This cute little blush came out just in time for Valintine's day this year. I picked it up when when Shopper's Drug Mart had a 40% sale on their products.
Like many Physicians Formula products there is a mosaic of colours (this time in the shape of hearts) that blend well into each other to make a very pretty product. I love that only one of the heats has a lot of shimmer on it, so it is easy to tone down the shimmer content if you avoid it or easy to play up the shimmer if you focus on it.
Under the blush, the mirror and brush.
The only strange thing that happened to me using it has to do with the packaging. It was stuck to the box and when I removed it there was no label on the back but a spot where there was no longer pink on the packaging. As well the pan popped out of the packaging ... there was zero glue whatsoever holding it in place.  This is minor to me, and doesn't effect the actual product to me, just an inconvenience.
Pros:
  • good product 
  • nice blush 
  • blends well
  • customizable colour
Cons:
  • a bit pricy (for a drug store) - at 7 g it is 1 g bigger than a Mac blush and only slightly cheeper. PF Canadian site lists the SMRP of $15.99 but every store is selling it for $18.99-19.99
  • packing is flimsy
  • being glued down results in an ugly bottom
  • no label on product
Overall:
I like the product and I am glad I got it on sale. The colour is really nice and it looks great on me.
I would not have paid the $19.99 I had seen it listed in most stores for it.
The packaging sucks. The brush is useless, the glued down compact results in a labeless product with an ugly mark on the bottom. In addition there was no glue holding my pan in place.
