Review: Gourmet Body Treats Whipped Mousse Blush

If you want to give your blush some staying power, it's best to add some layers. A makeup artist friend of mine recommended using cream blushes under powders, which is a great technique for long-lasting bridal makeup. However, most natural cream blushes use beeswax or carmine. Gourmet Body Treats Whipped Mousse Blush is a rare gem both for its great vegan ingredients as well as its light, fluffy texture.


Pros:

• Nice, light mousse texture
• A little goes a long way
• Easy to apply
• Cream formulation suitable for vegans (no beeswax)
• Versatile, matte finish
