A couple of days back I shared with you some of the products
from Faces Canada's new Silk Range. This blush is a part of it. I've been using
this blush since past one week now and since it topped the chart by getting
maximum votes for the product to be reviewed first, here it goes.
This new year started with me getting "the pink
fever"and this blush was the most appropriate thing to take care of
it.Check out more details below.
Shade being reviewed: #12 - Pinked Mauve

Quantity: 3.5 grams
My Experience:
This blush comes in a cute packaging, with a flip open cover
that has a small cute mirror too inside. I was going all "awww" when
I opened the blush the very first time. It was the cutest little thing I'd seen
after the mini Isadora lipstick I reviewed HERE. The blush pan has a plastic
cover to keep it safe and microbe free and also to keep the mirror clean from
the blush stains. The consistency of this cream blush is quite comfortable. It
isn't runny, nor is it anywhere stiff - just perfectly built to easily take out
and apply on the cheeks. I usually use a Q-tip to take the product out, dab
lightly on the apples of my cheeks and then blend using my fingers. It just blends seamlessly into my skin giving
it a nice cool pink glow.
This particular shade of blush is a bit cool toned pink
shade. However, it looked pretty on my warm skin tone and makes it look like
I'd just come back from a snow fight. A lovely pink glow is all you get, and
the best part is that it looks extremely natural. There is no sheen or shine or
shimmer. Just a gorgeous matte pink to brighten up your face.
I've experienced a staying power of 4-5 hours from this
blush, when I've applied it just on my foundation. With a face primer it does
stay for 6+ hours, after which I anyway wash it off.
Now, check out some
quick like and dislike points below:
Likes:
1) Comes in a lovely, sturdy and cute packaging, with a
small mirror inside
2) It is a cream blush that gives a natural matte finish to
the cheeks - perfect for everyday look. It has a very nice and easy-to-use
consistency which is neither too runny, nor too stiff, just apt enough to apply
and blend well into the skin.
3) I love the shade of the blush which is a cool toned pink,
and gives a "right from the snow" effect to the cheeks, thereby
brightening up the face.
4) I like the staying power of this blush that stays 4-5
hours on my cheeks, after which it gently fades off, without creating any sort
of patches or weird things on my face.
5) Never broke me out.
6) Quite affordable for the price and quantity.
Dislikes:
ummm..frankly none as of now. I completely love this blush!
