Packaging:
It's something you feel drawn to from the very first glance. I just had the chance to try these out, but I've always been intrigued by them: the rose-shaped see through plastic pot and the product itself, being cream, as I own blushes only in powder form. The lid is pastel green, with the logo of the same colour which contrasts with the fuchsia flower on which is written.
I like everything about it. The only possible point I could make would be to engrave the shade number/name on the actual lid, somehow, because the only way to identify one from the other is to place the sticker (which seals together the lid to the pot) on the top, or the bottom of the product.
The Shades:
There are 7 shades available, each corresponding to each day of the week, which I find to be a lovely idea. Especially when you're unsure on which colour to wear while getting your face beat!
There's literally a shade for every skintone out there, so I'm guessing there's no problem regarding the inclusivity for this line.
How to apply:
I suggest, aside from moisturizing, to prime the face and do your base as usual. Then, I think the best way to get the product on would be to mime a teethless smiling face (so it's easier to locate the apples of the cheeks) and go easy with your finger, as they're all quite pigmented. I choose the finger instead of a brush because I find it easier and patch-free, as the heat created by your skin helps the cream melt and create an even application. Ultimately, I would set everything with powder, especially if you have oily skin. What's different to a powder blush?
I think it lasts longer on the face, and plus it's really easy to just correct the result in case you happen to go a little too ham with it.
