Just before Christmas I had plenty of spending to do mainly on other people and I had just moved into a large flat that needed so much. I like many women like to treat myself to bits of make up however I was on a tight budget and not only did I want a new eyeshadow and things like that for the festive season I actually needed a couple of things I had ran out of too and blusher was one of the things that I really did need!

The Packaging:

This blusher comes in an oblong plastic and transparent flip top compact and on the top of it we are told what it is and on the underside we are told the colour we have, the size is stated (which is 2.4g) and contact details for the manufacturer are given etc. It's a cheap looking but robust compact this to be fair to it and no mirror or applicator or anything within it but to be very fair this product only costs a pound and you do get rather a lot of the blusher really for the money!

The Product itself:

The colour I am reviewing is shade 1 and that's a very light pink shade. It's a light candy kind of pink and quite girly yet a rather light shade that doesn't contain too much shimmer or any glitter or anything like that.

This is very easy to apply indeed, I use it as the last sort of product I use on my face and I can use this under or over pressed/loose powder. I need to use my own brush to which I have an array of already and I simply swish my brush within the compact and the powder comes off very easily indeed and then I set about adding a sweep of colour to my cheeks and defining what I have.

This is a very soft and fine powder and its really easy to blend. I couldn't feel it on my face just the smoothness it created once on and it didn't settle into lines or creases or anything either. Once on this didn't transfer off or fade and lasted me a good few hours before I removed it with my usual make up removing routine.

What I appreciate the most about this product is that it isn't an in your face colour, its easy to build the colour up with it otherwise it simply gives a nice healthy colour that looks natural and it has never upset my sensitive skin either which is a big bonus for me!

All in all for a pound I thought this a great little product that doesn't break the bank and so impressed am I, I will check out other colours in the range to which there are a few of!
