The blush is OK. A tiny bit goes a long way. It is blush and you don't need too much. Just on the hollows of your cheeks. The holes in the design needs to be smaller so you don't waste the product. I got more than I bargained for with this company.

When I bought this product I had been swept away by a very charming and handsome sales clerk (asides from the blush I ended up buying the facial cleansing kit, moisturizer, concealer and a few eyeshadow, as a student the price was yikes). I got Desert Rose, and was initially swept way by the colour - not only was it gorgeous but I loved the hints of shimmer in the powder. The shimmer gave a healthy glow, and I'm the sort of girl who loves all things sparkles.

Of course then the problems came. The blush is a loose powder and sometimes this is just asking for trouble. No matter how careful I was with the container, the powder kept coming out because the holes were far too big. Now the top part is nearly overflowing, which makes an even bigger mess when I try and put the lid back on. The other problem is whenever I try to apply it powder gets everywhere - even if I try and tap the excess powder off. It gets on the counter, my clothes and my hair. This is very discouraging, and I've been using it less and less.

While the blush itself is lovely, the problems with the packing are both frustrating and annoying. I also feel that the constant messes are wasteful of product - for that alone I'd rather use a different blush.

I purchased the Bellapierre Mineral Blush in the Desert Rose colour last summer. I wear it daily and it'll probably last me another 3 months or so. So, in terms of quantity for money, it's a good product.

However, the reason I wish it would hurry up and run out so I can never buy it again is because it is way too much hassle. Similar to what I said in my review on the Bellapierre 9-Stack Powder, it looks nice once it's on your face, but the application is a disaster. I have to store this blush in a ziploc bag inside of my makeup case because it seeps out everywhere. The inside of my black makeup bag turned pinkish and I have to wipe down the bathroom counter every time I put on this blush because powder falls out just by twisting the blush open. Also, way too much comes out into the lid because the holes are too big.

My overall impression of Bellapierre is that they're on to something in terms of good products, but they need to revamp their packaging if they ever expect more people to use their products.
