Bellápierre Cosmetics Cheek & Lip Stain (5g)

I got the pink one in my beauty box like many others. I actually thought it was a cream blush until I wanted to order a replacement - I thought this because whenever I have tried stains in the past (& I've tried lots) they either don't have a strong enough colour or after a short period of time tend to go all patchy on my skin despite moisturizer or primer etc, albeit admittedly I do have quite dry skin. Anyway this little pot of loveliness has lasted about 6 month's, the pink is amazing it really looks like I've just been for a brisk walk on a cold winter's morning (healthy & glowing not beetroot & sweaty! Lol). Honestly I've finally found my perfect blusher, I don't even need anything underneath it - if I'm running late in the morning - a swipe of eyeliner & a dab of this on each cheek, & in 2 minutes I look presentable! I think the price is reasonable too for the quality & the length of time it lasts - I've paid twice as much for a very well known lip & cheek stain that didn't give me much 'benefit' at all... Fyi I have pale skin with a slight olive tone, & in the summer I'm quite tanned & this worked well in both seasons I just needed to use a bit more of it on my tanned skin. It might be a bit bright for very pale skinned girls but perhaps you'd just have to be cautious & use a tiny amount. I never write reviews but had to 'share how great this little pot is. 

It's too shimmery and emphasizes every pore on my skin ... Also has no lasting power

Received this in my beauty box and wasn't too sure as I have previously always used a powder blusher. I have started using this as my new staple blusher and I am converted. It is a lovely texture and only a tiny amount goes a far way and really brightens up your face. Brilliant product that lasts all day!
