Essence Renesmee Red Blush - Twilight Breaking Dawn Collection

Essence Renesmee Red Powder Blush ($3.5) came out last fall and is the only item I picked up from the Twilight Breaking Dawn Part II Collection. No limited editions from the brand was spotted since then (their products are hit-or-miss but I just love looking at and taking pictures of the LE displays!).
Renesmee Red looks deep burgundy in the pan but on the skin, it just appears a lot more orange-y and flush-like(from heat rather than cold). The powder is very pigmented and firmly pressed so a tiny dab blended on the cheek has the same effect of red cheek stain, since it creates no powdery layer or any observable finish. 
Mai-Tai, Renesmee Red, Bentint (which looks more berry on me) and Corallina. Unlike other warm-reddish shades, Renesmee red seems natural enough that it doesn't enhance the redness (mainly from zits and freshly picked scabs) that's already on my skin. Overall: Great blush (not just for its price).

P.S. Toy was made (by my friend) from a pattern at Gingermelon Dolls.
