New Blush Delights Await!

I trialed the impressive new/improved JI blush. The new compact design is a rounded off square, easy to handle and open, closes with a light magnetic draw much like the lipstick cases. It has an elegant look and feel, not refillable similar to the previous rounded blush compact. There is a mirror in... the top, and the blush is round and ample size. I use a small, rounded blush brush to tap the top of the blush lightly, then tap it to my cheek where I want the most concentrated color. (It doesn't even look like you have product on the brush, but there is plenty so no need to rub or grind your brush across this.) Once tapped onto cheek, swept the brush toward the hairline where I wanted to extend color. There was plenty of product on the brush and I did not have to go back and add more to my cheekbone or cheek line. This product, compared to the previous powder blush, is much creamier to the touch (although a powder), applies smoother and more evenly. It just glides on- one swipe and done. I also applied some to my lips with pinkie finger- a nice smooth enhancement to lip color without looking like I had lipstick on and not looking like I powdered my lips. It looked and felt smooth and natural. Removed easily from cheeks and lips with a swipe of a cotton round with micellar water. Very impressed with the look, feel, texture, application and removal of the new/improved JI blush. My preference color is Mystique- even though I'm a 67yo, light to medium complexion with fine lines female- this is a beautiful shade, so try something outside your comfort zone ladies. You're going to love the improvements!
