Having pale skin and frequently accused of being ill or anaemic (although it is just the case that Westerners aren't familiar with the skin shades of Oriental girls...I'm very healthy!), I've decided to regularly use blush in my make up routine. However, although I am quite happy with powder blushes, I have found that they could sometimes be very dry, and very 'superficial' rather than giving a glowy natural feel. I wanted something that made you radiate a glow from within.
I'd hate to look like some painted mask!
And even though I've been reluctant using cream blushes, (some do not glide over foundation and actually make your base worse as you have to rub it around or that it gets sticky, or worse, look like you've applied a dollop of paint), I've found the perfect cream blush!
The shade the assistant recommended for me was "Orgasm". She said it was to suit my porcelain skin, and that I didn't like uber rosy colours. It's a petal peachy pink with a sheer hint of sparkle. The subtle gold flecks highlight your cheeks and really makes you glow like a baby. It's a beautiful texture and a little goes a long way! It glides wonderfully if you apply from the stick or if you prefer, you can use your fingers to apply.
Personally I use my fingers so that I know exactly how much I'm leaving behind. There are several other colours (about 6+), some darker hues and others are lighter for highlighting. They ALL looked absolutely GORGEOUS!
The colour can be layered for a rosier complexion if you prefer, especially for evening. And also used minimally for a sheer highlighter for the day - it goes unnoticed and looks so natural that it appears like a healthy radiating glow rather than blusher than you've applied.
The products lasts and lasts for a while.. although I've not had mine all that long, I've barely taken off the first few millimetres!
It doesn't ruin your foundation/concealer or gets cakey. And blends in naturally with your skin if you're using it alone without make up. It makes you have the petal complexion, velvety but sheer and glowy. It is very comfortable, a light product that doesn't weigh down your skin or blocks pores. And since cheeks are very sensitive areas, it has not affected me (I have hyper sensitive skin). It keeps the moisture in but doesn't melt or transfer easily.
It also works as a cream eye colour which is just as beautiful if you like cream eyeshadows.

Perhaps, some people may feel the texture is a bit odd for the lips, as the cream texture turns into a soft creamy powder, but for me I found it was ok - different to the waxy creamy texture of a lipstick, however. But this is a very minor thing, that does not really bother me since, despite the different texture, it does the job and works just as well, giving a beautiful sheer subtle glistening shade to the lips.
A stunningly beautiful shade and a wonderful product. I'll definitely stick to this one!!!
