Dainty Doll Blusher 'You Are My Sunshine'


Dainty Doll Powder Blush 'You Are My Sunshine'

As I'm sure you all know, Fragrance Direct had a lot of Dainty Doll stock recently at brilliant prices. Some of the products were terrible, no use to man nor beast BUT the blushers I ordered are flippin' brilliant! I loved them so much that I placed another order. The blushers have sold out now but you can still find them at full price (£13.50) from the likes of Boots. Who wants to pay full price though?! After a snoop online I found them on HalfPricePerfumes they are slightly more expensive at £3.99 for cream blushers and £6.50 for powder blushers but still nowhere near their RRP.

'You Are My Sunshine' is 'Orange County Girl' (swatches) in powder form. It's a gorgeous soft peachy gold shade and a lot more pigmented than OCG making it great for anyone who isn't very pale. I don't think much colour will show up on darker skintones but it would make a lovely highlighter. I've been wearing it on it's own or dusting a tiny bit on top of OCG to help it last a bit longer throughout the day.

The formula is soft and smooth, doesn't highlight enlarged pores or cling to any dry areas. The compact is really sturdy, shuts securely and has a good sized mirror. I don't have any complaints :)

What do you think of Dainty Doll Blushers?
How many did you get your hands on while they were only £1.99?

      I haven't tried Coralista but the swatches always look so pretty! Think Coralista might be more on the pink side.

      Orange County Girl is so nice isn't it. :) I love how it isn't a thick cream.

      It is really pigmented but if you use a light hand you get more sheen than colour.

      It's a lovely S/S colour and I love how it doubles as highlighter.

      Haven't been in Tk Maxx in ages but saw someone else say they had loads of stock and were selling them in bundles?

    very very pretty! It kind of reminds me of MAC's style blush but maybe a bit more amped up in colour. Definitely my go to colour ranges

      The concealer pen is an absolute joke, so glad I only paid £1.99 for it! I can't fault the blush though, they're so nice.

    Are the blushers good then? I've not heard anything positive about the foundations or the concealoers.

      The few I've tried are really good. I haven't tried the foundation but the concealers are terrible!
