The packaging is so cute! Even if I didn't know about Candy Doll, the box alone would've caught my eye.
Though small, the blush comes in a clear pan with a cute design on the front. :3
Really gorgeous bubble gum pink color. ♥
My blush came specially packaged with this nifty brush and case. I always use it when I put on Candy Doll. ^__^
Here are what my cheeks looked like before applying the blush.
And with the blush! This photo was taken with natural lighting. I think the color looks just as vibrant on my cheeks as it does in the pan.
I really caked the blush on my face, but my camera doesn't seem to pick it up very well. It looked much heavier in person!
With flash, you can definitely see the color a lot better. It's funny because when my little cousin saw me that day, he told me I looked like Pikachu! xD
Overall, I absolutely love this blush! It's the perfect shade of pink for me. ♥ Although heavily pigmented, it's not too heavy when applied lightly. The best part is that it shows up well in photos, especially with flash. ^__^ I'd say the only disadvantages are its small size and lack of availability in the U.S. It's a bit more expensive to buy it online, but quite easy to obtain. There's just that anticipation of getting it in the mail. xD

This is my blush of choice! I like that it (sometimes) shows up in photos, though as you said it can get quite pink easily XD
ReplyDeleteso beautiful! the color is so vibrant too! I saw this at the store the other day but didn't pick it up because I wasn't sure how the pink would show up in a medium/tan complexion....So glad you reviewed it ^_^

Too much Candy Doll and Dolly Wink ever, it's such a teaser! LOL. I'm very fortunate to be able to buy it 10 minutes away from me, but it's just so pricey >w< Then again, it must be cheaper than brands like MAC or Sephora, right? I'm super tempted to pick up some Candy Doll products. This blush is SO adorable, how can I resist.... nrghhhh!!
ReplyDeletethank you for the review and the links - i really don't like tsubasa but the dolly wink items are great :) i think the blush looks good on you - i use blush from canmake but there is to much glitter inside the powder - i think i should try the dolly wink one.
ReplyDeleteI think the blush suits you very well!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour, it's so vivid! ♥
Wow, Tricia, you look so gorgeous!! Thanks for that useful review!
ReplyDeletei also have the problem with it not picking up on my camera too ><
ReplyDeletebut i love this blush! you can always layer it for a bright pink or go lightly for a softer pink, it's so versatile :D
it looks great on you~ lol pikachu XD your cousin is so cute!
tricia dear you're so beautiful! ♥♥ the blush really does have a perfect shade as you said~ i'm looking for a nice pink blush as well so maybe i should give this one a try! if i dare to buy it because of the price haha... :'D

Wow! It's pretty nice that cute case and brush came with the blush! the color is a huuuuuge pop. :D I hate how it's always hard for blush to show up well in photographs too.
ReplyDeletethanks for this review, I like the before/after! Now I see the results, I have to buy it ! oh by the way, the link to the 1st shop (an ebay store) isnt working for me (ebay have countries restriction...) even if they do ship internationally. Hopefully, I'll visit tokyo in 2 weeks so I can get it here for cheaper ^-^
ReplyDeleteAwww Triciaaa you're so adorable!! I love the way you do your make-up - alwayyyyssss (●´―｀●)
