My thoughts
The colours are amazing. They start with a deep coral on the left side then blend into a pinky coral and finish with a deep pink, almost red even. The product has a beautiful matte finish which is quite comparable to some high end blushes I've tried.
The product has a great pigment, meaning not a lot is required. The photographs show two swipes of blush and just look how deep it is! Application is easy as the powder is so smooth and easy to blend on the cheek.
The clear packaging is great because I can see the product, making it easy to find quickly. The plastic casing is also firm and solid making it a great travel product too! It will definitely be in my holiday make up bag!
