I was so excited when By Terry came out with these new Cellularose Blush Glaces (.25oz, $58). I wanted the shade Frozen Petal for the longest but, it was always sold out. One day I was browsing the Space NK website and it was in stock and calling my name! This formula is a lot different then any other "cream" blush mainly because it's not a cream. It is more like a gel blush. It is very light weight and meant to give a watercolor effect for a nice glow. It does just that. Applied to the cheeks it is very sheer but, you can build it up. I like to use a small stippling brush, like a MAC 130. When I use my finger I feel like it takes longer to build up the color. I do about two applications only because it is very tacky. It doesn't really dry down. I have tried three coats but, then it looked a bit odd and my hair kept getting stuck in it. The color itself is gorgeous and I really like the way it looks on the cheeks. I just wish it had a better drying power. I think this is great for the no makeup, makeup look I've been going for lately. This works best over a liquid foundation. Over powder it looks funny and makes the foundation break down. Overall I really enjoy the concept of the blush but, for the price I am still a bit iffy. I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5.

Have you tried these blushes ?? What do you think about them ??
gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS color! Though, the fact that it doesn't dry down is a big no-go for me! Might have to skip out on this one!
