SACHA Cosmetics: Blushes

Hi everyone. 
Today's make-up post features a brand that a lot of you may not know about.

Their press release states that:

Sacha Cosmetics was founded thirty years ago in Trinidad by Kama Maharaj. Today, the brand dominates the local market and is the only line of makeup that can be worn by women with exotic skin, regardless of ancestry. It is distributed throughout the Caribbean and positioned in high-end beauty outlets.
I first started using Sacha in 2000 when I went to Trinidad and Tobago to pursue my undergraduate studies.  I was new to make-up, having only dabbled in foundations by Revlon and cover girl. At the time I knew nothing about undertones and color matching and often ended up with products that were too light for my skin tone. I have used Sacha's foundations and pressed powders which I've always found to be too heavy and cakey; their lip glosses which can be a bit too 'oily' when applied and their blushes which I actually like.

Their blushes are definitely one of my favorite products from them. They are inexpensive, pigmented and show up beautifully on the skin. I find them to be a bit difficult to blend but that's nothing that a little patience won't fix. Here are the pics!





Now while I like these blushes, I also think that there are better brands out there that are also inexpensive and easily accessible that I'd pick up many times over these. I have them, so I'll use them but I may not repurchase as I don't think they're anything special even if they're not stuff that I'd chuck out because I dislike them.

Have any of you tried these? What say you?

Updates/Where I've been/Upcoming posts

Well it's certainly been a minute. I've not been very busy but I am currently on vacation and recently returned from a trip to Trinidad and Tobago. So what have I been up to?

1. The bf and I parted ways. I've never talked about him in previous posts the way other bloggers do because I've been intent on keeping this blog limited to make-up and everything makeup related but it's been over a year and I've decided that maybe it's time to be a bit more personal with my posts...or maybe not...we'll see.

2. I did a mini makeup haul in Trinidad and I'll be making posts soon :)

3. I've been super obsessed with my Blackberry playbook lately and have been spending a lot of time just reading. I used to spend a ton of money buying books but these days I've been getting my fix through my playbook and this great (free) e-book site that I found called Free Book Spot. Even if you don't have an e-reader you can read from your PC (if you're so inclined).It's a fantastic site and I love it.

4. I LOVE Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series. I'm currently reading Shopaholic and Sister and it's hilarious! All the books are. I think anyone with a shopping addiction can identify with her (although she does go a bit overboard at times) and they're a perfect way to pass the time if you don't want to wrap your brain around anything with more depth. 

5. I've been featured on yet another website!!! Quite an honor and I'm psyched to be on the Top 50 blogs for 2011. I found out because I usually take a look at my blog stats to see where my readership comes from and I was extremely elated to see that I was listed. :)



So that's me for now. I have a review (and pictures) of the UD Naked Palette to do, some NYX Jumbo Eye and Lip Pencil reviews, some SACHA cosmetics blushes and a few MAC lipsticks! I hope everyone's okay and stay tuned. 

xoxo
