Hey Lovelies!
I hope everybody has been having a great new year so far! It tends to be relatively busy during the first month of the year at work, so I have been putting in extra hours every week to keep afloat. -_-

The packaging is super cute as expected - just check out the built-in adorable plastic jeweled heart!

The lid is cut like a giant diamond and screws off easily. So princess-y!!!

The set contains a minuscule blush brush which feels soft but doesn't serve any real purpose. Perhaps it might be good for contouring? There really is no place in the blush packaging itself that holds the brush securely so I stuffed it into my knick-knacks box where it will probably remain.

The blush itself in different lighting. The heart-shaped area is a shimmery coral cream blush, and the lower two compartments house a peachy-pink blush with golden shimmer and a lighter pink highlighter.

The cream blush reminds me a lot of NARS "Torrid" while the darker blush shade reminds me of a pinkier NARS "Orgasm"! Needless to say, very pretty colors and universally flattering IMO! I was surprised that the blush wasn't super shimmery and if used with a light hand, you could wear this to work on a Summer's day.

The other color is perhaps the more popular blush of the two - 01 in Strawberry pink. I can see the strawberry color looking great on fair-skinned beauties, but I am willing to give it a a whirl in the future sometime!

♥ 3-in-1 blush - versatile!

Irene!! I like that are you are returning to the bloggin world. =] Missed all your pink kawaii posts. {*YAY!!}
I'm curious as to which Jill Stuart blushes you got and from where?! I've been wanting one for the LONGEST time. I think that would be the last blush I'd buy for a long time. [email? give me a heads up if you reply back here.]
The blush you talked about here is cute! Is the puff soft and fluffy? I like how the three colors are actually noticeably different from one another.
SoooOo... do you think you'd ever do a post on your blush collection? kind of curious as to how many you have. =p
