Great stuff

This stuff is potent and I'm pale so I tend to wear it under my tinted moisturizer. It gives you a natural glow that lasts all day. Plus, it's a very travel friendly product.

Love it!

It's so simple and it lasts all day. I use it once in the morning knowing I'm not going to have to reapply throughout my busy day.

So versatile

I love this as a cheekstain and a lipstain. I have it in all the shades- Raspberry (the *perfect* berry), Brownberry (reddish-brown) and Coralberry (bright peachy-red). I apply a tiny dab to each cheek overtop moisturizer and/or dewy foundation, and I blend with my fingertip. It will stain my fingertip, but it fades within an hour or two. It gives my cheeks a natural-looking flush that lasts a...read morell day. I find all the colors flatter my pale, neutral toned skin, and I think they would suit a variety of skin tones. It comes in a tiny metal tube. While it tends to ooze product and is easily dented, I appreciate that it is environmentally friendly and there is not excess plastic packaging. The product itself is extremely concentrated. Applied directly to my lips it looks blotchy and uneven, but if I mix a drop with a drop of lip balm (like CO Bigelow My Favorite Lip Balm), and blend well with a lip brush, it makes a beautiful, sheer, even, long-wearing lip stain. I will even mix the shades to further customize the color. Overall, this is a terrific value for such a versatile product. It has excellent staying power and the shades are beautiful. Just be prepared, it takes some time and experimentation to find the application technique that best works for you.

I have used this product for 5 years now. It is the best blush gel/stain out there. It stays on all day. I would recommend to anyone who is a blushaholic like me.
