Dainty Doll - Nicola Roberts Blusher Review

I did a Fragrance Direct Haul about a month back and promised a review of my Dainty Doll items so here it is!
 These are the two powder blushers I purchased in the colours 'My Girl' and 'You Are My Sunshine'. They're both gorgeous colours and as I'm ridiculously pale, I loved the idea that these colours were put together with specifically pale people in mind so therefore should compliment my skin tone! Both colours are pretty scary looking. 'My Girl' is a bright glittery pink and 'You Are My Sunshine' is a really sparkly reddish, bronze colour!

 Here are both blushers swatched with 'My Girl' on the left and 'You Are My Sunshine' on the right. As you can see, they are really pigmented, not like those blushers that you have to swirl your brush in for a good five minutes before you get any colour whatsoever!
 And again with the flash. All in all, I love these blushers and have been going between the two since I bought them a month ago. They are extremely pigmented so it's easy to be a bit too heavy handed and end up looking like a clown but that's simply something you just have to learn to adjust to. I think I prefer 'My Girl' as it's a pretty pink that I think you can tell in the picture above goes with my skin tone a lot better. At the moment I'm not really sure I can pull of the bronzier tones of 'You Are My Sunshine' and it is SO sparkly. You definitely don't need highlighter with either of these at the risk of looking super shiny. They also last all day which is pretty amazing. I can get home after being out all day and my blusher still looks like I did when I put it on or maybe even slightly better because I think these do look a bit better when faded slightly and so are less abrupt! I defintely recommend them, especially at the bargain price of £1.99 instead of £13.50!
