I purchased this with the Annabelle cosmetics kabuki brush for a great price. I have this in the shade Sugar Rush. This blush, in the packaging, looks like a deep pink shade. It is a very pretty pink with an almost berry shade. It has a ton of shimmer which doesn't show up that much. It goes on pretty well and if i sheer it out, it is a good shade for my fair skin. The product isn't milled that fine and is incomparable to high end brands. However it is great for what it is and for the price. It is a really pretty natural shade. It has a lot of product too, but compared to pressed blushes, it is considerably smaller. For the value, a powder brush may be more worth it.

The claims:

A softly subtle blush for a radiant and natural looking complexion. Available in three beauty enhancing shades each more luminous that the other. Formulated to help shape your features subtly yet efficiently.


How to use:

Use a Kabuki brush (available in limited edition only) specially designed to be used with mineral powders. Or apply with the A-12 blush brush. Choose among three skin perfect shades to create the look you want. The lightest shade can be used to create the look of a blushing ingénue while the darkest shade can be used to create a more dramatic yet natural effect. Sweep blush using light upward strokes over the apples of your cheeks, then blend into temples.

Blush may also be swept over shoulders and/or cleavage to create a subtle yet luminous glow.

Pros:

* highly pigmented
* contains very subtle shimmers for the perfect radiance
* delivers the perfect coverage as it's easily buildable

Cons:

* as it is so pigmented, it's easy to overdo it
* expensive!



What I think:

I'm still relatively new to mineral makeup, but so far, I'm loving it. This blush gives a natural glow to my face, and the color is perfect for my skintone. As it's so pigmented, I like that you don't need a lot of product to achieve the perfect look (howver, it's easy to overdo it).
