I never owned a blush in my entire life. I wear makeup daily for years, mostly some lipstick (dark purple and warm coral suits me like nothing else) and some winged eyeliner, maybe eyeshadow or something. For blush, I am using a bright red lip product, witch failed me on the lips. (It smudges everywhere and the colour does not suit me, as it is too cool toned. On my cheeks I love the effect, little under my eyes and on my nose, it looks like I got a bit sunburned or cold). And it stays in place my whole shift at work, even if I am out in the rain.

So.... I want to buy a blush in the future. But everyone and their mothers on the internet is using a cream blush with a powder blush on top. They are claiming it stays longer on. But like how long?
My lip laquer I use as a blush stays on like 16 hours without problem. Previously I used a literal Isana tinted lip balm as a blush and I never had problem with the longetivity. I will never use 2 products but I really want to try a proper blush like an adult women. Something that is not red or orange but sophisticated, but I am afraid that I would just throw my money out, because a tinted lip balm stays on longer.

Any tips? Any recommendations? (I am only using cruelty free stuff, I live in Sweden)

Hi! My blemish prone skin finally calmed down thanks to CeraVe (Blemish Control Cleanser and CeraVe Moisturising Cream), but I always preferred to use cruelty free stuff, I was just very desperate at that time. This is the only thing I made an exception with years ago, but it feels so bad to rebuy these.

For the face wash I think Q+A Salicylic Acid Cleanser would work well enough. But my main problem now is to find a good alternative for moisturiser. I love that CeraVe is a "barrier cream" and it makes my skin sooo soft. I buyed the Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel, but I am afraid that it won't be enough for the Swedish winter.

My criterias are that it has to be cruelty free, rich but acnee friendly and I would love it if it came in a big package. I just can't buy any 50 ml moisturiser, like they are gone sooo fast. Oh, and of course it has to be avaiable in Sweden.
