Inexpensive Beauty Find: Maybelline Angelfit Brighten Up Blush in Wooden Rose & Giveaway

I am not usually interested in Maybelline at all but their Asia-exclusive line Angelfit somehow attracts me and the Brighten Up Blush was really cheap on Sasa so I got the one in Wooden Rose anyway. 

The blush comes in a clear and pink plastic case with a tiny cheek brush enclosed. The brush isn´t the best but neither the worst I ever saw in a blush compact (that award goes to Covergirl!!). 
The case looks a bit flimsy but is actually a bit bulky and relatively sturdy in my opinion. 

The texture is actually excellent. It´s a finely milled silky but not overly soft powder with very fine shimmer giving a glowy and healthy finish. 
This blush is sheerly pigmented but it shows up with just a few layers when using my MAC blush brush. 

Wooden Rose is a very natural pink-beige shade which can be combined with about 90% of my lipsticks and lipgloss stash. It´s such a wonderfully versatile shade I like to wear it a lot these days.

I got this from Sasa for around US$6, the blush is made in China.
Rating 5/5

    I have two questions for you Kathy: what eyeshadow primer are you using right now, and do you know of any product that fills in the lips' vertical lines?

  87. Cute!!

    I've seen that blush on Sasa too, and I keep debating whether I want to get it or not. I think I just like the brand name of Angelfit. Why can't the US side of Maybelline have cute names like that? Xp

    ReplyDelete
  88. one of the reasons why I want to visit asia, I find drugstore brand makeup better for my skin than what I find here in the US. :\
