easy to use but glittery

i have these in glimmering guava, sparkling rose, and glistening peach. i didn't used to use blush much, but these colors piqued my interest. these are good for on the go because they are small and compact, and are good for beginners to use. they don't require a brush and blend out easily with finge...rs. i'm a bit tan and the peach color is light on me, but otherwise i like these colors. however they are glittery, with visible chunks of glitter that often goes on unevenly, because the glittery does not seem to be evenly distributed in the tube. the color itself can also go on unevenly and require extra blending. i don't necessarily mind glittery blush on the cheeks on some occasions especially if i'm not using highlighter, but the glitter looks too visible if i try to put any in the center of my face. they work fairly well as eyeshadows, and i also like to use it for winged eyeliner using the edge of the product, although this gets harder as the sharp edges wear off. it's advertised as being good for using on the lips as well, but you definitely need a lot of lipgloss or lip balm to mix it in with because the cream to powder formula dries the lips out really quickly. while i liked this product when i first got it, i'm quickly becoming tired of how glittery it is, and i'll probably be looking for other blushes.
