    Really not a fan of this product at all.

    The first reason being that a lot of benefit cheek colors are fragranced. Absolutely unnecessary and very irritating to the skin. Synthetic fragrances can make anybody - even somebody with normal, clear skin - break out in hives, whiteheads, painful lumps under the skin, additional blackheads, etc. This can wind up leaving scars.

    The other reason being is the price. Seriously? Benefit has some of the most highly priced, highly over-rated products on the market. I can think of several which are really NOT good, and most are LOADED with TALC. Zit-city. Talc is a comedogen. When a company expects women to pay that much, they better be giving us something of quality, not a product full of cheap fillers and toxic perfumes that are going to wind up making us look worse than we did to begin with. Makeup is supposed to *enhance* women's features, not detract from them.

    Why anybody would pay this much for THIS blush is absolutely beyond me. There are far better ones out there for much less, or only a $ or 2 more. I own both types. My best is actually one I made myself with pigments, mica, silk & pearl powders, and other ingredients. It ended up costing me less than $2 in wholesale products to put that together, and I've got enough to last a couple of years at least. Even benefit doesn't use those quality ingredients. They are all about the fartsy-names and cutesy-packaging. I had been dying to try them for years as I thought there *must* be something to their stuff if so many women were raving about it. And once I had, I quickly found out I had been missing nothing at all. Much like high-school, popularity means nothing when it comes down to it.
