Benefit Bella Bamba Blush

Lately, I have been a bit obsessed with blushes. Maybe its the springtime getting to me but I have been loving benefit's bella bamba blush. The color is so gorgeous! I would say its a pretty bright watermelon pink blush with some shimmer in it.



Use:
Just grab your favorite blush brush and sweep it onto your cheeks.

Pros:
The color is so pretty, I usually think that most benefit blushes are suited towards fair to medium skin tones, so thats why I love bella bamba, because it suits my skin tone so well. But my favorite part is the scent, I know,  its weird to smell your makeup, but benefit blushes are scented. Bella bamba reminds me of the sour watermelon gummies, a sweet and artificial watermelon scent, and eveytime I apply the blush, it makes my makeup smell like it, which in this case is good because I like that scent for some reason :) the new packaging of benefit products are cute as well, with a fliptop and a mirror. Cute for on the go or traveling because of a mirror and a brush as well.

Cons:
Well, first there is a lot of fallout. I know any powdered blush will have some fallout, but this one has a bit too much. first, when I swirl my brush over it, the powder tends to go everywhere, and its not like I am dipping in too much, but compared to my tarte amazonian clay, it just goes all over, and not only in the pan, but when applying, it also spreads all over my cheek. Next, the brush that it comes with applies the product too heavily, rendering it useless to me. Latst, is price point, since benefit changed its packaging, they also changed the amount of product for their new blushes. Older ones remain at .42 oz but new ones like bella bamba are now .28 oz, a lot less product for the price, which is $28. A bit pricey compared to other blushes, but they do last a lot longer than most blushes.

Overall:
Great product, cute packaging, but fallout and a bit pricey, but overall a great blush to add to my collection. It would probably be a 4 out of 5 because the cons are pretty significant, but the scent saved it in my eyes, I don't have any other scented blushes so this one is quite interesting to use.
