This is an old blush from my stash. It comes in a mascara set from Lancome in USA so I was not given an option to choose the colour. It used to retail for US$27

I had difficulty in using this blush initially because the colour is just too subtle and it does not show on my cheeks despite having a fair skin tone. And being my first cream blush, I found it to be too troublesome to keep using my fingers in laying something that just would not turn up on the cheeks.

Looking at the colour, its really gorgeous. Its not so girly-pink and I like the little specks of shimmer in the pinky bronze shade.
I found myself to be reaching for this lately and I used it on the cheekbones with some colour down to the cheeks, and then layering with a powder blush. Cream blush tends to stay on better than powder blush and by layering two, my blush is still apparent by the end of the day.
I like the natural glowing bronze look from this freeze shimmer blush on my cheekbones. It works better as a highlighter than a blush and by using adding on a powder blush, it just works perfectly on my skin.
However, because of its highlighting glowing shade, its more preferred on blemish-free skin. At least, in my personal opinion. The little zit-like spots on my cheeks have become an eyesore, with this Freeze Frame blush.
The packaging itself seems to be too blah for something that costs US$27. However the texture glides on smoothly and the colour lasts.

i think canmake is also a popular choice for cream blush..the impression of cream blush tend to be messy though. :P

i think lancome makes good blush..and even drugstore one can be good though i think surely might not be as pigmented as the branded one with better pigmentation e.g. MAC.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing. I have heard much about Canmake products but yet to venture into this brand, except for 1 eyeshadow palette. :)
