Ok, I admit it, this is another blusher I bought pretty much for the packaging without actually trying the blush first (I have to stop doing that). I have to say Too Faced do some gorgeous blushers - I really wanted their leopard one a few years ago after I bought a friend one for her birthday. It was one of those presents that I seriously considered keeping for myself but I'm a good friend so I reluctantly handed it over.
Let's talk about the packaging...pretty yes? I think Too Faced aim to position themselves somewhere around Benefit in terms of packaging and price and I have to say I think I prefer Too Faced, but I haven't tried loads from either brand. The vintage style heart shaped box is so cute, however it's made of cardboard so don't expect it to stay looking great for that long. I wish it was a proper compact! Unlike Benefit you don't get a little mirror or a brush either.
It's a mix of three different shades of blusher - rose, coral and peach - each with a hint of shimmer so that you get a good blend of colour rather than one solid one. Be warned, the colour isn't really strong. It actually gives quite a subtle, natural colour that you can certainly use every day so if you're looking for something bold or you have darker skin you might not want to bother with this. As I said, there is a slight shimmer to it but not over the top. It's buildable but I prefer to wear it a bit more natural.
It does last throughout the day without any top ups needed. I do think this mix of colour and texture suits my skintone though, I look more glowing and awake with this on. It isn't a soft powder, more of a baked one, so there's a bit less wastage and mess too (always good news!).
I don't know if I'm getting stingy in my old age or what but I didn't pay £24 (RRP) for this, and I don't think I would. It's a nice everyday blusher that suits me but for that price I'd want something a bit more - there's a decent amount of product in there too (5.5g).
Available from Beauty Bay for £24, if you're a bit of a blusher connoisseur or a fan of the brand then go for it!
