Until recently I had always
used powder blusher, and as it worked well for me, I never really had any
interest in trying cream blush. But due to the unpredictable British weather
over the past few months, my skin started to dry out, and my trusty powder
blusher served only to highlight the problem. So I started my search for the
perfect cream blush alternative, and discovered Stila Convertible Colours!
I came across Stila Convertible
Colours in Boots, and after a fair amount of swatching (much to by boyfriend's
annoyance as we must have been stood at the Stila counter for a good 15
minutes), I decided on the colour Lillium. This is the darker shade of the two
shown below, which is a natural dusky pink toned blush.
But if one blusher is good, two
must be better! So as soon as I returned home I searched online for Stila
Convertible Colours, and found the Stila UK website. On the website there is a
much wider variety of colours, and I was immediately attracted to some of the
brighter shades that are not available in Boots, and I ended up ordering
another Stila Convertible Colour in Petunia. This is a much brighter, coral
pink toned blush.

I originally started applying my Stila Convertible Colours just with my fingers, which did work quite well, but I sometimes found it difficult to achieve an even coverage. So instead, I invested in a Real Techniques Stippling Blush (review to follow), which I feel works much better.
