Midnight Roses

When it comes to high end products, I am not usually tempted by collections. The reason for this is when I usually get my hopes up about a product it sells out before I can get my hands on it. However in Lancome's Midnight Roses Collection there was one product that I did manage to get my hands on, and that was their Midnight Rose Highlighting blush. This beautiful pink toned highlighter is embossed with the design of a rose, and if the design isn't enough to make you want it, the performance of the product is amazing.







This highlighter is a frosty pale pink colour. It swatches with not a sparkle or a glitter but with simply a beautiful, radiant glow. Lancome call this a highlighting blush but on my pale skin I don't find I get enough pink pigment to use this as a blush. However I have however enjoyed layering this product over other blushes to give a beautiful glow to the cheeks. I have also noticed on my cheeks it does not emphasize my imperfections or make me look shiny/oily, as some other products have.


This highlighter wears all day on me and it stays looking glowy on my skin. I know this is product I will get a lot of use out of all year round, as it will compliment both pale winter looks and glowing summer looks. I have been using this highlighter almost every day since I got it.



This retails for a whopping $75 in Australia, but I got mine for $42 from Nordstroms, and used PriceUSA as a shipping forwarder. If I had the money to burn I would buy a couple of backups. This product is amazing, I cannot recommend it enough.

    Just gorgeous! It looks so nice on your fair complexion! I've always admired how they packaged their cheek products. I'm in love with one of their blushes but yet to get a full size! happy new years!
