Picked up this pretty blush combo at Dollar General for $1.50 because I was looking for a mauvy-pink blush.
The "Mauvee" side is a perfect blushing pink on my fair skin & I don't see the sparkles after applied (which is OK because I really only like sparkles after dark when I'm going out). I swept it on with a blush brush I have -over MMU - using a *very* light hand as this blush has a lot of pigment.

I don't really see "mauve" in it applied or for that matter in the pan. I liked the color more after application.

The blush is still on & looking good -- it's been 12 hours since application & I didn't use any setting powder or spray.

I wore it today with the pink e/s from WnW Sweet as Candy trio, L.A. Colors Auto e/l in Charcoal, and Dr. Pepper lipsmacker. This blush really pulled together a minimalist fresh/natural look.

I didn't wear "Blushing" because it doesn't show up on my face at all but that's no biggie to me & I'm happy that Mauvee worked out! She's a keeper & I think this blush will work year-round when I'm in a 'pink' mood!
One lippie off until I find out it if breaks my face out.
