So, here are photos, and I will try to keep my cool-toned prejudices out of the review ;)

Aside from the shade, I love pretty much everything else about the product. The price (about $10 for 2.5g, regular price) is high for the drugstore, but definitely more than decent for the product itself. What really struck me, though, was the packaging. I usually abhor mineral packaging; it’s all childlike rounded edges and threads that won’t quite fit into the lid. (And yes, that includes the — vastly overpriced — Bare Minerals.) But the Annabelle Minerals packaging if just fabulous, fitting on snugly and feeling sleek and solid! 

I spent a good five minutes just twisting on and off the lid, which is ridiculous… but anyone who’s dabbled in mineral blushers before will understand my crazy love for the well-made packaging. It was like the the skies opened up and shone down liquid happiness! 

I was also quite impressed with the pigmentation and texture of Hush; it applied quite strongly but was easy to sheer out as well. One last thing to note, though, would be the fact that it’s quite shimmery (but not, like, drag-queen glittery, obviously) — the glow is absolutely gorgeous (especially in the sunlight,) but those who have a tendency to shine up during the day may want to be a little more wary!

The verdict? I really liked the formula and packaging, but I wouldn’t personally pick up this one. At this time Annabelle only has three shades, which is unfortunate — but they are different enough that they pretty much cover all skintones, thank goodness! As long as you can check out the shade in-person before buying, I don’t think there should be a problem. (And with Annabelle really only being easily accessible in Canadian drugstores, you’ll all have to see the blushers in person anyway!)
