Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Blusher in Pinker Belle

A little while ago I was invited to join ProductTesting.uk.com. They send out free makeup and beauty products to bloggers in exchange for a review, and... well, they had me at "free makeup". I signed up, and a few days later I received my product in the post. It turned out to be a cream blush by Soap and Glory - their Sexy Mother Blusher in Pinker Belle. I also got this cool poster. Look how happy I am!

I haven't tried a huge amount from Soap and Glory, but what I have, I like. I've also never used a cream blush before, so I was quite excited to try the product out.

First off, I'm not a massive fan of the packaging. I feel like there's something slightly cheap and plasticky about it, but I can overlook that. What's important is what's inside! When you remove the lid, you see a nice thick dome of product that looks a pretty intense, bright pink. It also smells of coconut, which is a lovely bonus in my book.

The blush looks a little scary when you first apply it - you look like one of those dolls with the perfectly round, little hot pink cheeks. But once you blend it in, you get a really subtle, warm glow, like this.

I really like this blush. It's easy to apply and to carry around and gives a nice natural flush to the cheeks that lasts a good few hours. Pinker Belle, as I said, is a warm pink that would probably suit most skin tones. There's also a peach and a berry shade available and I might well give those a try.
