Sephora Collection - Colorful Hydrating Powder Blush

As mentioned earlier, Sephora has also revised the formula of their powder blushers, and they managed to come up with something rather extraordinary.

These new blushers are extremely silky to the touch, and pigmentation is beyond anything you would ever imagine. In addition the new formula is enriched with hydrating ingredients, mineral and organic pigments, is non-comedogenic and paraben free. This combination results in smoother application, boosted color intensity and longer wear. Cheeks are hydrated (also by your blusher and not only your skin care), therefore are smoother and have a healthy glow you wouldn't expect.

And, I can confirm, it is all true! The silky powder glides on effortlessly and evenly. Pigmentation and color intensity is heavy!!! I picked up '08 Petale Givre' (or Rose Petal under the link above), which is a pale to medium toned baby pink with matte finish, and I need to be extremely careful with application. I use a MAC 187 duo fibre brush (very very soft, meant for a light application) to pick up as little from the pan as possible, and still I barely need to touch the product in the pan for achieving lovely pink cheeks that last without fading an entire day. Luckily though it is very easy to blend out, and a little goes a very very long way.

The product photo below is not the best as far as color representation goes (it should be 'Petale Givre') so do by all means check these out personally before purchasing. I found most of the colors available absolutely lovely (also completely fell in love with 'Coral Crush' for its lovely golden shimmer), and find no flaws with the packaging either (being the usual plastic but sturdy Sephora compact).

The pan contains 3.2 g of product and while it might not be a lot, it will last you a great deal. Price tag lies at 10.90 EUR a pop, and if you ask me, for a quality product like this that is more than fair. I don't think finding a new blusher will ever be a problem for me again, I will know where to go and what to reach for.
