As a k-drama fanatic, and l can't help but notice how soft and the cheeks of the female celebrities looked. I've always imagined people with those cheeks to stride along the fringe of a garden's stream with baby pink cheeks that pushes the morning midst, birds chirping at the innocent glow on the sides of the girl's face. Ok, before I get carried away (lol), this blush does gives you that magical feeling during application.
The exterior is designed with a princessy package, which is as beautiful as the other jill stuart products. Because this is limited edition, there are black lace-like patterns on the top and in white on the cap of the brush. The non-limited edition packaging will be exactly the same without the lace-patterns (you still get patterns on the brush), which is also very pretty. It comes with a nice soft brush with strong bristles, brushes with stronger bristles will give the powder a more pigmented effect. If you just want a light veil on your cheeks, you can brush the powder on with just the tip of the bristles (this works for me). However, if that doesn't work for you, you can always switch to a softer brush =)
General Rule of Thumb: The bigger the brush, the less pigmented the colour will look.
Here's what the normal packaging looks like (sorry, you can't really see the cover ><):

| 102 classic camellia |
Shade:
There are two colours in this blush pact, a tint shade(right) and a summer shade(left). The "directions" says to put the summer shade on before the tint shade. This will give the cheeks more colour yet feeling soft because of the summer shade base. However, I also like to switch that order and use the summer shade as a veil for a translucent effect. In my opinion both ways are beautiful, and it really depends on what makeup look I want that day and what clothes I'm wearing.
The colour of this blush is awesome. It is a very classic colour, hence the name classic camellia. It is
pink, girly, rosy with no hint or sheen of other colours. Pure pink radiance. Because of this, it matches well with the natural luster of the skin and is easy to match with clothes and other makeup. You can use this blush for a natural tint of the cheeks or a dreamy dolly look. Unfortunately, this is a limited edition colour, but they do have other colours that looks amazing as well :)
These are the other colours :)
Aren't they pretty??? ^^
There's also a faint sweet floral scent and makes it extra dreamy!
Texture:
The powder texture is SO smooth and fine! I feel like i'm putting silk on my face ^^ I've never seen a blush with powder this fine before. It definitely glides onto the skin smoothly. Say bye bye to chucky powder cheeks! General Rule of Thumb #2: Because Loose Powder haven't been pressed, it blends into your skin better than pressed ones.
For those of you who wants to see more of this product, here's the special movie jill stuart made for the blush (which is basically and ad. lol) It's short but beautifully made =)
