Rouge Bunny Rouge Original Skin Blush in Orpheline

by Tine on July 19, 2012

Being a blush fanatic, I can do without lipsticks or lip gloss (altogether now. GASP!), but I’ll be damned if I step out of the house with blush on. It’s not lip colour that prevents me from looking like death, it’s blush.

Today, I’d like to show you a new blush I acquired a few weeks ago from Zuneta. I’ll be honest; up to the day I shopped on Zuneta, I’ve never heard of the brand Rouge Bunny Rouge. After doing a bit of browsing on the brands available on the website, I stumbled upon Rouge Bunny Rouge and their blushes. Ten minutes of swatch research later, I popped the Orpheline into the shopping cart.

Hello beauty!

Rouge Bunny Rouge Original Skin Blush in Orpheline

For those of you who know my love for cherry blossoms, it’s no wonder why I chose this blush, eh? Oh okay, these are not cherry blossoms, but they look very pretty all the same, no? :)

The website describes the shade of Orpheline as medium, warm strawberry with an illuminating radiance, and that it’s best on medium warm skin tones. LeGeeque purchased the same blush as we did the Zuneta spree together, and she found it too dark on her very fair skin. As for me, I thought it was just nice on mine.

It’s a highly pigmented blush. You’d only need a very light couple of taps on the powder for the blush to show on your skin. After wearing this a couple of hours on, I find that it settles very nicely on the skin and foundation, giving me a subtle but lovely flush.

The only thing I do not like about the blush is the packaging. I find the tight plastic clasp similar to Illamasqua’s blushes. In other words, if you have nicely-painted nails on, it’s going to be a pain in the bum to open without ruining your nails.

Other than that, I’d say it’s a pretty blush to have in your collection.

Rouge Bunny Rouge is available on Zuneta.com at £25 (it will ring up to about £21 minus VAT if you’re an international customer). At the moment of writing, the blush is currently out-of-stock. Still, I reckon it won’t be long before it’s available again.

Have you tried anything from Rouge Bunny Rouge? What would you recommend I try next?

Looks so amazing on you Tine! Here’s the thing. I actually have a couple of RBR stuff in my cupboard that I *gasp* haven’t used. I can’t remember which colour I chose though. Sigh… I’m going to next week. I hope :P

Plue: I don’t understand why people make clasps so tight. I understand that it must be sturdy but damn, it kills manicures >.< My favourite packaging, as cheap as it looks, is The Balm. Don’t have to worry about breaking anything or ruining manicures :P

I love the way you paired this blush with your lipstick….very pretty combo. I agree tt blush is such an essential to prevent oneself from looking like death haha… I would say bb cream, blush and lip balm are my basic essentials before heading out of the house.

Beauty Box: Yeah that’s a must combo for me too – BB cream, blush and lip balm (even if I don’t have lip colours on).

I’m pleasantly surprised at how pretty the Rimmel lippie colour is. I’m not usually a big fan of Rimmel lipsticks, but this one’s good :)

Love everything about this look..right from blush to scarf :-) ) I got the same blush from Zuneta and it’s still sitting in its packaging. Going to bring it out in action after this post.

Okay will switch the exclamation marks off now :P

I chose this too! And I can’t believe I missed this post of yours.

I have been using mine on and off, not ready to review yet.

But thus far, I find to it too strong my skin though I am not fair. Doesn’t seem to suit well.

Jyoan: A friend of mine bought this together with me. She had to give hers away as she found it too strong on her skin too.

Some blushes are like that. For some reason, it just doesn’t seem to suit the skin well. I have a few like that too.
