Anyong beautiful readers! I wanted to show you this adorable little blush from The Face Shop! I am such a sucker for cute packaging and I really couldn't resist this one.

The Lovely me:ex Plum Cushion Blusher comes in an adorable cardboard container. The packaging is pretty sturdy and I actually quite like it, but it might not be the best for the adventurous traveler to take along. I am pleased that the lid fits tightly and securely. The cardboard isn't flimsy or anything so as long as you take care of it you shouldn't have any problems with it not being of the plastic variety. It comes with a cute little powder puff inside topped with a bow to apply the blush. There is no separation between the puff and the product itself, however, so it's best to clean the puff before replacing. Or, you can simply use your own makeup brush of course!
This pressed powder blush is a very pastel shade and gives you a doll-like appearance. I think this would look great paired with a light lip and accentuated eyes, especially with falsies! Sorry, but I really couldn't get the blush to show up very well in pictures (due to lighting), but it is much more prominent in person and I find it gives you a very cutesy, youthful look. In the right light, it shimmers and is quite pretty!
You can barely tell that I am wearing any blush in the photo, but if you don't want a stand out blush then the Plum Cushion blusher is a good choice. It's a great pick if you're going for a porcelain doll finish, but want to stay close to looking natural. In terms of wearability, it's lasted me all day and I haven't had a problem with it wiping off. The only thing I do not like about the blush is you cannot build up the color! I'd say there is a difference between layer one and layer two, but after that no matter how much you apply it won't get any more pigmented. On the bright side, there's basically no way can mess it up lol.
The Lovely me:ex Blushers come in five variations. I chose #03 Plum Cushion after testing all five in store because I liked the color the best (although I think the award for cutest packaging goes to the Rose Blusher). Overall, this blush is chalky in texture and matte with a slight shimmer. I love the packaging and think the pastel is perfect for anyone wanting to look super kawaii!
xo,
I adore the packaging so much! It's definitely a great add to the collection:) I really want to try the coral color, but I'm afraid it won't show up to well on my cheeks because I heard these blush runs pretty sheer:(
ReplyDeleteAnyways, thanks for the review!
Well I did try all of them in the store and they are noticeable in person, but definitely more sheer than other blushes. The coral color might stand out a little more since the plum color I got is much lighter, but if you're looking for a blush that pops I probably wouldn't go with this one :( it is cute though! lol xo
DeleteI've heard mixed reviews about this so I don't know whether or not to get it ;A;
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like these blushes! But, it's one of those things where you have to like it for what it is. If you want a subtle blush then it's great, but if you want something more pigmented or for photos definitely go for something else!
Deletei love the shade!!
