No 7 Mineral Loose Powder Blusher

Its that time again, where good old Boots have their £5.00 off No7 vouchers, now who doesn't love a money off voucher! This time I decided to try something completely different and this rather large box caught my eye.

Mineral perfection blusher in Rose Pink. 

Inside this rather large box, you not only get the pot of mineral blusher but also a kabuki brush to apply it with. The concept of including the brush with the product is a very good marketing idea. However in reality the brush is soooooooo scratchy and really rather irritating. I used the brush once, before reaching for my Real Techniques buffing brush instead.

The product itself is very sheer and I found you need quite a bit of product to build up the colour. It is however a very light pink anyway, which I think is partly why you have to build it up. It does have some light shimmer in it, but it is very subtle and is really quite pretty. I tried to do a swatch for you, but it is so light it didn't show up, with my rubbishy camera (I am looking into getting a new one).

The colour is very pretty and would suit light skin tones. Currently it is only available in 1 other colour which is soft damson, and I would be interested to try to see the pigmentation. This is the first mineral blusher I have tried so I cannot compare this to the bare minerals ones or any others. However part of the idea behind mineral products in general is that you can build them up accordingly. My one other niggle with this product is the poorly designed pot. Most mineral products have a lid inside which you can open and close to shut off the product, but this one doesn't. Annoyingly this means that all the product floats around in the top of the pot so you have to be super careful when opening it. 

I do like the colour of this blush and will defiantly use it regularly. This product retails at £9.00, but I got it for £4 with my voucher. Would I pay full price....probably not in honesty, but for £4, I am not complaining. 

Have you tried this blusher or any other No7 mineral products. If so what do you think?! Have you tried the soft damson colour?
