In the Limelight: Becca Cosmetics Creme Blush in Hyacinth Product Review

I have always been a powder blush user and creme blushes aren't really my thing although I have owned a few in the past. None really amazed me but that wasn't until I got my hands on Hyacinth Creme Blush by Becca Cosmetics. It was one of the products I picked up from my Apothica sponsorship. Anyway, I have been using it since January of this year and here is my review on the said product.



What I like:
  • The shade, Hyacinth, is a gorgeous red-pink shade with just a very tiny hint of coral in it. It  does not contain shimmers and gives a natural flush.
  • The texture is very creamy, glides like butter, and blends like a dream on the skin.
  • Unscented.
  • The compact is really nice and sleek and fits small purses given its small size. It is smaller than the compacts of their powders and powder blushes.
  • Pigmented and a little goes a long way. 
  • Its texture initially made me think that this won't last more than half an hour on me but it proves otherwise as this lasts for about half a day on my combination-oily skin type plus the Manila heat and humidity. So staying power is more than decent for a creme blush.
  • It has not caused any irritation or allergic reaction on my skin.
  • Locally available at Adora in Greenbelt though I can't be certain of the price.

What I don't like:
  • This could be pretty pricey here in Manila. The Beach Tints cost around Php 1850 so I can just imagine how pricier this could probably be. (But given the quality, I'm willing to purchase this here.)

Overall rating: 4.75/5 less .25 for the price.

Will I buy again? I think this is my HG (Holy Grail) creme blush so yes! As I stated above, I am willing to pay the local price and purchase it here.



Have you tried creme blushes by Becca Cosmetics?

Have a wonderful week ahead, everyone! :-)

Cheers,

DISCLAIMER Product was purchased using my Apothica sponsorship fund but does not, in any way, affect my opinion on the said product.
