New Maybelline Dream Bouncy vs. TopShop Blushes

As soon as New Maybelline Dream Bouncy came out, I literally ran to my local CVS and bought them. (Ulta had but one half off deal but they didn't have them. They are availabe online for now) I had to pay full price for these at CVS which was $8.39 each. I was thought about to wait for buy one half off deal but I don't wanna wait that long. I was looking for a pretty baby pink and a pretty orange blush for really long time. I was tired for another waiting. The colors that I picked up were looked like what I was looking for.   I got two colors:
#30 Candy Coral and #45 Orchid Hush.




As you can see, the packaging is absolutely cute!
I love the clear top, I can easily see the colors.
You are going to get 5.6g/19oz which is great amount.
My Mac Mineral blushes comes only 3 oz. Comparing with Mac, it's better.


The texture is very creamy. It contains lot of shimmers. Really it was a lot.
It's too much for me. I like shimmer for eye shadow or high lighter but not for blushes.
So this is definately not the one that I was looking for.
I was looking for matte finish.


Also, the color is very sheer. You really have to rubbing and rubbing.. to get the colors.
I was expecting little bit of shimmer from the Orchid Hush but  not from the Candy coral.
Colors are shimmery than it looks. Plus, the coral color comes out little more redish than it looks. 



After I was testing the Maybelline blushes, I reallized that I actually bought similar colors from TopShop recently. It happens. (a lot) I already have them but I forgot. And buy another one. LOL
This is the packaging:


The Colors that I got: TopShop Powdered and Head Over Heels.

Packagings are absolutely adorable! I just love their packaging. It's kinda soft plastice white packaing.
It contains about 5g/0.176 oz. It's little smaller than Maybellin Bouncy blushes. But the price is higher than Maybelline. I paid $14 each. (Topshop give 10% student discount. If you are a student, don't forget about this!)
The texture of TopShop blush is creamy powdered type. It is hard to decribe but it really feels like creamy and at the same time it feels powdery. Oh, I got an idea. It feels like cream comapct foundation. If you've evered used it, you know how it feels.
The colors come out little lighter than what I saw. The colors in the packaging looked little bit crazy. To me, it almost looked like neon colors. But No worries! Once I applied them, it came out really natural pink and orange colors. Both of colors are very wearable. Plus, NO SHIMMERS!
When I wear them I'm just dabbing on my cheecks with circular motions.



Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blushes are creamy soft  texture and has shimmers.
Price is about $7~$8.50 USD

TopShop Blushes are creamy powdered texture and no shimmers. Matte finish,
Price is $14 USD

I would give thumb down for Maybelline Bouncy Blushes, only reason is the SHIMMER.
But I love TopShop blushes!
