Hello everyone!~ I'm back with another blusher review! A cream blusher this time!
I've tried plenty of cream blushers before & never liked it! They are either too thick for my skin, hard to blend or the worse - They dry matte/powdery! ㅠㅠ
My skin is really dry so I really don't need to add a powdery, too-thick-to-blend cream blusher on my skin - powder blushers already make my skin feel uncomfortable dry!
BUT I love the natural result of cream blushers! They look so fresh & natural on beauty gurus on Youtube but on me. . .<丶´Д｀> fedfdifcsidofhwefh cries.
I decided to give the Etude House Watercolor Blusher a try! Because from reviews I've read, they apparently have a semi-moisture finish & a not completely matte/powdery finish & blends very easily!❤
Wow. . . There is heaven & its called Etude House!❤
So here's my review on the Etude House Watercolor Blusher in 04 Excited Lilac!~ ❤
Original Etude Price:- 6,000원

It costs a little bit extra than the original price but it's totally worth it!

the face evenly.
2. Creamy & Natural Texture

coverage that spreads gently like whipped cream.

clear color.

설레이는 라일락 - Excited Lilac
10ml
Just the idea of whipped cream texture sounds really nice *0* hnnngg~(○´∀｀○)❤ I thinks it great that it's long-lasting with its water-silicone system! For some people, (specially an oily skin) cream/liquid blusher just slides off in certain climates! ㅠㅠ That must be so annoying!
I chose Excited Lilac because in Get it Beauty's Baby face episode, they use a lavender blusher to express pure, baby like skin!~❤
I want a baby face toooo~! (ﾉ*^▽^)ﾉ❤
Krystal used Innocent Baby Apricots in her Get it Beauty '3 Changing Makeup look video!❤
The cutest cream blusher ever & it looks like a watercolour tube! vebfbsefcbsdofsidfnaios - foreverfangirling-❤
I have a bit of a gripe with the packaging though, its plastic & feels kind of thin so I hope it will not rip like my acrylic paints do! XD I don't think so though, it feels quite sturdy enough!~
The tube is sealed beforehand (I already took it off) to prevent spillages - But don't worry, once the seal is off; the blusher will not spill out - Travel friendly!❤
I think once you get used to using the tube, you'll be able to get the correct amount. It's just like getting familiar with a BB cream pump!~❤

| Wah, sorry for such blurriness! |
It's more a gel rather than cream (I'm very used to creams) - It really does look like smooth whipped cream!❤
. . .
Scent
The blusher has a floral palma violets scent! If you do not know, parma violets are a candy in the UK!~ My childhood candy (^▽^)ﾉ❤
The scent dissipates after a while on the face.

It's a waterbased blush so it quite refreshing to blend out - ideal for hot climates & oily skin. It's almost liquid when you spread it out (I'm very sure that's the high quality oil it contains)
It doesn't feel rough/powdery against the skin & its not thick to the point, you pull the skin while blending.
Excited Lilac has a very lovely sheer finish 'Spread gel technology is applied for adding natural to
the face evenly.' With only a slight hint of lilac - But thankfully due to how light & waterbased it is, you can easily layer it for a more stronger colour. (ﾉ*^▽^)ﾉ❤
It settles to a semi-matte-semi moist finish & my skin feels moist to touch. I wear dewy BB Creams & CC Cream & wear a powdery cream blusher looks AWFUL - But with this semi-matte blusher, it looks great! (○´∀｀○)❤
If cream blushers slide off your face, this blusher will work for you!~❤
Two layers
This is the colour I want to achieve!❤
Because this blusher is semi-matte - it is a bonus for those with oily skin! especially if moisturising blushers break you out!
This blusher does release some oil after an hour & a little bit more as time goes out. It doesn't bother me but to those with oily skin might:-
Oil Test
It is as mentioned before a little bit moisturising - a bonus for dry skin people like me! BUT the moisture does fade as time goes by - In the oil test, photo '4hours' look rather dry & like a cream.
I try to wear this over a moisturising base to keep the blusher as moist as possible.
All in all though, it is great for dry skin!❤
Sticky Test
Am I making sense now? <丶´Д｀> I'm confusing myself ㅠㅠ
Just a heads up for you guys. I completely forgot to remove it because it might change the way this blusher settles etc.
Anyway, I have absolutely no colour in my cheeks whatsoever - I'm a KeiKei corpse <丶´Д｀> sadness. I only get rosy cheeks when I sleep really well & I've just got my sleeping routine back.
even more sadness.

It blends quite fast & evenly on my skin than other cream blushers I've tried - I'm sure it will not accentuate acne!
It kind of reminds me of blending a semi-matte BB Cream~

| Blending |
It's not heavy & you can barely feel it so very good for oily skin without problem triggers.

| No flash |
Not caking or crumbling - but baby soft, lilac cheeks!~❤
It's not quite a bright as shown on the models face but I'm sure with a few more layers of this product, you can achieve that look~ ^▽^❤

Overall
I very much like this blusher!~❤
It's very easy to use & the texture is like whipped cream.❤ The
The colour is simply beautiful & natural but can be easily built up from sheer to vibrant statement colour with no cake up.❤
It's creates a pretty baby-fresh face & works great for highlight as well as blusher~ ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ❤
It lasts quite long, I've been wearing it for about 7 hours now & my cheeks still appear lilac though a little bit faded - It doesn't not look as fresh anymore but it's still there & I still have a baby-face colour. I recommend a matching blusher over the top or translucent powder just to set it a bit longer.
7 hours is still really good though! especially for a cream blusher!
I wore it in the pouring rain on Tuesday, & it held very well! waterproof!
