I’ve been in love with a stick blush recently – and I haven’t even tried it on my cheeks yet! The culprit is the gorgeous Iman Rubor blush, a pale cool toned (!!!!) pink with just the right amount of super-fine shimmer. It looks pretty daunting in the tube, but I can assure you: when applied, it’s pure heaven!

Unlike most stick and cream blushes (read: all other cream blushes I’ve ever encountered) it dries to a gorgeous powder finish – none of this sticky nonsense! This is great because a)you don’t have to pile on powder to set it, b)it’s very portable and can be used anywhere, and c)it stays for-e-ver. From this, I know that once I do try it on my cheeks, I will love it. It has everything required for the perfect stick blush.

I can’t yet write a review (in part because I haven’t tried it for it’s intended purpose and in part because I’m emotionally and physically exhausted from watching Grey’s Anatomy and crying my eyes out the whole time) but I can share some photos with you!!

Have a great Wednesday, girls.

Fear-inducing! I never thought I’d use this.

But it’s fucking gorgeous.

See?

Anyhow, here are some swatches. Sorry they’re so dim – it’s been gorgeously cloudy, but that’s not flying so well with my camera!
Top = blended, bottom = straight swatch

After washing – impressive, right? I had to use remover to get them off.
