I love blushes! I “collect” them as if they are priceless baseball cards, and I think the reason I am obsessed with them is because they give anyone of any complexion a nice glow and really brings a dull, sullen look back to life with a natural flush of color. I also love blushes because when I want to sport a natural look or don't have a lot of time in the morning to get ready, a little blush makes me look awake and fresh. I especially like those neutral brown colored blushes that have a little shimmer because I use them as a bronzer to give a nice natural sun-kissed glow during the summer.
I tried the Amuse Sheer Mineral Blush Shimmer in “Dusty Rose”, but to my surprise it was more of a sheer shimmery baby pink color, rather than the medium rose color I was expecting. The Amuse Mineral blush comes in a potted jar filled up to the rim. The one thing I wish this blush had was a sifter in the jar to control the amount of blush you need as well as preventing mass spillage. Since a sifter isn't included, you end up picking up more product than you want or need and makes it hard to travel with as some of it may seep through the sides.

The mineral blush itself has no weird smell to it, and comes on very smooth. I personally did not like the color I received, it was too light of a pink for my complexion and skin tone, and it was just way too shimmery for me making my face look shiny. Also the blush seemed too finely-milled and somewhat 'thin', almost like the texture of flour, that it did not stay on my face all day or at least for the majority of the day and ended up coming off after a few hours, and especially since it has been so hot in California where I live, I need a blush that lasts, which is why I like powder blushes or mineral blushes that are a bit more “gritty”, so it holds onto your face a lot better.
I do think it's a lovely blush, but perhaps the color I picked was just not for me, for $2.99 a pop though, you have nothing to lose, and you can try all or a couple colors out. |
