When a 'drugstore' brand release something new, I am usually an eager beaver and jump to the chance of trying the new product out. But this time it was different with the Bourjois Aqua Blushes, I didn't really fancy them and then the other week I was browsing Boots.com as you do and they magically appeared in my basket. Oops. After testing them out for a few weeks I thought of sharing my thoughts and swatches of the two that I have.

My Thoughts
It is recommended my Bourjois that you take small amount of the blush using your finger and then tap it on to your cheeks to spread the colour out. The blush blends out amazing, and a few little taps and it will spread over your cheeks.
I've always been scared of using liquid/cream blushes in case they look awful on my face but these have been really easy to use, and the light-weight formula makes it easier and allows you to build up the colour gradually. It didn't turn patchy as the day went on, it just disappeared within a few hours not 12 hours! This meant I had to re-apply which was a big faff, maybe because it is a gel formula and not really cream which is meant to last longer.
Currently, I am using these with my fingers but I think I need to invest in a stippling brush as this will help with the application. p.s they smell amazing!
Overall
I'm over the moon with this range of blushes from Bourjois, they are really pretty colours and my favourite shade of the two is --- because it looks natural on the skin and gives you face a fresh glow. I took them away with me and found it lasted longer than normal blush, but don't think in the winter they would be great with my dry skin.
