I was hunting for an effective blush. Then, I decided to get cream blush because I read about cream blushes being easy to deal with than powder and liquid. After so, I've been going to SM Department stores and Rustan's to search for cream blushes that suit my rituals... The link below leads to the detailed make up shopping rituals of mine: http://sketchmylookbyixa.blogspot.com/2012/11/my-makeup-shopping-rituals.html
I was about to buy the Stila cream blush but I can't decide on what color to buy. Then, I saw the NYX cream blush on the internet but had some negative thoughts about it. When I went to Watson's I saw the cream blush in Nichido but it is too glittery and I hate that brand because I had allergic effect on their cheek and lip tint so I never did buy from there. Finally, I saw Sayceetee on Instagram and she posted the Sephora cream blush and I never had second thoughts and I bought it. After a month or so, because it is pre-order, it came and I had it.
What I Like:
As for the Packaging:
It is in normal size, suited for traveling. I think its size is 2 inches by 2 inches circle and an inch tall. The top is a clear plastic with the Sephora logo and name. Around the circle is a black rubber that would not slip easily. Opening is the fun part. It needs to be pushed in the side to open up.
As for the Pigmentation:
It is pigmented. Using a small amount of blush can make the cheeks glow with its color. It is not shimmering, which I like and it is easy to work with. No harsh lines are visible, unlike using a liquid blush tint. (Right picture: Rose Glow Swatch; Left: Blended/brushed)
As for the price:
I think it is worth it. I bought it for PHP900. For other cream brushes, it is almost in the same price but this one has a lot more product. It is in a dome shape and not just flat.
What I Dislike:
As for the smell:
It smells like old lipstick. I hate it so much. What I do is not smell it and just brush it on my cheeks. Basically, that is it. That is the only thing I hate about this product.
