Review: Jill Stuart Mix Blush Compact #15 Sweet Lock Limited Edition

"Limited Edition" - Jill Stuart ("JS") limited edition items are highly sought after.
Fortunately for me (and my wallet!),
I'm a fan of their Mix Compact Blushes only ^_^

JS Fall 2011 offers the Mix Blush Compact in #15 Sweet Lock
(also the oddest Mix Blush Compact name todate...Hmmm...

Anyway, THIS is one of the items, Limited Edition or not,
after clicking the irrevocable CheckOut button,
I knew I would either go "AWEsome" or "GRUEsome"
only when it arrives +_+
*so I twiddled my thumbs and waited*

Goes unsaid that JS LE items  has little extra details to draw you in...

Filigree detailing on the box...

Filigree detailing on the casing and brush...

I love JS Mix Blush Compacts' formulation;

(soft,  silky smooth, barely any shimmer if any,

gives the most natural glow I've seen in powder blushes

- it's almost difficult to believe it's "powder" blush).

Note:

This is the 2nd of future Picture Tutorials which will be posted in my Blog.No worries! I WILL continue posting videos of Picture Tutorials in my YouTube Channel. The DIFFERENCES between those in YouTube and here are:

** the magazine scans here are TOTALLY UN-edited, raw. There's absolutely NO WAY you'll be able to see the whole page in Videos even if I render them in HD, whereas here, you can click to ENLARGE them full-size (not to mention copyright infringement issues in YouTube ~_~),

** picture tutorials which are VERY self-explanatory. Case in point, see tutorial below. The placement of colours are EXACTLY the same, except different palettes, mascaras & liners were used. Let's just say I don't want to insult YOUR intelligence and waste MY time when something is so self-explanatory? ^_^ When it comes to more detailed Picture Tutorials, I WILL still edit them for YouTube as per my usual practice! And last but not least,

** I'm not keen on posting cosmetic advertorials in YouTube. I'm not getting paid nor sponsored by them obviously, and I don't want to jump through hoops of the FTC disclaimer gray area. 'Nuff said. So, if you want to be UPDATED about the Picture Tutorials here, just CLICK the FOLLOW button ~_^ Simple, no?

On with the tutorial...

By the way, I have made a tutorial on Blush, so please refer to it on combining TWO blush colours! ^_^

This particular batch of magazine scans is an advertorial of Jill Stuart's Fall 2010 collection, focusing on its latest blush, the Blush Blossom.

The Blush Blossom is described as :

Like the gentle blossoming of a wreath of pink flowers.
Loose powder cheek color that brings both innocence and luster to your cheeks.

Apparently, it utilises crystal powder technology, so these new blushes have an air-like, soft texture.

It is currently available in 5 color combinations :
01 Romantic Sweet Pea
02 Sweet Mum
03 Lady Amaryllis
04 Seductive Rose
05 Poetic Daisy – Limited Edition
