VIVO Baked Blush in Peaches and Cream

By Behindtheseclosedeyes @theseclosedeyes
After mentioning this blush in my most recent Friday favourites post, I thought it was about time I got some swatches and a review added for you. This is a baked blush from VIVO, a budget make-up brand available in selected larger Tesco stores, and I own the shade Peaches and Cream which I thought would be great for a healthy glow in the summer months. This was my first experience of a baked blush so of course I was going in with an open mind, and after swatching it in store I knew I had to have it! First of all, the packaging isn't anything outstanding which was to be expected from a more affordable brand, with a chunky and clear  plastic compact displaying the brand name and product type. As the blush is baked, it comes in the dome shape which I find to be great for getting the product onto your brush as pick-up is a lot easier.
VIVO Baked Blush in Peaches and Cream, £4
The blush is described as "a stunning blush with pink undertones to give all over warmth and color to your complexion", which I think is a very fitting description. In the pan the blush appears to be a mixture of solid peach with some pink tones throughout, and when swatched on skin I find the blush to take on more of an orange toned peach which is equally as nice. I find this shade to be very flattering on my pale skin as it provides a more healthy looking glow as opposed to a more obvious pink on the cheeks, especially coming into the summer months when my foundation will be replaced by a tinted moisturiser or BB cream. I like the wear time of this blush as I can vouch for it still being visible on my cheeks after a long day, with a gradual fading rather than doing a total vanishing act. All in all I'm very happy with this baked blush and at just £4 you can't go wrong, and with a surprising 8g of product you are certainly getting your moneys worth. After a few months of use I still haven't made a dent in the dome, so just imagine how long this could last you. Well done VIVO, and I'll definitely be looking into more from the brand in the future!
