Okay, so I finally caved and bought the Rare Beauty blush in 'Encourage' after seeing it EVERYWHERE. And y'all... it's worth the hype!

The color payoff is insane - like one tiny dot gives me the perfect flushed look. I was scared it'd be too intense but it blends out like a dream with fingers or a brush.

Staying power? 10/10. I put it on at 7am before work and it's still there when I'm wiping my makeup off at night. Through coffee breaks, lunch, and even my post-work gym session.

Pro tip: Warm it up on your hand first before applying. And go light! This stuff is PIGMENTED. I made the mistake of using too much first time and looked like a clown for about 20 minutes before fixing it.

Also obsessed with how creamy it feels - not sticky or drying at all. Plays nice with my other makeup products too.

Only con? The bottle is so small but you need so little that it'll probably last me a year. Already planning to buy another shade!
