Hello every one! Today I’m reviewing a lovely coral pink blush
from an American based brand, Purely Pro Cosmetics. I received a sample size of
this product in the February Vellvette box and this is by far the best of all
the samples I’ve received in my beauty box.
What the
company claims about the product:
Our soft blush powder comes in a special, light texture
which glides on smoothly and evenly. The sheer formula is light weight and
highly pigmented providing the perfect product to enhance the cheek bones and
create contours. Purest ingredients. Long lasting, highly pigmented.
Professional quality. Not tested on animals.
How to
apply:
To apply, swirl your brush across the surface of the blush
and then tap lightly to dust off excess pigment. Lightly apply the blush from
mid cheek to temple- tracing the cheek bone for a contoured look. Else smile
and apply it to the apple of your cheeks for a more youthful look. If you’re
not a blush user and don’t have a brush, don’t worry – your fingers, if used
gently, you can crate magical effect. Just make sure- you blend well, blend
till you get the right amount of pigment.
Price:
Rs 1425
Weight:
3.7 grams.
Ingredients:
Refer the image below.
Packaging:
The blush comes packed in a cute silver round case with a
screw lid. A round pan is housed in a black casing which holds the pan. The lid
is transparent which makes it easy to locate if you more than one blush of this
brand. The ingredients are mentioned at
the bottom of the container. The case is quite sturdy and travel friendly. A
very simple yet elegant packaging.
The blush is finely milled and is smooth on application but
the texture is quite powdery. The blush is completely shimmer less and has a
semi matte finish. It is fragrance free but smells exactly like Multani Mitti.
The pigmentation of the blush is good but not great. You will need at least
three swipes for it to show properly on cheeks. The blush blends easily and
does not get patchy while blending and stays even as it fades.
My
Experience:
Lovely
is a coral pink shade with a semi matte finish. The colour look coral pink in
the pan but transforms into a pretty peachy pink which gives a very natural
look. It is a universally flattering shade and shows up well on all skin tones
from the palest to the duskiest ones. The blush can be worn with a wide variety
of looks and eye makeup. I had worn this with purple eye shadow and golden brown
shadow and it looked great with both the looks.
Staying power of this blush is also decent. The blush stayed
for 5+ hours on me and did not fade completely even after five hours. I had to
remove it with my cleansing milk. Since it has no shimmer you can safely wear
it during day time for office/work. It
gives a soft flush of colour to the cheeks which does not look over the top. Since
it is matte shade, you can even use it for contouring the face.
Since the texture is a bit powdery, you will witness fall
out when you swipe the brush across the pan. So instead of swirling, just touch
the brush on the blush surface to avoid wastage. I wore it a couple of times and
it did not irritate the skin or break me out.
The blush is quite good but it’s too pricey. I won’t
recommend this product to anyone solely because of the price factor. It is
quite pricey and you can get better blushes in India (read MAC) at much less
price. For now I’m just enjoying the sample.
Summing up
the pros and cons:
Pros:
Long staying power.
Decent pigmentation.
