Melissa Says: Oh, boy...here we go. Let's start with a positive note - the color of this blush (I tried a few different shades) is pretty and sheer and lasts nicely...after you've panicked and tried to wipe the blotch of pigment that swipes onto your face directly out of the brush the first several times. When you shake the brush to get the blush into it, it all comes out in a dot in the middle of it (and all over your counter or clothing - here's a tip: keep the cap ON when you shake it).

When I first applied the blush to my cheeks, something a friend had told me about her experience with the product came true for me as well. I was definitely not impressed with the strong amount that went onto my skin (and unevenly at that), because of the unbalanced dispersion of the product on the brush. Also, blush flew all over my bathroom counter and I was very glad I was staying home that day and was in a t-shirt instead of nice work clothes. Okay, lesson learned. From that time on, I only shook the brush a little bit and kept the cap on to catch the loose pigment. I still had some problems with getting the right amount on my cheeks, though, and kept having to reach for a tissue to dab off excess.

What I realized a few times later was that I only needed to shake lightly once or twice, because some pigment always remains in the brush from the time prior. This made the shade much prettier and more wearable.

In the end, it can look very pretty...but I really don't think it's all that convenient if you have to work so hard to get it to not mess up your clothes and not make you look like a baby doll. This had promise, but for me fell short. This blush in different packaging would definitely be something to try.

Retail Price: $12.99 (at drugstores and superstores)
