Advantages: Great light pink shade, good consistency, easy to apply, well-designed packaging, value for money.

Disadvantages: Can't think of any.

Blush is one of those things that can easily mess up an entire makeup if you're too heavy-handed with it, and many people seem to be. I come across a few people daily, who have painted those way too noticeable strands of peach/ copper/ pink across their cheeks from each ear almost to the corner of their mouth, which instantly transforms their makeup from ok to transvestite territory.

I have been using this No.7 blush for a few months now, after I realized that my previous one was too dark, and that I was using too much of it.

I am pretty pale with a cool colouring so need to be using cool pink blushers. Once I noticed I was wearing too much of my previous blusher, which was quite a dark pink, I now realize (by looking at some photos where I looked like a cartoon character), I started to search for a lighter shade, and found this No.7 one.

The blusher comes in a simple and stylish-looking, black oval-shaped container. The opening mechanism is easy, and the packaging is well-designed, with no tiny, needless brush tucked into it. The container is well designed and fits well into even a small makeup bag.

The product is in pressed form, fine in consistency, and easy to apply with a blusher brush. It has some tiny tiny shimmery particles in it, which to me look almost unnoticeable.

What I love about the product is the shade "Soft Damson" I've been using. It is light pink - light enough to be very difficult to get too much of on your cheeks, so it effectively protects yourself from accidentally getting the overly made-up look even if you're applying it in a dim club toilet. It gives a natural, faint enough touch on the apples of your cheeks, which you can leave as a very subtle finish or build it to be a more noticeable colour by re-applying.

This is great value for money as the 5g "pot" retails at 8.60 in Boots and lasts me well over a year.

Summary: Great product, would recommend to anyone.
