Product Review: T. Le Clerc Fard a Joues Poudre in 03 Brun Rose

Here is another blush I have been showing some love lately. Though I haven't totally reviewed it at all (only posted about acquiring it)o, I think this is more like a revisited and reviewed post since I have had this blush for a year now and I have used it only a few times so being able to use this these past couple of days made me realize it's time to finally give this blush a review.

 

 

 

 

What I like:

- First of all, I absolutely adore the packaging.! It looks so classic and even has a vintage feel to it. And it's so small, it can easily fit any purse.

- The shade is a lovely pink-rose that looks really natural on the cheeks. It looks a little bit like GOSH blush in Electric Pink but this one is more rosey.

- Pigmented. It is very easy to overdo this blush so apply it with a very light hand to get that natural looking flush.

- Small as it may seem, it has 5g of product, even more than NARS blushes.

- Texture is really silky and velvety and applies really smoothly.

- Did not cause me to break out, no allergic reactions too.

- UNSCENTED! 'nuff said. :P

- Locally available at T. Le Clerc counters at Rustan's.

What I don't like:

- May tend to look a bit blotchy if not blended well so blending is really the key in making this blush work.

- Shades available here are limited. This was the only shade I saw the the counter in Rustan's Gateway at the time I made my purchase so I didn't have any choice at that time. I dunno if there are more shades available now.

In between:  It may be a little expensive at PHP1150 but with the amount of product you get and the shelf life of 2 years, I think the price is justifiable.

Overall rating: 4/5

Will I buy again? Maybe. I still have this and other blushes to use up. But I really like the packaging!

Trivia: T. Le Clerc has been around since 1881 just like Bourjois (since the 1800's)  which is the sister company of Chanel.

Blush Purchase: T. Le Clerc Fard a Joues Poudre Brun Rose

Hey ladies! How's your weekend so far? I hope you are all having a blast. I've been sick again for the past couple of days that I had to go home from work last Thursday night and last night as well. I'm down with fever and cough and I've been sneezing a lot. Jeez.

Anyway, I dropped by Gateway Mall, Cubao before going to the office. I bought my supply of Seretide and Strepsils and I had every intention of buying the Stila Baked Blush in Pink Glow but they are OOS. :( So I ended up buying a T. Le Clerc Powder Blush in Brun Rose. I got it for PHP1150.

Picture and description taken from the website

T. Le Clerc Brun Rosé

Saturated rosewood with a slight shimmer. Bestows a healthy glow to any complexion from fair to dark. It especially suits golden blondes and brunettes.

Texture
The formula of this silky fine powder blush is based on rice starch, which provides matte long-lasting finish.

Application
Apply with an angled blush brush. Apply to the middle of your cheek apple and up to the temples. Don't apply in the hollows of your face or below the jaw line.

This is a pretty matte blush from the rose family with a very little hint of shimmer. I personally love the compact. It is very sleek and looks very stylish. It looks so cute that I can't believe it contains 5g of product (which is just the same as MAC powder blushes).










The blush is so pretty! I am definitely happy about my purchase. Too bad I can't play with it. I have to avoid any contact with make up until I get better.

Have a great weekend, everybody! ^_^ Read more...
