Colourpop Blush in Thames and Flush'D

Another day, another Colourpop review, and this time it's something cheeky! I will be reviewing the two Colourpop blushes, Thames and Flush'D.

Vital Stats

Product Weight: 4.2 gm
Price: $8
Status: Cruelty-Free

Ingredients

From Colourpop website

Packaging

• Comes in a standard Colourpop white tub, with a transparent screw on cap. 
• The actual product itself is housed inside a metallic pot in the plastic tub.
• Bulky packaging takes up a lot of drawer space.

Product

• The product is very mousey, squishy and bouncy like Colourpop eyeshadows.
• There is a pattern overlay on the blush, which disappears once the first layer is through.
• The product will dry out fast if kept open for long.

Shades

Thames: A cool dusty pinky mauve shade with a matte finish. This shade was part of the Alchemy collection which is currently not available online.

Flush'D: An apricot-coral shade with a semi-matte finish. Though advertised as matte, one can clearly see the sheen and the sparkles. This shade was part of the Kaepop collection.

Performance 

• Application is very tricky:

1.  On applying the product with fingers, I couldn't blend the product and I was left with finger marks across my cheeks.
2.  On applying with synthetic brushes, the brush couldn't pick up enough product, and the result was not very flattering.

• Very pigmented and a little goes a long way. 
• Wore well without fading for 8 hours.
• Colours showed up beautifully on my tan skin.
• Looks super natural when blended, but blending itself is a pain.

Swatch

No face swatch, as I am down with viral flu, and I have been roaming around in my pajamas, with hair tied up in a bun for the past 3 days. Not a pretty pic to post online!

Verdict

I would give them a miss considering the pain in the <places you don't want to name> application process. If you are a cream blush person, definitely try one from this SuperShock Cheek range to see whether you love it or just feel MEH!

Have you tried any of the Colourpop's cheek products?
