THE VERDICT:

Nothing like a pop of color on the cheeks to keep you looking fresh and pretty in this choking hot weather! Speaking of which, have you updated your blush collection for summer already? Pastels are in nowadays, so you might wanna consider them in your next purchase and of course, a blush with good quality should be taken into consideration too!

Maybelline has just released a new line of good blushes called Blush 'Em, a complementing duo of blushes for contouring, highlighting, and blushing. For such a small pan and an affordable product, it's hard to believe that it can do all of these things!

The shade I got is called I Love Pink. (That's pretty straightforward! LOL)

It's a compact blush that you can definitely bring with you anywhere. Case feels ultra light and sturdy enough to survive light falls, and I love the fact that it comes with its own brush. It comes in various color combinations too.

Here's a detailed look at the powders:

Contouring- A cool pink shade with a matte finish

Highlighting- A baby pink shade with a matte finish

You can also use both products individually.

If you combine the two colors, you get a cotton candy pink shade.

The powders are unscented, smooth, and transfer onto my skin easily. They're a little chalky though, but a fluffy powder blush does the trick. Pigmentation is medium yet buildable.

I also realized that the highlighting shade is a good dupe for MAC's matte blush in Angel, a lovely baby pink shade. The difference is, the overall quality of MAC's blush is more superior than Maybelline, but if you're just after the color, then get the latter.

In this photo, I have used the contouring powder on the planes of my cheeks. However, don't expect a PRO kind of contour from the Contouring powder as it's just meant to give your skin a deeper flush and to support the Highlighter-it can't really give your face a slim look, but rather it diverts the attention to the center of your face, taking away the focus on the parts that you want unnoticed such as facial roundness. (Did I make any sense? LOL!)

Now in this photo, I have used the highlighter on the apples of my cheeks. The Highlighting color gives me a fresh and youthful look, and I appreciate the fact that its matte, making it great for daytime use and to those who like their makeup simple and low-key.

Staying power is okay, especially on oily skin: it lasts for a good 3-4 hours. On dry- skinned people, moisturize first before using this product as its chalky texture may have a hard time clinging onto your skin type. On normal- skinned people, this will work pretty fine, but I'd still recommend to prep your skin with moisturizer or primer to improve the staying power of this product.

I like everything about this blush: Its shape, the colors, how it performs on my skin and the price-OH THE PRICE! I'd recommend it to everyone who's looking for a new summery blush-it's good, but it doesn't hurt the wallet.
