Don’t get me wrong, diamonds are fabulous, but blush really is a girl’s best friend. Just a swirl of color on the cheeks makes the face look alive, girlish and pretty.

Right now I’m loving J. Lynne Soft Silk Mineral Blush. It’s top-notch mineral makeup that won’t blow out the budget.

The blushes are highly pigmented and blend beautifully, providing a lasting flush. And, with a broad range of peaches, pinks and plums, the color selection is simply wonderful.

My favorite shades are Crush, a deep warm pink, Samba, a rose pink, and Flamenco, a warm peach.

For those who have never used mineral blush, it just requires the tiniest sprinkle possible of product per application, so one container lasts and lasts. Try ordering a sample collection–at $9 for 6 shades, it’s a steal.
