This extraordinary little flower came out as part of the Essence Aloha, Babes summer limited edition. I couldn’t resist, despite the mixed reviews. Spoiler: for me, those reviews turned out to be untrue. =)
Surprisingly, the limited edition packaging is really nice — sturdy plastic of good quality. The compact feels weighty and pleasant in the hand. The product itself is almost 7 g.
The flower design is three-dimensional and beautiful, with petals that look very realistic. This is not a dry product. I’d describe its texture as jelly-cream: it picks up like a cream with a finger, but makes the brush feel almost wet. I’ve never encountered a texture like this before — it’s fascinating.
The shade is golden, with no base color, and in the sun it looks like a scattering of multicolored sparkles. Don’t expect a smooth sheen — it’s made of distinct glitter particles. But sometimes, that’s exactly what you want.
In sunlight, it shimmers with gold, green, and pink — absolutely stunning over a summer tan.
I liked applying it most with my fingertip: that way, it layers easily, and you can achieve an unreal level of sparkle. With a brush, the effect is more delicate. Longevity is excellent — it lasts all day, even in the heat. On the eyelids, however, it works only for a couple of hours, so I stick to wearing it on the cheekbones — and it makes me very happy. =)
Final verdict: I’m in love. The bloggers’ negative reviews didn’t scare me off, and I discovered a little masterpiece.
