Beauty Review: Majolica Majorca Puff De Cheeks Apricot Macaron

Puff de Cheek is a popular blush line from Majolica Majorca.
The packaging is lightweight and its concept is adorable! 

The tin is suppose to resemble a french macaron. SO CUTE! 



I picked up the color apricot macaron at Watson for around 380 NT.  The camera didn't capture the blush's intensity. It's more of a pure tangerine in the tin which is this summer's trend.



2 heavy swipes on my NC25 skin

Unfortunately, the powder isn't very pigmented, but it is build able. The powder puff it comes with doesn't pick up color very well so I recommend using a blush brush. Around 2 swipes per cheek gives a very natural look perfect for any summer outing. 

Final comments:
-Texture: matte finish
-Blends nicely
-Not too pigmented, but build able
-Lightweight (cheap) packaging
-Lasts throughout the day (as long as your not sweating balls xD)
-Not waterproof
-Hard to find, but available online if you don't live in Asia

I rate this: 7/10

-1  Poor pigmentation compared to the other colors available 
-1  Lack of availability anywhere outside of Asia
-1 Beautiful tin, but cheap quality (There are some subtle dents on my container)


Would I buy this again? 
-Probably not. It is a nice blush, but there's nothing too special about it.  

Do I recommend it?
-Yes, but only if it's convenient or if you're comfortable with online shopping. There's no reason to go out of your way to buy this product.

Where is it available? 
-Watson $13 USD (380 NT)
-Ebay $22 USD for Buy It Now
-Local Chinatown beauty stores in New York City $20-$30
