I found out about the MaxFactor creamy blush from Deb's review, so a big Thank You, Deb! She got a paler/pink blush, but I am darker skinned, and the other colours in this range just would not show up on my skin. I decided to go with "Soft Candy" - or the Tomato Blush as I call it :D
As the name suggest, this is a cream blush, comes in a small round plastic container (a larg coin size). Fairly simple packaging - twist open plastic top, use clean fingers or brush to apply.
The colour looks a scary red in the pan, but is much tamed down on the skin with a little blending. I do feel, though, that this colour would look better on darker-skinned girls; lighter skins would need a more careful (very less) application, at least. Just my opinion, which of course is very prone to being wrong since I don't even know how to apply a blush properly :D
If I had to find faults with this: The packaging is not very sturdy. I have not broken or damaged it in anyway, but it seems pretty easy to do so. Max Factor also does not mention any ingredient list anywhere.

ReplyDeleteOh and Deb had mentioned that these can be used as lipbalms...I never tried..I don't think I want to waste this on lip balm work..anyway my lips are too pigmented for anything to show up.
ReplyDeleteoh great...pls send pic....the consistency is very much like a lip balm....:D

I have seen your pic..in that lazy bum smokey eye makeup post..and if you do have marks..they sure are not seen in the pics. And ya, no way I can use any blush without a foundation or some sort of a covering over my face :D
ReplyDeletesee you cannt see the marks coz of my foundation - seriouisly if there is one thing I would say that you HAVE to get from MAC its the foundation ... it makes me actually believe I have flawless skin (I swear to god I dont) :(
ReplyDelete- J
Will definitely ask them to try it on my face the next time I am there - what should I ask for? I want to try he one you had on in the pic.
ReplyDeleteI hate you Beepo rani.....waise hee you have round round cheeks....upar se red red....
ReplyDeleteIkky.....I love you.............
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteStudio Tech is the best for marks n all... but can be cakey if not applied right - it was reviewd on imbb n what i was using .... Studio Fix fluid is better for daily use, has spf 15 in it :P and the coverage is more of the buildable type :D works just fine on my marks as well :D my marks got so so bad a while ago my aunt thought i had an infection or something :( :( :(
ReplyDeletesurpanaka - why you hate me ??? blush is radsooos not mine ... i dont have sexy sexy tomato blush ... :(
- J
Oh okay..I prefer liquid foundations..I don't know why :D Right now using YSL something foundation..don't know the name - that's also similar to what you described. Will def try when I go next time - I keep thinking I should try something but I go into that store, and my brain freezes :D
ReplyDeleteOMG- such a lovely blushy blush... its going straight in my wishlistt.. Rads- I know u didnt like it- give it to me ;)
ReplyDeletetry the studio fix fluid with spf 15 in that case :P

ReplyDeleteno wonder its soo amous.. :P
Btw, speaking of marks, even i do have few marks on my left chick and some dark circles :(((
Tried wat not... but finallyyy....
The RAY of HOPe...... :D
I bought Kraylon concealer..... :)))
Its the BHESHTESt ....
Got it from bangalore only, ... I so wanna do a review but dont have a camera to click... i guess will borrow some friend's camera and do it... :))
Heyy thanks Kruti..that would be so useful. Please do a review on it some time. :D
ReplyDeletei just want to lay my hands on this, i am so loving seeing this blush on your blog, i come to see it every now and then :)
ReplyDeleteHahahaa..where do you stay..if you don't mind my asking you..because someone had said it's discontinued..it is very much available everywhere in Bangalore.
ReplyDeletei stay in pune, and at this place, nothing is available, even lakme trio blush bhi nahi........
ReplyDeleteOhh..but try asking for this at the MF counter..because this is a very old product and they don't really advertise it naa. Lakme Earth Blush tho was a hard-to-find item just about everywhere..:)
ReplyDeletei am back, hey one more question, is your skin oily, and whats ur skin tone, i wanna be doubly sure before i buy this, :)
ReplyDeleteRentu..my skin is oily-combination - not really oily-shiny kinds though I am acne prone. Skin tone - :D really am not sure but I am pretty much darker skinned..dont know who to compare with but average South Indian skin colour..The blush does give a shine to the face when on applying because it is glossy and I settle it with powder which kind of makes it look normal. Like a very light dusting over it...hope I made some sense :D :D am really not good with makeup :D
ReplyDeletehey thanks, me all set for it :)
ReplyDeleteIf you find a tester check it..I couldn't find testers here for this..so just went with Deb's review..:)
