As gaudy as it appears, the shimmery magenta seems perfectly harmless as a cheek color. The lemon-y (a little Glade-like but not too sharp on the nose) blush stick is pigmented, creamy (thick but not too hard to blend on bare skin) and not at all sticky. A few dots (or a mini-swipe) gives a natural pink blush with some fine silver shimmer/glitter hanging around.
An intimidating arm swatch (probably what you get if you wear it as lip color). Overall: It's cheap, nice-smelling, natural-looking and long-lasting (as it doesn't disappear within an hour), just perfect for a lazy/busy day when you need something to look alive.
I like this as a blush, but I would NOT wear it as a lipstick! It's too frosty.
ReplyDeletei do agree with Madeline the frostiness puts me off for lipcolor :( i have one in peach (dont know the exact name) i use it as a cream highlighting blush
ReplyDeletesuper cheap as a blush!
ReplyDeleteMadeline:
ReplyDeleteI suppose I can wear it as a stain as well (as if I don't have enough berry-pink turns grandma magenta lip colors already).

I think Pink Lemonade is the only shade I see in Target...a peachy one would be awesome!

Yeah, now it makes me want to try their more expensive powder blush (at 3 bucks). Blushes just don't usually go wrong (unless they are chalky, unpigmented mess like Maybelline fit me).
