Formula Overview
$46.00/0.23 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "intense, ultra-pigmented color that lasts," though under "formula," the brand states that it has "bold, yet buildable color." Most of the shades I tried were quite pigmented, but the denser, smoother consistency of the powder made it possible to apply less for more buildable coverage as they weren't too powdery nor too stiff in the pan to work with. They applied easily, blended out well, and stayed on for eight to nine hours on me. The powders did have a floral scent to them, though I did not notice the scent when applied to my skin (more in the compact).

Very pretty on Christine! I may pick this one up. Not much else caught my eye in the Dior holiday collection this year but this is my kinda color for blush.
I don’t know, but I do have Nars Liberté, and that’s a listed “possible dupe”. Unfortunately, no swatch of Liberté showing.
That aside, I LOVE this Cosmic Coral blush! It’s a very fresh tone of coral veering into an orangish hue.
I could tell that the blush was more orangey than coral – it goes on so nicely though. Just love the formula.
