little white truths

Verdict

This is a beautiful blush and I'm so glad I own it. It's one of those blushes that works with any look and can be worn lightly (as I have above) or built up for a more intense colour.

It adds an amazing, natural glow to the skin - quite like Hourglass blushes do - that lifts the face and looks so pretty without being too much. It's also exactly my kind of colour, and one I wear more than I do any other shade. I have looked at swatches of other blushes from the range but this is the only one that calls to me, so I'll just be happy to use and love this.

Another great thing about this blush is that it's foolproof: while the colour is there, it's not so pigmented that you have to be careful with it - and I've never made a 'blush error' with it and wound up with too much colour on my cheeks. I love anything that's hard to stuff up, so that's a huge plus for me.

On that, it also applies well and almost diffuses itself, so I don't need to spend ages getting this to look even and blended. That's also important to me because, like many, I don't have the time to work hard with my makeup - I need things I can just slap on while I'm chasing my toddler around the house with one eye on her and one eye on my compact. So this product ticks that box too.

As for product claims, as far as I'm concerned it meets them all: it does give a soft, ethereal glow; it is lightweight, subtle and long-lasting; it is super blendable; and it does add warmth and dimension to the face.

In sum, I love this product and I've given it an HG tag. It's one of the few blushes I own that I would repurchase if I ever finished it because I can't imagine ever growing tired of it.

Full marks from me : )
