Sold: Drugstores

Price: $3.99

Description: A peachy pink cream blush with a slight silver iridescence

Review:

Pros

• So cheap!
• Pigmentation is amazing! It’s very easy to put too much on!
• .28 oz of product
• Adds a great flush to the cheeks
• Great base for a powder blush, which will last all day when applied
• A brush isn’t required (although I do prefer), fingers blend out the product just as easily
• Pretty decent color variety – although I definitely fell in love with this one at first sight!
• Has just the right consistency – not sticky and not too oily
• Can also be used as a lipstick

 

Cons

• They seem to be a hot item, which makes a little hard to find
