finally i caved in and bought this one. if you remembered, i was torn between RAD or runa beauty last time, and i decided to try runa. even though it was okay, but somehow it got dry pretty quickly and i'm on the verge of ditching it. and i've finished the ESQA cushion blush, so i decided to buy this one. actually this one is the collaboration with stephanie rose, so i'm lucky that they still have this in stock in sociolla near my house. let's see how it goes.
this is the description from their website: special collaboration with stephanie rose. this eye cheek you pot is a soft dusty rose, buttery cream blush and eyeshadow stuffed with moisturizing ingredients, such as sunflower seed oil, rosehip oil, and shea butter. comes with compact case with mirror, cream to powder formula, and travel friendly size, eye cheek you pot lets you create beauty on the go.
hero ingredients:
- sunflower seed oil: an emollient that softens the skin while also being occlusive too, by locking the skin's natural moisture.
- rosehip oil: has soothing properties and acts an antioxidant.
- shea butter: a sublime emollient that makes eye cheek you pot glides easier on the skin.

the packaging: it comes in a pink box with rainbow hologram at front. they put the shade name on the bottom. at the back, there's a short description and ingredients list. the blush itself comes in a plastic compact. it has pink lid and transparent body. there's mirror inside. unfortunately, it still use the closure and not magnetic one. i hope it still holds up until i finish it. it comes in 2 gr size.

the color: at first there are 4 shades available, peony flush (pink), sunset boulevard (orange/peachy), nutcracker (nude/brownish), mars (brick red). then they make collab with stephanie rose and this shade is added. it's a soft dusty rose which looks mauvy pink to me. a bit darker pink than peony flush.

the product: the cream blush is emollient on the pan. it's smooth and buttery on the touch. i can use my finger or my brush to apply this. it's easier to swirl your finger or brush on the pan since it's more emollient compared to runa. runa feels a bit dry so it's quite hard to pick up.

the result: this one is cream to powder, so once it's set, it feels powdery. but not as dry as the runa one. that being said, you need to set this with powder to make it long lasting. the color is quite vibrant so a little goes a long the way. though you can pat it if you use too much. anyway, since i don't wear makeup for a long time, i can't say how long this blush can hold on, but i guess not that long. but i don't mind. if you don't put powder on top, this looks a bit glowy but not too much. just like the healthy glow?

i like this one better than runa. maybe because it reminds me of canmake cream blush that i used to like? anyway, i only like this shade though, so maybe if they run out of this one, i might not purchase the other shade. i have my eyes on rare beauty cream blushes, so i might not repurchase this one for awhile. not until i run out of options. price wise, it's affordable and sometimes they hold sales, so wait until it's on sale if you're patient.
