The Formula: Airy, Buildable, and Skin-Loving

True to its name, Color Cloud has a featherlight, mousse-like texture that melts into the skin, delivering a sheer, natural flush you can build up. The formula is enriched with skincare ingredients like Camellia oil and Shea oil. Which help nourish and soften the skin while you wear it. I love how it leaves a velvety, second-skin finish without any greasiness or sticky residue.

It’s the kind of blush that works perfectly on bare skin for a fresh. No-makeup look or layered over foundation for a more polished finish.

The Shades: A Colour for Every Mood

• 1 Tawny is a warm, peachy nude that adds subtle warmth and definition to the cheeks. It’s my everyday pick when I want a natural, sun-kissed glow that pairs well with minimal makeup and glossy lips.
• 2 Rosy is the quintessential soft pink — fresh, feminine, and flattering on just about every skin tone. I’ve been reaching for this one on days when I want to look instantly awake and a little more put-together.
• 3 Berry is a deeper, rich plum-pink that adds a hint of drama in the prettiest way. It’s stunning for evening looks or cooler months when you want a more sophisticated flush.

Why I’m Obsessed

What makes Sisley Paris Color Cloud stand out is how seamlessly it blends. Whether you use fingers, a brush, or a sponge. It never looks patchy or heavy, and it lasts impressively well throughout the day. Plus, the sleek tube packaging makes it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.

Final Thoughts

If you’re after a luxe, skin-loving cream blush with natural, buildable colour and a dreamy texture. Sisley’s Color Cloud is one worth adding to your beauty bag. Trust me — your cheeks will thank you. It is so easy to apply that I could do it without a mirror. The texture allows an even and quick blend of the product.

Another staple these days is the Phyto-Lip Balm in Shade 4, which is a new addition to the range (review here). The Sensitive Skin Soothing Care (review here) is my go-to when my skin is behaving and in general.

Fall in love with the “Nars Orgasm”

It's time to discover another limited edition from Nars cosmetics yet again in 2023. Designed to set alive all your sensations, this pink dream is sure to keep you looking cute this Valentine's.

The Nars Orgasm Collection

Valentine's day is quickly closing in, and this set is a perfect match for offering a gift. Mixing pleasure and beauty, the Orgasm collection hits all the right spots for getting your glam on. The collection comprises eye, lip and cheek products in beautiful pink shades. Today I will be reviewing the two blushers from the collection.

Orgasm Four Play Blush Quad

Not double, but four times the trouble. This blusher palette is complete with four shades of the iconic Orgasm range. These highly pigmented pressed powders tint your cheeks with a warm shade of pink. This palette also contains some pretty highlighters. Ultra-light on the skin, you can wear it and forget it. The high-pigmented blushers blend perfectly, helping warm your face and leave a natural shimmer. Mix and match the shades to make a blush as unique as you are.

Below are the shades in Orgasm Four Play Blush Quad with descriptions:

• SWINGER – Golden shimmer
• ORGASM – Peachy pink with golden shimmer
• ORGASM X – Satin deep coral pink
• ORGASM RUSH – Rosy bronze

The Multiple (shade Orgasm Rush)

If you prefer a liquid or cream blusher, this stick should make you happy. As the name mentions, this stick has multiple uses. It can be used on the eyes, lips, cheeks and body for a touch of pink goodness. Extra-cute in its baby pink casing, the limited edition is available in two shades: Orgasm rush and Peach pink.

The orgasm rush blusher stick can add structure to the face or body. The sticks are non-greasy and slide onto the skin effortlessly. Who doesn't love a cheeky rose pop to their look? The multiple adds a touch of seduction and innocence to your makeup. Long-lasting, the sticks can be taken with you on the go.

My Review

After trying both products, I prefer the blusher palette. Easy to apply using a brush, the shades melt into your natural skin carnation, leaving a healthy and glowing finish. Nars have released limited editions in gift sets that are well worth the price. What a beautiful gift for valentines day. For lips, I still love their Powermatte lipstick; the formula is so beautiful and pigmented.

My Experience

Stick blushers have become a favourite of mine after trying this brand. Quick, easy and mess-free, these sticks bring a pop of colour to your everyday makeup. The sticks can be applied to the cheek and blended to perfection. They have a great size to travel with but must be kept from heat. I selected the soft shade of Dou Dou. The blushers are available in a gift set: The petal edition trio.

The finished look is natural, and I enjoyed the lightly scented textures. The blushers deliver a medium coverage and also look great on the lips. Lightweight and grease-free, all skin types can use these sticks.

Other favourites to check from the brand are Vital Pressed Skincare Powder and Vital Skin Foundation Stick. For lips, I love Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm.
