Formula Overview
$15.50/0.18 oz. - $86.11 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to blend "effortlessly" and "build" to a "luminous matte" finish and "any intensity with ease." In general, they had medium, buildable coverage that easily built up to mostly opaque to opaque coverage.
Per the brand, they recommend "tapping" rather than swirling one's brush, which I'd agree with for picking up more buildable pigment--swirling or heavier motions could yield more opaque coverage in one go (which could be desired).
The texture was moderately dense, smooth, and not powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan, so the product picked up well with more feathery brushes as well as denser brushes.
As I applied the powder and buffed it into my skin, they had a more semi-matte to natural matte finish--not flat or dry but not overly shimmery either. They looked more "melted" on my skin, which gave them a better and more flattering finish applied. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before fading visibly.

Ingredients
Love the shimmer on this one.
Perfect everyday blush shade for me, personally! I absolutely love the other two Lethal Cosmetics blushes that I own, so I know that their formula is fantastic and very, very pigmented.
So pretty! I’m waiting on mine to arrive from Germany. CRC sold out of it too quickly, so I had to order from Lethal.
Now this is truly lovely – even I could wear the soft shimmer on this one!
Oh, pretty!
I should replace NARS Orgasm, maybe I should get this one instead, If anyone was to ask what blush I use it’d feel more comfortable I think, to say Plan 9. 😀
Ooooh nice! Love this formula.
