Swatch:
Spice comes with matte shades of pink and peach.
Both are cool-tone and blends well together too!

I like to use a soft natural-bristled brush in application because a little goes a long way!  You have to be careful as with just a few swirls, you get a whole lot of product so tapping off excess powder is recommended before you apply on your cheeks.

The mixture of pink and peach used together is perfect because the pink shade serves as a "highlighter" on my cheeks while the peach color is the blush color itself.  This would work on fair to dark complexion but keep in mind that if you have dark complexion, the effect will be more of a "highlight powder" as compared to being a blush color.

AMW says ---
  • Easy to use.
  • No brush included so you have to own a separate brush.
  • No mirror.
  • Pigmentation is good.
  • Longevity?  Lasts 4-5 hours for normal and dry skin, a bit shorter if you have oily skin.
  • Very easy to make a mistake in application due to its' high pigmentation, if you over-applied, don't worry and top it with your favorite powder foundation to blur out the color.
  • No scent.
  • Very affordable.
  • You get 3 shades of blush for the price of 1. (Pink, Peach and Pink+Peach mixed together)
