Blast from the past! I just found my Rouge cream blush pod (reorganizing my lippie and blush stash, finally!), and tried it on, and I remembered why I put it aside: it's a bit harsh on my cheeks, or I just need to be even lighter handed.
On a whim though, I applied it on my lips, and whoa! One of the most wearable reds I own, neutral but lights up my face, applies beautifully (softer than the current blush sticks), no shimmer just a layer of sheer color, very buildable too.
I wonder if Karen still has the recipe. This is likely gonna last me a while, as the pod was just about untouched, but would be nice there is more where it came from

i really like the rouge cream blush, too - both on my cheeks (very sparingly) and as a subtle red lip stain. it's not as harsh as candy apple, which always makes me look sick and feverish
