@Monstro : That was my fave mascara – Anna Sui full. Awesome huh? I found that if you use fingers to apply the CC it can get oily but if you use a brush its less so, then dust some loose powder over and that takes care of oil and shine. I used to have an Armani blush but found it too try. Guess I never learnt the brush method then!

That looks so nice on your PB! And your lashes look great-the Maybelline? ;-D

Unfortunately, I had the CC in Gerbera and it just didn’t work for me. I think you need to have a pretty nice complexion to use this as the finish is not matte, but a bit shiny? I found that cream blushes don’t work so well on me unless they’re cream to powder finish. Also cream to powder formulas seem easier to blend-for me, at least! I really like the GA cream blush as well as Lush’s B-never cream blush

@Connie : The stippling brush does diffuse the colour so try it – maybe it’ll work this time.

@YZ: Hmmm… now I’m wanting to look at Peony because thats such a pretty name!

@reeka: Nope I haven’t tried BB’s pot rouge simply because of my phobia of cream blushes. Perhaps now I’ll take a second look at it.

@MissSmall: It always looks so good when the sales people put it on us but try the brush method. I find it works better. And Penny Lane is a pretty colour!

I, too, can never use cream blushes. Bought Nars cream blush in penny lane coz the cosmetician did such a beautiful job on my cheeks, which I, for the life of me, can’t figure out how to replicate. Though after reading this post, I wonder if I should give it another try.

Hi PB…

I love lilium also!! it’s a pretty base which match to all blushes (for me). And I use the skunk brush too,…hihihi. I use the infamous 187, the SE one. I dont have a heart using my regular 187 for cream blush LOL.

Have u tried BB Pot Rouge? It’s lovely also. U must try….:)

I have a Convertible Color in Peony, which is more suited to my NC30 skintone. It gives a nice flush of colour to my cheeks I totally agree with everything you said in the review, down to the fact that it does not work well as a lip colour – too dry, really.
I use Peony CC when I’m in a hurry, blending it on top of tinted moisturizer. Have yet to try it over powder foundation though. And yes, I definitely have to get myself a MAC skunk brush one day….

Ooh.. I have this but the travel size one. Seldom use it though. The color didn’t suit me too well. Looked too pink on me. Neat that you tried it with the stippling brush! I’ll try to give it a whirl.

PB, yes, i’ve set my mind to purchase that when I go to HK, I heard MAC products are cheaper there compared to Philippines
