Big Apple Blush is a pink creme blush. Although the name says Big "Apple", it is not much of an apple shade, but a lot pinker (almost like the inside of strawberries). It has a semi-matte finish, so it is not completely matte. It has a subtle sheen to it, but unlike Berry New Yorker, this does not have shimmer in it compared to Berry New Yorker. After using Berry New Yorker for a while, I finally decided to start using another one of the NYC creme blushes that I purchased. As of now, I believe they're still available at some Dollar Tree stores since I saw some this past week. The application of the Big Apple Blush is incredibly smooth. I thought the Berry New Yorker one had a smooth application, but this is way smoother & it blends a lot easier to me. When I first apply it, it looks like it can be a harsh pink, but after blending it out, it is a very wearable pink, which I like!
If you have a chance to still get this blush, I totally recommend it. The only downside to me is the smell. It smells like lipsticks that my mom used to buy when I was 5, which is kind of gross, but the scent does not transfer onto your skin after applying it. When compared to Berry New Yorker, this is definitely a brighter color, whereas Berry New Yorker is more brown-ish. What are your thoughts on the NYC Creme Blushes?
I have this one, and it is my favorite shade from the line.
ReplyDeleteCompared to Berry New Yorker, I have to choose this one too! It's so smooth!
DeleteThese were discontinued recently, so I would suggest you get them while you can if you're interested. Personally, I got a couple from the dollar store myself after hearing lots of positive things about them on the Nouveau Cheap blog. Your post confirms that they're definitely worth trying.
ReplyDeleteTotally sucks they're discontinued :( they're still floating around at a few dollar tree's and this color is awesome! & it lasts on my cheeks too! :D
