Sophie Magic Pink Cream Review

I've been excited to try this cheek tint from Sophie Martin. They say that it's a nice dupe to Smashbox O-Glow, which made me want to try it.

What I like about cheek tints is that they are easy to apply without using a brush. You can just dab some onto your finger and apply to your cheeks directly. I like using cheek tints during summer, when i don't feel like putting anything on my face except sunblock and cheek color.

Swatches:I can't tell if it's exactly a dupe for Smashbox O-Glow because i don't own one. But it's a nice product to try without hurting your pocket. ;)

What I Like:

• it gives a natural flush of pink on my cheeks
• it lasts long
• inexpensive

What I Don't Like:

• hard-to-find, it took me a while to look for an outlet near my place
• it leaves stain on my fingers (like most cheek tints do)
  

Price: PhP70 (about US$1.60)
Where to Buy: Sophie Martin outlets/ dealers

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Cheek Tint

When i was browsing the VS website, these cheek tints caught my attention. They are available in three shades: Mon Cherry- the red tint, Just Peachy- which is peach, and I Pink I Can- the one in pink. Each variant come in a sleek and unique design, and like a stick deodorant, you turn the roll and out comes the balm-like stick.

I was able to acquire one of the three shades just recently thru a local seller, and here's my brief review:

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Cheek Tint in Just Peachy

What I Like:

• can be used as a base for powder blushes for a longer-wear
• it's a cheek tint as described, but can actually be used as a lip balm
• i love the delicious fruity scent (citrus+watermelon)
• designed for easy application (i can apply it on my cheeks without a mirror)
• it glides on easily
• it gives a glowy tint
• sheer but buildable peachy pink tint
• sassy packaging
• contains a lot of product
• affordable at 7USD in eBay

swatches:

What I don't like:

• it looks like a mini stick deodorant
• it's like putting a balm, waxy sort of film on the face (so better top it with a powder blush)
• the consistency is more like a balm than a tint
• not recommended to those with oily skin
• no ingredients list on the packaging

Does any one else have this? What are your thoughts?
