sheer, so perfectly for
those with fair skin. However, it can still easily be layered for a more
intense look.
The colours in the compact blend together for a nice overall
blush to the cheeks, leaving behind a nice radiance as well. For extra pop of
colour, or for a darker look, it is easy to simply just sweep the brush over
one of the darker hearts and apply it to your cheeks to define and contour, or
apply right below the cheekbones for a more defined and dramatic look. Using one
of the lighter colours on and it works as a highlighter too.
The blusher is
ultra-smooth and light weight, and the pigments are so finely milled that it
blends easily, and feels comfortable to wear, as well as it looks natural on
the skin. It has a good staying power, and I find that I do not need to touch
up doing the day.
The Happy Booster
Glow & Mood Boosting Blush is infused with Euphoryl (natural plant
extracts) claimed to promote the feeling of happiness by mimicking the effect
of endorphins and helping protect the skin from environmental stress. To be
very honest, I do not think that using the Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder made me any happier!
The Blush is
further more enriched with a violet scent – which was also the first thing I
noticed when I took the powder out if its packaging. The fragrance does not last on my skin at all,
and while this is a lovely touch, and while this does not cause any
issues for my skin, I would prefer it to be fragrance free.
The Happy Booster Blush is hypo-allergenic, dermatologist
approved, non-comedogenic as well as paraben free, which is all fantastic, but
again as mentioned above, I also wish that it was perfume free.
The Blush comes in
a pink metallic compact that I must admit I find a little too bulky. In saying
that, I do not normally carry my blusher around with me for touch ups during
the day, so I can certainly see past this. As for the metallic pink colour of
the case, I find that it looks a little too girly and cheap. But I do like that
it has a compartment containing the little brush as well as a mirror, both of
which are handy for touch ups on the go.
The brush is half pink and half red
and quite cute, although I find that it is a little too stiff, and quickly found
that it scraped the pretty design, as well as it is so small that it allow you
sweep it over all the colours in the palette, making it more difficult to
achieve an even look. I found I got a much nicer and a more even result from
using one of my own soft blush brushes.
The powder retails
for $21.95, and all in all it is a fantastic buy, that will give my face a much
needed pop of colour. I highly recommend it, and would
consider purchasing again in the future.

When using a soft blush brush the heart pattern lasts surprisingly long!!
DeleteI just got one of these and I agree that the packaging is a little too girly, and I would also prefer it to be perfume free, but it seems to be a nice blusher. Nice review!

Thanks heaps Danielle. But I guess on the other hand the packaging is different to anything else outthere, so at least it stands out!!
