It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

While the matte ROSE&PLAY hue appears quite vibrant on the packaging, it softens somewhat once applied to the skin. Try it out first by applying it to a small area of your skin.

For the first coat, I used it in the daytime hoping to "add" or "enhance" the color. Of again, it could just be that I'm used to a different, lighter hue. Even if there isn't a proper brush for the job, these shadows are so well-cooked that they can be securely applied with fingertips (so long as you're standing in front of a mirror in the bathroom or have some napkins handy).

It seems like blondes with fair skin would look great in this color. However, I eventually adjusted; a heavier hand is all that's required, and with this color, I never have to worry about "overdoing it."

Pros

The compact packaging of the blush makes it ideal for toting around in a makeup bag. Despite some light scratches (which, incidentally, are also present on the package of competing manufacturers), I have no concerns about this product's presentation. It retains its form reasonably well provided you don't drop it or jumble it up with your keys in your pocket. The perks include a lovely hue, a soft silky feel, no dustiness, no need to shake off extra powder (thus saving money), and a flat, even appearance on the skin. It's simple to apply multiple layers to achieve a deeper color. The number of layers, and hence the strength of the shade, can be adjusted with relative ease. It's impossible to roll one of these. No noticeable odor (felt only when sniffing the item from very close range), no change in skin condition, and no allergic reactions.

Cons

Average longevity. Because of how quickly they burn out, they are always clean at the end of the day, especially if you are constantly touching your face. One major drawback is that the product has a relatively short shelf life, barely six months after opening the packaging. Even after six months of heavy use, its 5g weight suggests you're still not making full use of it.
