VIVO Baked Blush - Peaches and Cream



Once again I ended up in my local Tesco store yesterday. Which is never good for my purse. Constantly buying things that I don't actually need... So after browsing the clothes section, (there are a lot of nice chiffon blouses at the moment, I've picked up 3 now!) I headed to the next best section - cosmetics. I then found myself at the VIVO stand at the end of the aisle. Straightaway my attention was drawn to the baked blushes. There were 4 shades in total, I believe they were all more of a pink shade, so this shade caught my eye. It's a warm peach shade, with a small hint of pink, which completely warms up complexions. When swatching the product, it felt soft and smooth, and the colour pay-off was great. Very pigmented, with a light sheen. For a product that cost £4 the pigmentation is amazing!

For me, the packaging just doesn't really do it. I also have a lipstick from the range, and I really don't like the casing for it. Quite big and chunky, and the cheap metallic look, which also appears on the back of this blush. I do like the clear lid where you can see the product, because the blush itself is beautiful! I am quite besotted with it to be honest! I would really recommend trying out these blushes, if you love a blush that isn't matte, and will you give you a natural glow without looking like a disco ball(!) for £4 you really can't grumble. Check your local tesco when you're next shopping! Make-up and food? The way to most girls hearts!





Looking a bit trampy, and you can't really tell the colour on my cheeks, but hopefully you get the idea...?! I'll try and do a better picture.

Have you bought anything from VIVO yet? What do you think of supermarkets branching out into clothing and cosmetics? Any other high streets gems you could recommend?

  3. Couldn't agree more Ashlie! I want to try their highlighter next, it's only £5 and when I swatched it, it was really pigmented! x

    I recommend it Grace! The other colours look really nice too, but I'm more of a coral/peach coloured blush girl :) x
