When word leaked out that Dior was doing a cream blush in little pots that looked like macarons, you should have seen how much of a tizz the beauty blogging world went into! Suddenly cream blush was back IN! I’d say its rather opportune since I’ve only just worked out how best to apply cream blush for a lovely natural look, so I was finally brave enough to tackle these.
For your viewing pleasure today is the Diorblush Cheek Creme in 651 Panama and 851 Capri, 2 of the 4 shades available in the capsule Summer Mix collection. The cream blushes come with matching nail polishes in similar bright pops of colour.
Dior’s offering come in a glass pot with a black screw on cap, with CD printed on the cover. What I like about the pots is that the opening is large so its easy for you to get your fingers or the tip of a brush in there quite easily. It reminds me of the pots used for cream eyeshadow and its about as big.
Something that perturbs me when I open the cap is to find that the cream blush has “shrunk”. You may notice even from a brand new tub, that the sides are pulled away from the glass tub and if you are experimental as I am and upturn the tub over your palm, the cream blush falls out like a little cake. It does look very much like a macaron at this point! 😛 In this regard, I do think a little work needs to be done with the formula in terms of presentation. In terms of performance, I have to say, colour me impressed!
