Deserved Rating:

1.   Packaging:
4.3/5 – Small and sturdy. I find it cute as I really like blushes packed in small pots. It has a nice sturdy lid and once I hold it in my hands I can say I am satisfied and feel something that I can’t explain. Can get a little unhygienic if used with fingers because it contains mineral oil that can act a perfect platform for the bacteria to grow (as bacteria grow mostly on moist areas).
2.   Texture:
4.5/5 – Soft, smooth, buttery and creamy which melts perfectly into the skin and looks so pretty. Blends easily without much hassle.
3.   Lasting Power:
4.5/5 – Great considering it is a cream blush. Cream blushes mostly don’t last for more than 3 hours.
4.   Shade Color:
5/5 – I just love this shade and how natural it comes on your skin. It is really pigmented but once it’s on the skin it adds that pinkish flushed kind of glow to your cheeks without making them look cakey. You don’t look like a clown because it melts into your skin leaving just a nice pink flushed finish.
5.   Overall Rating:
4.5/5 – Great cream blush for the price. I absolutely love it and want to collect more shades in it. I am eyeing some already. Will update as soon as I buy them.

Do I recommend it?

Yes, but with limitations especially for those with oily skin.

Why do I commend it?

I recommend because it is worth recommending. I recommend it because it is great for the price, I recommend it because it makes me look pretty, I recommend it because it adds a flushed pinkish glow on my cheeks, I recommend it because it lasts a decent amount of time, I recommend it because it melts like butter, I recommend it because it blends amazingly well without much effort and I recommend it because I loveeeeeeeeeeee it. People with oily skin please stay away. It is not something for you and any cream blush for that matter is not for those with oily skin types.
