Hello gorgeous ladies,
NYX is on a roll with new product launches which started at the beginning of this year. When I had access to these gorgeous products, I did some major damage to my wallet and purchased several of these new items. Right from the awesome pastel liquid liners to the prismatic eye shadows and the all in one palettes, I had to try all of them. Today I’d like to share with you my thoughts on the new High Definition Blush in Intuition.
Price – CAD 8 (INR 400/- approx.) |BUY THIS PRODUCT HERE|
My Experience with NYX High Definition Blush Intuition:
Packaging: NYX HD Blushes come in a slim and sleek black compact with a cute ribbon closure which is the signature NYX bow clasp. They blush weighs 0.16 oz in size. I think that the amount of product you get is quite generous for the price of just 8 dollars. All in all, I love NYX’s new packaging!
Colour: The shade Intuition is somewhat like the NARS Orgasm blush. It’s like a peachy-pink shade that contains fine gold glitter which can only be seen in person and not on the skin or pictures. I thought this shade was going to be quite shimmery based on how it looks in the pan, but it actually isn’t super shimmery on the skin and has more of a soft, shimmery sheen instead.
Pigmentation: These babies are crazy pigmented, so much so that the pigmentation can be an issue for a blush! This blush is intensely pigmented and you’re going to need a very light hand during application, even if your skin tone is deep. But still I feel like no matter how lightly apply, I end up having clown cheeks. I feel I am going to have to use the rest of the blush as an eye shadow!
Texture: The texture of these blushes is super powdery. NYX calls this blush “silky” but it isn’t quite silky to me! It is sure powdery, but not dry nor chalky. And since these are so powdery, it tends to pick up a lot of product in the brush and end up being so pigmented on the cheeks.
Longevity: Also, the staying power is extremely impressive. The wear is incredible at around eight hours without fading. I can easily get a full day’s wear from both of these shades, even on my oily skin.
Quality: Overall I would say these blushes have excellent price, super duper pigmentation, excellent staying power, but the texture of these blushes is quite powdery in my opinion. They are extremely powdery during application, though not powdery-looking on the skin and quite fragile. So I am iffy about this blush, but I think I can make it work.
Pros of NYX High Definition Blush Intuition:
• Awesome packaging with pretty bow details.

Cons of NYX High Definition Blush Intuition:
• Use a light hand otherwise you’ll end up with clown cheeks.
• Uncertain availability in India.
IMBB Rating: 4.5/5 (I never thought I will deduct any points for extra pigmentation!!) |BUY THIS PRODUCT HERE|
Will I Recommend/Repurchase NYX High Definition Blush Intuition?
Although the NYX HD Blushes are cheap, super pigmented, and long wearing, I’m just not terribly impressed with them. The formula just didn’t really do it for me! If you can grab some on sale you might want to check them out but personally I think there are a lot of other budget blushes around that perform better. It’s up to you to decide ladies.
