For everyday makeup I usually go for blushes that are matte rather than those with shimmers. I want to look as natural as possible or at least not to look too made up. So one time I was in Watson’s just checking out some local makeup counters, and these babies caught my eye.
It’s the Nichido True Colors Powder Blushes! shade: COOL RUM and TOMATO
I grabbed these photos from google because I don't have a good camera at the moment. :(
Price: P 88.00 ( I know riiiight? super cheap and this will last you forever!)

Who doesn't love cheap and good products right? Specially if you're going to wear it often or use it on a day to day basis. Blush is one of my beauty product staples. Some people like to have that bronzed pale look but I just personally like a nice flush of color on my cheeks, it makes you look healthy and glowing.
Nichido blush collection has been on the market for quite a while now. I remembered I bought my first blush product from them, it was way back 2012. Until then I kept on repurchasing it because I love it that much! These are powder blushers that may appear powdery right after application but will look natural on the cheeks when blended well. They all give a matte finish which I find good for everyday wear.
COOL RUM which I love! love! love! is a warm, brownish coral blush. It gives warmth to the face. This shade seems to complement coral, peach, orangey, nude, or brown lipstick. I've read that some use this for contouring so I tried it and it works well. But I prefer to use this solely as a blusher. This is the most used and abused blusher in my stash. I dropped it one time and it crumbled into powder (ooooops).
Next is the shade TOMATO, this blush shade didn't impressed me the first time I used it. It really does make you look tomato red! However I find this color so youthful and fun. Here's a tip, when applying this blush use a soft blush brush and stipple it lightly on your cheeks and WALLAH!!! you now have that perfect flush!
What I like:
- Beautiful color selection.
- Very affordable for only 88 pesos!
- Good color payoff, specially when you use the right brush to apply it.
- They are buildable.
- Average staying power, but with a good base they will last longer.
- Didn't break me out.
- It is available on all Nichido counters nationwide.
What I don't like:
- Lasting power is so-so. 2 to 3 hours max.
- It may appear powdery upon application (again, it will look natural on skin when it has set).
Verdict:
I give this product 3.5 stars! This blush is perfect for everday wear and I love how afforadable nichido products are. The lasting power is not a big deal to me because it's buildable and you can definitely reapply the product when needed.
