Application
Verdict
Pro
This is my first cream blush, it was quite easy to apply with a brush (I didn't adhere to the finger tapping method because it didn't seem to blend too well).
I have olive skin and it gives me a natural flush, not too pink.
Very sleek mirror compact :)

Con
The hair from your brush will get stuck in the blush -- I use a tooth pick to pick them out.. but you'll also get tiny fluff and what not as well. So, I really wouldn't use this as a lip product after I've dipped my brush into it. I guess you'll have to decide whether you want it as a blush or lip colour.
I didn't like it as a lip colour because it dried out my lips, it's quite a few shades lighter than my natural lip colour so it made me look washed out.
It's not as long wearing as my powder blushes.

Maybe, it takes me a long time to finish a blush and I'd like to try some other brands of cream blush for comparison.

I just can't get the hang of cream blush application. My skin is so dry it just drinks it up and I end up with splotches of uneven colour lol...

Oh my god yes! I've been using rosehip oil for the past year and it has changed my skin dramatically. I wasn't able to use this blush without making my peeling skin more noticeable. Luckily, my skin had a sporadic turn around!.. but i think it also depends on the weather, I can't use cream blush during winter hehe.
DeleteIt is a pretty colour but I have to say that it is quite pricey for a blusher. :) I normally pay no more than £15 for blushers. :P
ReplyDeleteAs it is creamy textured it gathers a lot of unwanted dust or hair. ><
The prices here are a bit ridiculous, it's usually double of whatever the cost is overseas. Oh you are so right, I would never fork out $40 for a blusher!! Thank goodness for websites like StrawberryNet and online shopping!!!
DeleteWhat a pretty color :) i used to own several of these Stila cream blushes but I could never finish them! :p And they are quite pricey, even here in the US. But it's a great multitasker :D
ReplyDeleteOooh how much are they in the US? I thought I bought this in a stila set, it ended up being around $10 I think. I've never finished a blush :( I better start putting in effort :P
