mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint

Subtle and light

I bought the Mark Just Pinched Cheek Tint in "Sunny" thinking that it would give me a sun kissed glow or bronzed effect. However, I was disappointed by how little color this product actually gives you and how small the packaging is. Having ordered this from a catalogue, I was shocked to see how small it is. It looked bigger advertised. The tube holds only 4 grams, this is the exact same amount as for a regular lip balm. The blush goes on very smooth, and it feels like lip balm too, leaving a bit of a color and shine. It is ordorless although has a consistency of lip balm and after reading the ingredients, it has some oils and beeswax as well, which are commonly used in lip products. I expected that just a little would go a long way, perhaps I got the wrong color, but the Sunny tint barely shows and I am fair skinned. I recommend this for someone who does not have oily skin and wants some very subtle color, something easy to carry around and apply outside. I bought this in Canada for 7$ and I find it rather expensive considering how little I benefited from the product. For any Canadians familiar with the Joe Fresh clothing/cosmetic line, they make a great cheek tint in the exact same format, with more colors, that actually leave a lot of tint with just a dab and those cost only 4$.
