Please-blossom

ColourPop Please-blossom Cheek Dew Serum Blush ($7.00 for 0.48 oz.) is a rich, slightly deeper red with moderately cool undertones and a dewy sheen.

Sheer, slightly buildable coverage (as marketed)
Lightweight, gel-like consistency
Thin but not watery, “serum” like as marketed
Applied well over bare skin and did not lift foundation
Shorter-wearing (6 hours)

P.S. — When I originally tried this formula, it was awful. I could not get it to apply well at all (I tried an assortment of techniques and tools), but I was able to apply it using my fingertips as I would any other blush. The texture seemed much more gel-like and a lot less watery/emollient! I will definitely have to try new shades going forward to see if they are all as improved before making changes to the formula overview!

Formula Overview

$7.00/0.48 oz. - $14.58 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "buildable coverage" with a "hint" of dewiness that can be applied with fingertips, sponge, or a duo fiber brush and is recommended to be applied prior to powder products.

The consistency was very fluid, and while it was sheerer by the nature of the fluidity of the formulation, you didn't need to squeeze out that much to get going. I would recommend squeezing out a bit on the back of your hand and gently rubbing it in a small circle using a fingertip, then applying to your face. This helped the product spread out and be the perfect level of tackiness to apply to bare skin or on top of foundation/base products without lifting them up. They had sheer to semi-sheer, buildable coverage.

They don't fully dry down, so the finish remained noticeably dewy (as the name might imply), and it didn't have the best wear (around six hours for better-performing shades), but the products faded evenly and didn't slide around/down my face.
