Sometimes brands come out with innovative new products that you know you have to have. Other times, brands come out with new products that are a little strange, and that you know you had to try. This product was definitely the latter for me. Something about a water based blush both intrigued and confused me. Keep reading for my thoughts, swatches, and to see me wearing it!
I picked up Stila's Aqua Glow Blush in Rosewater at Sephora for $34 ($26 USD. What is this price hike?!). It comes in a heavy glass jar with a pretty frosted gold lid.This product is part of Stila's Summer 2015 collection. In this collection they also released some new Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks including Venezia, a beautiful orange-red. I purchased and reviewed Venezia, you can read my review here.
When you screw off the cap you are left with a mesh net separating you from the product. The instructions say to shake well before use, which is probably how I got all that product on the lid. Rosewater is described as a "pale pink" with a bit of a shimmering glow to it.
See the mesh netting?
Product facts
The swatch on the left is straight from the lid, the swatch on the right has been diffused a bit with my fingers.
This blush feels very cool when applied. It really is a soft and subtle wash of colour. Nothing bold, nothing crazy, just a soft wash of colour. I love the natural glow this blush creates. Despite my initial misgivings about this product, I really do love it. I find that it is a little weird applied over powder, but applied straight to the skin or over foundation is lovely! I like to set it with HD powder and then some highlighter to really bring out that glow!
I found good results by using a small soft blush brush in short downward strokes starting about two fingers width from my nose.
Pretty glow!
Loving this.
I am really happy with this soft and subtle blush. At first I was a but on the fence with the formula, but after giving it a go and testing it a few ways I can say that when used properly (ie: not over powder) these blushes create a beautiful glow! I would love to add Shimmering Lotus to my collection! Stila has also recently released some new eyeliners in this format that I am curious to try once they hit Canadian shelves!
What new make up products have you added to your collection lately?
