T'estimo Pure Layer Loose Powder Blush Review

T'estimo has a similar style of blush out as Jill Stuart (actually quite a few Japanese brands do similar loose blushes).

T'estimo Pure Layer Loose Powder Blush


The difference of course in the two would be price and quality.

Sadly, as much as I love T'estimo the blush is lacking something for me! The packaging is an adorable domed container with a soft brush that will look quite lovely on your vanity displayed with your other cosmetic items however the blush inside leaves a bit to be desired!

I have these in two flavors WT-04 and P-K20. I'll get to the WT-04 in a minute but first let me explain PK-20. PK-20 appears to me the darker of the two pink shades that are offered from T'estimo. Sadly, the blush is very sheer and even after building up color with a few strokes it still fails to wow me. The texture is quite the same as the Jill Stuart blushes I own which is an almost sheer, chalky feel but unlike the Jill Stuart this is not so pigmented.

PK-20




It's so strange that a company that makes such amazing, pigmented eyeshadows makes such a weak blush! I think it's safe to say that if you are fairer of a skin you might very well be able to pull PK-20 off but for me I'm sadly left desiring something more when it comes to this blush!

The good news is the WT-04 is gorgeous and it's just about near perfect for the upcoming Holiday season! WT-04 is a sheer shimmering shade of white that I use for a touch of sparkle and to contour around my cheeks and face! It's delightfully simple in it's shimmer and it's not at all over done! I'm not sure why the fit it in with the blush but for me it's a multitasking tool! I use it on my face as well as my eyes and across my cleavage for some barely there shine! Truly I heart WT-04 and if you're considering purchasing any of these I'd most definately pick this little guy up!

WT-04


T'estimo Pure Layer Blush is available in four shades total which are the two I've already mentioned and two others that are OR-21 which is an orange/peach shade and PK-21 which is the newest and a softer shade of pink than PK-20.

The blushes are available for purchase from JPMon and Adam Beauty for about $23usd per a blush. Now might be a good time to grab yourself some of these since T'estimo is slowly being fazed out and being replaced with a new brand!

The Muse approves of at least one color in this line but the rest she says skip 'em and buy something else!
