Hello! The middle of the year is finally ending. Time flies by so fast! Anyway, I apologize for being missing for a couple of days. We finally got the chance to sort out our computer problems but we still have to re-arrange most of our files and programs and stuff, so.
Let me share with you though my favorite blusher as of the moment. I've always been a big fan of Avon's Simply Pretty Liquid Lip and Cheek Tint-- the roll-on type that was a bit violet-ish in color. But when they changed the packaging and formula, it wasn't as good as it used to be so I decided to look for something similar.
When I read stuff from GirlTalk, this cream blusher from Sophie Martin is always mentioned. It's supposedly very long lasting with a vibrant rosy color. The problem is, this one's not easily available. You have to look for it online or find a Sophie Martin representative. Thankfully, my officemate's sister is one so I was able to get ahold of this.
Forgive my hand as I was testing an eyeliner prior to the picture taking. ^^
Pros:
1. True enough, this is very long-lasting and can work well for oily skin. The color doesn't fade throughout the day and can last for about 12 hours. (I put this on when I did some overtime work so it's no lie ^^)
2. Very affordable. It's 85 Php a tube.
3. A little goes a very long way. If we were to speak about its pigmentation, it would be very pigmented. I'd just say that the color is intensely pink. ^^
4. I love the texture since it was like putting on a light cream.
Cons:
1. I wish the color does develop after a minute. The problem is it develops in less than a minute. So if you're a dab-dab-and-blend type of person, like me, it can look a little, how'd you say, splotchy? You'd end up with red marks from where you first put on the product. And that first color swatch picture? I end up with that on my hand all day because that's where I first put on the blush.
2. The scent threw me off a little, although it smells like powder.
3. It can be hard to get your hands on it. ^^
What I do is I mix it with some concealer. It gives me a few extra seconds to do my blending. It does the trick but it does make the color a little less intense. But it still stays on for long.
Cheerio!
