Physicians Formula$16.99Butter Glow & Go Multiuse Stickshade · Sunkissed Rose- “One of my absolute holy grail products”
- “It does have quite a strong fragrance. Now I kind of like it. It smells coconuty, but if you are sensitive to fragrance, if you just don't like fragrance, then you are going to want to give this one a miss”▶ 9:40
- “This is one of the most beautiful blushes I've honestly ever used”▶ 9:56
- “This is very comparable to high-end”▶ 10:02

- “This is surprisingly easy to work with despite it being very very pigmented”▶ 14:11

- “It still maintains that kind of hydrated feel of the cream”▶ 14:41

- “It definitely has that understated radiance to it and it feels and just looks so incredibly smooth”▶ 17:09
- “I definitely find that when I wear this, I feel like I have that natural lit from within glow rather than something really really in your face”▶ 17:18

Dior$44.00Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush Stickshade · Rosewood- “I don't think there's anything pH activated about this at all. Not even a little bit. So, if you are worried about that, you are completely safe”▶ 18:32
- “The one negative of this blush is the fragrance. Now, this is a different fragrance to the Physicians Formula. This is kind of I would describe it as a vanilla/minty fragrance. However, I don't mind it. I kind of like the smell of this”▶ 18:43
- “I love the look of this”▶ 19:01
- “This, by the way, is very similar to the Physicians formula. Everything about it from the shade to the finish”▶ 19:03
