THINGS TO RAVE ABOUT

• Long Lasting: "Mine lasted 10 hours without ANY fading through work where I was dusting and got a bit oily. It looked SO good!" by skullglitter
• Nice Packaging/Pump: "The packaging is really nice, small and compact. The pump can be a bit tricky but it dispenses just enough to get the job done." by mzjade22
• Water Resistant: "And I tried to pump out a tiny amount, and what came out was enough to stain my hand so intensely that I seriously think I scared the drive through lady when I handed her my money. Then I came home and washed my hands. TWICE. With soap. And it is still a little bit on there. (!!) So I would say that this stuff is pretty ridiculous in terms of wear and could easily claim to be waterproof." by ihavequestions
• Light-Weight: "The consistency is smooth, reminds me a bit of a primer, which makes sense as the product does have a fair few silicones in it. The feel on the skin is so light I don't even know it's there." by classicgirl05
• Crazy Pigmented: "These are so crazy pigmented, you pump out just the tiniest amount on your hand, you have to blend it there to tone it down a little before applying to cheeks and even more so when you apply to your face." by dbmiller

THINGS TO RANT ABOUT

• Blotchy: "The only downside of this was that it made my skin look a little blotchy, it kind of stuck to my blemishes and made them stand out" by indicaxvx
• Poor Color Choices: "Don't get me wrong, the colors are beautiful, but just not as blush. Again, since they are so pigmented, they would only look good on darker skintones." by dddoxie
• Hard to Blend: "It's sooo pigmented that even with a light hand you end up looking a little clownish especially since it doesn't blend well at all." by mooshrimp

IS IT FOR YOU?

YES:

 Desire a creamy, glowly formulation for blush rather than a matte powder

 Not afraid to wear a very noticeable, pigmented blush that stands out

NO:

 Unwilling to deal with the required blending and buffing
 Skin tone is very fair
