i’ve never had very good luck with cream blushes in the past. i always felt they leave quite a bit of residue that’s very visible. i’ve also had trouble with the color of drugstore blushes. so i was pleasantly surprised to find this creamy blush from max factor. i’ve tried it on a whim, decided to give it a shot in daylight – and voila – I’m a convert. soft cardinal is the color i got, but that’s really dependent on your skin tone. i also like that it’s super small and solid – so perfect for your travel set!
