Lush Oxford Street Elated Blusher

Along with the 'Lovely' blusher, these are the two new shades of blush in the Oxford Street makeup range. That lucky for me, the Manchester Arndale store features the entirety of. On my makeup journey, I've learnt an important fact. That your face isn't all one colour. So when you plaster that foundation on, it's going to look weird. You need a bronzer, blusher, and highlighter to make it look like natural makeup, if that makes sense.

From never owning a blusher before, there was something very exciting when I purchased Elated. A beautiful sunkissed pink that I imagine as an autumn companion in the makeup box. When compared to the 'Lovely' blusher which features a bright baby pink, Elated is the more natural shade of the two.

The great thing about the new powder design is that not all the powder is exposed. With a second lid with holes that spell out "Lush" means you can control the amount better. You either apply the powder with a puff or a brush, needing a tiny amount because of the high pigmentation. I find it blends well into the skin, creating a natural glow.


When looking at the ingredients it really baffles me how Lush founders think of everything. With Organic Rose Hip Oil, known for providing vitamin A which improves skin tone. Not only that but Rose Hip Oil contains antioxidants that combat damage caused by UV rays from the Sun. In addition, this little powder incorporates Organic Jojoba Oil, which hydrates the skin. Along with talc to control oil and keep skin matte, and is used as a preservative.


However, when you compare price to size, it can look a little daunting. But when you consider, the market street ones are thinner and compressed, there is actually more in this tiny looking tub. With the high pigmentation, I can't see myself ever needing to re-stock. Overall, I'm impressed by this blusher and it may even be one of my favourite makeup items.
