AMW Reviews: Maybelline Blush Studio Blush 'Em!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Today, I am finally sharing a review on the most recent blush I got!  It's really tiny and I believe it's the tiniest full size powder blush I own to date!  

When Maybelline came out with their Clear Smooth Minerals Blush, I am quite amazed with the good quality of the said blush and so far, I still haven't hit the pan and I haven't been looking at their other blushes ever since as I'm quite happy with what I have.

Now, they came up with something new, Blush Studio Blush 'Em!  It's housed in a super tiny square packaging that can be mistaken as an eyeshadow, we'll see how good this new blush is!

Looking at the photo, I can't help but sing "Lean On Me" *laughs* 



  The size of the blush is the same size as the free brush.

Maybelline says ---
A fashionable flush that perfectly blends with skin! Professional dual color blush for easy application. 4 different shades to match your casual and sophisticated look day and night. 

Shades
01 I'm Glowy!
02 I'm So Energetic!
03 I'm Pop!
04 I Love Pink!

AMW says ---
Pros
  • Tiny packaging, easy to tote for travel.
  • 04 I Love Pink! is a gorgeous light pink shade giving a nice overall glow.  
  • The pink shade doesn't look fake.  Gives a natural blush.
  • Pigmentation is good.
  • The shade can be adjusted in 3 ways.
  • Price.
Cons
  • No Mirror.
  • The free brush is a bit difficult to use and may create blush streaks if not applied or blended properly.
  • The blush area is too tiny. 
  • Doesn't last, retouching is needed.
Overall
A unique combination of pinks giving a natural pinkish glow.  Pigmentation is good but not long lasting so retouching is needed.

Tips
  • Apply a cream blush or blush tint underneath for blush to stay longer.
  • Use your choice of blush brush for a more natural look.
  • If you prefer to use the free brush, buff the blush powder using circular motion to prevent streaks.

Will I repurchase?
Different shade, yes but for personal use.

To whom do I recommend this to?
Young individuals starting on makeup.  The blush shade 04 in I Love Pink! works well for fair to medium skin.  Darker skin tone may try other shades as this may not show up.

Where to purchase and how much?
Priced at Php379.00 (approx $9.47) available at local Maybelline counters nationwide.

I prefer mixing both shades as it looks more natural on my skin.
The free brush is small as seen against my cheeks, but it can still be used if you don't have any other brushes with you.  It is very important to gently buff and swirl the product for a more natural finish.
