Formula Overview
$29.00/0.21 oz. - $138.10 Per Ounce
The WANDERful World Blush formula is supposed to have a "silky-soft" texture that is "buildable, blendable" and feel "weightless" on the skin. The range featured finishes from matte to shimmer with less-intense variations in-between. They described the effect as "soft-focus, airbrushed," and I think that was the one aspect that stood out to me (without even having read the description) was how smooth, seamless, and soft the blushes sat on my skin.
They were medium to mostly opaque, buildable in pigmentation and felt very intuitive to use. I could use a lighter hand for sheerer coverage, a heavier hand for higher coverage, or easily build and blend to desired opacity in a way that felt quite forgiving. The consistency was finely-milled, smooth, and easy to pick up with smaller, larger, feathery, and denser brushes.
The formula lasted eight to nine hours on me with some of the richer/deeper hues with slight shimmer seeming to last a bit longer compared to the very light and more matte shades.

My favorite out of all the new shades! This is that perfect shade to give my cheeks the natural (on me!) berry-brown sunkissed look I get after a day at the beach! Oddly, not from the sun as much as from the wind!
Beautiful, but subtle plum shade with a smooth finish. Perfect.
I love this color. Do you think this could be applied lightly enough for a neutral light to medium complexions? I’m learning that the plum family, if not to dark, are almost perfect for my coloring.
