Hey guys! Sorry that this post is a day late, I tried to write it yesterday but I never got the time. At least it is the half term now though and the next holiday will be Christmas! Today's post is about the Bourjois' Little Round Pot Blush, in the shades Rose Pompon and Rose Mandarine. I hadn't actually heard a huge amount about these in the past, I'm not quite sure why though! The Little Round Pot Blush was created 150 years ago, which is pretty impressive because I haven't heard of many (if any) makeup products that have been around that long.
Rose Pompon is a light rose shade and Rose Mandarine is a terracotta/peach shade, although they are both completely matte. Since they are matte I think they would look lovely in Winter, especially Rose Pompon as it would give a natural "rosy" hint without being glittery!
The formulation is very soft and smooth, and they blend really well, which makes them quick and easy to apply. Both shades are extremely pigmented so you need to be careful not to use too much, especially with Rose Mandarine as you will end up looking rather orange. I only use a little bit on a brush so I can see each of these pots lasting me for ages!
Each blush comes with a built-in mirror and a little brush that fits in easily over the dome of the blush. Personally I don't find the brush to be of any use, but I guess it would be alright if you needed a little touch up during the day! The lasting power is average as it only lasts about 3-4 hours, which isn't very good considering they cost £7.99 each and I had hoped they would be better in that respect.
Overall I do really like the Bourjois Little Round Pot Blushes, they definitely aren't the best if you want something that lasts a long time though! If you just need them to last for a few hours then I really do think that they are lovely, plus there is a great selection of 15 shades.
Have you ever tried a Bourjois Little Round Pot Blush?
I have 2 of these little babies..and I love them! Although you're right in saying that they don't have much lasting power, I always find that I look really pale at the end of the night. :(

It's a shame really, you would honestly think, having been around for 150 years, they would have better lasting power!
