saie dew blush - rosy

bear with me. some of the posts will be reviews of my newly-purchased stuff that i bought from the US. yes, that's right. i went to the US and i had this long list of stuff that i wanted to buy while i was there. and i mostly checked the items in my list so i was pretty happy. anyway, since i have only one face, i decided only to buy one more blush. i already bought rare beauty liquid blush, so i decided not to buy more shades. but, i wanted to try other blushes, so i narrowed down to either danessa myricks new release, the blush balm or whatever, or something else that caught my attention when i was there. unfortunately, when i finally swatches danessa myricks, the color didn't seem right for me. don't get me wrong.. they're hella pigmented but the color selections are more suitable for medium to deeper skin tone. the one that i thought would be okay for me, ended up being too dusty. so i decided not to buy it. and just before i departed, glossier decided to retail their products in sephora, so i was thinking to try their cloud paint, but at the last minute, i refrained from buying it. then i remembered saie liquid blush. i was thinking peachy, but the only shades available there was rosy and spicy. so i grabbed rosy after swatching it. luckily, saie is not available in singapore as well, so i don't feel too guilty buying it.
the box
this is the description from their website: blush, but better. dew blush is a cream-gel blush that gives a natural flush of just-pinched color. our chubby doe-foot applicator and lightweight formula lets you create a natural tint (or build it up for a deeper wash of color). never streaky or patchy, dew blush melts right into skin for a seamless, lit-from-within flush.
what it's good for:
- moisturizing and soothing evening primrose. 
- brightening mulberry
- protecting elderberry
shade name on top of the box and under the tube
the packaging: it comes in bluish grey box with the sticker of the shade name stick on top of the box. the blush itself comes in a frosted plastic bottle with black screw cap that has a wand attached to the cap. it has a big doe foot applicator which shaped like an onion bulb to apply the blush. the blush is 12 ml which is 5 ml more than rare beauty liquid blush.
the tube
the color: there are 6 colors to choose from and mine is rosy. according to them, rosy is warm rose. but i think it's more like a medium peachy pink. slightly deeper than peachy. it's perfect for daily and it's not too warm nor too peachy for me. 
the wand
the product: just like described, it's a cream-gel blush. it's not as runny as rare beauty so it's easier to dot it on my face with the doe-foot applicator. i can use my finger or blush to blend the blush but i prefer brush. the pigmentation is just enough. not too pigmented like rare beauty that i have to be careful with blending it. it doesn't dry down too fast that i have to be quick neither. 
how it looks like on my hand
the result: just like the name, it gives glowy finish. it doesn't dry down matte nor powdery so it's perfect for daily or no makeup-makeup routine. as for longevity, since this is quite dewy, it will hold longer if i set it with powder or powder blush on top of this blush. but if i don't, then it will be okay for around 3-4 hours before the color started to fade naturally. 
right: one layer on my cheek (in real life, it looks natural for me, but not so visible on camera)
left: two layers on my cheek (visible on camera but maybe too much in real life)
overall, i'm quite satisfied with this blush. at first i was worried that the color will look too orange or too dark on me. but i was wrong. it doesn't turn too rosy and it looks perfect on me. i also like the finish. i just wish i can finish it since it'd be such a waste to spend 25 USD on a blush and not finish it. i think it'd be suitable for all skin types and the color selection is quite wide, so i think there'd be something for everyone. but since this one is not that pigmented, i'm not so sure that it will show up on darker skin tone. anyway, since saie is not available here, i don't think i'd repurchase more shades for now.
