Don't Hold Your Breath...

I've read tonnes of good reviews about this product, including ones that said it was best for people with pale skin, so i decided to treat myself and try it out :)


To be completley honest, it wasnt what i expected. It comes out very pale (not the same as it looks in the box) & you have to apply more than usual for it to take effect. It's definatley not going to be a favourite of mine, but it is nice for a change i guess.


I love the packaging, smell and quantity, its just a shame that it wasnt the colour i expected. I actually think it might be better in summer, when my face has a slight tan, so i will do another review if my views change :)


I do like the look of "Thrrrob" though, definatley going to be brighter, anyone got it and reccomend it?

Hope your all having a good weekend,
Jen

@amaris - I did upload the bottom picture, but it corrupted & wasn't showing, just re-uploaded it so you should be able to see.

Thanks for this review! I was tempted to buy this as I'm in need of a blusher but I'm really pale and after what you've said, this may not give much of an effect :)
We followed!

Love Ellen

I completely agree, I was a bit shocked by how un-pigmented it seemed! But it does create a pretty pink flush when enough is used. Absolutely love your blog!
