Thank you NYC Colors and Rimmel!
This is a long overdue thank you post for the NYC Colors makeup and lip gloss and Rimmel mascara I received from these 2 brands through the Influenster network. Thank you very much for sending me those fancy makeups which I have added to my cosmetics to use.
I love that they took the time to show their appreciation to the bloggers who really fared well during the campaign they had in Influenster few months ago (Jolly Vox Box). I’m glad I made the cut because their brands are worth promoting!
Thank you and more success!

Review - Ageless Derma Pressed Mineral Blush Primrose
I am very finicky when it comes to putting anything on my face especially makeup because I have sensitive skin. One harsh makeup and my face will turn red and blotchy. I always go for mineral makeup or anything that is safe for sensitive skin and hypoallergenic. So, receiving the Ageless Derma Pressed Mineral Blush in Primrose color few days ago was a perfect timing as I need to revamp my makeup kit.
I tried the blush using my small blush brush and applied twice on each cheeks and the initial application already gave the results I wanted - flawless and natural-looking. I am just eager to share to you my findings so you can purchase this too and see for yourself. Well of course, you have to consider that my skin may react differently from yours so this review is based entirely on my own feedback.
Here is a photo of the before and after application. I captured this without a flash and not enhanced in any way.
What I like:
It is very light! I just noticed how it blended well with my skin tone. I got the primrose color and it is the perfect color for my face.
It didn't feel chalky or powdery.
Free from parabens. Parabens are synthetic preservatives used in cosmetics, lotions, food and drugs.
It didn't make my face shiny unlike the other blush powder I have used in the past. It's definitely non-greasy.
It is very smooth on the skin like a velvety finish.
It covered my freckles and other blemishes.
The packaging is simple without the frills of other branded make-up I have bought. I like it a lot because sometimes, the best packagings are the ones that are simple and straight to the point.
What I don't like:
Nothing. One suggestion though, it would be nice to have a free brush with the make-up as a kit.
Price:
Suggested retail price is $25.00 (US)
Packaging:
It is packed in a vacuum-packed plastic container with a clear top weighing .21 oz/6g to avoid breakage and contamination.
It comes in a black box with simple logo marking of the manufacturer.
Ingredients:
The blush mineral's other ingredients listed are the following:
Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Boron Nitride, Octyl Palmitate, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Cyclomethione, Green Tea Extract (Carmellia Sinesis), Superoxide Dismutase & Catalase & Apple Extract (Pyrus Malus) & Horseradish (Cochlearia Armoracia) & Phospholipids & Retinyl Palmitate & Tocopheryl Acetate & Butylene Glycol, Lavender, Sandalwood, Geranium, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, Rosemary, Sage, Cedarwood, Palmarosa.
It may also contain: Iron Oxide, Bismuth Oxychloride, Manganese Violet, Chromium Oxide Green, Ultramarines, Carmine
My recommendation:
Definitely two-thumbs up and do give it a try! Do choose the best color for your skin tone to compliment your complexion.
