Review: Gosh Flower Power blush

Another product I picked up in London, this Gosh blush in Flower Power is one of those raved about products that I was super excited to try. There are many a folk that love this. 

Firstly, the color is beautiful. It's that perfect flush of pink that makes me think of the rosy cheeks on any woman in a Rococo painting. Fragonard The Swing, anyone?

 It's like a pinky rose, almost the color I would naturally blush. It's honestly one of the prettiest colors I've ever used.

Why yes, I am naked. Here I have the color on the cheekbones blended into the apples and in the crease of my eyes.

I love applying it pretty much all over the cheeks, apples, cheekbones, a little bit up onto the temples, and I love warming up the crease of my eyes with this. It seriously looks so pretty in the eyes. 

That said, the formula is slightly disappointing. While it is pigmented,  I do find this to be way too powdery and chalky. The instant I dip my brush in the product, it kicks up a ton of powder. Many brush tappings are necessary with this product.

I also find that it applies very patchily. I do have to work with this blush and blend very well and gradually build up color. 

The color lasts a fair amount of time, and it's not too faded by the time I remove my makeup. 

Packaging is average. I would've liked a mirror. But hey, it's cheap.

Despite the formula, I do really like this blush. The color is just so gorgeous, I can work with it. That said, I do think I'll be looking for a similar color in a different blush line. 

What's your favorite blush color?
