Burberry Light Glow Blush in Tangerine

Last weekend I broke down on my desire to keep my makeup collection well edited, and went through with a epic haul and included in this was Burberry Light Glow Blush in Tangerine.  I went to the Burberry counter intending to purchase the new for Fall eyeshadow in Mulberry and I have had my eye on this blush for ages...and so it goes.

Another orangey coral blush. 

The texture of the Burberry powders is amazing and if you have ever walked by a counter or swatched a shadow then you know exactly what I mean.  It is what draws me in, the soft, silky feel of the powder on my skin.  Next it is the color- just the right amount of orange and coral with the perfect amount of warmth to perk up the skin.  There is nothing that I love more than the sun kissed bronzed look of golds and corals and fine shimmers a la Jennifer Lopez. Hence the alarming amount of bronzers, and coral blushes and lip colors taking over my collection.  Even with labor day approaching I intend to rock this blush to pick me up out of the winter blues. It can be applied sheerly for a subtle look or more heavily for a contoured look. 

The Burberry Light Glow Blush in Tangerine retails for $42 and is available at Saks and Nordstrom.  For other shades check out The Beauty Look Book and her comprehensive review of all the shades in the range.  For me, this is a must have for medium- tan skins.
