Lily Lolo Mineral Blush Review

I love putting on blush, trying (unsucessfully) to sculpt some cheekbones and add a pop of colour to my pale complexion is probably my favourite part of my makeup routine. So when I was doing some browsing on feelunique and spotted Lily Lolo's mineral blush collection, I didn't have the will power to deny myself purchasing one from their beautiful range of colours. I went for the shade Rosy Apple, described as a pink-brown with shimmer, as I was after a blush that would give me a flush of natural colour, whilst affording a more sunkissed look. Since I usually opt for peaches and light pinks, it also made a nice change. 





















The packaging is simplistic, a patent black lid with the Lily Lolo logo and frosted glass base. I like it, it's understated but chic. At first I was surprised at how small it was, but seeing how little powder you need when applying it, I'm confident it'll last me just about forever. The lockable sifter minimizes the risk of being enveloped in a cloud of blush when opening the product and is pretty handy for preventing spillage.

The colour reminds me of rose gold and I adore the healthy glow it gives me. Being quite pale, I'm a bit wary of bronzer but for me this product is almost a cross between a blusher and a bronzer, perfect for me to dip my toe into the water. The powder is fairly pigmented and gives a smooth finish, with just enough shimmer to catch the light but not so much so that you look overdone. In terms of longevity, I get around 6 hours wear without a primer. 

Having never had a loose powder product before, I'm finding it a bit difficult to use. It's easy to pick up too much powder then end up looking like a rosy cheeked clown and this paired with the fact it's a tad hard to blend, doesn't make for the easiest of applications. However, these issues may be more of a reflection on my lack of experience with this type of product, rather than a reflection on a product itself, so I will keep trying to hone my skills. 

Would I buy this product again? It's a tough one. Personally, I prefer a pressed powder but if I can get to grips with using a loose one, then yes I probably would purchase another as the shade range is so stunning. Despite a few hiccups, I'm glad I bought this mineral blush and am really pleased with the colour, which I'm confident will look gorgeous with a tan.
