As a former Floridian, warm weather year-round was my norm. I had never experienced seasons until I moved to New York—and boy, did I learn fast. Thirteen years in, and the snow still dries me nuts, but I’ve since formed a soft spot for spring. It may not be the most glamorous of the seasons (rain showers, I’m talking about you), but I like that it signals the start of something new.
In the beauty world, that usually means I’m packing up my powders and pulling out my cream-based products (finally!). Gone are the days of flat matte. Instead, I’m all about the glow—even in my blush.
I love the Rose Inc Cream Blush Refillable Cheek & Lip Color for this exact reason. It’s a two-in-one, melts-into-your-skin rouge that gives both lips and cheeks an instant flush with the prettiest sheen-like finish.
The formula itself is made with hydrating ingredients (hyaluronic acid, squalane, and vitamin E) to add moisture, along with some color, whenever you apply it. It’s also super blendable and buildable. While you can use whatever tool is in your arsenal (brush, sponge), I prefer to tap it on using my fingers. First, I swirl one or two fingers in the pan, then take it straight to my cheeks, working my way up to my temples. I do this a few times to reach my desired intensity, then spritz on some setting spray and call it a day.
No matter what shade you go with (I really like the light pink Hydrangea), the result is always a really dewy, rosy finish that glows.
The Rose Inc Cream Blush Refillable Cheek & Lip Color is in the March Allure Beauty Box.
