Review: Benefit Dandelion Blush

Dandelion was the first Benefit product that I ever purchased. It's a pretty pale, light pink blush, on the back of the box it's described as "finely spun with delicates mauves and pinks, this exquisite brightening face powder leaves a petal like finish." It's meant to be used as all over the face brightening, but I know most people that buy this use it as a blush, and on fair skin tones it will show up as such. I think this is a really pretty subtle pink blush, good for everyday, and good for those who aren't really into blush as this does give a perk me up, natural looking flush.

It's a boxed powder that retails for about $35 CAD (sooo much!), you get 10g, compared to a regular MAC blush that has 6g, so yes you are paying a lot, but you also get lots of product. It comes with the flat Benefit brush that all their boxed powders have in a plastic covering and case. I keep this all together, even though I don't really use the brush. There is definitely a scent to the powder, it smells like sweet flowers to me. It isn't over-powering and you don't smell it when you wear it either.

MAC's Well Dressed is a very pale pink, but next to Dandelion it looks much more purple-pink toned while Dandelion looks more peachy pink. In the second swatch you can tell that ELF's studio blush in Tickled Pink is way more peachy though, in real life alone, they all just look pink to me, but you can tell they are very different. I would say Dandelion has a somewhat 'satin' finish like Well Dressed has, it does illuminate slightly (subtle shimmers visible in box, but not on the face) but is very soft and delicate looking. I would recommend this only however for those that are quite fair because it is so light. I have to pack it on quite a bit to get the colour to show up on my cheeks.

Do you have Dandelion?
