I bought two MUFE blushes during the Sephora Friends & Family sale. I think it's about time I review one of them... hehe~

Product Review: Make Up For Ever High Definition Blush in #5 Nip Slip

Where can you purchase this: Sephora and Sephora website
Price: $25 for 0.33 fl oz/10mL (I got mine 20% off during the sale)

Made in France

Description on the back: HD Complexion Collection was developed using high performance formulas to create a new generation of make up invisible to high definition cameras and the naked eye.

HD Microfinish Blush is a cream blush that naturally sculpts and highlights the cheeks for a healthy glow. Sericite and cellulose powder create a "soft focus" effect for a radiant complexion. Its ultra-fine, second skin texture blends seamlessly and glides on effortlessly for an easy application. Formulated with specially selected pigments, HD Microfinish Blush comes in a range of pure, luminous colors.

My thoughts: I've been wanting this since it came out, but I guess not enough since I held out for the sale... hehe~ :X My first initial reaction is "Hot dang it's so small!" I mean I saw this at the Sephora in the past, but I never realized it was that small. Either I'm not observant or I'm going crazy. It can go both ways... lol~ :X
I like the idea it comes in a pump! Most cream blushes I have seen comes in a container or in a tube like NYC cream blushes. The idea of using a pump makes me realize how sanitary this product is. That's one good thing about this product, but on the other hand, you don't have the choice of how much you use the product... hehe~ It might bother some people, but it actually doesn't bother me... hehe~ I haven't had bad experience yet. :X
On the website, they say the color is neutral pink. I have to agree and it's a gorgeous pink. I love that it doesn't have sparkles or metallic color to it. It's good to have mixture of blushes and I needed some cream blushes with no extra shine... hehe~
Here's how the blush looks on me. Please excuse my bad quality of picture taking... hehe~ :X For some reason, I can't seem to get the true colors of the blushes and lip products on camera. If you have any suggestion, please tell me! :)

I also think these type of blushes are more for normal to dry skin people. If you have oily skin, I don't think any cream products will last a long time. Since I have dry skin, these blushes last all day for me... wheee~

Pros:
* Cute packaging.
* It comes in a pump making it sanitary.
* Love the color!
* Easy to apply on the cheeks.
* It last all day for me.

Cons:
* Pretty small.
* You don't have a choice of how much the product will pump.
* If you have oily skin, I don't suggest cream blushes.

Would I buy this again: Yes.

Speaking of cream blushes, I bought two more N.Y.C Creme Stick several months ago. I also did a review on these blushes.
I bought one in #644U Plaza Pink.
The other one I bought is in #645U Big Apple Blush.
Here are the swatches from left to right. The left one is Plaza Pink, the middle is Big Apple Blush, and I decided to compare to my first one I bought in Pink Flash.
