Though I collect makeup and brushes.
I hardly use them
I got fascinated with tints a month ago.
I read that a lot loved the vmv one, but when I went to buy it,
I found out that it was no longer sold.
I have one by body shop but I didn't know how to really blend it.
I was reading reviews about ellana lip and cheek tint.
I wanted to try but I couldn't find a good swatch on it.
So when one time I passed by a stall selling ellana
I tried to ask then about it but they did not have it in stock.
then I saw the ellana lip/cheek dot.
since it was only P180. I thought why not give it a try.
and I am so happy I did.
It gave me natural looking blush that not even nars and shiseido could give...
don't get me wrong
I love my powder blushers but
I could not achieve a natural look as what these dots can do.
texture is creamy, like cream blush.
this is how it looks like on my hand and cheeks
Color description on packaging
Icon is strawberry red
Illusion watermelon peach
since my skin is yellow tone, peach does not show much but still gives you a healthy flush.
When topped/sealed with powder, this last 6-8hrs for me.
It looks natural on me.
my skin is not oily, I think normal/combination skin.
only if topped with powder.
I tried this as base then topped with powder blush, it looked great on photo.
So I really recommend it.
The only con I have for this is the packaging.
it is really a size of a dot.
If you are familiar with mineral eyeshadow samplers, then that is the size.
Good thing I have a round brush that fits it.
Using my brush I put a dot size color on my cheeks then buff away.
