Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush

I know there has been quite a bit of hype regarding this blush but - on the off chance you haven't seen much about this - I couldn't resist sharing my thoughts since it's one of my favourite recent buys. 

I went for the Soft Pink shade, and - on first glance - you'll notice the size of it is pretty small. At £6.99, it could be considered quite pricey but a little goes a long way with this beauty. I expect to still be using it over the next few months - so it's not too shabby in terms of value.

Just to point out, apart from the top 'title' photo, these photos are unedited so you can clearly see the shade of the blush. Soz but anyone who puts a filter on swatch photos should probably be banished. 

Here's a swatch of it on my arm (pre-blended and post-blended). Such a pretty and feminine shade; you can obviously build it up or use just use a smidge for a more subtle 'just-pinched' blush. 

I used my middle finger to apply this (I'm not sure if there's a specific brush that could be used with it, so feel free to leave me suggestions if so!), and I find the texture of the blush to be really silky soft and creamy. It's not too firm at all and softens as you rub you rub your finger around it to gather the product.

On application, I found it left my skin dewy and beautifully highlighted. In fact, it reminds me ever so slightly of Benefit's High Beam (now that's a comparison I don't mind).

What do you think of the blush? Have you tried any other shades? I'm not so sure about the others in the range, so I'd love to hear what you think if you have!
