Happy Sunday, everyone!
I'm having mixed feelings about something I got recently from Sephora. The good thing is that it was technically free - one of the 100 point perks I got a choice in redeeming as part of their V.I.B program. I got a deluxe sample of Urban Decay Afterglow Glide-on Cheek Tint in the shade Quickie.
I had been going back and forth about buying this product, so I was glad to get a chance to test it out before deciding to purchase.
Now that I've had an opportunity to play with it, I'm not sure I would buy it.
Here is what the color looks like:
It's very creamy and does actually 'glide on'. To apply it, I just swiped my finger on the color and then dotted it on the apples of my cheek, blending it out with my fingers. Here's a swatch in natural light:
This blush is very neon. It's actually more neon than Desire, by NARS (which I already own). Both products are the same kind of neon pink color - Urban Decay just amped up the neon a bit more in theirs. Here's a side-by-side shot of the blushes:
My first thought when applying this blush was 'wow, this looks fake!'. I just saw that neon pink Barbie-esque shade sitting on my skin, and it did not look natural. Desire by NARS does a better job of blending and looking natural.
I'm going to give this blush a few more tries before I make my final like it or loathe it decision; I'll post a full review then, too.
Have any of you tried this blush? What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear your experiences with the product!
