lancôme blush subtil review

Hello my beautiful sunshines! :)

Today, I decided to do a review on the "lancôme blush subtil" because my friends wanted to know how they were like so I thought, "why not just post it on my blog?". Anyways, I received these sample/travel sized (0.07 ounces) blushes in "Rose Fresque" and "Shimmer Mandarin Sky" as a gift from previous lancôme purchases. Anyways, let's get started!

First of all, these blushes retail for $30 and you get 0.18 ounces of product. (Lancome Deal: Receive 10% off of your purchase. Expires 7/23/2013.)

Lancôme states that this blush "delivers natural-looking, long-lasting color" and is "a silky-soft, micro-bubble formula glides on easily and evenly" AND is "moisture-balancing and oil-absorbing properties from mica keep skin comfortable and color true."

PACKAGING

The packaging is made out of a shiny black plastic with a rose embossed on the front.(I don't think the full size has it) The packaging also included a mirror inside and a blush brush(full size only).

COLOR/SWATCHES

(from left to right: shimmer mandarin sky, rose fresque)

(order is the same as picture above)

SHIMMER MANDARIN SKY: This is a beautiful coral-y salmon color with gold shimmers. Perfect for summer.(lancome description: salmon peach with soft gold shimmer)

ROSE FRESQUE: This is a gorgeous soft dusky rose color with no shimmers. This one is my favorite for everyday wear. (lancome description: dusty rose-y pink.)

TEXTURE/QUALITY

These blushes are not very pigmented, but when you glide it over your cheeks, it gives the prettiest hint of color without making you look like Nicki Minaj. The blush is in fact buttery and very soft and lasts for a decent amount of time. I honesty do not think it "absorbs" oil, for me at least. This blush is very good quality and I would purchase it in full size. (I'm thinking "soft pink")

So what are your thoughts on these blushes? :)
