Heads up to some of my favorite blushes now of all time. The defining singles from Catrice have won me over. I bought one shade for a start, Rose Royce (my review here!) which is now one of my top blushes, a beautiful slightly coral rose shade and then since then I've went back and picked up 3 more shades!

Packaging & Product!
Simple, sleek, compact, clear and well labelled, there's no big problems with the packaging except that if it falls and the plastic holding the hinge cracks you'll be losing the snap shut cover. Other than that which is the case that you don't drop your blush this packaging gives you a great 5 grams of product more than most western drugstore companies as well as being very easy to chuck into a make up bag or to see what shade is inside.
The product compared to my favorite lancome blush in Rose Sable is quite a match. These blushes are so pigmented, silky smooth and fine textured. Due to how most of them in the regular line don't have shimmer but more of a soft glow it's very versatile on different skin types. The only down side I can think of is lasting power. They are like normal blushes that wear off with touching, rubbing or sweating throughout the day however I almost never touch up my blush so it's not a problem for me.
The shade of Roswood Forest is a deeper plummy colored rose shade. It almost is a light berry like shade, I bet this would look amazing on tanner and much deeper skin tones! Olive skintones too! Maybe a bit too strong for the fair and pale, unless you go with a light hand and a very fluffy brush!

Recommend: Yes! For the amount and quality you can't find any other brands at the moment at the drugstore here that gives you the same for the price.
Repurchase: Yes! There are only 6 shades, I've picked up 4 so far and am loving them all! I don't think I'll be getting the other 2 left as I'm not a fan of baby doll pinks or very tan brown cheek shades!
Bottom line: Beauttiful pigmented plummy rose shade, use a light hand and a fluffy small blush brush, this is such a versatile and perfect shade for my taste. I love how it's soo damn cheap here compared to everything else from the drugstore and yet no quality is compromised!
Do you have a thing for plummy rose berry cheek shades?
What do you normally reach for on a normal day?
Let me know!
Feel free to comment!
Thank you!
Oh, this looks like something I would love. I'm really into darker colors for my blushes:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty on you and I really like your makeup here! :) x
Aw, thanks...this is a gorg plummy medium shade, great on almost all complexions!
DeleteWow, it certainly is much more affordable than US drugstore brands :) The blush looks like a very autumnal colour but very pretty on your cheeks. Your skin always looks super flawless in your photos. I tend not to go for plummy colours (though I do have NARS Sin and Benefit Dallas) as I find there's always the risk of looking slightly bruised if you accidentally overdo it, but when it's done right and the shade flatters your skin tone, it's a welcome change from the usual pinks/peaches that tend to dominate the blush category.
ReplyDeleteEspecially compared to Australia! Yes, I think on lighter skin this could be too much and it's an easier deeper shade to try!
DeleteOooh I have rosewood forest as well and it is one of my fave drugstore blushes! catrice always have wonderful blushes, they are all well made, pigmented and look pretty on the cheeks!
ReplyDeleteyour skin looks so flawless in your pict!
They are amazing! After my first one.. I just ended up getting more!
Deletegot the same and i simply love it! catrice is really cheap but the quality is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it came to singapore, girls really need more affordable make up!
DeleteThis blush looks amazing - the quality, the amount, the price, and the colour. Rosewood forest looks stunning on you as well! I'm not sure how well this shade would suit me as I tend to shy away from anything similar in this range and stick to the safe pink and peach colours, but if I could get my hands on this then I certainly wouldn't mind giving it a try. :)
ReplyDeleteit's such a great bargain for your quality! The shade I think would work for you! You just need a light hand!
DeleteIt looks so pretty on you and I really like your makeup here! :) x I really love the shade but I'm not sure how well this shade would suit me. I love your makeup and glowing cheeks sweetie <3
ReplyDeleteI think this shade would be beautiful on you my dear!
Deleteit look so pretty on your cheeks, giving you a much define contour , loving it ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, a deeper plummy shade or rose with warm brown tones can do that naturally!
DeleteOmigosh this looks amazing!! Totally gorgeous on you!! I really regret not trying a blush from them... Did you buy it online? :)
ReplyDeleteOh don't regret! Just go and get it! I'm in Singapore and if you haven't seen my other post Catrice in Singapore is available at a lot of gaurdians!
