flower beauty blush bomb color drops for cheek in pinched

the packaging: it comes in a colorful and comical box with transparent plastic window so you can see the tube inside from the outside. the background has "bomb" illustration to emphasize the "blush bomb" name. you can see the shade name on top left of the box. there's description at the back of the box in english as well as ingredients list. it comes in 9 ml which is just 1 ml less than glossier cloud paint. the tube itself is a white squeeze tube with color-coordinated illustration so you can guess the shade from the tube. it has pointy snout so you can dispose exact amount of the blush according to your need. it's quite hard to squeeze so even though i'm quite clumsy, i never spill it out. the snout is covered with transparent plastic cap.

the shade: there are 6 shades available ranges from light to bright, from neutral, peachy, pink to berry shade and bright coral. i picked pinched, which looks like quite natural, light peachy shade. on light skin tone, it would be okay even looks natural, but if you have medium to dark skin tone, it wouldn't show up on your skin. you can mix shades with the glossier one, but since i only have one, i can't say that it's the same with this one.

the product: i wouldn't say that this is a liquid blush. it's more like gel-like blush. you can control the amount that you want to use by adjusting the pressure when you squeeze the tube. i bought pinched, which is probably the lightest one, so i can use it more liberally than other shades. but for brighter and deeper shades, i think a little goes a long way.

the result: i've used this blush several ways. i've used sponge, my finger and attempted to use it with brush. but i like using my finger to blend this. i don't have brush that's dense enough to spread the brush and doesn't leave streak mark, so i didn't use brush because of that reason. but if you have brush that works well with cream blushes, i think you can try using blush to apply it. as for sponge, it absorbs too much product and i have to put layers of it to get the color shown enough on my cheeks. so that's why my fingers work best. it spreads easily under the warmth of my finger but remember to just tap the blush and not dragging it since it might move the foundation underneath. once it's blended enough, it doesn't change to powdery finish, so it will give dewy look. if you're into dewy look, then this is the right product for you. but since i don't like overly dewy look, i usually put powder on top and then use another powder blush since the color will fade if i put powder on top. since i never use this without powder, i can't say how long it will stay without powder. but if i use powder on top, it would stay about 6 hours or so, even in hot days, as long as you don't rub your face. and you can use this over powder as well without looking patchy. so you can use this for touch up as well.

i think i like all flower beauty products that i tried, even this blush. though i wish it would a bit more vibrant. but then, it would be more like nectar (which is slightly more peachy and a bit brighter). i like it for travelling since i don't need to bring brushes, i just need to pat this with my finger and set it with powder. i never tried glossier cloud paint so i can't decide whether or not this is a dupe for it. but if you're on a budget and you can get this easily, you should try one. especially if you like cream/liquid blush. but for me, i don't think i'll buy another one merely because it's not sold here and buying through preorder system means i have to pay much more than the original price. that being said, i don't think i'll repurchase it. and for those in indonesia, if you're curious about this type of blush, BLP beauty has liquid blush in similar packaging like this one, so i think if i ever finish this blush, i'll try BLP one next time.
