ARIANA!
So I bought this JUST because of the fact that it's named MY name! Also because of the fact that the manufacturer's finally got the spelling of it right and doesn't have two n's in it. But other than that gleeful fact, it's Kevyn Aucoin whom I've heard such great things about. The shade of it is perfectly subtle in just the right ways but also knows how to be noticed in just the right way. I ordered this on my own but my mom also knows that I've been wanting this so I secretly hope she ordered me one for Christmas just so I can have a back up one ready!
Ariana is slightly pinker than it appears
For weeks I was lusting after this blush in the new color "Ariana". It appeared to be such a vibrant, glowing peach color online. In fact, it looked like my skin tone, but luminous. I needed that color on my cheeks! I bit the bullet and ordered it, not really knowing what to expect--I wasn't sure if the color would even show up on me. When I opened the compact, the color Ariana was pinker than I expected. It still has warm peach tones, but it definitely adds a rosy flush to the cheeks, like an authentic sunburn. I am impressed with how realistic and natural it looks! Also, the value is slightly darker than I expected, which is good because it does show up on light-medium complexions. It should be noted the blush doesn't come with an application brush, as stated online. All in all, the formula is exceptional (silky, not drying), and the color is beautiful (soft, authentic peachy-pink)...it's a home run!
