In March, I attended The Makeup Show LA 2016.

I was fortunate to receive some products at the Blogger Preview. I already reviewed Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Lip in Rust (top right).

I took this picture from my Instagram. I also bought some products at The Makeup Show LA. I already reviewed Make Up For Ever Artist Lip Blush in Exalted Rosewood (bottom middle), Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin (middle), and Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bow N Arrow (top left).

I got two Urban Decay products that day. I already reviewed Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin which I bought. For this post, I will review the blush I received.

Thoughts: When I first received this blush, I wanted the other shade that was given in our goody bag. From what I recall, the other shade was on the pinker side. I felt this color might be too light for my skin tone or muddy.

Here's the packaging of the blush (left) compared to the highlighter (right). I like that the sizes are the same but you can distinguish them apart from the color; blush is dark silver/gray and highlighter is light silver/gray.

Here's how the blush looks open. It fits with the trend of the Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter.

Here's a closer look at the blush.

Here's a swatch of the blush on my hand.

Here's how the blush looks on me.

Here's an overall look on me. I have Kiko Color Fever Eyeshadow Palette in Unexpected Rosy Taupe on the eyes, BeBella Glow Dust Palette on the high points of my cheeks/tip of nose/cupid's bow, and L'Oreal La Palette Lip in Nude on the lips.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, I'm loving the packaging just like I did with Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin. It has a sleek, lightweight packaging. It also comes with a magnetic opening/closing. I don't have to dig my fingers into the tiny space and break my fingernails. With that said, it doesn't come with a mirror and brush. Some people wouldn't like that but I don't mind. Secondly, the powder is so soft. It feels like butter in-between my fingers. With that said, it's easy to apply. You can use both fingers and brush. I actually use a brush. The powder adheres to the brush easily and goes on the skin really well. I don't have to dig into the blush. With that said, there aren't any loose powder all over the packaging. Even though the powder is soft, it's extremely compacted making it travel-friendly. Third, the color wasn't what I expected. Initially when I saw it in the package, I thought it would be more on the brownish side than peach/coral. It's more peachy/coral than muddy or at least on me. It's a great everyday color that would look great with any makeup from smokey to natural. With that said, it's pretty pigmented. I didn't have to layer as much as I expected. Couple layers was good enough on my in-between light to medium skin tone. Lastly, it lasted all day on me. It did not come off throughout the day. I wore it at home and didn't have to reapply once. Since I have dry skin, things last a long time on me compared to oily skin individuals.

Pros:
* Sleek, lightweight packaging.
* Magnetic opening/closing.
* Soft, buttery powder.
* Easy to apply.
* Adheres to the brush easily.
* Hardly any loose powder all over the packaging.
* Compacted.
* Travel-friendly.
* Prettier color than expected.
* More on the peachy/coral side than muddy.
* Great everyday color.
* Pigmented.
* Lasted all day on me.
* Did not fade or turn greasy looking.

Cons:
* Might not show up on darker skin individuals.

Would repurchase: Yes.
