Let me start by saying – this blush is *art*. The moment I unboxed it, the intricate 3D embossing of a fairy tale girl had me staring like it was a museum piece. The compact feels luxe with its antique brooch design, and that satisfying *click* when it closes? Chef’s kiss.

I got shade #03 Ballet Fairy, and wow—it’s PINK pink. Like, cotton-candy-at-a-ballet pink. If you’re into bold hues, this is your jam. The matte finish surprised me—no glitter fallout, just a soft-focus glow that blends like a dream with my fluffy brush (though fair warning: tap off excess to avoid overdoing it).

Here’s the tea: pigmentation is *strong*. One swipe gives a whisper of color; two builds to Instagram-ready vibes. It lasted through my 10-hour workday (coffee runs included) without fading into oblivion—unlike some high-end brands I’ve tried. Sensitive skin gang? No irritation here!

But heads up: the embossing is almost *too* pretty to ruin (RIP fairy girl after three uses). Also, the shade range leans whimsical—some might find Ballet Fairy too Barbie-core. For beginners craving subtlety, try Summer Blossom instead.

At this price point? You’re paying for the *experience*—the weighty compact, the mirror bigger than my self-esteem, that giddy feeling whipping it out at brunch. Is it extra? Absolutely. Worth it? If you love makeup as both tool *and* treasure, 100%.
