Review: Kanebo Media Cheek Color A RD-1

Hi guys!

This week I'm reviewing a japanese blusher, a gift from a lovely friend <3.

Just as last week reviewed KATE product, this one's also a subbrand of Kanebo. Not as popular, but still going strong. Media's packaging is quite similar to KATE's, but more simple and often navy. Therefore I don't think it's targeted towards teens. It looks more mature, yet it is cheaper than other drugstore brands, such as Visee. It's a brand, I wouldn't try out in the first place, because the packaging is kinda boring to me and it's pretty cheap, so I wouldn't think it's good. Luckily I got a friend, who proved this brands does deserve our attention.

This blusher is the shade RD-1, which is a pretty coral color. I think it will look good with all skin tones. The powder isn't as finely milled as high-end brands, but you can't expect from a quarter of the price you would pay. It comes with a small blusher brush, which is actually really good. It's so soft!

Even though it's quite cheap, it doesn't lack in a lot of aspects! The pigmentation is amazing and one swipe is enough for each cheeky cheek. The blush has a subtle satin finish and looks incredibly natural and glowy. One thing you have to keep it mind is that it doesn't blend really well. You have to work in into your skin to get an even finish, but that's the only problem.

So all in all, I really like this blusher, just the packaging could be more exciting. Some think the design is irrelevant, but no it isn't - for me^^. If two products are basically the same, cost the same, but just are from two different brands, you'll take the better designed one, right?
It costs about 10 - 13 € at adambeauty or ichibankao.

Take care until next time,
